A Guide plays a crucial role in retaining new players by building relationships and providing a positive first impression of DemocracyCraft. Your job is to engage with new players, create a connection, and give them a reason to stay.

Structure
The Department of Education’s structure includes: - Tour Guides: You, as the front-line guides responsible for welcoming and informing new players. - Tour Managers: Your mentors who provide support and training.
Attending
Use guiding questions as conversation starters to help build relationships. To initiate a tour with a new player, Tour Guides use an attend system.
Run the command `/doe-guideattend username.
Remember, you must attend at least 2 tours per week.
Guiding Questions
Begin by introducing yourself and your role. Then, choose from a variety of questions to ask, such as:
- How are you?
- How long have you been playing Minecraft?
- Have you joined any other city servers or is this your first?
- How did you find DemocracyCraft?
- Is there a particular aspect of the server that has piqued your interest?
If not, explain the different aspects of DemocracyCraft and encourage them to use the tutorial. Emphasize the government aspect, as it is a major draw for many players.
Don’t forget to ask if they have any questions or concerns about being a new player here.
Route
As a Tour Guide, follow a specific route and discuss the listed topics.
Locations:
- Spawn -

Tour Protection
Utilize the Tour Protection act if another player disrupts your tour.
Disrupting a Tour is a summary criminal offense, with a verbal warning for the first offense per tour and a $500 fine and 15 minutes jail time for subsequent offenses.
Note that this charge can be applied in addition to the Murder charge per offense if the Tour Guide is killed.
A tour begins with /doe-attend and ends at the final tour stop or if a player/guide willingly leaves the tour.

After 7 days on the job, Trainee Guides may request an evaluation for promotion. Speak to your mentor (the Tour Manager who trained you) to proceed.
