Wow I didn't know we got incentives. This is awesome. My only complaint is that I am already at my max students and would love more. But I love being busy busy.

I think it would be cool if mentors could be upgraded and voted on by their students to be able to take on more at one time.

I also think a student should be automatically dropped if they don't complete their first review within...idk...a week so as to not waste time others could have learning. This is also a reason for my gripe about the two max.

I'm having so much fun with this, best update ever . less
