Adding Info to The Intro Telegram

In my time on NS, I've noticed a reaccuring phenomenon. Most new players, it seems, once they have found their way to the forum, are bound to post a "How do I Play This Game" type of thread. Would it be at all possible to add a link to the stickies in the intro telegram? Something like,

"Welcome to Nation States, etc, etc, to learn more about how to manage your nation and interact with other players please view these great threads: URLs."

I think this would save alot of time, effort, and precious space. Thoughts?

I second this! This would really help out.

I'm suprised an idea as simple and potentially effective as this hasn't come up before. I don't think it would involve that much of a code change, though I suspect Salusa will want to get the more pressing issues with regards to the jolt move covered before he (or Max) pursues anything like this.

Regardless, it has my full support.

Definitely a good idea.

I, too, think this idea is brillant. It will not only give nations a chance to glance at the rules, but it might help out in the long run more than we can imagine.

All the stickies and such are 'extra information' essentially - what new players should really read is the FAQ.

Then, perhaps, it should be emphasized moreso in the welcome telegram to read it. :p

Does this mean my idea is a no-go? :(
