Animal Crossing: City Folk - Gen. Discussion and info

[nbballard]

should i avoid rolling my snowmen until after i catch a dung beetle?

[io]

I'm pretty sure the snowballs regenerate in the GC version but you may have to smash both if you mess one up - then they both come back - something like that? I remember being able to make a snowman every day at least - perhaps not a good one, but at least something. And I smashed snowballs all the time then. They better come back as my son broke the first one he saw today...

And lilboo - I agree that the snow not on the ground thing (where it has worn down) is complete ass. The thing is, when my son time travelled it was Dec and he said snow was everywhere. So I'm not sure what happened there. They need to patch (if possible) that wearing down of paths thing and get rid of it - it was a HORRIBLE idea. Or at least they need to make it WAY less sensitive or grow back faster. We have no grass pretty much anywhere we've been more than, like, once. It is ridiculous. It is going to make creating snowmen very hard. Fortunarely I have an alcove of sorts in the middle of the town where nothing really is located and that area is pretty clean. But of course the snowballs will often be up the ramps from there and that makes it harder.

As a little test plot I put down a 2x3 section of flowers in a trampled area and now, a week or so later, I think it is starting to come back. So I guess there's hope that parts can be restored - but you have to stay off of them.

Anyone with decent turnip prices? Anyone? Seems like we had all the great prices last Thurs, so someone's got to have something. I'll check mine in a bit here. I had 150 or so last night and would have taken that in a second if I hadn't seen the 300+ ones posted here last week. Getting greedy will probably cost me this week - and I bought a ton too :lol:.

Oh yeah - as for the whole online thing in the DS version, Strell, you missed the boat, man. We had a lot of CAGs playing and I don't remember you being in on that at all. In fact, from the current set of players the only ones I remember are Yukine and Ramstoria. There were a ton of CAGs playing then that don't seem to be into this version, which I find odd... It is really a whole new set of people for the most part. Still, in some ways I thought the DS version was better - way easier to type for one thing and I could play "privately" on the DS instead of the whole family being involved. That definitely made the online portion easier to get into than it is now. Plus I could sit near my wireless router and get a great signal - now it is hit or miss ;).

[Strell]

OH GOD FALLMOON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

[lilboo]

So wait, the grass does grow back??

[Strell]

So wait, the grass does grow back??

Yes. No one said it didn't. If you plant flowers and trees, it'll grow back faster.

I think the idea is that it encourages 1) planting things to achieve a Perfect Town rating, and 2) adds "character" to your town since it'll show that you play a lot.

I'm actually hoping Nintendo will realize that they should release a DLC code variant that applies to the ghost that occasionally appears, and he'll have an option to restore all the grass in your town.

Additionally, if you REALLY wanted, you could make a pattern and put it on the ground to cover everything up, but the problem is that you'll inevitably pick up a lot of them if you try to run. Plus that would take forever and be a total pain in the ass to do, and I'm not even sure you can replicate the design.

[io]

So wait, the grass does grow back??

I, think... I'll need to do some real experiments - like take pictures before and after and all that. It does seem like it is coming back where I planted some flowers though.

[ratzombie]

Quit being so anal. [-(

[The 7th Number]

Anyone have good turnip prices?

I dont mind the dirt, in fact i want to run paths into my grass. :)

I was thinking the same thing about Wisp the ghost. Also, Wendel the Walrus gives you a design that replicates the grass, but it doesn't match it exactly. It's still nice, though. I was using it to cover up the dirt, but I ended up getting annoyed picking it up a lot, and it not feeling authentic! That picture was hilarious, by the way.

[Filler2001]

Just paid 2.5m for a mask...

Hmm. I didn't know this. I'll def start putting my flowers in the big ass lots of nothing :lol:

[Daisydog]

Blue, I have the Ankylo Skull, Apato Skull, Plesio Torso, and T. Rex Torso. Let me know the next time you play and I'll come drop them off. And Randall, we need to reunite the cats.

[BlueLobstah]

I'm actually online right now. Town's open.

Trying to get all these fruits out of these many trees...

Edit: Sorry buttle, don't know what happened. I'm opening my gates again.

[nbballard]

My turnips are 157. That's not great, but the AC economy has been rough this week with everyone having store closures. Anyone need me to open for that?

[ArthurDigbySellers]

I, think... I'll need to do some real experiments - like take pictures before and after and all that. It does seem like it is coming back where I planted some flowers though.

Excerpt about the grass stuff from one of the Iwata asks interviews with the Animal Crossing CF devs.

The surface upon which your characters walk in the Wii version of Animal Crossing is double layered, with a ground layer, and a top layer. The top layer has, for instance grass. This grass can be depleted as you walk, revealing the ground layer.

The game replenishes the grass a little bit at the end of each day, said Kobayashi, but if you were to, for instance, walk every day from your house to a shop.... Iwata finished for him: you'd end up with a trail.
Nougami took it from here. If you were to do nothing but fish, you'd end up with a cleared path from your house to the water. Areas such as bridges, which everyone accesses, have lost their top grass level.

In the case of a mom that likes to fish too much, Iwata suggested that you can discover this by simply following the path from her house. Kyougoku added that you can also use this feature to find a friend's home when visiting a village. There's no need to read a map.

Getting specific, Kobayashi explained that it takes about two weeks of walking before you start seeing a path. For a completely clear path to be formed, said Moro, it will take around two months.

The rate at which the grass grows back depends on the surroundings, explained Kobayashi. If the path is surrounded by grass, and trees, it will grow back faster. Iwata joked here that the game has assumed the element of a plant simulation.

The rest of page two of the interview session had the four joking about players potentially feeling lonely when they see the paths remaining around the homes of people who've left their village. With time, these paths will grow back and your memories of that animal will fade. Eventually, the grass will be in full growth, and you'll have forgotten who lived there.

Yeah, it doesn't help that Tortimer wants to pass a 14 billion bell bailout (say that three times fast) package for Nook's.

So, basically, it helps so you don't need the map? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
I thought it was running, not walking.....

This is really stupid. Why is Nintendo ruining all these games anymore? :(

[Filler2001]

I have 13 moons at my gate from X5 day, a full orchard, a fountain, and a ton of Xs I dont feel like digging up. Gates open

[Strell]

Ffs, just sell the game and the system if you're going to use this kind of hyperbole.

[io]

Yeah, that path thing all sounds wonderful as described in that quote but I think they screwed up and it is "turned up" way too much. The grass gets ground down so much you really can't see any specific paths any more. The idea of a path forming a in very heavily trafficked areas is a decent one but it is simply overdone. You can't see any single path to anywhere in my town except the obvious places (down the ramps and along the river). The rest of the areas are just patchy mixes of grass and ground.

[Doomed]

I'd come, but I still have a shitload of homework. :bomb::bomb::bomb: Maybe we can meet up this weekend without spending like an hour at K.K.'s? :lol: One can get an golden/silver axe by throwing it in another person's fountain, right?

It's not even just "so much" that bothers me, it's also how QUICK. We had this game not even a month yet.. it shouldn't look like we've lived here for YEARS now.

[lilboo]

All I needz is a classic wardrobe!!
Hand job is available!

[dmunkee]

Alrighty Janet, I got the kitten. Let me know when you have your gates open so I can bring her over.

EDIT: Sorry Janet, took me forever to find her :(

Yeah, some parts of this game move too fast. I think Nook upgrades his shop way too fast.

[Daisydog]

Ha ha, I was wondering. :lol:

no, but if I get an extra silver, Ill send it your way. Also, whether we like it or not, we WILL be at KKs, followed by 3 hours of tag XD.

[Beccaree]

Some pictures from my day..

Ran into some trouble when I was making my snowman..

http://i36.tinypic.com/2wntr39.jpg

Got it on my first try which is a miracle since I hardly have any snow. :bomb:
http://i37.tinypic.com/hsq7ph.jpg

Pipe I shot down today.

http://i35.tinypic.com/349arzd.jpg

My girl, Agent S with her complete outfit. She got the pants/top from another animal today. It makes the same sound as the helmet when you put it on. :)

Got the snowman clock today. :applause:

[Knoxximus]

Nooks was closed for me today as well, so I spent the day unloading bushels of my native pears at Jason's while stocking up on his bountiful cherries. Then popped into visit Alex at Mordor, who was having a free for all at the gate. Thanks to him, I FINALLY have a closet to keep some of my junks in. Thanks Alex!!

Rounded it out with a brief visit with Becky, Romeo, and Janet. Can't remember who's town it was. I was busy getting my turnip monies together for Sunday.

So many good people in here....my experience with this game only gets better and better every day. And now that school is finally out, I can REALLY get down like I want too!

[io]

Hey Becky, it was always my understanding in the GC game that you should make the head about half the size of the body. In that picture it looks nearly the same size! I was finally able to track down both snowballs and make one and it was close according to the snowman himself, but not quite perfect. I definitely had the head smaller in relation to the body though.

Also, I confirmed that the snowballs do regenerate if you break them (or push them in the river). I remembered in the GC game if you lost one you wouldn't get another and had to break the second one. i could be wrong on that, but for the life of me I couldn't find the second one but my son thought he had broken one earlier. So I just pushed the one I had into the river and went around and found two new ones. It may help to go in and out of a house or Nook's or something to get them to regenerate though - just to be safe. Sometimes those bastards are hard to find (one was behind my house and I just happened to run into it).

[lilboo]

:-k
So my (uneven) Snowman is still here.

WHEN DOES HE GO AWAY?
I want to build a new one?
..or, is this like a "once a week" thing? :-s..

[io]

In the GC game you could build a new one every day and the old ones will stick around for a few days before melting. So make a family of deformed snowmen if you like ;).

[KingBroly]

How'd you get the Mario stuff?

[nbballard]

How'd you get the Mario stuff?
you get them from shooting down presents.

[KingBroly]

And I guess presents still come around every 10 minutes on the clock like WW?

[alison]

Turnips are going for a whopping 45 bells in my town...ugh! :bomb:

[nbballard]

I'm starting to worry that I should have jumped on the 157 i saw yesterday...

If we are still failing to get good rates late friday- anyone willing to TT until they get a good rate for us?

[homeland]

140 bells for me today... might jump on this if no one has a better price today..

[KingBroly]

Nook's buying 'em for 144 in my town right now if anyone's interested. But that's only until noon.

Also, is there any way to stop a neighbor from moving out of town in this one like in WW?

[nbballard]

Also, is there any way to stop a neighbor from moving out of town in this one like in WW?

I think if you go to their house and just keep nagging them the option will appear. I had Clyde in my town, and wanted him to leave. He started talking about leaving, and i felt guilty and asked him to stay, but it only took a week for him to pack it all up again.

Speaking of neighbors- how long do they stay sick for in this game? I had to get Cookie medicine 3 days in a row.. I was starting to think she had AIDS.

[KingBroly]

I think a week. I ask about the whole leaving thing because Alice is packing her things and I don't want her to leave.

[nbballard]

I think you just have to go in their house and keep talking to them, eventually they will ask if they should stay.

[BlueLobstah]

Mine are 220~ something this morning. I didn't have time to save and leave my town open. I'll have to check again tonight.

[nbballard]

Regarding the lost keys- are those always in the river? I had to find Rolf's last night, and it was a pain.

Anyone have a Jagged Shirt in their inventory? Someone keeps nagging me about one.

[KingBroly]

That's funny, because I just had to find a key myself. Caught a couple of fish too.

[The 7th Number]

Lets see...Today...

Nook was buying turnips for 46 (before noon) :bomb:
I made a snowman and he said some unkind words so Shaqfu him. I hate snowmen. (ps i made one yesterday too)
I hit the 3rd to last and last bag from the money rock with the silver shovel. So one bag was 8,000 bells. That was cool.
All the trees i planted yesterday are growing except one. Which is good.
I also cleaned up on some fruit runs now that i have a lot of fruit trees growing.
Ill check in after 12 and hopefully nook has some decent turnip prices.

[Beccaree]

Sometimes those bastards are hard to find (one was behind my house and I just happened to run into it).

It does look the same size. I swear it didn't look that way when I put it together. Odd. I'll pay more attention to the size when I try it today.

[shinryuu]

220 is a good price for turnips.. but I guess you won't be able to open your gates for that price. =[ I hope someone hits 500 again. =D My Nook is closed today. =[
Regarding the lost keys- are those always in the river? I had to find Rolf's last night, and it was a pain.

Anyone have a Jagged Shirt in their inventory? Someone keeps nagging me about one.
I think I have a jagged shirt. I wont be on till later (afternoon PST), but yeah... I'll try to mail you it, unless you want me to visit.

[Strell]

Quit making snow men, people. They scare me. :[ They are going to take over your towns and slaughter all the residents.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Edit: Piss off, Nook. You can give me a better price than that.

[The 7th Number]

Now nook is selling for 43! At this point im willing to sell for anything above 93, the price i bought em at.

My first snowman looks smaller than what i remember it. So maybe they melt away?

Oh and tiffany is still thinking over if she should move. She asked me again today and i told her to move. So maybe it takes a week of deciding, then she will move?

[lilboo]

When I woke up he was selling for 73. :wall:

Hopefully he's over 100 when I go home. :-s
Then again, there's still tomorrow morning and tomorrow night..

Between ALL of us..THERE'S STILL HOPE. I SWEAR!

[Strell]

Also, is there any way to stop a neighbor from moving out of town in this one like in WW?

I remember in WW that you'd go into someone's house and they'd have everything in boxes, and you'd have to talk to them for a good ten minutes telling them to stay before they'd change their mind. You'd have to go through all these conversations, usually repeating, until one real specific option came up, and when you said to stay to THAT particular one, the neighbor would get a ! over their head and finally say something to the tune of, "Oh gee you really do want me to stay, huh?"

As for this game, the only time I've seen someone think about moving is precursored by them alerting me. You know when you run around and occasionally a neighbor gets a ! above their head and makes a little sound, and then they run up to you and wait until you acknowledge them? They've done this to me a few times now when they are thinking about moving. But I tell them not to and they change their minds instantly.

So - so far - whenever one of them thinks about it, they definitely tell me, and it only seems to take one "don't go" response to get them to stay. Which I personally prefer since in WW if you screwed it up once, they'd be outta there. I have yet to go into someone's house and see them boxed up.

In the GC version, could you even stop people from moving? Or was it completely out of the blue? I remember just getting letters declaring they were gone, no rhyme or reason or warning.

This reminds me: I really like how they fixed the problem where a neighbor wanted to talk to you, but you'd walk into Nook's and screw up the meeting. Now they sit outside Nook's and wait for you to come out! That is a tiny thing but it's brilliant that they included it.

[lilboo]

Can you get the villagers portraits again like in WildWorld? :-s

Do they also set times to come over your house and chill with you?

[Strell]

Do they also set times to come over your house and chill with you?

I haven't had one come to my place, but I did go to their's once after we'd set a time.

I think we fumbled around and he kept saying IF YOU FIND ANY SNACKS DON'T EAT THEM.

Actually, I sincerely think the game totally forgot all about it. I walked into the house and I don't remember them really giving two craps I was there.

[dallow]

I do think you can get the portraits of neighbors.

I've had them come over and criticize everything about my place. :(

[nbballard]

lol- nobody has asked to see my turnip farm of a house. It looks like some sort of wholesale grocer.

[The 7th Number]

I had a villager want to come over to my house. But they didnt show. I dunno if you have to be inside, or out front of the house when the time comes for them to come over.

[homeland]

well my nook is buying turnips at 143 .. if nothing comes up better tonight. I'll be cashing in and, will leave the gates open so others don't get totally burned on turnips. Lets just hope something better comes up!

[Strell]

Nbbaballard - one of my neighbors said that if I plant a tree in your town, I'll have an easier time getting fossils.

I might have to do that.

[nbballard]

I left my lunch at home today and i'm tempted to go home and lunch and check my turnip prices... not really worth the drive though, not to mention I'd just be ticked off about it.

Shinryuu- I think you're on my friend list, but we haven't been to each others towns. Can we still mail stuff? i thought it required some interaction first.

[lilboo]

Wow, is that true!? I can't find any fossils :(

Lemme come plant a tree in your town later!

[meerkatgamer]

Can you get the villagers portraits again like in WildWorld? :-s

Do they also set times to come over your house and chill with you?

The animals usually ask you if they can come check your place out and you pick the time also I'm not sure on portraits, but I think there's none on gamefaqs and a animal crossing fansite forum people been saying there is none.. :cry:

[oemor]

the animal pictures you usually get from the villagers in WW are gone from the game boooo

[nbballard]

Yea- the "plant a tree" thing was my charm for December, didn't know what it would do though. I've got to attend an office Xmas party, so i won't be home, but i'll open my gates before i leave. I probably won't be on until about 6.

Feel free to plant a tree but do it AWAY FROM NOOKS! Preferably, cut down a preexisting one, and replace it, but i don't really care. There might still be a stump or 2 hanging around you can take care of too.

[Miranda]

I haven't had one come to my place, but I did go to their's once after we'd set a time.

I think we fumbled around and he kept saying IF YOU FIND ANY SNACKS DON'T EAT THEM.

Actually, I sincerely think the game totally forgot all about it. I walked into the house and I don't remember them really giving two craps I was there.

I visited a neighbor's house during the agreed upon time. They'll welcome you when you walk in. After you talk to them a few times, they'll let you buy a piece of furniture in their house similar to flea market day. They won't offer to sell everything though. I tried to buy a gyroid, but Dotty said it was her lucky piece of furniture at the moment (or some other excuse), so she wouldn't sell it to me. After I bought one piece of furniture, it wouldn't let me ask about buying anything else.

I keep missing the times when animals want to come over to my house, so I don't know how that works in this game compared to WW.

[nbballard]

Humm.. i wonder if they'll sell fish.. Cookie has the 2 fish i missed last month on display.

[The 7th Number]

I played hide and seek, and won. Got some kind of wallpaper.
Found a scallop to give that otter. He gave me a Keg. Took a while though, had to pick up all the other shells and sell them, finally a scallop showed up.
Someone wanted me to catch them a tuna, so i said no. LOL
Another person wanted a barbel steed so i said yes and caught that one pretty fast.
I wonder if you say you will catch something like a tuna, if they will be more popular to catch. Then you could catch a bunch and sell most and give one to the person who wanted one. Just an idea. I only caught 2 or 3 in my AC lifetime.

[shinryuu]

I think you're right, but I'll check if I have the shirt first. =p

[lilboo]

COME ON PEOPLE!! WHATS THEM TUNIRPZ GOIN FOR?!!?

:waits:

[Beccaree]

turnips are 33 in my town! omg! :cry:

[The 7th Number]

I bought turnips for 93 and i dont even think its been above that price for the whole week in my town. :(

[BlueLobstah]

For those of you who want to bail out now with turnip prices, my town is currently at 176. Since I will be afk, you can visit and dump your turnips under these conditions:


Don't trample flowers.
Don't cut down trees.
Don't remove patterns I have lying on the ground (mario face). Yes, they are there for a reason.


Take as many cherries as you need though, and don't take anything else unless you really need it. Thanks!

i'll be hitting your nook blue.. Thanks!

For those of you who want to bail out now with turnip prices, my town is currently at 176. Since I will be afk, you can visit and dump your turnips under these conditions:

Thanks i stopped in and sold all my turnips. Made 166,000 bell profit. Paid off some of my house, and saved 200,000 to buy more turnips sunday.

[Strell]

:lol:

Massive damage.

[io]

the animal pictures you usually get from the villagers in WW are gone from the game boooo

Wait, what, no portraits? That was an awesome addition to the DS game. Why would they remove that? Well, damn, there goes all the incentive to keep sending presents to some of the better animals in my town. I've been buttering them up with the hopes of getting their portraits. Bah...

I checked my before noon prices and they were seventy-something. I may just take up Blue's offer and dump mine there in a bit. I guess I need to check my afternoon price first though.

Oh, and I was able to make a perfect snowman today. Yeah, the head is just a little smaller than the body - seems different than in the GC game at any rate. I'd say make it about 2/3 to 3/4 the size (in diameter).

[nbballard]

I'm away, but my gates open for those wanting to plant a tree- just don't steal my pile of shirts in front of Able sisters- it's not a sidewalk sale.

[lilboo]

67 for turnips :lol:

I made a perfect snowman. YAY!
It's a shame I don't have much snow! This is SO innovative!!!!

[Daisydog]

I'm 2 for 2 in snowman building :bouncy: The present for today's isn't in yet but I received the Snowman wallpaper for yesterday's.

Turnip prices were 193 this morning and 133 now. I'm still holding out. I feel like Saturday is the day. Anyone else with me on this? :lol:

[lilboo]

Me! I figure I'll wait till Saturday night to see what we all have..and just sell at the highest. Hopefully the highest is at least over 100 so I can make some profit

[simgizshad]

I'm 0 for 2 on the Snowman...I keep making the top the same size at the bottom. Today for the first time ever I got nine stars. I have played all Animal Crossing games and have never gotten that many in one day.

i'm 1 for 2 on snowmen. and i'm tempted to make him all wrong tomorrow just for fun.

as for the turnips. your crazy. i gave in with 163. and i had to leave town for that. my town hasn't been higher then 123 all week. but tell us what you find tomorrow, i'm rooting for ya.

oh, and a friend gave me one of his old keyboards. so i can finally keep up with the conversation.

[io]

PLEASE LET THEM BE GOOD Io! I DON'T WANT TO BE POOR ANYMORE :cry:

:rofl:

55 - that has got to be a record low!

Needless to say I went and cashed out at Blue's town. Though I did save 5 more bundles in case anyone hits the jackpot tomorrow. Last week I cashed them all out at 200 and then we had those 300 and 500 prices. In any case, I was able to pay off my house so I can get a second floor. So I ought to have that tomorrow. I needs it for all my junk and stuff.

How long does it take to get the snowman prize? I played about 6 hours after my last session where I made the snowman and I had nothing this evening...

I found a genie lamp by my river. I know it has something to do with the ghost. What do I do with it?

[kellehair]

I hate to say this but I let everyone down this week. I had turnips selling for 462 the other day but I was too busy to invite anyone in. I'm just lucky I had enough time to check and sell my own.

You have to find the ghost and give it to him. He'll grant a "wish." I know he can remove weeds but I forget the other options. Might give you a present in the form of furniture or something.

Kellehair/BK: No big deal. :] Coulda used it though!

I found him once. I believe it was pull weeds, get rid of roaches, or a furniture item.

[meerkatgamer]

The fishing tournament is this Saturday I'm excited maybe I'll be lucky this time and catch me a big one.

[dmunkee]

Dammit, I had two snowballs, one rolls off the bridge and melts in the water, and the other rolls off a cliff and breaks :bomb:

[Knoxximus]

Me! I figure I'll wait till Saturday night to see what we all have..and just sell at the highest. Hopefully the highest is at least over 100 so I can make some profit

[The 7th Number]

Finally caught a Koi. Now the only fish i need is a Stringfish.

[Rig]

My charm is for somebody to catch a koi in my town.

I haven't caught one myself. :l

[io]

Dammit, I had two snowballs, one rolls off the bridge and melts in the water, and the other rolls off a cliff and breaks :bomb:

As I mentioned a page or two back, they regenerate, so just go find them again. You may have to enter/leave a building for that to happen. But my kids lost a few and I intentionally pushed 2 in the water and I was still able to make a snowman the same session.

[kellehair]

Anyone started the fishing tourney so far? The first fish I caught was a 35.3" Sea Bass. I'm currently leading my town's tourney.

[lilboo]

Well my morning turnips are 106. Hopefully, the afternoon ones are better!!

[nbballard]

Anyone started the fishing tourney so far? The first fish I caught was a 35.3" Sea Bass. I'm currently leading my town's tourney.

I caught a series of smaller fish to get prizes- then turned in a 39in Black Bass. I knew those jerks were good for something

Turnips are 53 today... ugh..


Can anyone enlighten me on Catching a Dung Beetle? I keep seeing them fly off- but i don't know where i'm supposed to aim the net.

[lilboo]

I caught a 59.1 inch Pike :whee:

[Knoxximus]

Well my morning turnips are 106. Hopefully, the afternoon ones are better!!

This. This is how people go broke in Las Vegas.:lol:

[shinryuu]

My turnips are 112? 11-something. Guess I'm gonna roll the dice and wait for the afternoon prices. =/

nbballard, do you still need a jagged shirt?

[lilboo]

Someone is guarenteed to have a DECENT price today. I paid 100 bells a turnip..so anything over that I will settle with...

:pray:

[Strell]

I caught a 59.1 inch Pike

We wanna hear about how you're doing in the fishing tourney, Lilboo. Not your personal life.

SOMEONE SHOW ME THE MONEY FOR TURNIP PRICES

[kellehair]

This frustrated me for awhile too. Sneak up behind the snowball, opposite the direction it is moving. You'll see the little bastard exposed then.

[homeland]

sorry couldn't help you "risk takers" 75 bells for turnips.. I have the lead with a 44.1 sea bass.. you think thats secure?

[nbballard]

This frustrated me for awhile too. Sneak up behind the snowball, opposite the direction it is moving. You'll see the little bastard exposed then.

ok.. i've never seen mine move- just seen the bugs fly off...


oh- and 53 bells for turnips... nnoooooooo! Some one save me!

[Bezerker]

Hah, Turnips are 36 bells in my town...

[Daisydog]

75 here. So Tom has the highest price for now?
Anybody else? :whee:

edit: I'm trying to get to someone's town for 150 (another board), but I don't know how I'd get all of you guys in :-#

[FallMoon]

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k240/FallMoon/Mineisbiggerthanyours.jpg

Top that!

[Beccaree]

my turnips are 28. I had no idea they could even go that low. I'm cursed. :shock:

[The 7th Number]

I turned in a sea bass that was 46.7 inches, and was saving my pike for later, cos i figured it would top any sea bass easy. But it turned out the Pike was only 41 inches. :bomb:

[Doomed]

This is why you people should have joined me yesterday selling turnips at 402 bells. :booty:

Sure, I lost 20k, but I have many times the profit % than you.

[dembesum]

I am considering getting this game. I have enjoyed the other AC games and I might get it if my friend do.
But... there' a lot more non-casual games that I might conider, even though I would most likely enjoy this more.

[lilboo]

:rofl: This is pretty sad if I have the highest at 107..
But let's wait for a few other people to post..

[nbballard]

Snap Snap people! Where are Strell and Filler?

[Strell]

Mine are at like 67. I said I probably wouldn't post my prices unless they wuz gewd.

[lilboo]

:rofl: This is awful.

[Daisydog]

I made about 100,000 selling for 150. Same time next week? :bouncy::rofl:

[dmunkee]

I tried to off Ruby earlier today. It didn't work.

LOL! That's pretty funny.

I'm currently in the lead with my 46.3 inch sea bass in my town. I have a pike in my pockets that I'm saving for later in case an animal beats my record. I hope the pike isn't a small one like The 7th Number's was.

I'm glad I sold my turnips at yesterday's afternoon price of 157 Bells. Nook is only buying them for 71 Bells right now.

[FallMoon]

That's the best picture ever. But you aborted the snowball :cry: It could have been a snowman!

The snowballs regenerate, though!

How often do snowballs regenerate? I've had bad luck with 'em the past few times. I'll find them, but end up losing them, repeat. Which is why I turned to attempted murder by avalanche.

I champion Dmunkee's drive in eliminating the Snowman/Ruby menace.

Again:

OH GOD FALLMOON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/Einzell/demonSnowmans.jpg


Someone must have a turnip price I can use to break even. Please.

[Daisydog]

That's funny Randall! Poor Ruby :lol:
When I got back from visiting a town on wifi my snowballs were in a different spot. Too far away for them to have been pushed there by dung beetles. Try going on wifi, or just save and end your game. When you come back they should be there again.
-
Taking a break from fishing for now. I'll turn in the tuna a couple of minutes before the tournament ends. That's at 6pm, right? And I've been trying to get a picture of the sea bass being eaten alive (there's something so satisfying about that).

[doctorfaustus]

Turnips are 139

100k to get in.

jk

[Strell]

Doc, open up.

Breaking even is better than nothing.

Whoever can laugh at us for not getting in on 420, but I see it as steeling myself against the Gamefaqs menace, which is a fate I will not lower myself to.

[MusicNoteLess]

Morning turnips were 120, then dropped to 100. I sold the majority of my turnips early and kept about 10% for the afternoon just for Shiggles. Only made 50K this week. :(

[kellehair]

I just turned in a 70.3" Stringfish. That should be good enough.

[nbballard]

I think I ended up making 60k thanks to the kind Doctor.

I had about 320k invested though, so it's still a bummer. I still plan on investing heavy again tomorrow- but if i get burned next week, i'm moving back to fruit.

[shinryuu]

Turnips 132, not much an improvement over Doctor, but at least I don't have to make multiple visits to his town when I can sell it at my Nook's. =d

[Strell]

Shin, open gates?

[io]

Turnips are 139

100k to get in.

jk

Did we add each other, 'cause I'd love to get that now? 78 in my town :bomb:.

I saw no one open when I looked just now.

Edit - I guess not. I'm adding docfaustus and shinryuu right now. Hopefully I can get to one place or the other!

Edit #2 - Thanks, Doc, dumped the rest of my 'nips!

[Strell]

POS 86420 error...I can't connect to Lud to save my stupid turnip monies.

[nbballard]

When I was in Lud, I noticed that his Gate was different than mine. Is that random?

Also, dumb question 2- How often does Redd's stock change?

[Strell]

This is absolutely infuriating.

I can't get into Lud.

Who else has a break-even price on turnips? 100 or more?

[shinryuu]

Sorry, can't get to my Wii right now.

[oemor]

When I was in Lud, I noticed that his Gate was different than mine. Is that random?

Also, dumb question 2- How often does Redd's stock change?

there are 3 different gates the grey castle, the pink castle & the barn which i have & hate which i think are given at random

also i believe redd gets new items every wednesday

turnips going for 136 in my town opening gate for awhile if anyone wants to come over....

[M-PG71C]

I been playing for a while now but I have not went online yet. Anybody want to go online? I want to see how it is like, and get some new fruit as well.

5456 - 3025 - 5840

Fruit = Pear

I also have a spare Mario flagpole if anybody wants it, I won't charge for it. All I ask is bring in some fruit, I need to harvest for money bad. :P

[Strell]

Oemor, I'm coming over. I think I'm already in your FC list.

MP: I'd like the Mario flagpole. I have all the fruit varieties. Hopefully I can sell turnips at oemor's and then maybe we can meet up. Gimme 20 min or so.

[M-PG71C]

That's cool man, I'll be watering flowers anyway. :D

Let me go on and register your friend code. :)

EDIT: Err....I'll just wait instead. It asked for a town name but the one provided in the master list is clearly made up. It doesn't fit. :P

I think redd changes stock once a week. I bought all of his stock the other day and he isn't going to be open again until the 17th.

[M-PG71C]

Oh yeah, turnip prices are 179 at my town if anybody needs to sell at the last minute.

[M-PG71C]

What name/town you input does not matter. Once you visit each other, the correct names will be added.

Oh, okay! That works out actually. :D

[Strell]

Filler needs to fix my entry in the OP. The town name is Tazmily.

Either way I'll be showing up in a few min with some fruit - I'm just waiting for the fishing contest to end (in about 3 minutes).

[Filler2001]

Shit.........I wish I was here for yesterday, and Ill have to TT for the fishing tourney, but fuck, it's pure shit over here. Last night central MA got hit with an ice storm, trees are all over the place, and power lines all over the ground. 300,000 homes are out of power in MA. The governor says the earliest for places is monday, but my area got hit so hard Im not going to school next week I think. Im writing this from my uncles to say why I might not be on for a while, and that Im going to have my gates open all night (though it will appear right after 6 EST then) starting in a few hours. Im also putting all of the stuff I dont want at the gate, and have a full orchard and fountain going. Hope to see you there, my OP will be updated later (sorry :( ) and I have a lot to shit to deal with. I will be on the computer though, and on CAG, until morning.

[The 7th Number]

I won my fishing tourney with a 46.7 inch sea bass. I turned it on with 15 or so minute left before it ended, and none of my other sea bass were bigger, but i did catch two tuna fish which i cashed in, instead of having them measured and eaten. My prize will be mailed to me. :)

Oh and in case anyone was wondering Nook was buying turnips for like 35.

[M-PG71C]

That's cool, I'll go on and get some stuff ready.

EDIT: I added in your stuff and the gate is open. :)

[Strell]

MP, got you added in. I'll wait a few minutes and see if I can find your town gate. Gots plenty of fruit for ya.

Won my contest with a 42.8 sea bass. I seem to have no large fish in my town at all. Haven't had one good catch outside of a koi in the last several days.

[M-PG71C]

That worked out well! :P Thanks man!

Now it is time to put those damn trees up. :D

[Daisydog]

I caught three tunas today but won the tournament with a sea bass. Take that Vesta! I put the tunas inside my house which now has 6 tunas, 2 lobsters, 2 coelicanths and a few other fish :lol:


I'm watching a movie Joe. Maybe later tonight.

[JoeB1233]

Daisydog, get off AC and get on Brawl.

*flee from angry AC'ers*

But, somewhat on topic, have you guys downloaded the Wii Speak Channel? Is it functional at all or is it poor?

I love catching the tiny fish because they are always worth some solid bells.

I sold my turnips for 77 in my Mom's town. I decided to take the loss because I knew I wouldn't be able to play again until late tonight. I won the fishing tourney with a 105.5 tuna that I had been saving for a week. :)

don't forget to add stuff to the auction house if you'd like

i added a pretty nice antique clock.

I think it just comes down to screen size, the quality of the screen captures are going to be the same quality. Its not going to depend on what kind of tv you have.

[Strell]

Lilboo I might stop by. Depends if people are playing Brawl right now.

You got component cables/480p? I didn't think they'd be a big deal, but even with the crappy graphics on the second
BEST GAME EVAR!
(Endless Ocean)
it makes a difference. That could be it. I assume you mean the quality and not the ratio similar to Becky, otherwise I'ma come to your house and kill you for stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9.

[lilboo]

I do have the component and set to 480p.

Man, I spent like an hour+ today with my flowers and you 2 assbags stampled on quite a few. :wall: :wall:

::note to self: No opening gates for some time now::

[Filler2001]

I hooked you up with 99k boo....

[lilboo]

i know :grouphug:

I'm just trying to get as many hybrids, and I had them arranged a certain way :lol:

[Filler2001]

I have 174 'nips if anyone forgot to sell

[Filler2001]

Sorry.....74

[BlueLobstah]

I'm getting hybrids, but they're always orange pansies. :cry:

[Filler2001]

Trying to get gold axe........fountain is starting to piss me off

[The 7th Number]

How do you get hybrids? I have a couple flowers that are the same kind, different color, planted right next to each other. Is that how it works?

[lilboo]

7th, they don't ALWAYS hybrid. Make sure they are watered.

Also, to better your chances, put them together diagonally.
For example if you were to do 2 flowers.
X = Space
F = Flower

FXX
XFX

And so on, and so forth. This gives more room for a hybrid to appear. ALSO, they have to be the same breed of flower ;)

Keep in mind, not all the colors mix. Red in all flowers will merge with other 2 colors. Yellow and White, however, don't always go with each other OR 2 yellows or 2 whites. There's a guide online about what colors will make what for each breed of flower.

The roses are whats up.You get a lot of different color and you can even hybrid the hybrids :D

[Filler2001]

Hey boo, wanna play in 30 or so? I got Nookingtons, and a bunch of crap I dont want at my gate. Just let me finish my fishing tourney...(Missed out so TTd back to have some of the action)

[io]

Yay - I won my fishing tourney with a 46.5 inch Sea Basstard. For once when I was ACTUALLY looking for Sea Bass they were hard to find though :bomb:.

One of the animals had a 43 inch one and I kept getting within less than an inch until finally I got one that went way over. I also had a Tuna in reserve that I would have dropped in there at the last minute if I didn't find a big enough Sea Bass. I got the record with about 10 minutes to spare and just kept bugging the guy to make sure no one beat me out ;).

During the fishing, though, I missed a rare fish. I say it is rare because it took the first bite and despite my being pretty quick on the reelin' in, it took off. It was slightly smaller than a sea bass. What could that have been? (It was in the ocean and it was not snowing so for sure it wasn't a Coelacanth).

[KingBroly]

So I bought a measly 200 Turnips this morning for a little over 20,000 bells (103 each). I could buy more, but I don't want to shake down trees because I'm currently trying to grow some. I'm hoping to get at least 60,000 bells out of this investment, maybe 80,000. I've pretty much figured out that you have a 100% chance of growing a tree in this game as long as you don't step over it at all while on its' first day. After that, you're gold.

I also bought a Red Turnip, but I forgot how long those stay alive for.

[kellehair]

Water the red turnip every day and sell it to Nook this Saturday.

[io]

Water the red turnip every day and sell it to Nook this Saturday.

Wait, have you guys been able to buy both white and red turnips at the same time? I've tried buying red turnips the last two weeks while getting the white ones and she says she's out of them. What gives? I know no one else in my game (ie, one the kids) is buying them. I thought maybe it was a one-or-the-other type of thing.

[shinryuu]

It usually means someone else is buying it. I know my brother buys it before I do and after that, thats when Joan says there's no more red turnips. Iunno, you might want to check again with your kids.

Lost the fishing tourney against my brother. For it to be a fair contest, we decided to only use sea bass. Gah. His fish was 46.7 in, my longest was 46.5. Booo.

[nbballard]

anybody got a good turnip price? Mine are 105.

[homeland]

think i'm going to skip on turnips this week, leaving for my parents extremely early friday morning. don't want to risk only playing the market for 4 days

[lilboo]

Mine are 108. I bit on them, wasn't too bad.
Bought 2000 of them and crossing my fingers.

We finally ended up donating enough for a new bridge.. :lol:
Now that we both voted, how long does it take for the bridge to show up?

[Knoxximus]

Turnips are 110 here. Blah.

[Miranda]

My turnips are 102. Boo! I just bought red ones, but I might buy 10 white ones just to let spoil since I haven't caught an ant yet.

[nbballard]

My turnips are 102. Boo! I just bought red ones, but I might buy 10 white ones just to let spoil since I haven't caught an ant yet.

I tried that this week, and left them in front of the town hall, but when chip showed up they got moved into the Lost and Found.

I didn't realize what had happened, and took them out and sold them.

You've always been able to buy both every week in every Animal Crossing game. She's clearly lying to you. Time for you to bust out the shovel.

[shinryuu]

Hm, I should do that. EDIT: haha, I meant the ant thing. Not busting out the shovel.

Turnips are 103 in my town. Bought 6400 turnips... filled the whole basement...

[Miranda]

I used to do that with turnips in AC:WW. I'd put 9 bunches of turnips out in front of the town hall where special characters would show up. Then once a special character visited the turnips would be put in the lost & found where they'd never spoil. It was a great way to hold low priced turnips until Nook had a good buying price. Since Redd came to town once a week in WW, I always had a chance to get my turnips in the lost & found.

I don't know if they'll never spoil in AC:CF's lost & found. I haven't had a chance to try it out since it's kind of rare when characters set up their structures in front of the town hall.

In wild world that happened when the DS time and the game time were desynched. Is your Wii set to a different day? It could also result in Nook never buying turnip for a high price.

edit:
Maybe it is the result of time traveling? I just tested this, kind of. My AC clock is 13 minutes behind (Wii time was off when I first started the game. I set the game to the correct time then, but when I went back and set the Wii to the correct time, it caused the AC clock to be off by that much). Well I turned on the game and asked Joan for red turnips, she had some. I saved and then set the AC clock ahead 13 minutes to the correct time and talked to her again. She said, "welcome back" but then she said she was sold out of red turnips :lol:

They say to always time travel by changing the console's clock and not the in game clock, because then bad things start happening. But I didn't want my Wii and AC clock to be set to different times. That could cause unwanted things to happen too. We'll see if this is permanent #-o

[The 7th Number]

I bought 2900 turnips @ 108 per. Hopefully i can find a price around 400+ this week. :D

[MusicNoteLess]

Turnips are 94 here. Joan will be here for another 2 hours. I'll leave the gates open if anyone wants to buy. I'll be AFK.

[Strell]

Open up your town, MNL. I need turnips.

[Doomed]

As do I. Except I already have ~550k worth. I just need moar.

[oemor]

Turnips are going for 95 in my town opening up for anyone who wants to cop any & its snowing finally

[Strell]

oemor I'll try to stop by, assuming 86420 errors don't bite me in the ass.

Interesting. My son is playing and found Joan and yeah, no red turnips. My white ones are 104 too... I guess I just missed going to other people's towns, too, unless they have it set up differently.

Yeah, in AC:WW I would set the DS clock. In this one I'm setting the AC clock. I'm not really time travelling, just keeping it a few hours behind so Nook isn't always closed when I play at night. I suppose I could just change the Wii clock and sync them up. I mean, who the heck cares if the Wii clock is off by 2 hours :lol:.

I'll try that before I play and see if that makes Joan sell the red turnips after my son was denied.

[Left Hook]

Rookie question... when me and my girl take pictures in the game and save it on the SD card, how do you see it? Or where does it go? It seems to disappear... we checked the data from the wii menu and didn't see anything on the SD card. Thank you... that snowman looks crazy, how in the world do you do that?

[MusicNoteLess]

Sorry about that guys. Looks like I got disconnected from the WFC when I was out doing errands.

[Filler2001]

I got some TTing to do tonight for a gold axe...Ill post if I get 200+ prices

[buttle]

i cheated for the first time today. i worked till noon and i really wanted turnips. i checked online to see if anyone had their gates open with a later time, but my online was having trouble.

so i just went back in time and bought my turnips. there were at 107, so not a great deal. but i'd be really sad if i didn't get to check turnips prices all next week. so i spent everything i had on them. 150K i think.

Go to the photo channel, you can see them in there.

If you want to upload them, they get saved in a folder on the card that any PC could read via an SD card reader. Then you'd transfer them to a service like Photobucket or whatever to have them hosted online.

7th is correct also - I just wasn't sure what you wanted to do exactly with your pics.

[Filler2001]

If anyone remembers my last fishing tournament, it was a smashing success. Everyone came home with prizes (winner getting rainbow feather and 75k), and I decided I wanted to do it again. I'm scheduling this baby on the 31st at an unspecified time EST. Ive wanted to do something for the CAGcrossing holidays, and I think I've finally found something that everyone will enjoy:

CAGxing Mega Million New Years Fishing Tournament

The thing about this tournament (fish catching) is that you actually have to win your way into being a part of this tournament. But why do you even want to be a part of it? It will probably have 1 stupid prize, an Ok prize, and a slightly-above-average prize. Right? Wrong. You see, the thing about this one is that this one has prizes that you actually want, with my third place prize actually surpassing my 1st place cash prize of my last tourney. You see, the prizes are:

3rd Place: 150,000 bells
2nd Place: Midna's Mask

And it wouldn't be a "Mega Million" tourney without a first prize of:
1,000,000 bells. That's right. 1,000,000 bells.

But how can you get such a prize? You have to enter by December 26th at 11:59pm EST And it only applies to people in the OP by December 20th at 11:59pm EST (If you sent me an add since then, and haven't been added, you are eligible as well). "Winner's" will be announced December 29th and the tournament takes place December 31st at an unspecified time (for now) EST. I will select randomly, and there is no entry fee. You enter by PMing me that you wish to be entered, and you will be entered.

edit: In OP now

[lilboo]

Hey Filler, are TTing around? Any good turnip prices :lol: 8-)

[Filler2001]

Hey Filler, are TTing around? Any good turnip prices :lol: 8-)
Haven't started yet. For the axes, Im rotating between a thursday and friday, the two best days, so there is bound to be something good coming up.

[nbballard]

If your going to TT, why not just deposit all your money in the bank and TT way into the future and back. Collect the interest.

[Filler2001]

Because 1 year and 1 day is a big difference in terms of weeds

[Doomed]

TTing=weeds. Kinda a PITA if you can't find Wisp.

[io]

Well, I set my Wii clock and AC clock to be the same (just 2 hours less than real time). I'll leave it there for the week and see what happens. But after I got back in the game Joan still said she was sold out of red turnips. Maybe it is because she first appeared when the clocks were out of sync - so I'll have to see what happens next Sunday.

Can someone explain the golden axe thing to me? What is this with fountains and time travelling and Thurs/Fri being good days? I guess it isn't like the DS game where you had to trade a red turnip to someone and trade what they gave you to someone else, etc, etc...

[Filler2001]

Fountain: Unlocked after you donate 500,000 after getting the bridge (750,000 total)

Gold/Silver axe: Throw an axe in (once a day), and you have a small chance of getting one of these axes.

TT: Time traveling-used to get axe speedily

Thursday and Friday being good days: Refers to turnip selling. These days are almost always the turnip high point and if I rotate the axe chances to some chances CAGs can get great selling points, everyone wins

[The 7th Number]

If you throw an axe in and it doesnt turn it silver or gold, do you at least get it back?

PS i tried to throw it into i think Tom from Memphis' fountain and it wouldnt let me.

[Filler2001]

She can take the axe away too. It all depends on luck, how you answer her questions, and some sort of karma thing I don't quite understand yet.

Ah, thanks - you had me confused there with all the axe/turnip discussion mixed up ;). It will be a while before I get a fountain, unless someone comes through with 500 bell turnips this week. Even so, I only bought 800 or so, so I won't make that much - will pay off my upstairs. I want to do the house first before donating to the town fund.

In other news, my kids made a snowman today. Oh yeah, not in the game, but in real life ;). Around here they only get to do this once every 3 years or so.
