I am interested in learning how to be an Oracle.

It seems to be as simple and as potentially complex as finding and providing useful information to people who patrol. I don't think there's a specific authoritative way to do it, although of course there are documented research techniques and stuff.

^^What he said. Check out the oracle project, there's a lot of good resources there. You might also talk to Artemis. She's near you and largely does oracle work if I remember correctly. Going off of that, I've found that it helps to have people who desire your services as an oracle. It sounds obvious, but it's not. Many people on here have serious issues with delegating tasks. However, once the right trust is established and you have people to provide info for, you'll have more motivation and direction for your researching.

I always thought I'd make a better Oracle than a field agent.
Wouldn't mind seriously looking into it.

I am not really a foot patrol type person.
