Calling Shots: Make sure that they know this is considered "rude," but it would be alright if they want to ask where the shot landed. This feedback helps noobs understand the feel of hitting different targets and equipment. We also tell people not to be offended if someone asks where a shot landed, it doesn't mean that they think you sluffed it, it means that they didn't know what/where the blade went. Get a herald once and a while and call people dead for declaring their shots.

Forkbeard wrote:When we have no herald at practice, we always have one field herald, so to speak. A guy who is fighting but is also watching and settling disputes and whatnot. Primarily they are there to watch the noobs. Being the Herald, they are the one who talks to the noobs about what may or may not have hit them. This maintains the "Only heralds tell you, you got hit" idea.
Isk wrote:I like that approach Fork. Being the one responsible for asking questions or overseeing things is essentially the job of the realm leader right now, but making it formal by calling a 'field herald' helps reinforce that this is a herald's job and only a herald's job. It also allows for rotating it to spread the responsibility around. I think we'll pick that up.
