Nice answers. I agree that I should not bash ideas in US forum and I did appologize for mixing up the forum tags.
Still I do think that every player -> community, impacts my gameplay. Every user on TL market buying, selling, training, buying staff etc. Equation changes with every single transaction.
I will wait your answer in this thread if you like to reply. If I have further questions for the things I misunderstood I will bb-mail you directly. I don't want to litter this thread any more.

You've actually missed the point of this exercise. Regardless of whether its my team or another team, the team being mentored would be doing all of the work.

Researching their opponents, reporting on their team, handling all the training. That would all be done by the team being mentored.

The mentor(s) would simply be guiding the mentee in areas that perhaps they hadn't considered.

For example, I have a very nice 18 year old point guard that is 6' 2" I had hoped that this player would have a use on the u21 team. One of the more experienced managers here in this game pointed out to me that my player has atrocious rebounding. It never occurred to me that a PG would need rebounding. It also never occurred to me that it would take him longer to learn rebounding because he was shorter. The more experienced manager indicated to me that it was a toss up. Do I focus on his PG skills for training, OS, Handling, knowing that as a club player, I really don't need this particular player to have much rebounding. Or do I attempt to tack on a few levels of rebounding to make him a more viable u21 player. It was a choice that I had to make. it wasn't a choice that the more experienced manager got to make for me.

That is a small example of how discussions can help newer managers. Give us a chance to think of things that we would not have otherwise considered. Every once in awhile, those newer managers can come around to think of things too but it helps if you've got some perspective on the impact that it might have on the game.

This is a good idea. So are you offering to be the community mentee?

Sure. Are you offering to be the community mentor?

Count me in. Though I assume that the goal is to have many managers offering their advise and opinions.

I'd also be happy to chip in.

Ice Storm should become a mentee too, and all key decisions will be decided by community vote

I'd probably be more successful when it actually counts. :)

Okay, so tomorrow cuz I'm tired and headed to bed now, I'll write up a little something about my team. Where I think I am, what I think I have been doing, what I think about my league and some ideas of goals.

Additionally, I will post information about my team such as players and their stats, finances, arena info, etc.

If after that, you all feel that my team is too far removed from what a typical newbie team faces, I'll be happy to bow out and let another newbie benefit from the guidance.

Okie doke!
