If memory serves me correctly, when FPC or MA brought on-line the new New Player Gateway Island and we all got to go there to check it out and make comments. One of the more common comments was " this is great but it would be nice to have real players to ask questions to" . In fact on several occasions I seen ( old ) players helping new players even though FPC/MA had set up several training missions to start New Players on thier journey .
The place really needed a personal hands on touch.
Now FPC has set up a guide program to help bridge the gap. Choosing players that have shown in the past and present thier willingness to help. Thank you FPC and Hanne
The community asked for this the community got this .
Now lets get these new players in and start building the community back to where it used to be.
I'll quote Dude and comment on his post because I know he wont take the piss and get all defensive.
Your points are true Dude, however......
- I still believe that this "guide" program only covers 5% of what is required.
- I still believe that the few chosen to be a part of this program acted beyond their boundaries in this thread BEFORE I even made my first post.
- I still believe that the few chosen to be a part of this program have disgraced a group who's volunteer position is to represent Planet Calypso in a positive manner. (Don't worry about my posts here now... me acting in an unacceptable manner doesn't affect the community in the same way that a representative of the community does when they act in an unacceptable manner.)
- I still believe that due to the gifting that FPC has bestowed upon the "guides" they are under the misconception that they're "special" or at least should be treated differently then others. (I didn't see them attacking those who smack talked Calypto.... Oh wait... he attacked Hanne so he deserved it cuz she's part of the clique).
- I still believe that if Hanne would have (or at least would have been allowed to with out these "guides" jumping in) answered the questions of the community first.... then this thread wouldn't have gotten to where it is now.
In the end, this thread is border line being locked because the wonderful representatives of the community don't know when or how to act responsible and business like. Did ya see Hanne shooting her mouth off at Calypto after all the derogatory things he said about her? NO! Why? Not cus he didn't deserve it.... but because she's acting out in a professional manner because she's representing the community. Just goes to show why MA or FPC don't work with the players on a larger scale..... cuz it always turns into a flame war and those involved aren't capable of rolling with the punches when the sh!t hits the fan.
