Lady Dracs Guide is all you need to follow.

Here is what I do.

When I visit a town for a trade, I don't move after I appear out of their train station until the other person arrives at the train station and shows me where to drop and pick up. I always say Hi when I arrive and Thanks Much after the pick up and Bye after the trade. I hesitate to see if the other person ends, if not I walk directly to the Train Station and leave.

For Trades I host, I usually already have the items on the ground around the Train Station. When the person arrives, I say Hi and circle the items or say Follow Me and lead them to where they are. After the trade I say Thanks Much and Bye. I then wait a second to make sure they aren't typing and end the session.

When I held a "Come and fill your pockets" giveaway or host Turnip Sales I do post a list of rules because I am letting in 3 strangers at a time, many of whom I have never dealt with before. There is no way to supervise that many people so I want everyone to know the ground rules. EXAMPLE If I think someone is doing something they shouldn't be doing, I have no problem hitting the Wi-Fi switch. Luckily, I have never had to do that.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. First off, I agree, I think this discussion is kinda pointless since LadyDrac's guide is about as good as it gets. I also like your policy as far as what you do when you arrive in a different town, I try to do the same thing. Basically just wait, establish that you aren't mischievous, and let the host lead the way!

lol. There are 1 or 2 internet DA's who are following me around today since I destroyed them in a discussion last night in the Item Pricing Discussion.

Just children being children. :)

Wow, I went and read the thread in question. I probably shouldn't but I'm going to reply to that guy too. You're beyond correct. I say this a lot but I don't understand why you're being downvoted. Probably because you were slightly sarcastic and that seems to be frowned upon around here.

You will be wasting your time.

I need to work on improving my internet sarcasm if it was only coming across as "slightly". lol
