Mentor/Mentee Sign-up & Info Thread

>Remade because the application thread was deleted, and I felt merging the two into one thread would be a good idea --- As per the original thread linked here: https://epicmafia.com/topic/56035

The Mentor-Mentee Program: What it is 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. Mentees: How to sign up 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.

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 here: https://epicmafia.com/moderator

How it works 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. 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.

> Applying to be a Mentor Please PM this to thebrontosaurus or any one of the active mentors listed here: https://epicmafia.com/moderator - If you have previously applied before the creation of this thread, there is no need to re-apply. We have your application on file. We add mentors on an as needed basis and will get in contact with you if there is an opening.

Basic Level Mentoring is for new players who are trying to learn basic strategy and technique, understanding common training lobby setups as well as become more familiar with the site and mafia in general.

Intermediate Level Mentoring is for players who are interested in learning some of the more advanced roles and setups that are commonly used in Competitive play in both Training and Comp Lobbies. By this point, you’ll have a firm grasp on the basics and are interested in learning many popular competitive setups, strategies and techniques.

Advanced Level Mentoring is for players who are experienced in many common competitive setups and are looking to zero-in on specific skills and strategies and trying to improve their gameplay at a high level. Think of advanced mentoring as taking an independent study course at a university, focusing on what you’d like to work on with a mentor to guide you and help you reach your goal.

All mentor applications are archived, and when we need new ones, we look through all of them and try to find the best candidates to become new mentors. Do not worry! We read through them and keep them :P

Today and tomorrow, I will be giving everybody a mentor who does not already have one. :)


Giga, if you don't mind me asking directly, I'm active, been here a long while, and I want to help EMers. I applied days ago. Can I be a mentor?


I only add mentors when I need them, however if you have applied then I will definitely look over your application the next time we need mentors. Thank you!


Thanks I appreciate it.

I am proud to announce that everyone who has signed up for a mentor now has one! Thank you all so much! Without you guys, we wouldn't have the program to begin with. I look forward to working with all of you and I hope you all have a great time learning about the wonderful game of Mafia with your mentors!
