Mentorship Program! APPLY FOR STUDENT NOW!

Overview

Spoiler

With the introduction of thousands of new players due to the humble bundle and with the likelihood of further promotion it's become apparent that something has to be done to ease the player's transition into the world of KAG.

In the spirit of that I have devised a mentorship program. It's goals are simple:

• To improve the skills of newer players
• To foster bonds in the community by giving newer players the opportunity to learn with more experienced players
• To encourage meta evolution by bring the newer player into the fold as quickly as possible
• To improve the retention rate of KAG by easing players passed the first few weeks (Where people often get discouraged and quit)

How it all works:

The program will work around two week cycles. Every two weeks a new round of students will be selected from the waitlist. The students will be paired with a mentor (And some mentors may opt to teach more than one student). For the next cycle the student and mentor will arrange times to meet. In these meetings the mentor plays practice games and teaches the students the finer points of KAG. After those two weeks the student "graduates" and a new set of students is chosen. Ideally at least 2 one hour sessions will occur a week. A student can then reapply to the mentorship program at any time afterwards.

Hopefully the student will learn:

How to play KAG.

If you have any further questions or comments feel free to post them here.



Yes, as you might have noticed, this isn't my idea from the beginning. It comes from another game and it has been a great success and it's great fun to be a mentor. I've heard people complaining about the community so if we could pull this off we could show them that we are a nice and welcoming community.

To apply you just have to tell us your region. ANYONE can be a student.

This sounds like a great idea! Sign me up as mentor ;)

 

Sounds interesting. Maybe me? I'm not sure. usually I can play more than 1 hour on Saturdays and Sundays.
Sure. Why not?

 

MEDIC 2.0 hue
Sign me up as mentor yo

@Pizza become my student pls

 

Anyone can become a student.

 

I've played this shit game for longer as you, didn't I? I suck at it while drunk, but I'm moderately ok otherwise. Better take a new guy who really needs your help more as I do, I'm not looking into getting better at KAG anymore, those fundays were like a year ago for me already, I just don't really care anymore. You must train those newbies so I can Luigistorm them in gather, k?

If anyone wants to play with retarded Luigi, that's perfectly possible though. Just IRC ping me, I warn you, I am awesome stupid. I can also test your students in their ability to refrain from internet raging.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's making people mad.

 

ok , can I become a student ? :p I want @StarskyGianni to teach me if possible . I used to play classic for 2 years using another account (that got deleted for unknown reasons) but I am kinda new to beta , well 6 months playing it didn't make me better anyway :p .Starsky knows me and knows my "weird" halarious playstyle that's why I would really appreciate if he could help me get better in playing KAG.
PS: I know all the basics but I need someone to train me as a knight , also I had never played as an archer before so if someone wants to train me as archer , I have to say that it will take some time... actually a lot of time...
Thanks in advance

 

I would like to sign up under both roles.

 

I was kidding, I do not want you to become my student, I'd prefer you to stay at this level.
Luigi has always been the secondary character, right?

Ye that's quite true.

 

I'm itching to be a mentor but something deeper tells me I shouldn't
the good name of kag is at stake

 

Hey, kag skills is one thing

Being awesome is way better

Letse go!

 

@TheDirtySwine has already took it upon himself to teach new players to be shitters (isn't this what the tutorial in kag is for though?)

 

Ok, we got our first pair!

You can start today or you can wait until next week, your choice. Just tell me what you choose!

 

Lol, I was joking about being a student :p.

 

Ok. Jokes of that kind are not appreciated.

 

well , I can't start from today or tomorrow (because I've got a lot of school tests those days ) but starting from Wednesday I will be free .
@StarskyGianni you are the teacher , so you can choose anytime you want (starting from Wednesday ofc) I wish we will have a funny training together :p , and thanks for your help

 

I wouldn't mind being mentor.

 

Nice! Are you from the US region?
