927, I might recommend to you that you do not be a mentor, seeing as that you will be busy managing this program/system.  I think that we should go down the list, starting at #1 and hand out newbies to each mentor.  When each mentor gets taken, they are removed from the list and everyone else moves up.  New mentors can be added at the end.  That is my suggestion for how to handle the picking of mentors, seeing as it is a fair way of choosing.

hmm i might take my self out of being a mentor later once we get enough people that it becomes necessary. and im still working on the mechanics of the thing

I was told to post somewhere (here) to make my creation of a Forums account "official" so here I am. If possible, I'd like TimerClock14 to be my "official" mentor. But...yeah. Any help from anyone/anywhere would be greatly appreciated.

PS: My IGN=charskull but my chat is also Xuara

do you remember who told you to post here to make your forum account 'official'?
did timerclock in any way persuade you to post here? or telling you to pick him as mentor?
if thats the case, they're misleading you because nothing is required to make your account official
and it goes against the spirit of guiding newbies when the information given is misleading

I'll have you know that no such misleading has occurred here, on my part at least.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Xuara means: "I was told to post somewhere (it ended up being here)...."

it was actually me who got him to post here and i think i said something lie"post here to make it official" and there was a misunderstanding of what to make official

1 question can you mentor these newbs through kongregate if they have a kongregate account?

hmmm that opens up a whole new level of mentoring...
ill have to think about that that will make this way more complicated and confusing than it already is.

Edit: UBER NINJA i didnt get the warning post thing for it

Ok

A couple of things.

I like simple things. Like really really simple.

I know there is that initial excitement with this project, but we should all just stay calm and think for a second. After some careful planning, the execution part will be a breeze.

First, the other topic needs to go (I'm going to get rid of it). There's no reason to have multiple topics in different forum sections for a very simple thing like signing up. It's logical to have both Newbies and Mentors sign up on this same topic. No point in having others to use a different topic.

Second thing is the clock. It makes no sense. There should be steps you need to complete, after which the Newbie graduates. Having some kind of ticking time bomb that reminds the Newbie when we will get dumped is not a good idea.

Lastly referring to these new players as "noobs" looks bad. Some players will take it as an insult, and might not join. It most definitely doesn't give the warm fuzzy feeling of being welcomed. It could be that even the word "Newbie" is too much, and we should go with "Apprentice" or something.

Since this project is becoming "official", one option would of course be to let Council to some of the design process. They don't currently have anything big to work of, so this would be good I think.

apprentice sounds good too, but if you're looking for "warm and fuzzy" I'd suggest a name like FooFooCuddlyPoops
