Who are the Mentors?
If you have a question or problem with RPing, the Mentors will be able to help you (or at least know the correct place to direct you). NOTE: The Mentors are primarily focused on the Diplomacy category of the Nationstates Forums, excluding NS Sports. General Assembly, Security Council, and F7 RPing are not part of the Mentors' repertoire by default, so in regards to those forums, Mentors will vary greatly in their familiarity and knowledge. The program is primarily for help in the Nationstates, Factbook and National Information, Global Economics and Trade, and International Incidents subforums.
How Do I Apply for Mentors?
The Mentors have a significant backlog of applicants. We want to keep the numbers low for now so that we don't overflow the II and GE&T community with too many Mentors, since not only does that become a drain on the site's administration (since I'm sure Reploid is getting sick of adding and removing Mentors), but also too many teal names does little other than reinforces a surface-level 'for the looks' mentality that people may have problems with. As a result, much of the Mentor numbers will ebb and flow based upon whether they're stretched for more people or whether there's a particularly bad case of widespread 'poor' RPing present.
If you wish to apply for Mentorship, please send a telegram to any of the existing Mentors (listed above), and we will get to your application whenever we are in need of more Mentors.
Happy RPing. Please keep all debate on the Mentor program itself out of this thread, it would be much appreciated.
