Implement occasional "training" event for specific roles

Hey there fellow spessmen and fellow spesswomen. 

 

What, why and how.

 

As discussed beforehand on the OOC of the Aurora, a rather humble idea of mine has erected that roles who are inserted midgame and some antags (such as ERT as example or antags if that is, ghost roles basically) should have at extended rounds "training". Please note that word "training" represents rather a placeholder but it's the closest I can get. Could be boot camp, could be testplay, name is up to admins I guess.

EDIT : Note that these events should take place away from Aurora, to avoid disrupting the standard flow of the extended gamemode. Potentially on centcomm

 

This even should be announced via discord beforehand and on the begginging of the round.

It should be pre-planned event at least round before or couple hours before the event hits the fan.

 

The core purpose would be to allow players of all knowledge and skills to enable themselves to have a full hands on experience on the equipment, environment, climate and be ready, confident to depart on aurora having the know-how on how to play the role without downloading the entire code and running local just so they can learn the role.

 

Tons of players spawn barren of knowledge into these roles, delivering poor performance, because they are still figuring out what to do.

 

Now the thing is that if you spawn as a scientist on Aurora, you can relax and allow yourself to try things out and see how it works for you, then get into the cycle. I believe same climate needs to be provided for roles that don't work on Aurora by default. Such as syndi commando, Mainly ERT, wizard, ninja and so on. Those with most equipment and things to work through should be taken priority.

 

That is all I believe. Have a beautiful day please.

This is what AOOC, ahelps, and  - to a degree- the forums/discord servers are for.

If people want help, they can ask and be given it. The main issue is that often people don't ask and therefor get stuck. In which case the issue is really on them.

Now I see your point here and your comment makes sense, people should ahelp more, that is without notion.

 

However in my perspective this is not the core of the issue here. This is all theory, it's the same basis as of talking about how to drive a car, but once you sit inside, things become different. As mentioned above, the core purpose is a hands on experience. I played ERT once and even despite I took considerable amount of time to research, I jumped in and took some time to look around, where is what, how things function, in which that took me about 20 minutes to figure out just because I've never been to that place. It's always better face to face, get the knowledge going and as example learn what is ERT, what they really do and all around things about it. Just a basic introduction to the role at some degree.
