After my previous blog post on tips to bring your wspace group
up to snuff. I caused quite the hub bub (not really) in my alliance. People
asked the alliance leader if the member corps would be ‘required’ to implement
my suggested changes.
The alliance leader, said very clearly, NO. All changes
would be viewed as optional and it would be business as usual. … sigh…
This new information came on the heels of me listening to a
podcast that had Kira Tsukimoto on it. She was talking about how she was
creating a new corp with the very specific goal to training newbies in a class
like structure.
I thought to myself, why am I attempting to force people to
learn ways to improve, if they don’t actually want to learn? My time could be
better used teaching newbies useful
things before they get to this stage. So I said my goodbyes and thanks for all
the fish.
I started up a convo with Kira and asked if she was looking
for a new W-space PVP teacher with a high patience threshold. She agreed. So
here I am.
This is the great thing about EVE, you can reinvent yourself
at a drop of a hat. What’s important is you are playing and not complaining. No one wants bitter around them, so pick up stakes and do something different.
Nova Haven!
First I want to say, I really like the attitude of all the
people involved so far. They have this really great vision of what they are
going to do. The enthusiasm displayed so far is slightly intimidating . Like some guy asked a question in our help channel and I would say that everyone in our corp
instantly answered it and then attacked him with helpful tips.
Right now I’m spending my days in voice coms talking to new
people on how to scan, best practices for wormhole travel and seeking out more
newbies.(that's harder to do than you might guess)
I’m going to build a class like structure, where I’ll take a
small group of newbies and do some high sec diving. Have them all in a fleet
spreading across low sec and high sec looking for holes. When they find a
target, we will all ship up and bring the newbie heat.
When we find a juicy hole to grind some sigs/anoms we will
do it as a fleet from high sec.
Instead of just doing the job for them, I’ll be teaching
them how to do it themselves as a purely consulting role. Possibly handing out
ships to these guys and walking them through how to do sites and kill people.
You may see more guide type posts coming up because I’m this
teaching kick as of late, no idea why.
Recruitment offering.
If you are a newbie/returning player or just want to learn
something new, not sure on how to do wormhole thing, check us out. If you know
someone who might want to try EVE and you just don’t got time to train them the
basics, send them our way.
You can find us in "Nova Haven Help" channel.
Any chance of your lectures becoming available to the public? Would love to listen to those.
