The Smashboards Mentoring Program!

[GOL | 482 | JSalt]

I haven't been added to the mentor list

 

[KrazyGlue]

Oh right, sorry about that. We had some questions; we'll PM them to you.

 

[Crackle]

Hey the mentoring program signature. How do I get on that on my signature if I may?
I'd love to spread the word whenever I make a post :D

 

[KrazyGlue]

i sent junglefever a pm not too long ago.

i can add some tourney results if you like.

Jungle just forwarded it to me tonight, but yeah, tourney results would be super-helpful.

That's the spirit!

I'll send you the code.

 

[Goombadude3]

This program is great. JoWiiCiDE and me have racked up the longest mentoring yet, and im getting better and better. He is an amazing mentor for a new Kirby

*sniff*

I'm not getting better D:

Uh... it's been like a week dude. Chill, have patience, and give it a bit of time. You'll get better.

 

[Arikags]

I would like to be a mentor for Marth.

 

[NH Cody]

KrazyGlue should I have sent the PM I sent you to Junglefever instead?

 

[Aibou]

^ This guy is mad legit. He'd definitely be a good mentor.

 

[KrazyGlue]

I would like to be a mentor for Marth.

Send an application PM to me and Junglefever with qualifications (tourney results and posts in the marth boards).

KrazyGlue should I have sent the PM I sent you to Junglefever instead?

Feel free to send it to him to. I'll get to it this weekend; I've just been way too busy the last few days.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

We have lives too T_T

 

[LordAizen]

I asked hilt to be my Olimar mentor and he said yeah. I know i'm already being mentored by Dyno but I think I can handle both and Olimar is an awesome secondary forr Wario.

 

[Zatchiel]

Sign me down as a Luigi mentor, if able.

 

[KrazyGlue]

Hi everyone,

I'm very busy for the next few days or maybe even a week. So, I'm turning over most of the mentoring thread functions for Junglefever during that time. If you have any questions or applications, please ask him!

Thanks,
KrazyGlue

 

[imag]

i just pmed jnig and asked if he could mentor me

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Junglefever / KrazyGlue, I think it should be noted that the Pokemon Mentors and subsequent tiers are all for the Fourth Generation (DPPt). With Black and White released everything will have to settle down, tiers will need to be assigned, etc. for us to truly count ourselves as specific tier tutors for the Fifth Generation.

 

[Sage JoWii]

Yo KrazyGlue, I got a request for mentorship by Twinkie that I'm accepting since my other mentorship is done. When I say done, I mean I've helped my pupil reach the level of skill he wanted to reach, taught the blah blah blah blah blah, and I'm just waiting to go to an online dubz tourny.

[WindMajor]

^ Confirming that.

JoWii is my kirby mentor now.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Tight, it's been noted

 

[PMC66]

hi yes can anyone here give me some Mario lessons?.

 

[Ava john]

This is a full system scanner. Takes about 2 or 3 hours, but it looks for spyware and viruses at the same time. Its web based so it is free.

 

[GOL | 482 | JSalt]

I accepted imag's request for Falco mentorship.

Also, I asked to be a Wario mentor as well as Falco, but I'm only listed as Falco.

 

[KrazyGlue]

Junglefever, I hope you've been updating the mentoring list!

I'll most likely be back to work here by friday night. Like I said, I'm really busy right now so ask Junglefever about applications, mentorships, and other things.

 

[Zatchiel]

Um, Jungle, can you list me down for Luigi? I can also do Melee mentor, now. Just got back up to speed with it.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

We have three melee mentors, we don't need any more at the present time.

I'll add you for luigi.

I've been seeing your signatures throughout the forum and I just thought I'd drop in to point out that the quote on it is grammatically incorrect.

"A mentor has not done their job, until their pupil is the master."

Firstly, the comma doesn't belong there. Secondly, the use of "their" in that sentence is incorrect. "Their" is a plural possessive, but the subject of this sentence is "mentor" which is a singular noun. The correct sentence would read:

"A mentor has not done his job until his pupil is the master."

"His" can optionally be replaced with "her."

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

In the english language it is also correct to use "they" as a non-gender singular pronoun.

 

[LordAizen]

Krazyglue, I'm being Olimar mentored by Hilt. I've been talking to him on Aim for days now. I'll tell him to confirm this.

 

[NH Cody]

In the english language it is also correct to use "they" as a non-gender singular pronoun.

False.

Absolutely incorrect.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Is the pokemon mentoring only for fourth/fifth gen or is it applicable to older generations or formats like G/S/C, R/S/E?

 

[PMC66]

False.

Absolutely incorrect.

it is incorrect the correct term to use would be "he"

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Ryu are you asking for a mentor or to be one?

The current ones are for Gen 4.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

False.

Absolutely incorrect.

It completely depends on who you ask.

 

[NH Cody]

It doesn't matter who you ask.

Referring to one person as "they" is bad grammar

They means more than one person

*facepalm*

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Technically, for a gender neutral singular pronoun "it" is the correct word. However because "it" refers to inanimate objects and is quite offensive to most people, "they" is being used more and more often as a non-gender singular. The other alternative is, like you said, "he" but is obviously not gender neutral.

This was first brought to my attention a few years ago by my German professor; in German "es" is the neutral pronoun and is perfectly acceptable to use when gender is unknown, unlike in English. Since then I've discussed it with a few other sources and while I'm currently in the dark about the details of the movement, I have been told its a split issue amongst English academics. From my quick research, it seems Robert Maximilian de Gaynesford, an English philosopher, is one of the forerunners.

 

[GawdImFoxy]

Arguing about grammar, are we?

I think it's safe to just say "he." Are there any female mentors? Most likely not. If there are female mentors, what's so difficult about saying "he or she?" Maybe it's none of my business.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Ryu are you asking for a mentor or to be one?

The current ones are for Gen 4.

A mentor to play gen 2, but you answered my question, gen 4 only. :/

 

[Claire Diviner]

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I have a R.O.B. mentor. Mister Eric. I'm ever-so happy to be taken under the wing of a Brawl teacher. Wish me luck. :D

EDIT: For some unknown reason, I can't get my sig to show. D:

EDIT: Nevermind. XD

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

hey Krazyglue, i know you want tourney results (and i'm looking through old searches and whatnot for results) but i was in a recent tourney but was dsq'ed sadly because of time issues.

anyways, i would still take the job because maybe if someone saw there were tutors for smash64 we could get more players.

I am actually good at brawl too, i think i would make a nice kirby mentor but i want to focus on smash64.
