Mentoring Pilot Program

[edwinissweet]

i want to be a mentor. im pretty good i guess

i can teach them assasin and age of merchants. or just general startegy stuff

[kalishnikov]

in the most recent list youve got

satanspaladin - freestyle/strategy help (herakiller in a few weeks)

which wouldnt so bad..... IF YOU'D SPELL MY NAME RIGHT!! lol it should be lokisgal, i aint mad though just telling ya

and i will likely pm a mentee sometime soon, prolly after holiday rush is over (post thanksgiving holiday rush, my cousin forces me to get up at 3 am to shop we have a very organized system to get all the hot items lol)

lol, sorry. I only fixed it in the first spot I saw it after you pointed out my first typo, I apologize. I'll fix it in the morning when I update the list as I'm slightly drunk at the moment and it seems a bad idea.

[kalishnikov]

Also, I spoke to geigerm and Telvannia and we are going to begin sometime this week so I'll remove them from the list.

Oh and Rictus, don't fear my friend, our games will also be started in the next few days when the mentee before you and I finish our last game.

If any of you folks are looking to play a strategy game, send me a pm. I have several people who expressed interest in being mentored and the only way I'll be able to get to everyone in a timely manner is if we all play a few games together. All advice and mentoring can be done via pm and privately, I'll just have too many games going on if I start one for each person (not to mention no points left).

Oh and fair warning to any prospective mentors: eventually the mentees start beating you, I lost almost 200 points in 2 games to mentees, lol. Bye bye neat little lieutenant badge...

Looks like I'm a level 3. Right now I am on a huge losing streak. Went from Sergeant to Corporal in no time and I want to stop the bleeding. I suck at freestyle and 1v1. Do well in doubles and sometimes singles sequential with multiple players. I could use some help.

[Visaoni]

I've got Yerbs.

[kalishnikov]

hey, i may be a new player, but i participate in local 1 vs 1 tournaments (real risk) and win most of the time. so i may be new to CC, but i have a lot of experience at real risk so there

If I doubted you had anything to offer, you wouldn't have been included on the list. You have to understand, most of the mentors I've played with or at least heard of/seen around; a new guy is fine, but anyone newer then yourself should be aware of that when he's lookin over the list trying to decide who to pm for mentoring. No offense at all intended by my post or the note by your name, I'll take it away in a week or two, we just have a really, really high rate of people that sign up and don't come back (to CC).

I'm looking for a mentor for basic skills and strategy. Anyone interested in a mentee?

[iamkoolerthanu]

3 - Been here a bit, but need help winning games

Alright, I've played 61 games, yet I've only won 11 games, most of them by pure luck. I play classic maps, seq, usually 4-6 players. I am PMing happy2seeyou in a few moments.

i have taken him on

[Herakilla]

and i am developing a system of pm's that i will send over the period of a several days and assisting in whats best for the player to do in any standard game they want me to help (i dont play, i just tell them what i would do any why) and then i am working on a graduation ceremony, probably pit the player up up against some Xi members who are in my opinion some of the better players on this site lol, they are friendly to new players and are more than willing to be nice. if they can hold up to or beat these guys i will consider the mentoring a success

[rebelman]

[Natewolfman]

Id like to think im slightly above average in the game of risk, i win majority of my 1v1's but i lose alot more then id like... there are times that even when i have a clear starting advantage i lose badly and i would like to know if a experienced player would like to give me some advice, i suppose id be rated a #3 catagory

thank you

[dlmarti]

I could use a mentor, I'm fairly experienced with Risk, but its been a while. I used to play in some of the local tournaments, and won most.

I guess I mostly need help in the CC specific stuff.

[Yahoo oo]

[Herakilla]
