Question about the mentoring

over 10 years

I haven't really seen the mentor program being used all that much, and I thought of maybe implementing the mentoring into account creation. Right now I don't see much going on with the mentorship program because it isn't that heavily advertised, but if it were an option at the account creation, they wouldn't be able to ignore it, right?

I have no coding knowledge so I don't know how possible this is, but the process would go like this:

someone creates an account --> during the account creation process, it asks "are you a returning player?" if yes --> regular account creation, if no --> "would you like to enter into a mentorship program where an experienced player would help you become familiar with strategies, vocab, etc?"

then they would automatically be shuffled into the mentorship program where they would be randomly assigned one of the mentors who specialize in beginners. Then once they fit the criteria they would be shifted into the intermediate, and then advanced, and then released into the world ready to win competitions!!!

Let me know what you think guys, I've sent it to various people in positions of power but the community's opinion is important too!

Should this be implemented?

maybe instead of automatically appointing them a mentor, bring them to the mentor thread or a wiki page outlining the mentor program during the account creation process

Eh it's not great in terms of training- just him playing games.

If we could get a vid like "Meet the Cop" made for the most common roles on EM, that would be sweet.


That would be cool briefly explaining terms and role. If players still didn't understand the they could join the program

tutorials are easy enough to make if you have a good recording system (such as camtasia 7)


LOL

"That guy's lurking. We should lynch him"

"Yeah personally I don't like lurkers etc."

"Wait I'm the doc!"

"OMG why would you claim! You moron! OMG so dumb!"

Summarises every single game with a doc in it.

IN FACT, I will PM bronto and Nikki to make an announcement linking these videos again, because they are too good to be forgotten.

How many new players are going to go to youtube to play Em though.


WATCH THESE, they are what remains from EM's glory days

None, unless we spread word of the quality of the contents of these videos. They're quite informative and utterly hilarious. "HE'STHESCUM, no, HE'STHESCUM".

True, but what kind of tutorials are we looking at? Videos? Diagrams? A game against bots?

Some of these are hard to code/do and idk if lucid would be willing to do anything past the wiki official


We could start with a well written document.
