You must learn it all to be a good Block Leader. Your Block Deputy's should be able to take over in case you have to be gone unexpectedly, so ensure your BD's have the best training possible. Upon completion of your training you should understand the your new tools and how to use them.
As Block Leader you are responsible for the entire block. It is your domain, you are in control. If you don't know HTML ask an ND for help with your Message Board or hire an HTML Wizard BD to help you out.
It is exciting to be your own boss but it carries a price. You are responsible for the health and maintenance of the block, so if you have lazy Bd’s or no Bd’s then you must do their jobs until you get some. You must keep check on your BD's to ensure they are doing their jobs. If they don't know how to do something you must teach them. Always be polite regardless the situation.

Being a Neighborhood Deputy can be one of the most rewarding Jobs you will ever have in CT. A good ND holds both leadership skills and natural people skills. You are a role model, teacher, student and player. Your job as ND is kind of like being in the middle of a huge chain, you’re a link between the NL and the BLs and Bd’s. Your job will consist of many duties ranging from hiring a BD to rebuilding boards to helping the NL in whatever he or she needs all the while helping your BLs and your Bd’s.
Here in Games we have many different kinds of ND's. Grid ND's that over see grids such as A, B, C and so on. They work one on one with the BL’s and BD's on the Grid to build up the blocks. They hire and train and do all the everyday work needed to assist the BL.
The other type of ND’s we have are "Special Task ND" these ND's hold a very specific job. That can range from a Public Relations ND that acts as a sort of "Motivation Specialist" (cheerleader) or a Tech ND that help build and maintain all the boards, maps and other Tech needs. In Games we have a double Senior Neighborhood Deputy (SND) system instead of just having one SND.
Together with the NL these two provide the direction and guidance for our hood. They act as stand-ins whenever the NL is unavailable. The Events SND runs hood Events and helps with block and grid Events. The Hiring and Training SND oversees hiring and training of all staff. We also have a type of ND called an inspection ND. This person goes through each house in each bock every other week to ensure each and everyone is doing their job.
The results of his inspections are given only to the SND and the NL. This Data is them compiled and sent to the CL each month. All ND work as a team with other ND, BL, BD, and the NL. ND play a HUGE role in a hoods success. A break in the link anywhere can cause a bad chain reaction and thus a hood that is not well kept and fun. ND's are leader, teachers, enforcers and role models. I wish you luck, as being ND it will truly be a learning experience where you will learn some very good skills useful not only here but in life itself.
