Concept/Proposal: Coach

March 24, 2011 4:41:06 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Hi folks,

here is a proposal I have for you: be a coach

Here is how it works:

  • identify 8 newbies
  • identify 8 coaches

 

the coaches are going to train the newbies for 1 month. 2 weeks. Playing from time to time with them, commenting on replays etc...

at the end of the two weeks we hold a tournament between the newbies

the winner takes 50 usd. 25 usd goes to the newbie and 25 usd to the coach.

i am happy to sponsor the 50 usd for this.

 

Now, i do also have something to help, this is a feature we just released on jeelounge which is called Coaching. It basically allow to manage that process. I am making a tutorial and will share sortly.

taht said with out without that jeelounge feature i am till happy to sponsor this if any newbie/coachis interested.

we may need to do a small evaluation of the newbies at the beginning so that there is no cheating.

i'd suggest the newbie to be already "well known"newbies. No new account accepted in this ^^

 

what do you say?

I always liked anything similar to this idea even without any tourneys, prizes.

Taking some player and playing with him more often (sort of a premade team) is fun, no matter how player plays bad, because you see his development in skills and you are a part of this development. Especially fun is when he defeats his own teacher

Creating a great opponent for yourself is the best prize one could get [e digicons]'[/e]

I like the idea, but you think we can find that many newbies that will play for 1 month? Dedication is usually only found by the players that play this game forever.

Yeah... Out of all newbies I've played/trained with now playing are... hmm... zero, I think... And I've trained at least 20 for various amount of time...

There are some new players now also, but... usually they play in private and don't allow anyone in (thanks to those players who kick everyone out), so you rarely can see them out in the field. Another thing is that if they don't speak English at least decently... they won't understand/bother to understand you to get better.

Good noobs (not children, who don't understand anything you tell them or even if understand act some other way) are so rare these days...

I like this idea, sign me up! I will also be coaching Zen_God 

But yeah jokes aside - I'll be happy to teach Erebus/Oak/Rook/TB/UB mechanics and builds to anyone, as long as they are willing to listen and learn.

Thanks for sponsoring the idea and tourney; Will it be a 1v1 tourney between the newbies? How about a master/apprentice 2v2? Maybe one round of each per bracket?

There would be no way to verify that it isnt a smurf account so this kind of tourney is improbable.  But yes we need more skilled palyers.

I don't see the point of good players smurfing in this .. unless they really want 25$

Well... an easier approach would be to get newbies to respond here, then each of us could take 1 and train them up.  So far we have bigdogbigfeet.

heya. after writing this i thought: hum... we actually need 2 noobs per coach as we better get 2v2s that 1v1s.

there are other variation of that which are possible eg 2 newbie coached by 2 coaches or 1 newbie + 1 coach playing in the tourney etc...

 

I think there are actually few newbies there but they are intimidated to get in any games with any of you guys (or myself)

I know i personnaly havent been very gentle with newbies ^^

But newbies are very important for a game.

I have been playing Unreal 2004 recently and there is a big problem with that game nowadays which is that 90+% of players are very skilled so people like me get killed badly, Not fun. I am ooking for other newbies but just cant find them ^^

anyway, i am happy to support any structure you guys would agree on.

Yeah - I'm not too sure we could make this happen, but I'm game.  I think 1 person per coach would be a better start though.  I get that it will be a team of 2 noobs in the end, but probably best to train up 1 person then graduate to coaching them in a 2v2... my opinion anyway.

Hello!

I like this idea. I'm not sure if I should consider myself a newbie but I'm quite certain that I lack of multiplayer experience; so I could use some trainning

Well, i could participate in this too.. I do it every day anyways even ppl leave my games cause they are afraid to play with a noob in their teams.. Practicing with some new guy makes u realize all the mistakes u do.. and of course u need to put all ur experience to win a tough match...

Well i could help with some builds but, since i am ot that experienced with all the demigods, I could really coach on oak, and sedna builds if any new guys want.

shall we do what pacov suggested and try to get more 'newbs' to post on this thread if they are interested.

if you see newbs online then direct them here?

 

Not sure if it would work as well but not much we have to lose in trying, i think...

Shift + tab when you are joined to Internet in game. There go to friends, add friend and write the name. Then after some time you will have him in a list and can pm him
