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!

That's more or less the exact idea, Demon:). Only difference is that I will be doing the assigning based on time zones, and then everyone else can take it from there:). Always open for suggestions, constructive criticsm and poo.:)

I'm up for it, the Big Brother system. How about like, the ops take the newbies, then take our list, look at our time zones and tell us the guys we should help out. Then we arrange a time with them. That would open up the classes for ja newbies and could be replaced with new ones. Just a thought of course, your the head of this Mune. But, add me to the list.

So, when do they have time?:P

Btw, when reading the previous posts, I saw some people included their gmt
Anyway, mine is +1, and I can be online whenever you want me too be online, so I'm fine with just about anyone, except with someone that is online when I am asleep:)
