Messages? (White Giant)

God, this game is so frustrating on so many levels! How on earth do I add someone to my address book? How do I even use the address book? And how do I find the address of a player when their country has sent me a message?? I've joined a federation, but there seems to be no way to send a message to the player who actually invited me! In fact there's no readily apparent way to even message other players at all.

I love it! I finally find a player I want to add to my address book. So I click on address book to add the player, and the game provides no way to add new addresses and up pops the helpful message "The address book is still empty"

Yeah, I KNOW IT'S F***ING EMPTY - THAT'S WHY I OPENED IT: TO ADD A NEW ADDRESS!!!!

Jaysus, people get paid to think this stuff up???

You make some valid points, but...

Shut up and listen up.

The address book is for contacts, that is, players.

Search the contact you wish to add by his nick on this page:
https://www.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwPortal&SN_METHOD=pcfind

The game will provide you a table with all the contacts that matched your criteria. On that table, the far right column will be tagged "Actions".

You still following me? You better...

You will see two icons: one to send a message, another to add the contact to your contact list. Try to guess which is which. (If you miss...)
