John Hancock:

--- Quote from: Quentin Lang on July 30, 2010, 09:08:26 pm ---1. Not if he's the leader.
2. And if he's not the leader, right after following the trade partner (lets say, exiting NCR) he can click on his name in follower bar, slide on the abandon party icon to be ready to leave. If the 'trade partner-leader' starts moving somewhere, he can simply leave the party, if not, cancel action and accept trade. And as i said, its just one of many ways. Just use your imagination.

Ah, I see how it's supposed to work now.

I haven't actually used the party features at all yet, so this is good to know.

I've seen you once mining near Junktown or in Junktown itself, i remember cuz your ingame name was John Hancock. If you ever need help with these things i frequent the hub/jtwon mining/jtown. I would gladly help you out. I only started like a week ago but even in my nooby state i went off and built 10mm pistols, flamer fuels, gave away 10mm ammo, ect to people who needed it.

And the caps thing, you just have to look far and wide and try not to hit the main stream merchants that are easily accessible to most players.

--- End quote ---
Luck is part of it but a good strategy is to go to towns such as New Reno and check the stores there. (I personally always find max caps which is wierd, in Renesco) but be sure to town preview for campers.  If you want to see how its done we could meet up in NCR, I can teach you everything. [Why am I so confident?  Because since I've learned these stregies I've never been pk'd.... at least not when im just trying to sell shit.]

--- Quote ---Question #2: If I want to sell things to other players (cheap ammunition for example), what's the safest way to go about doing that? I'm leery of getting robbed or killed while sealing the deal.

--- End quote ---
Post in trade section on forum or advertise naked in NCR, be sure to make  the deal where only gaurds are and very few players, and avoid alleys.... (Bad experience selling 2 P90s)

--- Quote ---Question #3: Are there public radio channels people tend to use a lot? Or does all-public chat pretty much go into IRC?

--- End quote ---
Nope, IRC is the way to go, although I never use it or have used it ;D.


Random tips: 
Pass through alleys whenever you can if your trying to get away from pker.
Caps are only good for BIG Deals or buying things like Bases, Mercenaries, Slaves, etc...
Its good idea to bring slave when your going to some ungaurded town to sell shit, he can be valuable distraction.

Hah, actually that's a coincidence — this is just my forum name (I've had it at No Mutants Allowed since 2005). My character at the moment is named Blaine.

I'd enjoy meeting up though, it's always good to meet new friends and influence people, etc.

Great advice, thank you. Of course, being new, I only hit the mainstream parts. I've been hesitant to visit unguarded areas, naturally. What do you mean "town preview"? It's mentioned in the wiki, but not explained, and I must have missed it in the manual.... EDIT: Figured it out, Town/World button.

And sure, I wouldn't mind meeting up somewhere in-game. I'm bit burnt out on the game for now, but as stated earlier, meet new friends, influence people, etc.

On worldmap you see that little button at the bottom right of screen?  Press it next time your over a gaurded town.  btw try pressing the triangle with an eye first.
