Suggestion [staff] Guide Specialization

[GoofyyGhoul]

I just became a guide a few days ago and I was a guide once before. I was recently looking through the wiki and I was looking at how some staff have specialization a like for instance how hilltims is guides and I was thinking, what if guides had specialization a based on social skills and how they react to certain situations and how well the preform? Just a thought haha

From what I've gathered the specializations aren't really "official"
Sure Lightning Acts as head Architect, but in reality all the Admins and Kain are in charge.
Tim might be the exception because he was S.Guide before mod, but usually the specializations just mean they like that area and try to take care of it (Like Jonsoon, there is no Economist position, but he likes managing the economy so he deals with suggestions for it)

One of the staff can correct me if I'm horribly wrong.

If you wanted to you could pick a Guiding field and be know for that area. Though guides in general want to be able cover a lot of areas due to not knowing who else might be on/what questions get asked.

What kind of specializations did you have in mind for Guides? Minimike hit the nail on the head though, Guides should be pretty well rounded with game knowledge and should treat players with the same respect and care they would like to receive.

haha well now that mike explains it, it makes more since since guides need to know pretty much everything haha

 

[GoofyyGhoul]

But like the ones who are more active and more helpful have like a people specialization or something haha XD

The only categories I could even see would be:
Vanilla Mechanics
Herocraft Mechanics
Player Interaction (General questions about pretty much anything, or just talking to and helping players get started)

Even then, Guides want to be able to do all 3 of those, seeing as H chat is for basically any question.

Yea haha. It was just a thought. I didn't really think it through very much haha. I was bored in class and was like, hey! Lol

Just thought this would be a good time to remind @Admins to promote the recently accepted guides incase they missed tin'so tag
