Looking to hire a consultant... (White Giant)

I find myself in an awkward position. I am currently somewhere between a newb and a new player.
I am enjoying this game very much, and I hope to continue playing it for a long time. I have done a ton of research, and I have hit a few roadblocks. Some of the game mechanics and strategies and not very intuitive. Most of the advice that I have received, is that I should join a fed, or find a mentor. I would like to do both, once I have established myself, so that I can be a productive member and have some fun. With all of that said...I am looking to hire a consultant that can teach me to manage a small empire, and steer me in the direction of stability and prosperity. So, if any vets, teachers, entrepreneurs, or mentors would like to earn some GC's or SC$...let's talk.
Thank you for your time,
PJ

I'm not on WG.

If I were I would fed you up and help you out.

You hang out in chat, the most brilliant game minds are currently there.

BlueSerpent, Wildeyss, Lorelei, Josias, CorporatePartner, WhiteDarkness, Laguna, Myself.

All will help you and even go in depth and will help you upon request, look over your countries, find problems etc. Offer excellent advice., and so on For free I might add.

You investment or payment for such services are not necessary, and i would be extremely wary of anyone charging for that kind of advice or relationship.

Some federations are exclusive while others welcome everybody new or experienced.

On WG WGC is the federation with the most long term success. Find the fed named as such and send them a message.

Well, for "brilliant", you might want to subtract this leader, and maybe add whomever is currently in the "Hall of Fame" (HOF).

reference:

Welcome to the Simcountry Hall of Fame

Your name will be listed here if you are the best President or the best CEO in one of the worlds at the end of a month. Best players are listed in the Hall of Fame for 5 months.

I am most miffed that fatty left me off of her list.

"Moderators" and "admins" were probably assumed to be included already ;).

I hadn't noticed that CC until now. My apologies you are certainly among the most helpful in the game for sure. I can recall for months on end me and you early log ins and all the newbies. I sent them all your way by expressing how much you loved questions in pms. Lols... I was acting the part of a fresh starter all too well.

Yes I remember... Grrrr...

CC will know, up flashes the PM box.

Luckily SSRCP came along ;)
