No, I do not teach using OOC messages, etc. I try to keep the lessons as IC as 
possible. But it still doesn't change the fact that the purpose of the teaching is 
OOC. Let's face it, you're not teach Ungfar SwordSwinger what a Monarchy is, 
or that when the Marshal issues an order you should follow it. You're teach Joe 
Schlobotnick from Topeka, Kansas about oaths of fealty, and the difference 
between Mercenary and Sentry settings.

Keep it as IC as possible, to get the player used to dealing with everything IC. 
But you're really teaching the player, not the character.

I have been following the general trend and trying to create a mentor page 
specific to my mentor's realm. There's no reason to keep retyping all the same 
stuff. Besides, it gets them used to using the wiki, and the huge amount of 
information that is available there.

Well, it was better than being a chicken. I mean, you've seen the
size of an egg. You've seen the size of a chicken's bum. I was
trying to say, in chicken-talk, "For God's sake, give me an epidural!"
