I've been mulling the idea of a Mentorship program for the Guild as a means of allowing us to recruit new or close to mature players who may not necessarily be able to produce the min. 100K we typically require.
If a member can commit to covering a deficit for a BS or two, and we gain a potential rising star as a result, then what might be the harm?
Of course, we can and should continue to seek out those who can already meet the minimum, but as one of our other members remarked, maybe this program will also help inject a bit of that old passion into the game for those long in the tooth players needing something to maintain their interest.
The conditions for allowing a mentored member to stay are of course demonstrated growth and the ability of the sponsoring Guild member to maintain their pledge.
While I suspect not maintaining a pledge won't be a problem, if it were to become a recurring issue, we would certainly want to look at corrective measures for the member in question. But will only cross that bridge if we come to it.
Perhaps we can use Northern Panther - one of the latest to ask to join - as a test case. Perhaps one of his past Canadian Guild members willing to take him on?
Look forward to your respective thoughts on this.
