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.

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. Ask your fellow scientist instead! They will without doubt help you, or kill 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?

A horrible wonderful purple colour to use in the OOC channel.
