SB. Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) All of the scum (mentors and mentees) should be able to talk with each other imo, they can still do it regardless using the other players as couriers and playing scum as a newbie is harder than playing town, so they might need more help. Mentors should get 1-3 posts a day depending on how long it lasts, imo. Edited May 15, 2014 by SB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 i'm pretty sure the last time some kind of training mafia happened i rolled scum (this was my literal first game forever ago), got copped n0 by manix/eclipse because my mentor was paperblade and died instantly SO YEAH VALUE IN HAVING MENTORS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhaltz Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 It's pretty much common sense that mentors shouldn't be posting in thread unless absolutely necessary (and I don't even see when this would be the case), you want mentors to be giving advice to the newer players about the many aspects of the game and not playing the game for them. I think everything should be fine if people don't force themselves upon the trainees just for the sake of the win. When it comes to scumhunting tips I'd say use general advice without delving into game-specific territory to avoid giving them cases etc. Also avoid having the mentor claim in place of the trainee.

euklyd Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) The information of which mentee has who as a mentor will be public, correct? Also agreed with Vhaltz; I'm really not seeing a situation in which the mentor posting would be needed.

euklyd Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Your missing word really messed up that sentence. Does public knowledge of mentors help, or hurt play? :< I'd say it probably won't (or shouldn't) matter, since it's not like the mentor should be telling the mentee what to do, so it's not like you could say "Oh, Blyvern is playing to Paperblade's scum meta; ##vote: Blyvern" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think the only time a mentor should post in-thread is if their mentee disappears off of the face of the Earth or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Oh hey, you stole my thing because I'm lazy. Great, now I can justify my laziness. ^_^ I'll sign up as a mentor if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors should get 1-3 posts a day depending on how long it lasts, imo. 1 post/24 hours seems like a good rule of thumb. (although I agree that the mentor ideally shouldn't post, I haven't done something like this before so fuck if I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedoom Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well if mentors are not allowed to post we should make them anonymous since that's a better idea and people won't do stuff that Euk said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euklyd Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Oh right, PST here. Well if mentors are not allowed to post we should make them anonymous since that's a better idea and people won't do stuff that Euk said. imo if someone actually did that it'd mean that their mentor was WAY too involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Also, I'd say mentors being able to post occasionally is a good thing. As an example, at least. Just no more than 3 posts per phase or so (with discretion requested regarding things like Eurywalls :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitsuki Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Training Mafia The game where everyone secretly wants to be mentor so bad but don't express it. I'd actually love to join as a trainee, it would be amazing to have someone to give me advice and to learn from. I wouldn't like to be a mentor. Not like I qualify as any of those things, anyways.
