In contrast, you can add me to this list if you like. I like teaching people. :)

Besides, since all of these games are for 0 points, I can't see how it's a free farm tool. The whole point of it is so that you can answer their questions, explain site features and the like. :P

00:34:22 ‹LiveLoveTeach› I doubt it

my bad for the points, but you aren't teaching here anything

not sure how is this setup, but there aren't any questions, mostly missed turns

The setup is pretty simple. A new user has the option to join a quick game with a veteran player, for no points, just experience. If they choose to play such a game, the system looks for registered Guides who are online and active, and sends a pm to the first one it finds.

Our theory is that many players sign up and disappear because they didn't find something to do right away, so we try to make an opportunity for that. We don't know yet whether this is accurate, or if it's the best way to remedy the situation, but we're gathering data and we'll analyze it after we get a good sized sample.

Sign me up to the list, I join games with new recruits from time to time only to have them completely miss their 24 hour turns. I'd love to try to keep some around with a much quicker game that does not involve points (in case they manage to beat meh >:D lol)

EDIT: I am old around here, if I can't teach them something... it'll be quite saddening XD

done.

Keep in mind that this is less about teaching than it is just playing a quick game. If they start asking questions, fire away, but don't unload on them until they ask. Just be friendly.

This does not seem to be working so far, I think I've only had 2 full games with people, most of them either take a turn then leave or leave before even trying it.

I need to resign. I barely have time for completing my own games. I want to help, but as it is, I am doing nothing.
Thanks.

Got you added. FYI the Guide program is on pause at the moment, while we make some adjustments to the system. We'll send out updates when things get started again.
