    Well, the actual system is fine, however, what I would like to suggest is how mentors/mentees can meet up.

    Currently, it requires dice rolls to see who you get paired up with. While this is an interesting mechanic, I don't think this system is viable any more. What I would like to suggest is:

    Mentor looking for Mentee: If a mentor is looking for someone to take under their wings, they can make a request to go into the "Available Mentors" list. Through this list, people who are looking for a Mentor may choose from the available Mentors who they wish to take on as their Mentor.

    So if Mage Bob wants to be a Mentor, Mage Bob goes into the Available Mentors list.
    Then Mage Jane is a lower rank and wants a Mentor. She sees Mage Bob and would like Mage Bob to be her mentor. It will be at this point that Mage Bob will be removed from the Available Mentors List and Bob and Jane will be put onto the Current Mentor/Mentee listing (basically they're already paired, so they won't be available any more).

    Inversely, there can be Mentees that want a mentor. However, they may not know who would be a good Mentor. So Jane is looking for a Mentor and enters the "Available Mentees" list. From there, anyone who is capable of being a Mentor (in the case of this site, A Rank and up) can look at the Available Mentees list to see who they would like to choose from.

    So I propose that waiting lists are used as opposed to the dice. Yes, people can still hook up as agreed upon like they can already, but instead of dice, mentors/mentees choose from a list of those looking for a mentor/mentee instead of throwing the dice around.

    Eh I can dig this. Go for it. The mentor/mentee system was more of a trial system so tweaks are gonna be needed

    I support this idea whole fully. Because when it's all said and done, rolling a dice for a mentor would not play out well if for example a dark Mage and a legal Mage became mentor/mentee. Not only would it benefit from keeping from crossing those lines, it allows for people with similar personalities or those that are looking into someone that could say, help their character through a fear, push into a motivation or goal, or even just to have an interesting plot/friendship with a few added effects is all that's really necessary.

    I personally have tried to do this with Aiyana, figuring it would help with well.. All of those mentioned above all in one fell swoop of the missions and socials even, training, etc. however, once I looked the system, I had realized that the idea of it wasn't going to pan out the way I had hoped, though an unofficial mentoring would not mean the same thing either.

    The main reason it was set up randomly was to encourage people to RP with new people. Its fine being mentored from someone within your guild or someone you get on with whose higher rank than you.

    Besides, I believe with the current system you get a choice between randomness or picking (or that's how it was intended to be I believe). However, I'm ok with the randomness being removed and it just being a selection.

    Though a legal and a dark being in a mentor/mentee relationship could work out well for plot e.g. they might not be aware of the other's alignment at first and this could cause conflict when one does things in a way the other doesn't approve of. If mr.legal found out that miss.dark was miss.dark then he might try to persuade her to go legal by showing her how helping people is better than killing them or something.


    Still, I just want the playerbase to be happy lol

    As I understood it,  people could already request someone specific / manually pair with someone.

    Either way,  the mentor system is not something I can make use of due to the limitation on only one mentee,  when I would have accepted multiple and there is no way Eris would take an individual on in such a thing.   It's like comparing a principal with a home tutor.
