Mentorhelp
Mentorhelp is a way for new players to ask experienced players questions about game mechanics, round spoiling, or antagonist related questions. Mentors were either approved for Head of Security, or proved themselves reliable enough not to act on information gained from mentorhelps.
What can I ask about?
You can ask about anything from how to cast a spell to how to absorb people as a changeling to how you inject a patient with life-saving drugs.
(Asking how to do something and getting a reply doesn't mean that it's OK to do it. For example, don't release the singularity if you're not a traitor!)
What can't I ask about?
"Please make me a Alien/Monkey/Traitor/Wizard/AI/Borg" Etc. We are not admins. We do not get any special abilities for doing this. It's basically slavery! Also, asking admins for things like this will probably get you gibbed.
"Who/where is the traitor/changeling/bad guy?" We aren't going to tell you! If you're an antagonist, feel free to ask for help with being one, but if you're trying to hunt the antagonist down we aren't going to tell you who or what they are, even if we know. We might give you tips on effective ways to track one down, but any specific info is for you to find out yourself.
"A traitor/changeling/asshole is killing me, can you guys come to the kitchen and kill him?" Nope! Now, if you want to know an effective way to fight back, we might help you out, but Mentors aren't going to physically show up and help you brain a guy with a blunt object. Nor are we capable of banning them or anything like that. Mentorhelp is for information only. The only time you're going to have a Mentor physically help you with something is if you ask a question like "How do I set up the Engine?" and a Mentor happens to be an Engineer who is standing right next to you, when they might just show you how to do it right there. Mentors will tell you how to do something, they won't actually do it for you.
"How do I make bombs/poison?" Questions about things like bombmaking and chemistry recipes may or may not be answered. Figuring out these things yourself is a lot more fun than asking a person over the internet about it, plus it can get a little complicated to guide people through the process of making a bomb. Feel free to try, though. You may be lucky and get a Mentor with nothing better to do to walk you through the process. If no Mentors feel like explaining something complicated, try asking your fellow scientists instead! They might even help you.
What do these Mentor people see?
What mentors see is dependent on whether or not the mentor is dead or alive.
If the mentor is alive, it will only show up as "Anonymous", like this:
MENTORHELP: Anonymous: I really enjoy bacon and eggs, what about you guys?
If the mentor is dead, it will show both your name and BYOND key like this:
MENTORHELP: NitrousProGamer/(Sham Poo): Where do i find the bridge?
What do mentors get in return for helping people?
Horrible Wonderful purple text when they talk in the OOC channel.
