[url=hhtp://jeffkillian.com/NUMA]Important! MENTORS MUST READ![/url]


ok, so i just had an idea. u know all the people out there in nmaps who r new? they only have 1 or 6 maps? maybe a bunch of z/1/4 snapping with tons of extra pbjects?
well, one person could go on nmaps per one new player, and helpfully criticize and make their maps better. i would create a bar for the siggie of those who join, but i need new user volunteers. also, we need helpers. plz help me, im just trying to make nmaps a better place with better mapmakers.\
THIS IS NOW LED BY RHEKATOU. PLEASE PM HIM, NOT ME.

Anyone applying to mentor should read THIS first.

People I wanna thank:
Rikaninja
Avarin

If you were doing it before - you have just been WIPED.

i will track your progressan pmit to you when i think you have helped for a week or three.
thx

I know I need to update this page, but it is hard on IE8 because the window keeps moving up whenever I type.
The userbar is not available anymore, unless upon rwquest. So far Avarin, Riikaninja, and Me are the only people to have completed the three weeks. HELP Us!
Oh, and I haven't heard from Rika.

ok, so maybe this should be on nmaps sectiion. but it helps the communtiy, so dont change it

come on, i need more peeps than just me. also, i want some of you older n players, like riobe, george, and kablizzy to help

I sometimes do this on my own. I helped out a user by the name of Regal_Legend for a while, but he left after 18 maps. Right now I'm keeping my eye on matonen, who's only got 2 maps.

I do it because I believe the relationship provides something for both the older member and the newer member.

Anyway, if you want to put me down on the record, you can put me down with matonen for now. I'm not sure if he's going to be making any more maps for a while, but if he doesn't, I'll look for someone else.

M-M-M-Me? Lil' old me? Aw, shucks, I'd be glad to. Try not to triple post, just for future reference, but I'll overlook the triple-posting for the compliment. =D

I would be down for formally doing this.

Riobe is nowhere near old.

I do this anyway, but I'm intrigued. I wonder how much you could teach someone about mapping if you focused entirely on them...

If you can organize this well you can sign me up.

I like this guy.

well id sign up but seeing as im not a very good map maker but im not really a noob spammer map-maker then i can't sign up....

well, sorry, i needed to clear things up. also, these were on different days/hours.
i agree with avarin, and that is why i made this thread
also: you dont have to be a super map-maker, just trying to help them. to atob: this is just the start, but i'm hoping to get this organized better. it came out as an idea and seeing i had time to post it, i did

to kablizzy/riobe/anyone who cares
i meant well known.
also: this'd just be nice to get started, and im still looking for someone to help. some new peeps: possibly leosroselli, imakeesylvls, flynfish, etc
i just noticed george copied kablizzy's mmmme? lil old me? note
also: sorry if i triple post, i dont do it for the rank like some people. i just have something to say or an idea and i just add a new post

I like the title you chose: "Adopt a n00b"

Beautiful.

I'd love to join!

Mentoring!

I think this is an awesome idea, blackbelmoral, but I think you may have difficulty organizing it well. Without taking over your project, would you mind if I made a suggestion? The way that I envision this would allow people to use their own initiative to go out and find and select a new mapmaker that they think shows promise/can be helped. They would then post the username of the mapmaker in this thread along with the gist of the advice that they've given and you, blackbelmoral, would put their name along with the name of their noob in the first post of this thread. Add some nice formatting to it and you've got yourself a nice little thing goin' on.

Riobe is nowhere near old.

I joined in April of this year, compared to Kablizzy joining in 04'. O_o

I guess I'll do it.

I joined 05 to 06.

sure i'll do it

with the popularity and # of maps you had on nmaps, i thought you joined a few years ago...
srry, and arent you on userlevels basic? nevermind
anyway, wumbla and riobe, do you have anyone to mentor that i can put down on the list?

I'm not in the basic userlevels because n_1.4vpc was made in 05' (?)...so yeah. I also don't think any or my levels deserve to be in the game's original userlevels.

The number of maps...I used to spam, back when there was a 2 map queue, and I spent a lot of time mapping over summer, and over the weekends nowadays.

And no, I don't have anyone to put on it...

Pick a n00b for me, plz.

Yeah, I don't think we should be picking, I think it should be both ways. Sign up to mentor, sign up to be mentored. Without willing participants both ways, the project will not work. We need a way to recruit people wanting to be mentored, and then we need to match the veterans up with them systematically.

y'see clovis, thats why you ask them, and advertise this... but i totally agree with you
ok, maybe not advertise.
but if you just give advice your helping, and that's what we're doing.
and please dont ask me to pick someone out. find someone you think is interesting and ask them

so very in!
I'll post who I'm mentoring when I find somebody.

Also, I'm thinking a notice on the front page of NUMA advertisin this would get new members needing mentoring involved as well. *hints to ATOB*

I think the title and the fact that you have been chosen kind of hurts the new mapmaker's ego :/
