Mentors

One excellent idea developed by the players in one game was to provide all new players with a "mentor" (an experienced player). This is done by dividing up all of the new players by the season that they joined and have four "mentors" who answer any questions and who generally act as Heralds to get the new players integrated as easily and painlessly as possible. Although Heralds can do this, this usually fails to build the "team-spirit" that is needed to keep people in the game. The Mentor System, combined with the Privy Council (players assigned the task of constantly advising the king on each Council members area of specialization), will substantially improve the effectiveness of the royal government.
