Sayana's Mentoring Program
Current Mizahar “Apprentices”:
Andral Mydrafi
(1/3)
Current Schedule Notes:
Periodically throughout August I will be away at a family cottage. For the most part I still have internet, but it's limited (to my phone). Generally I will only be away for a few days before/after/during a weekend.
What I can do:
1) Take a look at your CS (character sheet)
2) Give feedback on realism regarding history/race/magic etc.
3) Suggest starter skills/lores for a given character idea
4) Suggest potential jobs for your PC and advise that jobs are crucial for playing solidly in Mizahar
5) Suggest potential starting cities if you’re not sure where to start
6) Answer questions about Mizahar, both questions about IC lore and OOC rules/mechanics. I don’t know everything, but I know a good chunk.
7) Play matchmaker. I know a lot of PCs here and if there happens to be someone who has similar traits or other reasons that might make a good roleplay, I’ll happily refer you to them.
8 ) Point you in the direction for coding / boxcode help
9) Brainstorm some simple plots if you need a ‘first thread’ idea
What I cannot / will not do:
1) I cannot give your CS a checkmark, since I’m not a CS Liaison Staff or a ST (storyteller)
2) Unfortunately, I will not start a new thread with you. I struggle enough to keep on top of all my current plotlines that it’s only on a rare occasion that I’ll have time to accommodate a newbie around the time they join Miz
3) I cannot grant you a job. Only Domain Storytellers (DS’s) and higher can do this.
4) I cannot grant gnosis marks. Start a new thread in the Help Desk (HD) and apply for one that way.
5) I won’t make you a boxcode, however I can point you to templates or someone who does make boxcodes
My strengths:
- I like chatting with new members, I tend to be quite friendly regardless of a player’s experience, I know the Mizahar lore reasonably well, and I’m frequently online
My weaknesses:
- I don’t do well when things pile up (hence a limit of 3 newbies to mentor), I’m not good at waiting for someone who I think has gone inactive, I need my breaks
On with the Posting!
Please feel free to ask questions on this topic, especially if they are reasonably short or questions that might benefit other newbies too. Chatter is welcome too.
For detailed questions and help getting set up (eg. Checking your CS), please ask to become an apprentice/mentee and also include what you would like help with.
This is so that I can limit myself to just 3 people at a time. Once you’re feeling set up, let me know so I can take you off the list and I can help other people.
A Note about Timing
One last thing, if I haven’t gotten a reply from someone for about a week, or they haven’t signed in for a week, then I’ll take their name off my list of apprentices. I just want to focus on new new newbies, to get you settled in.
Similarly, I may skip old requests. If I skip yours, feel free to re-post or PM me saying “Gosh darn Sayana! You skipped me! *shakes fist*”
