I am making daily appearances, they are just usually at 2 am. This does make me invisible unless I do a lot of posting and I apologize for that, but I cannot avoid it. I will train all three, plus 3 more before I declare myself even slightly being overloaded with work.
In the past in my bigger days, I was known to routinely train 7 or 8 Padawans at the same time, just on TGC alone, as well as fulfilling my regular staff duties at TGC. Remember (or be advised), TJO did start out with just one member who was not a Padawan, and it was me. It had to grow somehow.
The mentor system is a proven one which in my years of experience on different boards turns out better high ranking Force users overall. Trust me. Amalia? A shining example of this. There are others, but she is my favorite example because she went from uh... needing work, to one of the best and most well known.
The mentor system also helps me identify and weed out well, to be blunt.... hopelessly stupid people who will not improve with any amount of tutoring and help. Browse the training grounds, you'll find the threads.
Also, you can RP all you want about your development on your own. I know it is not widely announced that that's encouraged, but uh.... I would assume it's common sense to write RPs about the development of your character, and you shouldn't have to be told to or given permission to do that??? And all you have to do is link your mentor, so that they know what you are up to.
I would never vote to get rid of the mentor system. It's proven too beneficial in the past. Indeed it would depend on me being here regularly, so I guess having said this I better start fully living up to my words.
