Title: Captain's signup
Post by: Ataris on April 10, 2013, 05:27:14 pm
I guess it would be much easier to run our event if we have a list of people to participate regularly. Since we have our little official corner on the forum I'll start a thread where volunteers could sign up.

Basically we have two separate training events - USA and EU, probably we'll get more later. Each needs 6 experienced players, a 3v3 game, one coach per ship to tell players about the stuff. Taking a captain spot is preferable, but not a mandatory. For EU training we also need some russian participants, two will be enough i guess. Having anyone on substitutes would be great, too.

If anyone wanna stream this - you are welcome!

We are still a bit messy with the time and dates, but we run it weekly usually 8pm (EST for USA, CET for EU).
The most recent info is in the official Steam group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GOIO_Training).

So... please, ask questions if you have any, sign up if you are ready!

Currently signed:
USA training:
- Shinkurex
- Chrinus
- Sugar Honey
- Plasmarobo
Possible subs: Wazulu, Keon, MasX(?)

EU Training:
- Skrimskraw
- Kyren
- Ataris
- Captain Coldcurse
Possible subs: Wazulu, Mark Abrams, Hubert PIckle, urm

I'd take responsibility to add some names:
EU training: Skrimskraw, Ataris (rus1)

And i'll try to find second russian captain by myself

Good idea putting this here Ataris. We could prolly add a list of current volunteers into the OP if you would like. Might help for organization purposes :)... Let me know if you would like for volunteer for USA training time.

USA training: Shinkurex

I'm glad to participate in trainings, blt I can't warrant regularity. I'll write Ataris 1-2 days before every training to know if I'm needed :) (as I did this time)

Sign me up for all the EU training days. I may be able to do some US ones, but don't count me as a regular.

I can be an irregular for the EU ones, if I'm in-game and you need someone to make-up a training match just give me a shout.
Title: Re: Captain's signup
Post by: Kyren on April 10, 2013, 06:37:04 pm
I'll be a regular for the EU training days. On Monday and Tuesday I've got courses in the evening, on Saturday I'm usually gone as well, but the rest of the time I should be able to help out!

Thanks everyone for volunteering, it's great to see plenty of interest from your side!
Well...the main thing i kindly ask you to keep in mind while posting is that Training days are weekly events, so we definitely need people we can regularly rely on.
If you desire to help but not sure about being regular, i'll sign you as a possible substitute, we are grateful for any help offered.

@Shinkurex

can i sign up as captain?
Title: Re: Captain's signup
Post by: Skrimskraw on April 12, 2013, 05:24:03 am
that depends:

we expect that the vets showing up are dedicating full time to tell new players how the game works.
It's more or less CA work you have to do for 2 hours time.

Message me in-game or on steam (same user name) and if I'm free I'll probably be happy to help. I live in GMT-5/EST; if tonight's 8PM session is in my time zone I should be available.

Post by: Keon on April 12, 2013, 10:35:52 am
Hrrrmmm..

I might be able to help sometimes, put me down as alternate for the USA? I feel bad about not signing up fully but I'm going to forget once in a while.

Put me down to be a US coach.
Title: Re: Captain's signup
Post by: Plasmarobo on July 09, 2013, 03:46:45 pm
In my new CA-ness, I shall be a paragon of things and help with US stuff.
I might not be able to make all of them (classes, work, etc) but I'll def help out when I can.

Post by: Shinkurex on July 09, 2013, 03:56:22 pm
I would like to reiterate here... We are currently working on going solely to Beginner matches for the next Training Days. This should not discourage non-CA members from volunteering to teach. We have the ability to allow you access to these matches. However, it would be ideal to know who will be able to make the event beforehand, to help with the organizing. So. Who is available Tomorrow for either Training times?

Depends on the times. I'm fairly worthless as a pilot, but if you need a non-captain to lend a hand I should be available.
Title: Re: Captain's signup

I will be hosting a training session at 8:30 PM EST

Usually, we would like 1 exp player per boat. Doesn't matter the position. I even step away from the helm sometimes to let the new guys get a feel for it

I would like to be put on as a US captain. Also willing to host matches in Sandbox to help newbies learn more about ships in a less competitive setting.

Post by: Ataris on July 21, 2013, 05:49:54 pm
Stay cool please, things just changed a bit in the last weeks.
I've just checked the Teachers list, you are already signed, so you should be able to join beginners matches as fast as Muse react.
