kerrisan Level 13 Bedouin Posts: 108	I'm not sure if this goes here or in suggestions, but eh. I know we have stewards and such, but I wanted to suggest a "welcoming committee" - a group of PMOGers whose job it is to greet noobs and offer their assistance when needed. I know that's expected of all of us, but if you're new to something you have no idea who knows what you want to know about the game. It would be nice if they saw something at least next to a person's name that suggested "here is someone you can trust who has the answers you want," and not just in the forums; all over the game. Maybe that's the job of the stewards, I dunno. by kerrisan 5 months ago \| Permalink
orangerineman Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 554	I think that's pretty much one of the specific responsibilities of the stewards, like you suggested. by orangerineman 5 months ago \| Permalink
kerrisan Level 13 Bedouin Posts: 108	In that case, I suggest that they have the title or something attached to their name at all times. by kerrisan 5 months ago \| Permalink
chetyre Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1262	That it is, although you're also correct kerrisan--nothing's stopping you from helping shoats yourself ;P I'm always happy when I lurk through the forums and see that questions like "how I mine for fish!?" have already been answered by other community members...all in all we're a pretty friendly community I'd say! NINJA EDIT: It already is in the forums and on our profiles. I'm not sure where else they could put it in, or if they have the ability to easily do so. by chetyre 5 months ago \| Permalink
kerrisan Level 13 Bedouin Posts: 108	@chetyre Umm . . . I looked at pixielo's profile before I made my last post and it's not there. :( EDIT: It is on yours though, including a little hat icon. by kerrisan 5 months ago \| Permalink
spottie Level 10 Benefactor Posts: 23	I randomly shower noobs with dp and a welcome. Or what appear to be noobs anyway, ha. Go for it kerrisan! :) by spottie 5 months ago \| Permalink
kerrisan Level 13 Bedouin Posts: 108	So do I, Spottie, which is why I would love a drop-down menu in the recent happenings page so that I can find the noobs and drop 'em DP, a welcome, an invitation to hastle me for info, and random tools that I'm not using much of. by kerrisan 5 months ago \| Permalink
chava Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1788	I also do it, randomly when I'm bored. by chava 5 months ago \| Permalink
chetyre Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1262	You can also use http://pmog.com/users which isn't as cluttered. I find it's easier to see when people sign up there versus trying to scan through the events page. Also, one day there may be an easier way to sort through the events...we'll see. by chetyre 5 months ago \| Permalink
sevenmacaw Level 13 Seer Posts: 256	trundlebot is already set up to gathers new player names. if there's a demand for it, I can set up a way to easily see the newest x members by sevenmacaw 5 months ago \| Permalink
shyiskhar Steward Level 19 Destroyer Posts: 2110	The welcoming committee is us destroyers isn't it? I thought we were meant to fill all new players full of mines? by shyiskhar 5 months ago \| Permalink
salmontickler Steward Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 1428	@kerrisan - As Orangerineman says, that is one of our main roles, I am not sure why Pixielo hasn't got the steward hat, but as far as I know she is still a steward. I check the players section often andsend a little hello message to new players but @sevenmacaw I would love an easier way to make sure I dont miss any, without having to read through my rss feeds from the events page.

neewom Level 9 Bedouin Posts: 62	Dunno, I eventually got on my feet after a while. With the "how-to" missions and tutorials out there it seemed fairly straightforward. @shyiskhar Mines were basically my welcoming committee. Pretty good teachers and therapists, you Destroyers. by neewom 5 months ago \| Permalink
shyiskhar Steward Level 19 Destroyer Posts: 2110	We try Neewom. It's good to be mined. The warm fires in your various body hairs help you through the cold nights... by shyiskhar 5 months ago \| Permalink

chetyre Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1262	Just for the record, Pix does have a hat and the "Steward" note on her page ;P by chetyre 5 months ago \| Permalink
sevenmacaw Level 13 Seer Posts: 256	I also cannot see the hat on pix's profile. by sevenmacaw 5 months ago \| Permalink
sylverling Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1598	I see it! by sylverling 5 months ago \| Permalink
spikeyboy Level 17 Bedouin Posts: 1181	I see no hat! by spikeyboy 5 months ago \| Permalink
sevenmacaw Level 13 Seer Posts: 256	and so began the Hat Wars edit: my working theory is that it is a profile privacy settings glitch. pix appears to have set her motto hidden from wandering huns (or else it's simply empty), and the hat normally shows up next to the motto. by sevenmacaw 5 months ago \| Permalink
shyiskhar Steward Level 19 Destroyer Posts: 2110	/me takes a peek No hat for me. Sylverling = Ally Chetyre = Ally Perhaps this explains it. by shyiskhar 5 months ago \| Permalink
czarchron Steward Level 14 Destroyer Posts: 826	I agree w/ Seven. it must have to do w/ privacy settings oh wait! I found Pixielo's hat. It fits me pretty good don't cha think? by czarchron 5 months ago \| Permalink
pixielo Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 3706	Yeah...I locked my profile down after all my tags were deleted...y'all can't see any of my info now at all... I assure all of you that I am very much still a Steward, no problems with that at all... ; ) by pixielo 5 months ago \| Permalink
czarchron Steward Level 14 Destroyer Posts: 826	okay... well when you can prove it, you can have your hat back ;) by czarchron 5 months ago \| Permalink
chetyre Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1262	Ah, that totally makes sense...I didn't realize that hiding your personal info/motto would also end up hiding the Steward info since it's in the same place... Perhaps I shall send an email to the devs and see if this can be changed. by chetyre 5 months ago \| Permalink
