With the dearth of mentees, maybe someone should be sending bb mails to new users in order to entice them to play. as of now, i have no canadian mentees.


When I was GM, I used to send out BB-mails to every new Canadian user I accepted offering help. No one ever took me up on it but then again someone was always beating me to the Canadian sign-ups.

What does this mentoree business consist of? Just getting advice on how to advance in a less haphazard fashion?

You get yourself a mentor, and you ask him/her questions. Your mentor ill answer your questions and provide insight on how to progress with a new team.

I'm guessing at some point, we will have a database of information where we will store the general advice from every mentor so that the mentees can see the advice given by others.

jbmcrock has provided some helpful initial advice already. I don't know a lot but from what I can deduce, s/he's probably the person to ask advice from.

I am honored to be placed on this list. For some reason I was considered worthy of it, even though I am myself aware that I did not have time to invest in BB in last season, season and half, which also was visible in my team's evolution

If this is not extremely time consuming and somebody thinks I can help them out with something, I don't have a problem with it, and I will do my best to provide some actual useful tips.

I would love to have a mentor. I am in my second season and am doing well, but some advice never hurt.

Let me know if you are interested in helping me out.

I just want to point out that after a couple of brief exchanges, Frozen Grapes stopped asking questions. So I no longer have a mentee.

HPP,

If you don't have one, I'd be interested in getting some help. I'm just starting my 2nd season and am trying to plot out my longer term strategy. Let me know.

cheers

Sounds good, hit me up with a BB-mail and let me know if you have any questions. I won't have much time over the weekend, but I will try to answer as quickly as possible.

I used the mentor program a couple of seasons ago when Sling gave me some good advice about how to guide my team through the BB maze and I probably should have thanked him again more recently because every piece of advice that he gave me was spot on, so thanks Sling.

I'd now consider myself experienced enough in BB (now in my 6th season) to pick up a mentee or two if anybody out there is looking for some advice. I've been talking to people about training their players during the scouting process for the last draft and hopefully pointed at least a few people in the right direction. So if anybody out there is looking for some direction and HPP and RIP don't have a problem with me being on the Mentor list I'd like to make myself available.

It is not my list... This is something that RIP thought of and implemented all by himself. Just want to give credit where credit is due.
