I suspected there was an experience requirement, but I didn't see it so I thought, no harm in asking.

I don't have you on the roster. Some guide games are posted in Global chat, are you talking about those?

Just out of curiosity, do we have any numbers compiled to show whether or not this program is increasing the retention rate? I have been away from the site for a while and noticed that the percentage of turns completed hasn't changed much

I don't know the actual stats, but BW posted a bunch of stats in the Team forum a few years back.

The guide games did significantly increase the percentage of sign-ups who stick around to play a game. It went from something like 4% to something like 7%. I know, 7% is still pathetic, but it's almost double what it was before. That's a huge jump. I know it seems like a thankless task, when the vast majority don't stay, but you're here for the tiny few that do.

I appreciate your interest, but we need to get some miles on your tires before you can be a guide. Check back after a while.
