Friends and messages

Adding a friend

1. Open the player’s menu (right-click them, or tap on a phone) and press Profile.
2. Press Add Friend on their card.
3. They get a note with Decline and Accept. If they miss it, it waits in their Friends window.

• On the website, the Add friend button is on every player’s page and in the Player Lookup.

The Friends window

• Press the Friends button. Its small number is how many friends are online - or, in orange, how many requests are waiting.
• Friends: who is online (green dot), with Message. The ... button has Visit their home and Remove friend.
• Requests: the ones you received (Accept / Decline) and the ones you sent (Cancel).
• When a friend comes online, a note tells you.

Private messages

1. Press Message in the Friends window, or in the player’s menu.
2. On a computer the conversation opens as a new tab of the chat, with the player’s picture and name.
3. Type in the chat box while that tab is chosen: only that player reads it.

• You can write to anyone you don’t ignore - a friend or not.
• Not on the island right now? Your messages are kept for them to read later. (To players who are away, not your friends and haven’t written to you, 10 a day at most.)
• When you open a conversation, your last messages together are there.
• A number on the tab tells you how many new messages you haven’t read. Its little x closes it.
• Private messages are not secret from the Muniz team: never share private information.

On a phone: the bubble button beside the talk box opens the Chat history: each conversation is a tab there.
