My Mentor was Blitz Toxic Grey and he did a superb job.
I encountered him while trying to do a TP run ( somewhere N of Billys I think ) after playing for approx. a week in which time I'd learned to sweat.
A simple "Hi" turned into a lengthy conversation after which he offered to mentor me. He showed me how to use the tt and repair terminals, suggested I depo about $50 and thereafter coached me in hunting.
He helped me get about half the TP's ( I did the others when he was offline - my choice as I had a lot more time to play then ). He showed me all sorts of mobs I would never have been able to tackle by myself, fapped me when necessary if they aggro'd on me and he used to keep the loot as Equal shares with Items Queued - which was more than fair.
He also sold me my goblin at tt, later he sold me a FAP-50 and an A103 at tt ( back in the days when you could amp your Opalo ). He taught me masses about the game.
Sadly, he no longer plays, but we remain in sporadic email contact. He received a Foxtrot ME as his gift when I graduated, which IMO was a just reward for the help he gave me and the effort he put in.
Salute, Toxic !
