After doing a retal a little while ago, the thought occurred to me that I don't have any contacts to speak of in case of problems and such.

I don't see one here on this forum, but is there a contact list anywhere for clans in FFA?

there used to be one on the old forums. im not sure if that can still be obtained, but im sure a mod could create a sticky if not.

Missiles, Dragon, not contacts.

That's the solution to your problems.
