Flow academy system:
Goal:
1-Help newbies in this game with our experience,and knowledge of this game.
2-Those people can become prospects to this clan in the future ,and contribute to this clan.Think about it as a youth academy.
Although,we have requirements,we aren't just recruiting only people with potential to become great at this game,but they will be future Flow members.So to get accepted they must pass the following requirements:
1-Players must be mature,and respect other players.
2-Their might be an age restriction,but the important thing is that they know how to speak English adequately so we can understand each other.
3-Their won't be a belt requirement,but their might be a basic entrance test.The entrance test would consist of first testing this player with the basics of each mod.We can have each member who is specialized in his mod to test him.Of course,we won't be too harsh on the player seeing as he is a beginner.The important thing is that he knows the basics of mods,and to play cleanly,and have the fighting spirit.For example,in Wuhsu it is important not to run,and try to comeback as long as you can.
Another form of entrance test can be making applicants answer a set of questions that we created,of course we shouldn't make the questions too blunt or with obvious answers,or it would be too easy.
The way the academy would run is we may either use irc to meet up with our academy players.Or,we can set up a time,were we create a Flow room,and the applicants would join.Other people can spectate but only academy players and the teachers can play.These encounter wouldn't be too often,but they would happen like 2-3 times every week.
Another way of teaching other players would be through forums,by answering their questions,and teaching some theoretical stuff about the game,not practical like when were actually playing.
Ok,so this is it for now,just a suggestion.
