We are trying a new system within the BGL that should allow for a lot of growth given people choose to participate. The Mentor/Apprentice system will hopefully allow a much funner experience, because you will get the information you need faster than ever before and you will be part of a smaller knit group.
The rules are pretty easy, if you have the experience you post a thread with your character name. Also a small resume that explains your past exploits in LoZ would be nice for potential apprentices.
New applicants just need to ask to be a part of your faction and the choice is yours as to whether you accept them or not.
Any faction member can become an alumni of their former mentor and jump up to become a Mentor in their own right.
I think that's it, but keep checking this post for future updates.
