  __Mentorship__

  A newbie is any player who has been playing for less than two
nweeks.

  A mentor is a player assigned to help out a newbie.  The newbie that
they are mentoring is known as a mentee.

  The mentor pool is a set of active players none of whom are newbies
or mentors.

  Any player who could be part of the mentor pool, but is not can
become part of the mentor pool by saying that they wish to join the
mentor pool in a public forum.

  Any player who is part of the mentor pool may cease to be part of
the mentor pool by announcing that they wish to leave it in a public
forum.

  When a mentor's mentee ceases to be a newbie then the mentor ceases
to be a mentor and rejoins the mentor pool.

  If at any point the mentor pool is non-empty and there exists at
least one newbie who isn't a mentee then the player who has been in
the mentor pool for the longest time without a break becomes the
mentor for the newbie who has been a player for the least length of
time.

  If there exist newbies who are not mentees and the mentor pool is
empty then players are encouraged to join the mentor pool.

  Newbies are encouraged to ask eir mentor about anything relevant
to the game, and eir mentor is encouraged to give useful advice to
eir mentee.

  At the end of eir period of being a mentor, if eir mentee has not
left the game or gone on Forced Leave, then a mentor receives 5 points
for being a mentor.  If eir mentee has a positive number of points and
no Debt then the mentor receives another 5 points.
