Froststahr Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Some of you should already be familiar with this. Kind of like adminhelp, however the PMs are also sent to players who can respond to mentorhelp messages, but otherwise have no power. Not quite sure how mentors should be selected, possibly a part of the forums for posting applications? Or admins approach people in-game?

Sheakhan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 You mean exactly like OOC, only useless when designated "mentors" are offline? Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/635-mentorhelp/#findComment-3045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froststahr Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Basically, yeah. To keep OOC from being filled with people asking for help. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/635-mentorhelp/#findComment-3046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigercat2000 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 IMO, Mentorhelp just causes confusion between what request should go where. With only adminhelp or OOC, you know which place to request different types of info.

Malkaz Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Maybe a rank of Mentor? No special treatment or anything, just a different color to the name of the mentors so the new guys will recognize who to ask any doubts.

Moiz Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Well, Instead of Mentor. Call it Helpers, or Regular players. You can apply to become one, but you would need a requirement of two weeks or more playtime etc. They can then ask questions and you answer them.

Earthdivine Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 MentorHelp is on goon and from what i understand they have applicants for that i believe. The way they handle it over there is MentorHelp is stuff that would best be summed up as "check the wiki" but in finer detail, allowing the AdminHelps to focus on people greifing, running events, and finding and working on bugs.

Roland410 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 We should fund this! Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/635-mentorhelp/#findComment-3103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taaketa Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 MentorHelp is on goon and from what i understand they have applicants for that i believe.

I'm gonna be honest this sounds good. I'd actually like the idea of a Mentor being able to volunteer for ghosting on a round instead. I don't know how many times now I've seen a new player and thought "I've been there." and OOCed at the end of the round to say, get the same job again. I'll help you. But they always miss it Although I have 10 Karma so I must be doing something right.

Scrat Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I have to agree with Mentorhelp also. It can avoid clogging adminhelp at times where actual issues that require admins are seen easier, and questions such as "How do I do X as Y" can be directed to people who volunteer to answer them.

Froststahr Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 To deal with the confusion they could just have it display upon either joining, or a round-start, saying, for example. Just a quick message on mentorhelp, adminhelp, and OOC. Mentor-help is reserved for asking about game mechanics, how to do things, etc. Admin-help is used to ask admins questions about game rules, or to get help when somebody is breaking a rule. OOC is for discussing things not-related to the current round, be it the previous round, or about your favorite hobby of toe-nail maintenance.
