Kane,.. I'm not trying to discourage your idea, and by all means we need to encourage players to better their skills.  I was just pointing out that it's not always as easy as it sounds.
My casual game on my board once it was established it's not win or loose, has been a great success, and remains one of the more active games.  I can't say for sure, but if an experienced player were to jump in there, and show someone or a few the ropes in there I'm sure they might love it.  I don't play my board, so I don't have that opportunity.  Feel free if you would like.
 

heh anything around TW now a days isnt easy. I wasnt looking for that. Im thinking something more along the lines of a month or two playing with the person then haveing a tourny of sorts. I'm not sure how to people would get together. I dotn think a casual game would be the way to go, maybe to get the contacts ups. To me i see it as, you get the two people together, they play together and learn how eachother plays, mostly to see what the newwer players know, then after a month or two, we have a tourny of sorts. kinda like the end of camp bash.

But hell like i said, maybe it is just a dumb idea, atleast thats what cerne says so it must be true.

Actually Kane, that is one of the key concepts of TradeWars Academy.  Get with Thrawn and/or Oso.  They have a special server geared towards training and Thrawn has a list of more experienced players that are willing to help newer players learn the ropes.

I had heard about the Thrawn Oso training server and I am interested in that one as soon as I get the basics down again. But, you can never have too much of a good thing, like places new people can go to learn about the game teamed with vets that can teach them some things. So Kane, I think your newbie/vet training game would be an excellent idea and I hope you go for it.   When I got into the game I would have loved to find something like Tradewars Academy or the training game like what you're talking about Kane. Just my 2 cents, probably not even worth that much, heh

It's not a dumb idea, it's something that is needed.  If we come up with a game plan now, maybe we can implement something in the fall when the game starts picking up again.  If we don't plan it out, it might never happen.

Was there a post deleted? Who said it was a dumb idea? Also go take a look around the TWA and you will see that there is a plan. Or did I miss something?

Cerne

Yeah you missed something.

anyhue Ok lets make a plan. first thing i see is getting the good/exp. players to step up.
