Ambassadors of Alterra - First Draft Of Constitution

[Onaraasider]

I really like this program, but people are going to have to realize all those who want to be a member also have to take on the challenges. I realized how frustrating it can be to explain to new players in detail on how to do the quests for Halloween event after attempting it last night. New players aren't familiar with the interface or the maps. Thus, you have to spoon feed them. Sure, it's fun after the first few, but I'm anxious to know who will actually have the energy to do it as a daily task. I have tried to do it, it's definitely tough work and you have to learn to keep your calm.


I also noticed some qualities that people are going to need. For example:

-Patience
-Clear and Understandable English
-Grammar! No short abbreviations, as it can confuse the new players.
-More grammar, being able to give help not only emphasizes on information but also on the effectiveness to transmit knowledge.
-Time
-Level Headedness. If a new player just isn't getting it, you can't explode on them. (I remember how difficult that was! LOL)


Just a few thoughts

Keep trying u will b able to not explode. I stopped exploding a while ago and now start to give tour every once in a while to allow them to know where everything is most(as cascade said) will ignore me even if I tell them how to talk and u know they r new by the way they just wander around aimlessly.

Yeah, but instead of attending to those, wouldn't it make more sense to attend to the ones who seem to be asking questions? Those are the players that are likely to make a commitment and possibly become prominent members of the community.

Haha I have plenty of time cuz I'm home schooled usually finish school before noon every day.



Edit: Like Apollo said, If players ask questions that means they are willing to learn meaning they will most likely love Pocket Legends a become a long term player!

Is your home schooling working fine for high school? If you plan to apply to UC colleges, make sure the homeschooling you get is A-G accredited, or it will be hard to get into UC Colleges, which are some of the top in the US. PM me if you have any questions regarding that.

Thanks for the offer Apollo!

How do you apply to be a aoa

[blox]

How do you apply to be a aoa

they choose whos gets to be aoa, they watch for people who helps others

[NECROREAPER]

Were currently working on the admittance process, when it gets finalized you'll hear about it


And simply helping others will not guarantee you a spot as an AoA

[Barrington]

one does not simply walk into mordor

like wise

one does not simply apply to be an aoa

Don't necropost.

[Redbridge]

Don't necropost.

Hey skel.... Could you try to be a little more supportive to newer forum members when ur answering?

The person above you has very few posts and we can assume they don't even know what necro posting is or even why it's important to try not to.

You've made no attempt to explain why or even to address the content of their post.

We ALL need to try to be more welcoming to newer forum members, and try to explain in more detail if they are still finding their feet here on the forums....

Thanks in advance buddy, PM me if ya want more info.

I'm gonna double post now...... To separate the two answers....

Hey Ace, firstly thanks for showing an interest in helping out the newer players in PL. Helping out newer players is a vital part of what makes the PL community so enjoyable.

The AoA (Ambassadors of Alterra) programme is run by both STS ( the game developers) and the current AoA's. Entry to the programme is by selection only by both the current AoA's and STS. The final process is currently being finalised but essentially you need to get out there and help the newer players, keep standards high and most importantly ADD to each players gaming experience. Which basically means not being in their face and trying too hard, or shouting every 10 seconds in Forest Haven 'Any One Need Help?'. You need to seek out opportunities to assist new players, by looking at their stats, builds, gear and playing styles. Offer small amount of advice and back off if it's not needed. And, another important factor is being considerate of the more experienced players, many of whom won't want your assistance or appreciate any spam messages offering help to everyone in a town or map.

Hopefully this gives you some guidance to get you started.... It takes some time to get noticed so keep helping out and I'm sure you'll be a great help to the community.

Watch out for a post over the next few weeks about how to put your name forward, but in the meantime feel free to PM me if you need any further assistance or PM any of the AoA's (or Pandar, the dev overseeing the AoA programme) who will be glad to answer any further questions you might have.

Good Luck with it all....
