Help Offered For New VG's

At the recent meeting of Union SG/VG leaders, we discussed a few things we can do to help the community. As well as trying to promote PvP knowledge and make it a bit more fun for the casual players, one of the ideas was to try and help new VG's

So, here is what we have on offer. Each month, some of the bigger VG's out there will take an up and coming VG on as a coalition, in a kind of mentor scheme. At the moment, we have 3 VG's available who are all willing to do this(I suspect we will have a couple more who couldn't make the meeting)

Bloodline
Violators
E.V.I.L

So, if there are any new VG's out there who want to take advantage of this, please post here or contact me in game on @kinslayer.

This really is a good opportunity as you will get:

- An active VG in coalition to help you with teams while your own VG is growing.
- Experienced players you can ask any questions to over coalition
- Also, a lot of these 'mentor' VG's are full so you may get some of the members alts join you for a while and help you recruit while they are alting.

Anymore details you may want to know on some of the other points discussed at the meeting can be found
HERE

We hope to be able to offer something similar on the Hero side but not many heroes came to the meeting so if any hero SG's out there do want to help with this, please get in touch over the Union Leaders channel

Would this include allowed coalition to view your base or not, it would be a good idea if smaller groups had bigger groups as a bit of a role model but with almost all 'big' groups not allowed people permission into their base I dont see them being of any real help. Also you need all your members of your SG to get involved in helping the smaller group, I dont see this being possible in any of the above said groups.

Well, my VG allows all our coalition members entry to our base.

It halps some of our smaller coalitions as we have TP's to all zones and our guys are a pretty helpful bunch.

well, i see no issues with my SG not being helpfull enough. we love to team, and regular team are always more preferred than random clutz's... and yea, most advanced bases are locked, but im sure thats mainly to spite other top-SGs (most of the bigger SGs are Coalitioned with eachother) and im sure that if asked, the leader of various SG will give u a walkthrough of his base (using the team-allowed opition) so that a lesser SG can learn and get tips. (only speaking for myself, but im sure most leaders feel the same way)

the things i see smaller SGs can benefit from is:
1) members get a wider social network, helping u to get info and teams. even to simple questions as what lvl is... and how do i... and is this a good power... i know my SG always use coalition chat 1st hand when trying to get teams/members and avoid broadcasting if possible, so this is a good way to get into theese teams. not saying any smaller SGs have less skilled players, but thoose that are less skilled, can get good game experience and learn a few tricks along the way.

2) members will more easily get info on badges and similar, as they can a) ask through coalition b) be asked to join in on badge-farming teams.
'
3) leaders can get a view of a bigger base and see good/bad examples of building one. this is the way i learned that u could ie change color and lighting in the base, making it less sterile and more cozy/tactical

we all hope that smaller SGs take this oppurtunity, and use our experience and perhaps avoid some of the cracks that we already fell into... and devils henchman (btw new leader of OoR), u could perhaps take on a smaller SG as well, and give it a shot (since OoR is a big SG). Even tho ur new as leader, im sure u got alot of experience regarding the game.. and if u want help with the base, Union Leaders is alwasy open for u (u'll get an invite as sson as i can) and if u want, i can give u a tour of our base i also intend to do an enquiery and see if the new/small SGs actually liked the effort and if they thought they learned anything.. if they all say its no point, or we suck at helping, then we wont anymore lol.. atleast we tried

Okay thats fair enough mate. Yeah were actually re doing the base so it would be good if you would let me take a look at your base design and id allow you to recipricate of course with mine to see if you think its any good or not lol. We have about 9 coalitions at the moment from before I joined and I can see no reason in any of them. We have E.V.I.L but are banned from their base (and I think were set to deny permission anyway!) so thats what I was refering to in the above post about not letting people in. I will be changing ours as soon as I get a chance anyway (didnt mean to sound hypocritical). I think I may rid all of our coalitions bar a few and it you get any small SG's wanting to team up with the view and reasoning of doing the above mentioned scheme then it would give them more of a use for us and us a coalition who actually wanted to be involved and grow with some help. If you get anyone wanting, were always willing.
