My schedule has freed up a bit, so I'm willing to come back as a Guide again if you still need people.

Once I graduate from SoC, I think this is something I am willing to try.

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
I would like to participate in the welcoming of new players. (I do not know if I meet the '100 games completed' prerequisite, as most of my games are bot games and do not show in my Games Completed statistic.) I have accepted 2 Guide Game requests through Global Chat. So far none of the new recruits have played a turn.
I have 2 questions:
* Could I join the Society of [Super]Guides?
* I currently have 1 Casual speed Guide Game and 3 non-Guide Games, and when I try to start a Bot Game I am informed: You cannot have more than 4 active games at once. I thought I read that Guide Games were not supposed to count towards my 4 allowed games?

I'm not sure how that will work out. I've added you, so we will find out soon enough.

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
Hey, so I just ended up doing one of these games, and I was a bit confused about what I was doing/what was expected of me. I ended up dropping a few tips and pointing them towards the forums, but going in I had no idea what I was doing, only that I was playing against new recruits. I'd like to suggest a popup box of dialogue, similar to what happens when you get a game alert, explaining what you're supposed to do. Possibly even some tips for us.
I also hope there is something in place that keeps members with a low rating out of these games, especially since I just returned from a long hiatus from this site.

I would enjoy being a guide but I won't be on the site for 6 months until later this month. Just getting ready to take my SOC Academy exam games and made LT only 2 days ago. bobbythomson
Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
If you are still looking for Guides I would be interested in being one! Thanks!

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
We'd be happy to have you both. I'll set it up.
You'll get invites for speed games by pm, and the site will auto-join you to casual games.
Good attitudes and helpful tips are 99% of it.

How do I get my name on the tally sheet of games participated in? I also want to note that in my first speed game neither the recruit nor the other guide showed up. A complete no show I guess you would say.

Thanks dhallmeyer!!! Had my first pm game already and a no show I sent him a pm as I could not write on his wall to tell him the game had started and he never read my pm so he missed three straight turns. I will keep working!

Sadly, that is not atypical. Many people sign up and look around for a few minutes and decide the site is not for them. As Guides, we try to catch some and show them around. Don't take it personally.
