Online Player Registry
« on: April 22, 2010, 06:10:07 PM »
So, it occurred to me that it might be incredibly helpful to have an online player registry.  Right now I have done it by setting up a simple Google Spreadsheet.  The headings are easily identified, and should be easy enough to fill out.  Right now I have it set up so that anyone can edit it, but if that appears to be a problem in the future as this gets larger I may just start running it as open to view, closed to edits and ask for submissions.

Here is the link to the sheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlHt7ttQxmPVdGpLOVI3VGpQZzlTZFBIXzBpTkxBZEE&hl=en,

Hopefully people find this useful, and if it looks like there's sufficient demand, I would be willing to put some time and effort into making it a bit more professional looking and moderated.

Thanks!  I dropped an entry in there.  Plus I added a line for Google chat names.

I saw that, and it's a good addition, thanks.

Why not just use an established service, like nearbygamers.com?

Two reasons:

1)  I didn't know it existed (thanks by the way)

2)  It doesn't include the ability to identify GMs or PBP games easily.

That said, I'm not really trying to set up a competing system, but one to more easily handle the list building on the play by post section of this board, and I figured a system like the spreadsheet would be better than the list that was forming.
