Not to put a target on him but I lent him a hand, gave him some of that rather than dump it in a guild somewhere after swapping it out from my set. Guys doing things right, learning areas and asking questions IC. From what he's said in game I think he's playing around the clock, as I'm sure others here have done at points in their time in CF.
If any have advice for him you can bet he's reading this thread as well.
My only advice to him would be to remember you are only your character, not to reference experiences outside of the game or on other characters. So if you approach a guy as a different character ,dont reference what has happened between you and that PC. It isnt just making vague references so Imms won't catch it, the point is we should have a clean slate each time. Sometimes you'll be friends and sometimes you wont.
