Sidekick Matchmaking

_{Thanks linkhyrule5 for suggesting this.}

Post your request for Sidekicks or your desire to be a sidekick in the comment section below.

Send a personal message to your potential match to start communicating instead of replying in the thread, to save space and avoid biases, besides privacy.

[edit] Mathias Zamman suggests some questions:

Questions for both Heroes and Sidekicks (and Dragons, etc.)

Post a short description of yourself: personality, skills, general goals.
Where do you live?
How do you see the contact between the two of you going?
What you require in your counterpart: This can be a bit vague but it might be too hard to verbalize for some people

Questions for Heroes:

What is your goal?
Why are you a Hero?
Why do you require a Sidekick?
What specific tasks would a Sidekick perform for you?
What qualities would you not want in a Sidekick?

Questions for Sidekicks:

What sort of goals are you looking for?
Why are you Sidekick material?
Why do you require a Hero?
What sort of tasks could you do for a Hero?
What qualities don't you want in a Hero?

I'm sort of looking at it from the opposite angle - it seems pretty clear that you couldn't use every type of sidekick. Not everyone will work well with you, be interested in the same things, get along with you, etc. So I think that we would both agree that there's a "good fit" and "bad fit" space. The thing is, being unable to list any features of the "good fit" space, (or even features of the "bad fit" space, so that people can self filter) does not exactly inspire confidence in your self-knowledge/introspection skills, nor does it really prompt me to think that you've considered what you're trying to do in enough detail that you know what type of competencies you need to do that successfully (because if you had, you might have mentioned them.)

I am writing this before going to bed and have probably been rather blunt and unkind in my assumptions; the nicer side of this is that you probably have thought of some of the above, but just didn't the right mental provocations to put that stuff down.

File this under "could have been posted much better, but probably better posted than not posted." Hope it helps.

I guess seeing my chart with most of my goals and so on would give people a good idea of what a sidekick would be signing up for. Right now my main reason for not posting any particular reason is no longer that I don't think I should, I do, you have convinced me. Instead it is fear that no one else almost posted in this topic. I was expecting some 5 or 6 people who wanted sidekicks and 5 or 6 who wanted to be sidekicks. Also I got a personal message from a potential sidekick, and we are inquiring into that. Most of all I wanted to encourage other people (h... (read more)
