Here is what I came up with during a boring German class
Have a n00b night on a server. Every hour a new group of newbies can get a chance to play DB with two 'teachers' who will explain them DB as they play it.
i would be able to help train anyone who wants it, maby daveM can advertise the night (when theres a set date?) on the main page, 20 min lessons or something.
I belive most ppl will be able to train pretty well, it sounds like a good idea. Having 2 teachers will be useful but i see one flaw with it. How will noobs find out about this? I mean most of the noobs that come to this forum and are really into DB wont stay noobs for long. Also it will be really hard to train more than 3 ppl at anyone time as there is only one ball. Its not like football coaching where there are sacks of balls.
Well it doesn't take a genius to figure out that I aint much of a player but I'll lend a hand in whatever I can do. I'll give ya a bit of advertising on MOTD at the very least
