*Adopt a Newbie* Newbie Society

Hi guys!

This idea has been in the pipeline for a few months now and finally I'm proud to present to you...

The *Adopt a Newbie* Foundation's own Newbie Society!

The idea is that newbies who have successfully applied for ANF and been added to the list are able (but not forced) to join this society while waiting to be adopted. We have observed that some newbies who make it to the list and aren't adopted very shortly afterwards, often stray away from Entropia and sometimes don't come back. Having a society should keep them active for the necessary time for them to become adopted. If not, at least they'll have a society until they find their own!

The name of the society is simply *Adopt a Newbie* Foundation so if you see any of those guys in-world, say hi and be kind!

There are three overseers in this society:

Daoxin Littlesamourai LeZen - Society Founder and Overseer.
bananamoon mickey mouse - Society Overseer and Advisor.
lours lours barbarian - Society Overseer and Advisor.

All of whom are friends of mine and have taken the role of maintaining the newbie society. Their role will be to ensure the newbies are informed where necessary and hold them together as a group, perhaps by organising small events such as TP runs when things get rolling. The fact that a society is in place will mean that the newbies can chat among themselves and learn from each other, so the overseers won't have such an intensive job (or so we hope!).

Newbies! To apply for the society:

1. Find and use a Society Terminal. They can be located in almost any ShopContainer where you would find an Auctioneer, Trade Terminal, Storage, Repair Terminal and Manufacturing Terminals.

2. Search for "*Adopt a Newbie*" and you will find the society.

3. Put in an Application to join the society, making sure you mention my name, Dalas.

4. Wait for one of the society overseers to accept you.

5. Enjoy your new company!

Our good friend Tass has made us a nice picture-tutorial on how to do this here: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/wiki/Joining_a_Society#How_to_apply_for_membership_in_a_Society

If you have any questions, please ask!


Let's wish these guys all the best with their new duty, and happy times with the newbies!

Thanks guys

 

Original post edited to include instructions for newbies to join. Previously I was PMing them to groups of newbies who joined on the list, but now I can link them to this thread :)

 

Great stuff there Mike! That's nice to see :) I hope you enjoy your time there.

Remember it's a growing society so you will most likely play a part in keeping the other newbies interested and active.

Keep having fun and keep going.
