Advisors

Advisors.

Many players wish to help new players when available, but are not able to commit to the rigorous duties of a full-fledged Helper. Advisors are expected to 'step up' and help when Helpers are not available, but do not have to help as rigorously or with other duties like CRs (though this help is still greatly appreciated).

Advisors have access to the Newbietalk and Helpertalk channels, but do not have any other Helper abilities (including findcorpse, gag, and so forth), and 'note to advisor' does not work. The advisor flag is visible on the Newbietalk and Helpertalk channels and in finger. Roster 1 and 10 also allow 'advisor'.

Because Advisors are not always available to help, 'who advisor' only works if the player is a Helper or an Advisor. This prevents new players from seeking help from advisors that may not be available. The Advisor flag must be set/unset by an Immortal. Make sure that you understand and agree to Advisor policies listed in 'help advisor policy', and then post a note to 'Helper' on the Personal board to request this flag. (Advisors do not have their own 'note to' category.) The same experience requirements for Helpers (listed at the bottom of 'help helper') also apply to Advisors.

See 'help advisor policy' for rules regarding Advisor (and Helper) conduct.
