Main mentoring duties:
- Set up a thread to recruit players for each new game. Until the next game starts, monitor your thread and keep a list of signups up to date.
- Shepherd players into your game, both by giving detailed instructions (assume very little knowledge of the site!) and by keeping in contact throughout the process so players don't drift away.
- Offer to answer questions, and try to keep the turnaround time low (< 24 hours, ideally < 12 hours).
- Monitor the game, especially for the first few years, for signs of confusion or other problems (e.g., NMRs), and reach out proactively to address it.
- Fill surrenders from our standby vet list.
- At some point during the game, give the players some basic info about online resources, the forum, and the culture of reliability and never giving up.
You are very welcome to do most anything on top of the above (in particular, sharing whatever bits of wisdom you see fit), but those are the core expectations. I'm happy to talk about the processes in more detail if there are any questions!
