What Is This?

New members join with questions. A lot of questions. The Buddy Program pairs experienced players with newbies so they have a go-to person for help — not just a wall of guides to figure out alone.

Buddies aren't teachers. They're friendly faces who've been where the newbie is now.

What Buddies Do

• Answer questions — No question is too basic. HQ priorities, where to spend diamonds, what VS means, whatever.
• Point to resources — Know where the guides are? Share them. Capitol Day page, Waterfall training, HQ focus guide.
• Check in occasionally — A quick "how's it going?" goes a long way.
• Flag problems to R4/R5 — If your newbie is struggling or confused about something bigger, let leadership know.

What Buddies DON'T Do

• Babysit 24/7
• Do the work for them
• Know everything (it's okay to say "I don't know, let me find out")

How It Works

1. Volunteer — PM FinlaMor if you're interested
2. Get paired — You'll be matched with a new member
3. Introduce yourself — Send them a quick message, let them know you're their buddy
