Hello everyone.
The Community Mentorship program was a way for new and learning mappers to make a splash in the community by having a guiding hand from a more experienced mapper or modder.
I am making an attempt to revive the long dormant Community Mentorship program, with some new changes in hopes to make results more tangible to everyone participating.
If you are interested in becoming a pupil, please fill out this form before April 24th: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KDbuYs ... =send_form
Refer to the mentor list on the second post to see your options.
I am introducing some new things to the program.
Details are as follows:
If you are interested in being a mentor, please PM me. I will reply with further details and ask you for more information about yourself.
In addition, I'm open to suggestions for amendments to what I have right now.

I am introducing some new things to the program.
Details are as follows:
- Standard only for now.
- Mentorships are operated on a per cycle basis. Cycles are periods of time (currently 3 months long) where the mentor will be bound to a pupil.
- Cycles are culminated in an event that takes place between all mentor-pupil pairs. Each pair will present a work they have created in that cycle, and all the Mentors will serve as judges. A small scale mapping competition, except anything goes.
- Judging will be really relaxed. All mentors will do is pick one map other than their pupil's that they think is the best. The Pupil with the highest tally wins.
- THIS ISN'T REALLY A COMPETITION. You aren't competing for anything! This is purely incentive for pupils.
- We want to focus on a more "discussion" oriented view in these events. We want to build these mappers together as a community.
- Upon the culmination of each cycle, a new cycle will begin. After each cycle ends, the mentor and pupil can decide whether or not they want to continue for another cycle, or take on a new pupil. Due to the nature of the new program, each mentor is limited to one pupil at a time. Pupils who part with a mentor are still eligible for future cycles so long as they have a total of less than 4 total cycles. Keep in mind that mentors should be considering these pupils as returning participants, and consider their improvements as a mapper instead of a first impression.
- You must have been a member of BN or BAT for at least 3 months. External mentors are considered on a CASE BY CASE BASIS.
- You must be DEDICATED to your position as a mentor. You are expected to be responsible for your pupil and his submission for Mentorship Expo.
- You should be prepared to invest a good amount of time for the program. Scheduling is up to you, but lackluster mentorship experiences should not happen.
If you are interested in being a mentor, please PM me. I will reply with further details and ask you for more information about yourself.
In addition, I'm open to suggestions for amendments to what I have right now.
