Suggestion - Welcoming

I know it's kind of early to talk about the "after launch joiners" but I really think we should have someone that welcomes everyone when they log on, perhaps one per village.
We could also have a few GMs that focus on friendliness and teaching the newbies the basics of the game.

This should be in the polls section with choices for this type of GMs

P.S.:
DON'T choose me . I really won't be the best teacher and the most friendly guy ...

Balls to the Manual/GM teachers. USE THE ACADEMY AS A TUTORIAL! You must attend every classroom as to learn the basics of the game....Ranged Attacks, Melee Attacks, Jutsu Attacks etc. Fact is, the community will decide to put aside their own agendas when they feel like it. I'm sure that Moderators or members of Staff will be applied as GM's as to control the behaviour of others and offer assistance if needed. It, otherwise, will be down to the community as a whole to assist newbs when and where they feel like.

If there are that much classes in the academy it really makes this sort of GM unneeded ...

Well this really all depends, as was said the basics are taught in the academy, thats why it's there in the first place, a GM could have a place for players just out of the academy though, explaining where certain places in the village are, maybe the workings of being in a genin team but an npc or just the general community could do the job just as well.

If it's to do with important places in a village. Why not create a Map option? Have an NPC outside the Academy that when spoken to, the map is automatically pulled up and important areas Highlighted. The fact is, a GM is also a games player, and would be playing the game. The only time he would be required to help is if he is recognized by another player and asked a question.

I know that many people would walk straight past the NPCs and ignore the Map/Help/Information button. They do it all the time. They log on and start asking some stupid questions that ARE explained in some form, they would rathter someone give them the info instead of having to find it. I think a real person would be better for it cause the newbie could get all the info they need without bothering the general population and annoying them.

well in the rules add "Talk to the help npc. If you ask question that is explained by him you will be punished!" just to scare people

People wont read the rules, they will just click agree or w.e

oh so it's not just me ... well maybe you could make them pop 10 times at least at one of the 10 times they will stop and read thinking it is an error ?

Lol, make it say
"Runtime error 113
Please refer to the Rules to avoid dumbassness."


We could require a "Password" type thing where at the bottem of the rules it says what to type, but then a ton of people would be stupid and just quit playing cause they think it's password only.
I still think we need a real person to be there for questions.

well if there is real person he will just get pissed because he can't enjoy the game ...

I will offer my services to help anyone with familiarizing themselves with the game.
I also think we should have a GM PAgeing system. Like an "out of character" chat that shows up only for GM's in which people can ask a question to a GM, kind of like a PM to an availible GM. That would make it simple to find the correct answer, if you ask a random player they might tell a wrong answer and then that newbie would be forever tainted.

for GM's and me because I know you guys and mostly I would talk with you

there should be more than one GM. if you want i can go along n be a help guy in the game, like have one for different parts of the game's world

That's what I mentioned earlier. Having one GM in each starting village to direct the newbies.

hey what about a tutorial ? I mean 2 missions for example and without them you can't become genin. And to become a genin we could make it two part :
First part would be test with questions from the tutorial and second part bunshin/henge/whatever begining jutsu
what do you think ?

Great plan, it could work but I fear there will still be people who just try to guess the answers to the Rules questions.

that is why there should be quotes from the tutorial npc's to be sure ;)

Even if the don't decide to make any Paging system or welcoming committy or w.e I'll still be there to welcome the new people of the Hidden Waterfall Village. lol

that is if you're not killed ...

Me....die?
NEVER!!

I really will stand there for like an hour everyday, lol.
Maybe I'll just send a village-wide whisper saying if they need help, ask Scipio, if that'll be possible.

send one that if they need to die to ask hahavis

Only if you're in Waterfall, lol.

I'll be everywhere man
