Mentor-Mentee Program Info/Sign-ups

<h3>The Mentor-Mentee Program: What it is</h3> This program is designed to help mafia players of all experience levels improve their knowledge and skill-set through the guidance of mentors. Mentors are chosen by moderators as players who have a deeper understanding of the game and are willing to share that with others. As a mentee, you will work with a mentor or mentors at your desired pace and times.

<h3>Mentees: How to sign up</h3> If you are interested in joining the new mentor-mentee program as a mentee, please post here and we will add you to our mentor spreadsheet and be in touch with you soon. We would like to be as accommodating as possible so giving us an idea of your particular wants from this program and any particular preferences (including mentor choice) is completely welcome. Here is a format you can use to post: <br><br> Main username:<br> Type of mentorship: [basic, intermediate, advanced] -Basic is for generally newer players<br> Availability:<br> Additional notes:<br> <br> Once a mentor-mentee pairing is approved, you'll receive another PM and you'll be able to begin working things out with your mentor. If you cannot post in this topic, PM one of the mentors as linked here.

<h3>How it works</h3> The basic program introduces players to mafia through Classic Mafia, a standard and simple mafia setup. Here, you will be introduced to terminology such as "lylo," "mylo", "bussing", "lurking", "fos", etc., and their definitions. We will explain the basic mechanics of a game, as well as answer any site/game/tactics questions you have. Here is an example of a basic training session game. Once you feel comfortable with basic aspects of the site and game, we recommend playing some on your own (you can of course feel free to ask the mentors for anything). If you desire more from the program, we will set you up with a personal mentor for more advanced training!

The advanced program is based on mentor oversight in ranked and unranked games. The site administrator implemented a function that allows a mentor to see his or her mentee's role without directly participating in the game. They will be able to share their thoughts and give guidance to their mentees. Mentees may also opt to play competitive games with their mentors and debrief when it's over (mentors cannot under any circumstance treat you any differently than any other player in a ranked game). Flexibility is encouraged to accommodate your needs and you can expect this from your mentor.

There is no 100% systematic way to get better at mafia, so I will stress that you communicate with your mentor(s) and accurately express your thoughts and needs. All feedback is appreciated.

<h3>Questions, concerns, or suggestions?</h3>

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions feel free to message mangofruit, beccaecca, me, or one of the mentors as linked here. You will also get an answer posting in this thread and we encourage your public feedback and suggestions.

I saw that, Giga. I'm just saying because this is the wrong thread to apply for being a mentor so I thought he may be interested in becoming a mentee because he looked at this thread.

Availability: 3pm - 12am (I'm on practically all day)
Additional notes: I love helping others out, I'd love to be a mentor because I introduce a lot of my friends to this website and it'd be cool to be able to mentor them and get more people interested in EM. I'm great at classic/multi which are probably the most played setups in training as well.. I feel as if those setups are great for newbies. I'd also like to improve myself while helping others.

Mentee Application
Main username: omgitscedo
Type: Intermediate/Advanced
Availability: 1pm - 5pm ish, 1am - 5am EST.
Additional Notes: I've been playing forum Mafia for about two years now. I understand a lot of the mechanics and the logical processes. I'd like to understand setups, ranked and comp setups. I think I need work on scumhunting, some aspects. Oh and I'm also a terrible Mafia. I've rolled Mafia like twice in a forum game so when I rolled Mafia here I was like... confused. I also suck at counting.
