Guider Duty

Guider Duty is a community duty in CIT. Guiders help non-English-speaking players in their own language in game and on the forum.

Overview

Guiders are expected to:

help players
stay active
support their language community

A Guider helps players in their own language, but this duty is not the same as the Translator duty.

What Guiders do

Guiders help non-English-speaking players in game and on the forum.

In game, Guiders can:

help players in their own language
warp to players
see a player's `MTA` language
filter players by language
filter players by country
use country-shouts
use language-shouts

On the forum, Guiders:

translate posts
review translations
help manage their language board

Helping players in game

A player who needs help can use:

/helpme <problem>

After that, a Guider can teleport to the player to help.

Any player can check which Guides are online with:

/online guide

Tools GUI

Guiders use the Tools GUI.

The Tools GUI lets Guiders:

warp to players
see a player's `MTA` language
filter players by language
filter players by country

Language support

Guiders help players in their own language.

They can also use:

country-shouts
language-shouts

Country-Shouts go to players from the same country.

Language-Shouts go to players using the same `MTA` language setting, except en_US.

Translator tools

Guiders do not have Translator tools in game.

They help players in their language, but Translator tools are not part of the Guider duty.

To become a Guider, a player must:
