Keep trying and never quit learning.
I would say every month at least one or two people site mail me. I always try to help as much as I can.
Try to find someone that is in your world. It is not as easy to help in a world that I'm not in.
Sometimes it becomes overwhelming, I have two GD and one HBD teams and can really only help one or two, there have been months where 4 or 5 people ask for some advice, for a quick question, no problem, but to truly help (look over team, review their recruit board, tell them if and when to battle, help with practice plans and game plans...) I just don't have the time.
Another thing, ensure you know who you dealing with. For me it is easier if the person gives me their p***word and I log into their account. I personally would never, ever abuse this.
I have also been asked by new guys if they should give their account info to another vet, asking is a good idea. If two or three other veterans tell you it is safe to give it to XXX, then it is probably safe.
