Well, I've had this idea for a few months, but have been too busy to post it. It's just what the title says, Adopt A Newbie! This will be a thread dedicated to getting newer players involved into the matching/clan scene.
I figure clans who would like to help out with this project can post here, as well as any newer players looking for a clan/training. If every active clan took on one newbie, that would start growing the scene. If you are really up for a challenge, you may take 2 newbies on. We'll see how the turnout is.
Due to language barriers, time zones, etc. I will be assigning newbies to clans that are fit for them.
So if you are a leader of a clan or a new player to this game, fill out an app and I'll try to match you with the best clan/newbie for you.
If you're clan dies, or changes, post here letting me know. If you decide you don't want to help the newbie anymore, I also need to know to re-assign them.
I am now requiring clan leaders and newbies that partake in this program to use IRC.
I do have an IRC channel made for this, it is #newbie_adoption

Good idea! Once my internet is fixed I'll take up someone as well

a very good clan
<pist>razan44

I hope I don't insult anyone by saying this, but in your position I would reconsider Skadoosh's offer to get you a good clan. I suggest to look for a clan that is at least using mIrc, so you also get to know the rest of the community.

Thanks for the reply btw, I will contact you in a personal message to set you up with your new clan :)
-
Mr.Irish, I just searched your clan name and clan tag, none of which showed results and nor did your name. So either you're a really new player yourself who just plays in public servers with a unregistered tag infront of your name, OR you're trolling the thread. So either you should be the one getting adopted or you don't belong in this thread.

How does your clan keep in touch if you don't use IRC or voice chat?
-
We use it but it's not required some members use Vent I dont i use Mirc to find a match or get servers i use it to its minimum
-
(1) If you don't require one or the other (or even xfire or aim/yahoo/msn/gtalk/icq/etc), I don't see how you can have much consistent interaction outside the game, and that's what makes a clan.
(2) In case you aren't aware, mIRC is just one of the many programs that allow you to access IRC servers. IRC is the name of the technology, and mIRC is just one way to use it.
(3) You "use it to its minimum"? Is there any reason you don't use it more? I mean, IRC is where the clan scene is at, and if you're not there, you won't be taken seriously. (Well, I should rephrase; even some that are on IRC aren't taken seriously. ;D )
-
Paint.clown/Honer, you have filled out both a newbie application as well as a clan willing to help application. Which were you looking to take part of?
If you were applying as a newbie, I don't think you meet the criteria. 2 years is more experienced than what this program is looking for.
As for the clan, I'm sorry but we are looking to set newbies up with more stable teams. I am only judging by your clan's creation date. Also this is more about teaching, not finding people a simple clan.
I'm not sure why I have the option about using IRC, because I want any and all of the people participating in this program to use it. It is crucial for the serious matching scene and community.
-

Wouldn't matching clans prefer that? Somebody who already understands strafing and shooting, just isn't that great at it. So then it's helping them improve and teaching them how to match etc.. (since most of the matching scene players don't have the time to actually teach somebody how to strafe, and those are the people who can truly help people). And looking at his player ID, he hasn't played 2 years. (This is by no means saying to change how you're doing it, but it's still adopting a newbie whether he's a bit of a longer playing newbie or not).
-
I suppose he could be an acceptable newbie (providing he answer the rest of the newbie questions on the application). The problem is where do I draw the line at where a player is not right for this program? I can't treat everyone as a newbie, as you might have seen the joke posts of older, experienced players in this thread.
-
What about making this program a little bit more "legit". Getting it more advertised or maybe make a section for it (whether in forums or making an actual page for it, or something of the kind). Many people don't check the forums and this might be taken as a joke. If this had it's own sub-forum or page maybe Rico and a couple other people could Admin it by themselves
(Feel free to delete this post if you clean up the thread)

Why deny anyone? There are different clans at different skill levels. This would be a great place to sign individuals up for teams regardless of skill levels. I've been playing for a looooooong time and still consider myself a newbie compared to most of the matching scene. I have bounced around and learned stuff from an assortment of players over the years. Just hanging out with the current members of College Court has helped me a bit. Sunday night I pubbed with audio and darkness for quite awhile. I spent this time just watching different jumps and techniques they use. It helps.

+1 for idias' idea.

There should be a new section on the main page for newbs. How about a link to that page on the Terms of Agreement page. We could be guides here to be readily available to the new players.

I'm not the average newbie I have gaming experience in many games such as urban terror, crossfire, counterstrike and ive played alittle bit of quake planet.
-
I notice quite the amount of people are not willing to get a microphone or mIRC. For a new player to gain more experience and become better I strongly suggest to get both. IRC is important for finding matches or locating players who are not in game. A microphone is also important for recon purposes for matching. Having voice recon is a great advantage for your team if the other team has to type.
