I understand that the next mentor from the pool would be Glotmorf. How does one request a Mentor?


Mentors are theoretically automatically assigned. I'm not sure that the roster is up-to-date though (especially seeing as Zarpint has recently joined/returned... but then Zarpint may or may not be requiring a mentor, i'm unsure)

which begs some questions. As Zarpint the Incomplete joined as Zarpint the Incomplete, is there still a Lost Soul called Athena, or not? Are there 3 lost souls called The Voice? And do Lost Souls who rejoin (under eir formar name) get mentored or not?


Anyhow, as it happens, your mentor will be assigned at some point, once you are actually a player, which at the moment you aren't;

Technical reasoning here: The clock is off. To become a player you have to post in a public forum, and as per r3, nothing happens in a public forum until the clock turns back on, at which point the following happen in order

1) the ballot results are issued
2) the ballot results are implemented
3) the Pusher Robots prop __For the love of Bob__ is created
4) Sagitta award the Pink Scarf of impeccable style to Zarpint the Incomplete
4) the Pusher Robot modifys eir prop __For the love of Bob__
5) You become a player
6) I give you  point (if I have points)


so, at the moment, you aren't a player, because ntime isn't passing. You may think things are happening, and people may talk about them in the past tense, but they haven't actually occured yet.

you'll get used to this, it happens all the time. The really wierd thing is when you realise that nday 10 is an illusion and that ntime is all out by 1. I treat this a bit like daylight saving time, except without the daylight. or the savings.


Confused yet?
