Hydra Academy 2.0

- Hydra Academy -

Firebringer Edition

[Most of this is taken from inspiration from Aeronauts old thread, thanks to him]
Aeronaut wrote: Hi everyone!

So I've noticed that there are a good amount of people on this site who want to learn to better their play (myself included), as well as a good amount of people who enjoy helping people to learn to better their play. (If you don't believe me, look at the entire Mafia Discussion forum).

I've seen a few people offer to Hydra with others to show them how they play, for personal improvement and what-have-you. So, I thought it might be a cool idea to make a thread where people (who would like to better their play) can sign up to hydra with a more experienced player (who would like to share their personal techniques)!

Here's an example.
Aeronaut signs up as a learner. He goes into that section of the list below. Mastin is already signed up as a regular player, so Aeronaut gets paired with Mastin, and they join a game together. Aeronaut, the player who wishes to better his play, gets some good knowledge / experience with someone who is willing to give it.



Guidelines

/In as a Learner if:

You want to improve your game and you
specifically want
someone/more experienced player to show you their techniques and better ways of play.

/In as a Teacher/Player if:

You have knowledge to give, and enjoy showing your techniques to others. You want to help someone improve how they play. (Keep in mind, there's no need to be an uber-experienced player for this! Even the newest of players can help someone else out!)

/In as Either/Both if:

You don't mind either way, you just want to hydra with someone and learn more through them, just for fun. Some players like to hydra because it gives a new perspective on playing, rather than better playing in general. Keep in mind, you're more likely to be grouped quicker if you choose this column!


This is to help players who are interested in hydras but are either too shy to ask players or just don't know anyone who would want to hydra or just want to open themselves to hydra with someone they just don't know.

[
Also, advice to anyone is curious about the teacher role, you're not anything like an IC. You're just playing along normally! The player who's there to learn is too, but it will help them massively along the way. Also, it's not as if a new player can't be in the teaching position, or a more experienced player be in the learning position; everyone has different takes on the game, and everyone wants to improve in some way!
]

Other Things To Know (Amendments)1. I will try to update the OP with new Teachers/Learners/Both at least once a week! No promises though.
2. Every Sunday night, I will make pairings! I will then message both players to notify them.
3. You're allowed to be an [advisor], which means you can actually let your partner play the game basically on their own, while you advice from the Hydra PT. You should notify your partner beforehand if you wish to be only an adviser.
4. If you want to be in a constant rotation, let me know! Basically I'll just automatically group you with another person once your current hydra game ends. See: people in the queue with a [C].
5. If a constant teacher/learner/other in the queue's name is in italics, it means they're currently in a game with someone already. They won't be paired up again until they're done with that game.
6. Feel free to request people, either side!
7. It will always be first come, first serve! This means if you end up not getting paired up this week, you'll be sure to be paired up the next week!
8. Please let me know what your hydra name is and what game you're joining whenever possible!
9. I may include surveys for teachers so you can give your opinion on how well the teacher did to improve you!

I am going to wait till we have more people signed up before I do a rotation.
So the 3-4 people signed are going to have to wait.

I would do a rotation if we had more than 5 people in the queue!
We also don't have enough teachers :(

I am totally up for continuing this, but the interest level right now is pretty low.

DRUM UP INTEREST!
