Ruuk's original statements...




"Several days ago, I suggested an idea _tenatively_ called "JA Big Brother/Big Sister." The idea is to help new students.

This post is a location where you can sign up.

If you need more info on this program, read below. In a separate thread I stated the following:

"5. BETTER INTRODUCTION INTO JA FOR NEW STUDENTS.

This is already being worked on, but I think it could be better. The new students are now being sent, with their acceptance letter, a hyperlink to the Holocron. Inside this thing is a tremendous amount of information that would be VERY useful to the newbie prior to getting on the forums and online. However, I have another idea. Why don't we have a sort of big brother/big sister program started? Each newbie could be assigned to an active, willing JA member for a couple days...at least to just get their feet wet. They don't have to remain hooked up forever...like I said, maybe just a few days. We could add a post where people could volunteer to do this, and the upper management could rotate the new peeps in among the volunteers. ALSO: we've been concerned about the number of new people coming into the JA. I don't think this will be a problem. The new game will bring 'em back in. And how. SO...I suggest we use this new BB/BS program as a recruiting tool. As a way to "calm pre-newbie fears" about joining JA. Meaning, some people (laugh if you must!) are too shy to try entering something like what we have here. If we put up on our site that we have this as our standard operating procedure, we may bring in more peeps that need hand-holding. Once they get in here, we rip 'em apart, but until then...JUST KIDDING!

Well, it's really all just a waiting game at the moment. I just need to talk to DJ about the new section of the site coming (unless things have changed... *shrug*) that will pretty much show us who's new.

So, more than likely, at least since the disappearance of Khalek:(, I will probably need someone to help me assign. Of course, time will tell;).

and I would like to add that in the next following weeks, I'll have lots of time on my hands, so if you encounter someone from Belgium, or from Europe or whatever, I'll be more than happy to show them around, show them the ropes, and help them as much as I can.

Just not thursday and friday, since I'll be going on a school trip then;)

I recommend all new guys and gals to try out this system. It was this way that I met Cossyc, one of my best friends here at JA, for instance. :)

And it's GMT +2 for me Mune, you crazy Staff-member. :D

Well, this is really more of a thing to break people into the JA as opposed from tutoring. People on the servers (I'm sure) would be glad to teach you some stuff:).
