One of the ideas that sprung up late last year was the concept of mentors in DE. These are folks who have the patience and experience to offer a helping hand to those who clearly are new to role-play. With the latest push for RP etiquette education in DE, I came up with an improved solution to add to Fae's original idea.

We will create an official mentors group, run by Faerie, to add those who are interested in helping out newcomers. If these mentors are on the sim, they will show up on a list of "available" mentors on a web page we'll have on the site. Everytime someone submits an their registration and is invited to the RP group, they will have an IM sent to them with the URL. This way, should anyone need help finding information or questions about RP, can IM the mentors who are available and on the sim to assist.

I've gotten the first mini-guide on "RP Etiquette" completed in both note and web format (http://deadend.sl/guide). If you have ideas on other helpful tips that would be useful for newcomers, please respond here 🙂

Thanks!
