First off, lilomar is correct in that newbies cannot be assigned mentors
who are already mentors; the only players eligible to be mentors are
those who are not already mentors. Thus, the sentence in the rules "If
no Mentor is available when a request for a Mentor is made, or no Mentor
is available to become a Newbie's Mentor, that Newbie gains 5 Points."
must indeed trigger on every request for a Mentor, because no Mentor
would be available.

However, note that this does not happen automatically upon the newbie
becoming a player, but only on request. Thus, if a newbie never makes a
request, the gain of 5 points does not necessarily happen. I judge CFI
119 FALSE.

This also works the other way, too; if a newbie makes more than one
request for a mentor, they gain 5 points for /each request/ (I see
nothing in the rules that prevents multiple requests). Why do you think
I made 200 requests for a mentor when I registered?
