oh

There is a group of us that help new people in chat everyday.

After listening to a recent GLB radio show where Esen was helping a new player get started, it got me thinking of some ideas to help newbies get started and be less lost. User-friendly = good.

Item 1: I'm going to make it auto-PM offers to them from D league teams when they create their first player instead of just waiting for them to click contract offers.

Item 2: It's been suggested before, and I want to do it: PM a "getting started" guide to them. Needs to be concise enough to not scare them away, but explain enough of the basics to help them get started.

Anybody want to help out with #2? There could possibly be some FP's in it for you.

I could also use some suggestions for what confused you the most when you got started and how to help remedy that.

Thanks all!

Ask the testers.

okay we need to add this

The first part was implemented as you receive Alerts when you get those initial contract offers.

part 2 is somewhere with injuries and the option to send out a team PM

Well if it hasn't been added or updated, I suppose the FAQ team can add it to our never ending list of things to do. I'm sure the crew that worked on this months ago would pitch in as well.

I believe the old group was Adderfist, Buckeyes33, ksyankeejetfan, nightstar289, Nixx, yabo, Xenetha, and weather999.

Anyways maybe Bort will touch on this later, I believe EllisBell said there was a staff powwow today, I suppose I'll shoot him a PM to see if they haven't met yet and this can be brought up.

If we get something created, I'll make players over and over again until I get it posted in the majority of the d-league forums, best we could do without Bortimus.

Made this couple of seasons ago, so bit out of date, but if anyone wanted to expand on it, thats cool

heh don't worry, Bort and crew are all for us helping out with the little things. I already PM'd EllisBell, we'll see where it goes from there. A simple FAQ team/GLB Guides effort could tackle it.

Ok. I have a spare private forum if anyone is interested...

Yes, and ok, I'll invite you and the FAQ group.

Edit - Oh and Boltz, missed your post.

I would be happy to edit. I am an English professor and understand the value of clarity and brevity in a guide like this. I don't think I have the time to be the primary writer though.
