Instead of ruining the investment by helper groups that bought an orientation sim, you just route people there. When someone comes in through a regAPI web site, you send them to the associated orientation island. Otherwise you just send them to a LL island, or a random orientation island. You weight the randomness against the average age of other avatars in the sim: More helpers = better chances. Organizations that run orientation islands then are encouraged to involve more people, who will then ostensibly improve the content on the orientations that 'stink on ice.' If the problem is making one more choice on the login screen, then automate that choice. Solutions in code, fast easy fun, salvage the program. Woot. This doesn’t make much sense.
