This is Help Bot ruining the challenge of Fonline again.
I'm here asking for donations to a help the newbie fund so to speak.
I'm looking for any piece of carp Combat Armor, Leather Armor, Assault Rifles, Combat Shotguns, FN FALs, 10mm SMG's, ETC. Condition doesn't matter though I will science things with potential condition less than ~20.
If anyone is wants to join in then why not? I'll use my private stock to help out any guides, public donations will be used either at my discretion or at the instruction of the Donor.
Essentially my accomplices and I will be acting as a Tutorial Guide:
Forcing upon...er showing newbies our own:
Recommended New Player Builds, How to gather resources, how to construct tents, and the particulars of such safe zones, details about support perks and quests, Blue print info, ETC, and of course providing tools and equipment to help players get started. Then keeping tabs on them via trading of materials.

---Project Notes-----
2/14/15 - Storage Depot created next to the HUB - The base doesn't let anyone but the Leader enter though.
Delivering and sorting items at the Depot, Hopefully the Depot will get fixed. Will house 3 alts in a Safe House next to the HUB until the base gets fixed by an Admin or something.
Set up Base north of Junktown that can be used for newbies to mine and get used to the game. As well as for crafting purposes.
Tyrion30 - Given Standard Issue, Set up trade relations. Talked about Support perks Ranger and Awareness.
Tyrion30 knew the basics of flint, wood, Ores gathering. Talked about map making, Tryrion knew about how to make tents. Tyrion ended trade arrangements. He linked up with Sentral.
Chester knew about crafting, resource gathering. And perks, Given standard issue, set up trade relations.
MattBaker - Given Standard Issue, Set up Trade relations. Talked about Ranger Perk, got him Awareness. Showed Wood and fibre gathering. Talked about map making. Matt knows how to set up tents.
RangerFrost and Chester LaRue - Set up trade, given Standard Issue. No mention of gathering. Too late at night.
Radios, Holotapes, and Tents are in low supply ATM. I'll be gathering Holotapes and tents. To keep tabs on newbies.
2/20/15
Roughly 12 people have been using the services on and off. Donations and trade have both occurred both substantially.
2/24/15
While there is usually 1-2 people on at any given time. Most players have moved on (Which means the projected kickstarted them well enough) I'm currently wondering about the best way to keep the project going for as long as possible without needing intermediate times of being on and off. I'm considering hiring freelancers to cover the lack of current staff. Materials are becoming a smaller issue at hand, with shipping being a larger concern than lack of supply. While consistent trade enables players to remain active longer and under the project's eye. The current system is very messy with a highly tedious and inaccurate measure to keep an eye on players.
Currently the system seems to cap out at 12-15 with extensive effort.
A test run with a previous system could support 9 with practically no effort. Implementation of the current system was due to freelancer work and lack of discretion and coordination.
This proved to be a mistake to rely on freelancer discretion. Though resources have been stretched as well.
Post optimization the goal will be to with ease govern, train, and trade with up to 36 players at one single time.
Assuming I can get some real staff in, I may up the ante to 72 players at one single time.
Solo however, I'd most likely cap at 9-18.
Retention rate is low after a week. Mostly hovering at 25%-40% But if the natural rate is 1-5% then the project is making good progress.
Optimization may last longer than previously expected. Though probably not by long. Assuming wipe is months away to a year. Then Optimization will prove very beneficial. If the wipe is less than a month then, optimization will simply be proof of concept.
2/27/15
Have yet to restart the project yet, waiting to see if I can get some staff.
Most likely though I'll restart the project sometime tomorrow and clean the bases again.
Another shipment of supplies came in just in the nick of time. Thanks defunct faction.
I have doubts I'll finish optimizing the project by tomorrow, but most of the framework is down, and its done enough to get started rather easily. I may consult new player help guides, and see if I can use their information to help the new players coming in.
Well about time to set down a few radios, chests, and start counting what supplies I have to use.
There seems to be 1-2 people using the radio still, two or more people helped by the project have joined MOD in some Reno shenenagians.
Two others are active as salvagers. Less activity is noted, but pending wipe is a consideration.
