Jello shooters is actually a multi-purpose channel on Protector, having been originally created to coordinate Hamidon raids.

Having been on Protector almost 6 years now, and having sampled the other servers here and there, I tend to prefer lower population servers where anonymity isn't so easy to hide behind and you get that "everybody knows your name" feeling.

As for population - another vote for Freedom / Virtue for the 2 top spots. If you're into PvP, Freedom is where the action happens now.

When Enrious joined the channel I think he was the first non-Protectorite. Seems like he knows his stuff and was very willing to help out.

Invite to the group sent to you, as for the channel it's a public one so whenever you have room, pop in and I'll OP you (like all mentors).

Whatever server mentors hail from is fine by me really.

Even though Protector initiated this some time ago (not by me, but I was at the right place at the right time to inherit coordinating this great idea), someone had already suggested that other servers could be interested in forming their own New Player Councils and participating / promoting the Mentor Project.

Glad to see the interest from our neighbours.

On Protector, I did do the broadcast and request channel announcements when I was on more regularly. It was also announced directly on the Protector server (where the idea originated) and then in Player Events before Christmas. another round of promotion is bound to come up when I can log back in more regularly.


I think most veterans are looking at this mentoring and thinking the same as you about availability.

But really, if one wants to become a "generic" mentor, only responding in the N P C channel as time permits, that's perfectly fine too. In fact, that's how I'm involved personally right now (no one to one partnerships).

Plus, Virtue would probably require someone more familiar with that server itself, given its penchant for roleplaying. Heck, my son could probably help out too since he's on that server almost as much as on Protector.

Ditto.

Hmmmm.

Hadn't thought of it that way...

I was under the impression this was being suggested to single out PV as an exception, instead of being the official rule in all channels, but yeah - perhaps indicating that there is active moderating going on will be a deciding factor.

With all due respect, you have no clue what my true opinion of JS is.

People were invited to send me a PM to find out exactly why that was, and you never asked. If you got your info from another player, you didn't hear it from the source. If you're basing it off my comments in these forums, then you have a partial understanding at best. Less than 5 people asked me directly.

One of the reasons I left it (the main one) is because I have underage children who use our accounts, and given the nature of some of the topics discussed (drug use, sexual acts described, etc.) there was no way I could, in good conscience, enable my kids to find their way to that.

I'll say it again, my interest in getting Protector Vigilance back up, with Arion Elan and Blazing Blue's help, was to provide another channel centered around server events, team ups, etc. since I had time to devote to it. A channel that was more "appropriate" in nature and respected the CoH Rules of Conduct.

Some, like me, will see it as an alternative to Jello Shooters. Others, unlike me, will say it is a competitive channel to JS - but mistakenly so. I have nothing but good things to say about the core players involved in Jello Shooters.

PV's growth and popularity proves there was interest in such a channel on Protector, one that could be more family-friendly.

Whatever rating you give JS doesn't bother me in the least, since it's not a channel I can frequent anymore. I was merely proposing a rating that reflected realistically some of the conversations I've personally seen. I suggest you ask Rasta what he'd like to do in that matter.


Now, since you've undertaken to maintain this list, I would ask that you remove the PG-13 rating from Protector Vigilance as well, since for all intents and purposes, it is implied (as per the game's Rules of Conduct), stated in the channels MOTD - like JS does, and no other moderated channels listed so far have a rating placed on them.

Thanks.



PS - I don't know why you would, but if you have a beef to settle with me, please take it to PMs. It will be my pleasure to discuss things further with you.

Ah, yes. Misread that, I did.

Thanks for the update River.

...but... If we're going to add ratings for content...

I don't know about you guys, but I would rate JS even higher, at NC-17, if we're using movie ratings as comparison.

The MOTD in the channel, before I left, supported that rating.

We could update the Protector Vigilance entry by removing the exclamation point and using the text in red, above.

Protector Watch is listed twice.

Jello Shooters' entry doesn't mention its adult-level.

AS for the other channels, who could know if they're still active and in use? Ask OPs to confirm?
