Would you be interested in a tutor program?
There was some demand for a poll about this here. This poll is primarily directed towards battle server regulars who rarely battle, and if a tutor program, group, or event would help jumpstart their interest in battling. If not, would something else be more effective at that?

I wanna be tutored in GSC.
|
There are so many great battlers on the server I would really look forward to being tutored by, I am all up for this.
|
I haven't battled OU competitively since Gen. 4, I would be up for a tutor program! :)
|
I think it's definitely one way to boost competitive battling enthusiasm. A more formal system to help ease new players into the metagame too might be more welcoming.
|
I would definitely be interested in a tutor program, I know I'm always up for a bit of learning and possibly a bit of teaching in the future, myself.
|
I think that a tutoring program would be a good idea to draw in new battlers and improve the ones we already have, if we have enough people who are seriously interested in tutoring people. Just don't ask me to tutor people, I'm not good enough to qualify as a tutor.

did sri just say he wants to be tutored? :|
I'm absolutely all for it. |
I'd be all for it, especially if it means getting a head start into competitively battling.
|
as long as people aren't only interested in randbats lol
yeah sure, i don't see why we shouldn't have a tutor program. |
I think the idea is good but the execution has to be there, quite simply this isn't the first time we've attempted the tutor program and the previous trials did not bear any fruit.
|
I think it will have steam to push it at first but will not last long because there are more people willing to be a tutor than willing to be tutored.
Basically the program will be crap, to put it bluntly. |
I'm not sure if I'll be interested in battling once again, but I hope tutoring program will be great and get me started again.

I'm completely fine with a tutor program. However, I don't think PC has the capacity to hold one-on-one tutoring programs at the moment--especially if there turns out to be a large number of tutees. I suppose we could do a "classroom" method wherein one tutor handles a respectable amount of tutees. Still, that's time consuming on the part of the tutor unless he/she manages to get all the tutees on at once, which is a rather difficult feat by itself.

I doubt the program will be a massive hit right off the bat, we'd have to start small. Say 5 tutors (DA, wolf, karp, Anti, Vance) and 5 tutees and have the program run for a duration of time. Then move into another phase and increase the amount of tutors/tutees.

You've got to realize that very few people get into competitive battling because they want to learn how to battle. But a whole lot more get into it just to battle and have fun and they will learn how to battle along the way. The problem is and always will be when people get on and whether anything will be happening when they do get on. A tutoring program isn't going to fix that by itself, and I honestly think it's just going to suffer unless people stick around more. |
As someone who has never even battled in the in-game competition areas, let alone with other players, I'd love to be tutored as a complete beginner to competitive play.

i can benefit from this so yeah, i'll be lookin forward to being tutored .

Despite what others say about it not able to sustain long enough, I wholeheartedly agree that a tutor program would indeed be very useful in order to get more people interested in competitive battling. The way I see things, all tutees wouldn't have to be on the server simultaneously in order to be tutored. A specific one tutor to a specific one tutee ratio is not entirely necessary. Whenever they come on, they can approach any tutor that happens to be on (or wait until they do), and the tutor can then give them tips and strategies regarding whatever they would want to learn about battling. This way, they can learn at their own time and pace without hindering other users. My two cents.

I was scanning through the thread and was about to say that it shouldn't be limited, but Autumn Reverie pretty much nailed everything I was about to suggest.
If it were more open ground, it would be much easier to manage. It should be "log in, catch whichever tutor is online, and ask them" rather than assigning tutors to tutees. From experience, I've found that people who are really interested in getting into competitive battles can have a lot of questions to ask, and will ask as they progress into their comfort zone. It's case by case, though. |
