Firefox Game Turn Notifier
and RSS Play Risk Online
Keeping up with a lot of turns can really fill up your email inbox. Or sometimes a turn email can get lost in the fray.
Now there are two new ways to keep on top of your turns.
RSS Feed
Every player now has their own RSS feed. It looks like the example below:
https://www.majorcommand.com/Rss/UserGames_TurnDue.php?username=badorties
Keep in mind that you need to replace Badorties with your own username
Then just paste that into your RSS reader and you will get something like this (google reader).
You can click any of those numbers to take you to the game.
Firefox Game Turn Notifier
If you need a more immediate way to get notified for your turns, then try this Firefox extension: Major Command Game Turn Notifier
After you install it, in Firefox go to Tools >>Addons >>Extensions and click Options on the Notifier. You can then put in your username, like so.
After this is done, you should see a small grey or yellow square in the bottom right of your Firefox window.
Grey means you don’t have any turns.
Yellow means you have a turn to take.
And clicking the icon will bring up a list of your games.
Cool! Great work by Evan and Codanostra on these features so be sure to give them a pat on the back.
