Depends on how fast the player catches on... there are some that in one or
two months would have as much knowledge of mechanics and strategy as older
players, and some that in six months would still know very little. This also
cuts the people who had played but had to leave and created a new account
from becoming mentors for a long time. One month is probably too short, but
six months is probably overkill... two or three months seems a reasonable
medium.
