No Noob Left Behind
I wanted to ask if there was interest in forming an adopt a noobie program, where veteran players teach and work with people who want to learn how to play tribes. Adopter's show them the ropes and give them advice on how to play this game with a high learning curve.
If you're interested in adopting or want to be adopted, please post here or send your request privately via private message (PM).
For the record, I'd like to work with at least 2 players at one time, I've done this before with at least 10 players.

Strictly only if they wish to play arena or classic though.
Pretty much this. Fact is, despite it being around for years, absolutely zero skilled players (or even players who know what they're doing) came out of servers like HV - not even in regards to vehicles.
How can you teach people the game when you likely don't know much to begin with?
By the way, count me in. Any new players who want to learn PM me, I'm willing to teach what I know. I may not measure up to some peoples "standards" here, but I know I at least have enough experience to play the game and have fun doing it.
Seriously though, a good few basics can be learned just by playing the training missions. To me an effective Adopt-a-Newbie initiative would take "I've played the missions, but now what?" players and show them things they don't teach you in training, like mine-discing (as much as some people are reported to dislike it) or how the SJ, Cloak packs and motion sensors and cameras all work together.
I'll definitely teach people about pubbing and some fun things. Otherwise, pwning in tribes 2 boils down to experience.
I'd say adopt me if I could play. Hopefully the program doesn't lose funding.

I can take one or both of you or just one person if you'd like, please let me know.
Any other people looking to learn from scratch or just refresh their memories please ignore the self important idiots and post your interest level.

Come on TWL for all that eskill you cant figure out that basic concept? Are you suffering an Achilles complex?
About what time do you usually get on to play tribes? I'm in the Central time zone.

I guess it would be great for me to have a teacher-like someone, cause usually I just can't find my place ingame. I haven't been playing for too long, so don't expect much ::)

I can't see many people in there willing to train noobs, I honestly think this would work better. And I hope you were excluding me when you made such a general statement as "teach a new player more than everyone in your group combined".
Freshlysqueezed msg me with your available times.
The difference is that if someone in #lastgasp isn't good at something, they'll refer you to someone that is good at it, instead of trying to justify their own bad habits.
Yknow in most forums it's considered the point of having moderators to ban the people that can't stop insulting and demeaning everyone else rather than just enabling their behavior and letting them continue to drive off new people with their unending trolling and flaming.
Say on-topic. :P
