Mentor IRC channel

[poland spring]

If this was realistically going to happen then mentors would need to be able to pm players from IRC, which will probably need admins to oversee to prevent abuse.

A fair few mentorhelps get ignored (can't have mentors on every server 24/7) so I guess this is a good idea.

The IRC isn't lacking in mentors either.

Yeah you'd definitely need some oversight, but ultimately I think it'd save the admins time and effort, as usually (at least in my case) when mentorhelps don't get answered, folks go to adminhelps for results. This isn't to say I want to get rid of the cherished tradition of beating yourself to death with your own shoes in your first few rounds, but chances are you wouldn't know to mentorhelp by that point, anyway. The large number of mentors on the IRC is why I came up with this in the first place, as far more often you have people on IRC than in-game.


And in regards to Clarks, the whole point is not having them have to ask questions over the radio. If they are asking about traitorous things, that could potentially ruin their round. I'd like to prevent that.
