The Straw Hut
    Keywords: Clubs & Places

Intro

The Straw Hut is a lesson room on KGS. The Dr (DrStraw) made it as a teaching ladder-type of room. In other words, it's for people who don't only want to be taught but are also willing to return the favor to weaker players.

Players of all strengths are welcome in the Straw Hut. If you are a beginner needing help, please feel free to ask! Don't worry if you think you aren't good enough to teach, you will soon be able to explain the basics to other players. For everyone else, if you receive a game, please teach someone weaker than you. Currently the hut runs on an honor system, so we are relying on everyone to help make it work. See you in the hut. - FroG

The name of the room seems to have been changed by the dr to - "The Straw Hut (La Hutte De Paille)" - lol :)

(Reuven - I'll just add that it's the best place on KGS;)

Ideas for improvement

Please indicate your agreement or disagreement with these proposals with the usual + or -.

[1] Weekly meetings - However the Dr is busy these days, so we're looking for a dan player who is willing to contribute to our community by giving weekly lesson/ guessaramas (Guessing the next move in pro games) and such. (If you're willing and able to contribute, but unable to do it on a regular basis, just join the room at any time... It's 24-7 anyway, there..;)

 - Frog and the rest of us ;)

Votes: +

[2] Teaching Ladder Ranking - Why would people want to have a rank? It's no prob for the people who're already actively helping the community, however it might encourage others to join. Only problem is that since the game records don't include data about the room it was played in it would have to be entered manually on site.

Another note on this - what would a good point system be if this were to work? People should get points for Simul, Demos, and other stuff along with teaching games(please post ideas)...-Jeff223
Reuven - Don't you think it'd be enough if we kept records here, of the best of special events? Maybe just add a "Most Simuls" or most frequent once to the records list?

[3] How about a record for the longest teaching chain? For example, ZeroKun 9p, Azazel 4d, Daric 3k, tartuffe 7k?, Gornauth 15k, puh 25k each give the next person on the chain a game + review. Or else, record on SL all the 5+ player chains.

 - tartuffe.

Reuven - Would be a bit hard to keep track of, but it a great idea, I think :)

General gossip and quotes ;P
