A lot of BB's users are young and can't figure it out as well or else they don't want to put in the time. Unfortunately those are also the users who have been warned to stay away from 'strangers' on the Internet so they aren't as easy to help. However I do think if each new user could be given a 'guide' to help them out at the start it could get a lot of new users a better taste of what the game actually is.

I'm not whining, i'm just sharing some thoughts.

It's clear you are an exception because that group of users that we are talking about they never write on forums(check the V spanish divisions, the 95% of the forums are almost dead)

I came here through Hattrick on S3 and during this seasons i always have thought, why we are not a 500k users game if it has the potential to attract such numbers of users or even more?

I think this ia good idea. I think each Country could open a thread where people who want to be guides say so, but are only allowed to become guides if a GM approves of them to avoid any inexperienced or bad guides or just trolls in general. It could really help.

Looks like he isn't that smart after all, haha :p

Also the one problem with having guides I think would be finding people who actually wanted to do it. Mentoring a couple of people isn't so bad, but if you're in a big nation with a lot of people joining every week, it would be a pain to have to explain the simplest things over and over again. There may be some people who would want to do this, but I personally would not want to have to explain a bunch of useless info to people only for them to quit a week later :>/ Why can't people just read?

Yeah I can see that happening, so there could be a very easy way to stop being a guide if you'd like to. Id be up for it :)

Just thought I would make sure everyone knew I was kidding. BB is a complex game and is pretty tough to understand in full. Personally, I found everything I needed in the Game Manual and Guide to BB. Maybe a sort of welcoming committee wouldn't be such a bad idea. Just make yourself available to a new manager give them some links to helpful sources of info. I like the idea of having guides. It wouldn't necessarily have to be that intensive, just provide a few links, maybe answer a few initial questions and be off. I'd be up for that. But it'd have to be designed so that it isn't particularly intensive or guides would get overwhelmed.

@jackstevens I think you mean he was your mentor ;)

@lamchops There's still a lot of questions left to answer but if people just read the damn manual and GM-Rips guide to BB then they will probably have enough knowledge to win in d.5 or any low division in any country easily.
