i've gotten a pm from millertime17. will do my best to point him in the right direction........

Aerial Attack · Post by **Aerial Attack** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 12:21 pm

I guess you can add me to the list.

Here are my qualifications:

1) I lose a LOT

2) I'm a sergeant for crying out loud.

3) I play lots of 1 v 1 [LUCK]

4) My doubles teammates carry me

Here's what I'm willing to do:

1) Look at up to 10 games and provide initial thoughts

2) Update thoughts every 3 days for 2 weeks

NOTE: I can't help Freestyle players

Peaceful Warrior · Post by **Peaceful Warrior** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 3:51 am

Interesting program

I think I would like to do a little bit of both.

I usually specialize in the Classic map... under any settings.

So as a mentoree I am most certainly a 4, I'm looking for a top player that will be able to point out small mistakes and be able to keep up with strategy debate.

As a mentor I am about a 3. I usually prefer playing against people at a similar or higher level than I am... Just look at my game history to confirm. I am quite confident that I can help any player willing to try get above the 1000 get a basic understanding of the game... so long as they have a sense of humour. ^_^

I would really appreciate a mentor. I am new at the game. Thank you to anyone willing to take me under their wing. Im a fast learner and will make you proud!

My first mentoring session went fairly well until he deadbeated all his games...

Anyway, I've learned quite a bit from that little teaching session and would be willing to mentor again.

I'm NOT a top player, nor do I have a high rank; but I'm fairly good strategy-wise and would be happy to help a new player learn the basics of the game. I'd rate myself a level 3, maybe 4 as a mentor.

I play most any settings except freestyle but specialize in No Cards or Flat Rate. If you'd like some tips/advice to improve your game, send me a pm.

I need a mentor...
I would say I am a level 1 or 3
I knew nothing about the game when joinging this site, have played many games yet have not won yet. I understnad how the site works and I think I am figuring out the game but any help would be great!!!

ThePatMeister · Post by **ThePatMeister** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 3:40 pm

I would love a mentor to help me out, but it seems like there is quite a queue already, so i wouldn't presume on getting any help any time soon. I would probably be at about level 3; I've only played a couple of games, but i have played the board game, know the rules, and can navigate the website, i just need strategy advice. Also, i do not have a premium account (just in case not having one would present a difficulty in some way)
If any experienced players could help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.

Herakilla · Post by **Herakilla** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 1:51 pm

I usually don't play with high ranked players., it is a different game altogether; so it would be cool to have someone show me the ropes. Needless to say, I should be able to pick it up easily.

Also, having many points doesn't actually mean I am a good player. IMHO, it only means that I am good at collecting points by playing settings on which I maximise my chances of doing so.

and having lots of point doesnt mean good player. Xi is mostly corporals and sargeants with a captain or two but i consider them all forces to be reckoned

I could use some mentoring.

I'm probably a weak level 3

I have played almost 40 games and could use some tips on strategy.

No hurry if there is a long list
