Talk:Beginner's Path

I like it. Gives folks something they can do on their own and makes sure they are familiar with the RS website. -Spokes 1 March 2006

From Indy: We definately need to make some things fleet specific, though. I don't care of an AF Cadet can use XFire. That has no relevance to my fleet, so I don't think someone in AF who has that as their only game should get points for adding Spokes to XFire. There are things on that list that don't necessarily apply across the board to all fleets -- I don't see a reason for PBF folks to have XFire, either, so it's not just me. -Indy 4 May 2006

EK, I figure since this is your bailiwick now, this page will get all fine-tuned and revamped. Look forward to seeing your ideas man! As for Indy's concern... I see your point, and it's very valid. However, I think that it sort of muddles the intent of the Beginner's Path. It's designed to be a general orientation to the RS. True, as an AFer (but as a PBFer, I can see use for XFire) you may not need nor want XFire. But what if, like many of our members, you belong to more than one fleet, the majority of which do prefer use of XFire. Or, should you choose to join a fleet later. Bam, you've already learned how to do it. If this was a task that was somewhat arduous or otherwise, then I'd agree with you. But I think the 30 seconds or so it requires to get a point on the Beginner's Path for this task is a very fair bargain, and will be useful as I think more of our members will utilize XFire at least once in their career than not.

automated points

It is possible to easily add automated points for any page on the main RS domain (www.rebelsquadrons.org/anything). Subdomains are negotiable. Licah 23:06, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
