English Speaking Mentors for Community Gateway

Hi all, hi Mentors,

we have just activated the Community Gateway Vienna Freebies and searching for more Mentors who help new english speaking residents to make their first steps in secondlife.

If you have fun and a little bit time to help new residents you are really welcome to go to the following location

Any questions and suggestions please to Holger Gilruth inworld

The gateway will move to a other sim because to much lag there are hundreds of new residents every day. Help is really needed

Hello,
I would be willing to pitch in! Is there anything specific you you need me to do? Do I just talk to newbies and see if they need help? How does this work?

There are some things you should have on hand...

1. A notecard of useful phrases that you can cut and paste, to save typing the same thing five hundred times.

2. Some more notecards explaining some of the basics you'll be asked about. Like "how can I find a job?" "Where is the Sex?" "How do you play this game?" "How can I change my appearance?" Lucrezia Lamont has a good Newbie Kit...see her for a copy.

3. Some free things to give. Clothing, hair, shoes, a freebie hugger, translator, basic AO, flight feather...

4. Landmarks to helpful places. Freebie stores, some different types of clubs, scenic areas, schools.

5. A good translator of your own.

6. Lots of good humor and patience.
