Mentoring Pilot Program Discussion

[comic boy]

if this idea works

count me in for sponsoring any new guy that needs to learn the game

not only new guys , even some1 with over 100 games and still cant manage to win games or doesnt know what he is actually doing for the right forts and attacks

Good idea chess - I will gladly sponsor you

[Risktaker17]

I wouldn't mind to bring a noob under my wing.

[Thantos]

I wouldnt mind having a mentor if ya know what I mean

[CirqueDaddy]

I would love a mentor to show me around here. Find all of the core players and good games.

[Itrade]

There you go, two new recruits in need of sponsors. I'll put their names up on the first post and two dudes can help these guys.

Also, General Monkey won a game. Not due to my help, but still

[parker4s]

Do they have to be new recruits bcse like me i started like a little ago but im private now and i always need advice. So do they actually have to be "New Recruit" or can there be a game limit like 17-20 games. I mean i wouldnt have minded the advice when i started. Ive only played 11 games unlike experienced players. So my questoin is whats the level the sponsers have to be and how many games they should have played. Cause u dont want the sponser to have a lower rank than the kid ur sponsering. My other questoin is what does New Recruit count as. And Rocket will u be my sponser man.

[Easye]

If anyone would like to sponser me, it would be much appreciated. I could always use more advice. Kelwboy has offered me great advice thus far, perhaps he reads this thread? I'll take anyone that thinks they're worthy of giving advice, cause it probably means it's good. Thanks.

[Itrade]

Alright, the program has changed from sponsor a recruit to sponsor a new guy until he's ready to work on his own. But his wins stop counting after he becomes a corporal.

Parker4s and Easye, you're on the first post. Good luck with your games.

Also, General Monkey has lost two games and won one since I started sponsoring him. I am in the lead!

But there is no competition, so it isn't much to be proud of. Some rise up to the challenge already.

[wacicha]

What I do is This . I take a copy of the post of how to play for the new player I then pm it to every rookie on first round in my games. This tends to be a lot of games I amactive in over 100

most thank me hen they start asking questions. I answer what I can and also help them to look in forum

[Fircoal]

I want to be mentored. [size=0]not for help just so I can do rude insults at the person that tryies to help me. And I won't stop there, I'll send many pms with the same message saying, YOUR ADVICE SUCKS! I WANT BETTER ADVICE! [/size]

[Visaoni]

Oh right, I forgot while writing that overly long post.

Add me to the list.

[reverend_kyle]

Can I go stalking of new recruits?

You suck.

[jnd94]

I started a thread exactly like this already! In the suggestions and bug reports forum! Jeez, I get no credit around here...

[OneManArmy]

Hahaha, I wouldn't mind a little help here and there either... :-P (put me on the list please!).

[Itrade]

Sorry JND, I didn't search I'll mention you, though. Post the link to the suggestion if you want me to link to is.

And OneManArmy, you're the last new guy that I'm entering tonight. Lucky you.

[flashleg8]

I'll help someone out if they want, but it would be handy if they're on the same time zone - or logs on at a time with me (cause I prefer to play open games).
Oh and they've got to be into no cards - or at least flat rate. None of that freestyle or escalating pish.

True, but I'll just help them how to win doubles, no cards, classic!

Seriously, Escalating and Freestyle just aren’t Risk. I'm not saying they don't require skill, but they've little relation to the board game - so I really only play them when I'm challenged. I could show someone how they work - but to be honest other players (probably in North America - where I believe it was commonly put in the rule book) would be better to take someone through escalating.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Optimus Prime]

Perhaps I should sponser "Optimus Prime 9" since he just took my name. Dang it, I was hoping it would last longer before someone copied me.

Luckily no one is going to copy me. (And if someone else, it'll probably be a multi. )

[n8freeman]

is the a rank u need to be to help or anything


cause i want parker, i saw him in free chat he was amusing

[jnd94]

Here is the link to my thread. Im pretty sure these have the same basic ideas, just different names.

[Itrade]

Um, jnd, that isn't what I was thinking of. I didn't mean participating in team games with them, I just meant offering advice in their games and stuff.

Anyway, this idea has been way more successful and needs way more work than I thought, so I'm asking wicked if he can find a mod (or mods) willing to manage this. So hold off your offers to mentor and requests for mentoring right now, 'cause there's probably gonna be a new, mod-run thread soon that's gonna be more organized and stuff.

And:
I am still in the lead! General Monkey has joined another two games and has finally started wondering who I am. I'm gonna link him to the thread and see whether he agrees with it or wants me to stop bugging him (I'm thinking the latter, I re-read my messages and even I think I'm creepy).
