       NOTE: If Cheesie seems to be a bit short or even a tad
       insulting, don't let him fool you. He's not a bad guy.  :pimp:
       He could, however, use a decent spellchecker ...
       :tongue:
       ON TOPIC: Agree that the Meeter & Greeter doesn't need to be a
       great tanker. Just someone very personable and with enough skill
       to not scare off the new folks.
       Trainers, however, should be really, really good at certain
       classes of tanks. (Fifstreet for lights, Oxi for mediums, etc.).

       Honestly  rev
       We need to just break the ice and make sure they understand the
       basics.
       I am not sure we need to spend a lot of time on advanced
       training.
       I serve on staff as a trainer for our boy scout council and
       folks need the basics to get going they may come back at some
       point for more and there are some things best left up to
       personal discovery
       If down the road there is clan war or ladder platoon battles we
       will need more but I do like you line of thinking

       Couldn't agree with you more!!!  The lack of "Basic Trainer's"
       is why we are here discussing this... No being a critic, just
       pointing out the obvious...
       We just need to get more volunteers and follow the same lesson
       plan as a clan...
       The rest is easy...

       I was surprised that when I joined it was up to me to figure out
       to get to the forum, add folks in XBL, find people to platoon
       with... in my mind coming in, I had it quite the opposite.

       In a lot of ways, these are conversations we should have been
       having a while ago.....
       As far as trainers, as has been mentioned, there also should be
       trainers for tiers as well as classes.  Beginning tactics are
       very different than advanced higher tier tactics.

       I gotta agree with flip here. I have struggled sometimes to get
       a platoon game partly because the initial friends list I worked
       on are mostly from the US (far far away) and also due to ignored
       invite requests. Is there an etiquette/procedure I am missing or
       does nobody want to be my friend :sad: :palm:
       If a list of greeters was available for each time zone it would
       help. They would provide the initial info and then you could
       move onto trainers if necessary all the while expanding the list
       of people you tank with. Obviously the greeters would have to
       keep some friend slots free.
       On another note my tanking has improved since joining up. Thank
       you OFF.

       I know we have members in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New
       Zealnd, and even Singapore!  So we should certainly be able to
       cover it all. :-)
       BTW: Where do you live? Guessing U.K.ish?

       advantages of the MM mechanics.
       4. What is this "side-scrapping"?
       •
       •
       Practical Exercise:  Best taught by identifying good “spots” on
       the map to practice this skill. Emphasis should be on having the
       player try this concept on their own, and perfect it on their
       own.
       5. Joining Parties, in game communication.

       •
       last round”
       Practical Exercise:  Trainer to encourage the evaluation of
       Premium Tanks and premium time, while recognizing neither is
       necessary for effective tanking.

       Explain, no matter what, this clan is about having fun and
       helping each other be better tankers.
       Also, point out our “stars”.  “People who are specialists and
       can help you learn to play that tank”
       End of Line:
       Okay,
       Here is the first salvo... :shades:
       Opinions, ideas and everything except grammar corrections
       appreciated! :harm:
