The School of Lootius - a part of CoL

[Lykke]

School of Lootius
A part of Church of Lootius

After watching this huge number of newbies coming to our world of Calypso – and watching the frustrations, questions and searching for help among the newcomers, we, as priests, nuns, the brothers and sisters of Church of Lootius have decided to help and guide the newbies – we see it as our call.

Therefore we will like to introduce to you The School of Lootius.

The object of the school is to give newbies a good start in game. We want happy players – and to make sure we get that, we will tell the newbies how to survive in game, help them to make friends among other newbies in the society and show them that PE is more than money – it’s a lot of fun too.

Too many people take advantage of the new players, make them their disciples but leave them again after 3 days. As a newbie you should know, that you can only kick your mentor the first 3 days in your disciple-ship. After that, you are deadlocked to your mentor until the graduation.

It’s not only mentoring people who might scam like this. Our rules about how to choose the disciples are also to prevent scamming. Since some disciples take a mentor, get a new disciple-kit the first day, and then they kick their mentor. Some even creates avatars with only that purpose – even though it’s against the restricted PE-rules.


How to join The School of Lootius

• Your age is 16+

• You live in Europe or in a time zone that fits the mentors

• You are a forum reader/writer

• You don’t beg for items or money

• You show other people respect and create an avatar – role playing or not - that you and the school can be proud of

• You work hard to get to your goal; graduation

• You play at least twice a week – If not playing for 3 weeks without a good reason, you will be expelled

• You have humour and know that the life in PE is about having tons of fun

What will we be offering you?

It’s important to have a nice start in the game. Therefore we will offer all disciples the following:

• A disciple starter-kit consisting of a fap-5, a weapon and pixie parts - You can buy this from us at the actual value of the items

• Membership of Church of Lootius during the disciple period

• A fast learning period were you will get :

• all tp’s (the goal is all tp’s in 3 weeks)

• The possibility of meeting other newbies and making friends

• Special events like team hunting etc. every week

• Advice about the game – how to act, what to do etc.

• A LOT of fun

Note that we will NOT give any money to the disciples other than during hunting.


Team hunting
The team settings in the hunting will always be leader takes items but money will be equal. The reason for this setting is that we will be funding all the items for the disciples on our own, and that requires items and money.


Items for the newbie-kit
We look for specific items for the new disciples – and will therefore ask on this forum, if you have the following:

• Fap-5 – we will buy them at tt price

• Pixie armour parts – as cheap as possible

• Axe 0x1 – we buy them tt+1

• We might need other items and stuff, but atm we cant afford too much

Donations for the school are more than welcome


The required skills for graduation
To graduate as a disciple, the following skills are required (only one of them)

Color clothes 1900 skills
Concentration 1900 skills
Engineering 1900 skills
First Aid 1900 skills
Handgun 1900 skills
Longblades 1900 skills
Make Clothes 1900 skills
Powerfist 1900 skills
Shortblades 1900 skills
Prospecting 160 skills
surveying 160 skills
rifle 2000 skills


As you can see – the choice in the beginning is important. Therefore you should think wisely before choosing your future way in the game. If you start skilling longblades for example and change to riffle in the middle of your education, you will have to start over again – we can offer you a good insight into what the differences between the professions are, and hopefully we will be able to help you make a decision.


Be sure, that we all will put a lot of energy in this project – and time/money/sweat and probably also tears!


At the moment we have 5 mentors in The School of Lootius, and as a disciple we will chose the mentor for you who we consider to be the best for you. We will look at personalities etc to pick the best one for you. Even though you have one permanent mentor, all mentors are available if your own mentor is not in PE when you need him or her.

We will only take in a few disciples at a time (The max of 5 each mentor) – to be sure we have time/resources for all. But when a disciple reaches between 50-75% (depending on the individuals need for help), we will take in a new disciple.

If you would like to join The School of Lootius, please send me your request on a pm on this forum – until our website will be done. I will respond to you immediately and meet you in PE – if we think you are qualified for the school.


We welcome you – and give you Lootius blessings on your way.

Let the games begin.

Redoaks
Wierdo of Chruch of Lootius
Self Appointed Head of the Inquisition and General Nutbag

Yeah right, thats all we need... more people like me

I think (not often but sometimes when I had enough to drink) that a similair service should be extended to those who have been here a little while, but have been left abandoned.

I think after it happened to me its only fair I stand up for those in that 'grey' area. Unable to get a new mentor, perhaps stuck with an old one who is never around, or just too skilled to take one on. Though since they likely already have basic equipment they may be exempt from being granted said equipment.

A wing to guide them through the nonesense and help them become better people. Otherwise they might end up like me.... and YOU don't want that do YOU!

Thank you brother Oaks for this great offer!

I would like to represend to you, our new mentor:

Redoaks
Munk of Church of Lootius
Master Mentor of the abandoned disciples

We DO know you are a weirdo, Oaks - but we will lay this huge responsibility into your hands! Though I have to warn people about your purple gaypants, which might course a bit of distractions.

Do you feel abandoned by your mentor? And still need any advice about the game? Fell free to PM Oaks for further information.

Thank you Ursaker and Kerham - and also thanks to all others, who have pm'ed me the last 24 hours offering to help!

In the beginning we will only have mentors from our own society in The School of Lootius. We will only use mentors, who we know as beeing respectable and who are serious about PE and the project. However, we are working on a mentoring-system, where we will have guest-lectures from the elite of each profession. These mentors will be chosen very carefully. The system requires some final and well designed guidelines, and, when finished, will be posted on this forum or the forth coming website; hopefully very soon.

The newbies need all the help, they can get and your interest and help in this project is really appreciated
