Animal Crossing: City Folk - Gen. Discussion and info

[quote name='greyzieoriental']Nice list crunchewy, I will be adding the people on the list as well when I'm not so lazy, maybe tomorrow when I check prices.

Also I have all fruits, Pears, Cherries, Oranges, Apples and Coconuts (pretty sure that's all of them?)[/quote]

Don't forget the peaches!!!!
 
[quote name='VioletArrows']Nook is buying turnips for 187 this afternoon. If you want to jump on it, PM me, because every time I open my gates no one shows up, then my connection dies, I forget, and lose all my progress. You used to be able to save when the gates were open. -_-*[/QUOTE]

If you point the wiimote at the right corner you can save when the gates are open (thanks romeo) unless they did an update?

and I do have peaches too, forgot all about them
 
My DH and I just hooked up internet and are playing Animal Crossing. We would like to try it out and visit another town - is anyone on that has open gates?

AC Friend Code = 0388-3794-1284
Name: Daddy
Town: Anville
 
I updated the unofficial active players FC list with your info, unique12u/Daddy, even though now we will be in for confusion. Which Daddy is it? Ah well. When I started playing I hadn't even been thinking of the online part of the game, so of course when my kids wanted me to be Daddy, I was going to be Daddy. :) Is it possible to change your name in the game? I don't think there is, but I never actually checked to see if I could.

I also added Wa-Keen/Joaquin to the list, who is most definitely still active, as proven by his visit to my town last night and my subsequent visit to his town. Thanks Wa-Keen! Next time hopefully I'll have more time to visit your town.

unique12u - I'll add your FC tonight, so please add mine (see the linked to list above for my info: crunchewy/Daddy).

Last night after folks left/I returned there was a big fish out in the ocean which bit after one nibble but I either reeled in too quick or too slow. Either way it got way. I presume that was something good. Darn. Oh well. Do you catch coelacanth in the ocean or in the streams? Also there was a balloon that floated by, but I left my slingshot in my house. Darn again. However, while I did have visitors (converse, Daisydogt and Wa-Keen), I did find a magic lantern, then later found the ghost and got my wish, which turned out to be a nice red, electric guitar. Woohoo!

The unofficial active list is now up to 30, so I'll PM folks I've not got hearts for when I get a chance and see if they are really still playing. If I don't hear anything soon I'll take them off the list. I think in order to add unique12u I'm probably going to have to take one off of my in-game list anyway.
 
I was able to play with Edrian, Paul, Romeo, Morgan and Alison last night. Caught 2 football fish in a row in Edrian's town. Thanks again Romeo for hooking me up with the fossils!

I'm adding people later today to my friend list. I will be on later this evening, so feel free to stop in!
 
Yeah, last night was pretty active. I still want to thank Romeo for catching a coelacant. I have been trying in my town to get one for weeks and he does it within 20 minutes...:wall:
 
[quote name='crunchewy']In the ocean or in a stream? Where do you catch them?[/quote]

Ocean during snow or rain
 
I added everyone who contacted me via PM or said in this thread that they added my info. I still have quite a few folks from ACC that I literally never see online and would be glad to boot off my list and replace with CAGs that are actually actively playing, so let me know.
 
[quote name='ProfWho']Ocean during snow or rain[/QUOTE]

To add to your answer, also only during evening to early morning hours (4pm-9am).

I know that it was previously mentioned in this thread, but for all the AC:CF newbies, a fantastic resource is http://accf.wikispaces.com/. I also have the Prima guide, however, this site has info on it that the guide doesn't cover, so it's a great stand-alone guide or supplement.
 
Thanks for the info folks! I'm a tad hesitant to go to that site because I don't want *everything* revealed to me at once. I want it in bits in pieces as needed. However I bookmarked it for when I inevitably give in. :)
 
I added you to the unofficial active list, Beccaree, and I'll add you to my own game's list tonight. Please add me (see the list for my info.)

Somebody else may have to get the boot to fit you in (I'll find out), and I've still got some non-hearters, so if anyone has been slow on the trigger, you might want to act now. :)
 
Hoping to be on tonight (I'll have to see how the wife is feeling, still hurting from surgery), probably around 8est. I'll leave the gate open.
 
[quote name='greyzieoriental']so what's the solid heart mean and what's the empty heart mean?
I have an empty heart next to beccaree[/QUOTE]

A hollow heart means you've both added each other to your friend code lists, but neither of you have visited the other's town. As soon as you see each other it will be a solid heart. I'm not sure if it will turn to a solid heart if you run into each other in somebody elses town or not.

There may be other complicating factors with regard to when you get a hollow heart. I mean, I wonder how quickly, after two people add each other to their lists, that they get hollow hearts. It's a bit mysterious if you ask me.

EDIT: Folks - another update to the Active FC list. This time I removed Ski Hawk/Nick. I PM'd and heard back from him/her. Ski Hawk says he/she does not play any more, so remove them from your FC list if you've added them. See my sig for the link. EDIT2: Oops: you need to know his game name, which was Nick, town Minot
 
My gates are open if anyone is interested. I'm looking for a town to hop to at the moment too. Nookway is selling a special kitchenette thing that is red, and I have flowers available for sale. Turnips are only 82 bells right now. It just started snowing too.

Crunch, did you get your lamp, or do you still need one, because I got my order today.

Thanks! I added you. I will be playing tonight. (Maybe around 6:30, 7 central time) Who else is going to play? I'd love to go visiting or open my gates. Turnips are 127 in my town today.

you're on my list. I'll be on tonight. :)

Yeah last night was really hoppin'. I left my gates open and went afk to watch a show that night (Smallville). When I came back I was surprised to see my town filled with people (3 is a lot!) Btw thanks for the fruits! I think I have evey kind now. I should've taken a few pics during the time since there was a meteor shower event and everyone was there :bomb:.

Anyways I added Beccaree, unique12u, Wa-Keen from Crunchewy's list. Hope to see more of you online :)

Edit: It started snowing at my town so if your after the Coelacanth fish just stop by and try your luck ;).

I added you.
 
Converse - I don't know yet if any lamps are for sale at my Nooks today, but probably not, so I hope to see you online. I'll be on in a little bit. I'll check for open gates and will otherwise open mine.

Why can't you just order one? You'll get it instantly if someone visits you.
 
Gates closed, hopefully open them again tomorrow night. I think I've got everyone from Crunch's list added (double check tomorrow, that was a lot of names added).
 
Actually later realized I did have a lamp in my catalog - the robolamp. For some reason didn't think of it. I'm not sure I wanted to spend that much on Lucy, though. :) In any case converse made it to Romeo's and I got the lamp - thanks converse!
 
Dang, I'm always busy the night where everyone's on with their gates open, how sad :(
I still need to add people, so if you've added me please pm me and let me know, its hard for me to know if you've added me or not haha.
 
So yeah...I'm pretty much done with Animal Crossing. I played it every day for 2 months straight, but for the past month, it's just been me going through the motions, and I can't take it anymore. No DLC, no more upgrades I can do, and I'm tired of digging for stuff and watering flowers. And the City...haven't been there in a month. So yeah, it's time for me to go back to De Blob.
 
I now understand the fountain/golden axe...
Sucks that I missed out going to everyone's town last night.

My able sister's store has a crown for a million today, if anyone wants it PM me and i'll open my gates later tonight.
 
Paul, Janet, and I had quite a time fishing last night. After the whole issue of understanding the "suicide" missions that Janet completes in SSBB, that is :D

I've caught everything in January for fish but the top 3 rare fish, which is frustrating. I need a quicker trigger finger, because I know I had one of them on my pole and lost it.

I'm still trying to unload a couple of my wife's turnips today, only 74 bells in my town unless there is an afternoon surge in the prices.

Hey Crunch, do you need the lab bench? I bought it for you since Nookway is having a 5x points day. If not, I can just sell it.
 
[quote name='converse']Hey Crunch, do you need the lab bench? I bought it for you since Nookway is having a 5x points day. If not, I can just sell it.[/QUOTE]

I already have it, but thanks! What I already have are the lab bench, lab chair, unknown machine, lab wall and lab floor.

I'll check our turnip price for you in a bit, but our turnip prices have been absolutely terrible all week. Yesterday it was 43 bells!

EDIT: Ha! I thought 43 was bad. Try 32 bells today! :)

I finally got my perfect town rating today. Which means I should have my golden can by Valentine's Day if I can keep the rating that way for 15 days.
 
[quote name='Beccaree']What does it mean when they say you need more greenery?[/quote]

More trees and/or flowers.

In my case, I have trees all over the place, but I planted a few flowers in a couple of acres and my rating went from:

"Hmm... it's not a passing grade, but it's not a failing grade either.
I'd give it a D plus. Maybe a C minus on a good day."

to:

"Fantastic! Newgrove is in great shape right now! Yep, it's pretty sweeeeet!"

It also helped to map out my town on paper to see which acres needed work. I found it easier than trying to lay down a bunch of patterns. Pic:

it must be trees . I'll plant some trees tonight. I have flowers everywhere. I have no grass though. I hope bare ground doesn't count against the rating or I will never get a good rating. Thanks for the picture of the map. :)
 
this really helped me when getting my perfect town its from animalxing.com, each acre has to have these for a perfect town

0 trees and 27 or more flowers
1 tree and 25 or more flowers
2 trees and 23 or more flowers
3 trees and 21 or more flowers
4 trees and 19 or more flowers
5 trees and 17 or more flowers
6 trees and 15 or more flowers
7 trees and 13 or more flowers
8 trees and 11 or more flowers
9 trees and 9 or more flowers
10 trees and 7 or more flowers
11 trees and 5 or more flowers
12 trees and 3 or more flowers
13 trees and 3 or more flowers
14 trees and 3 or more flowers
15 trees and 3 or more flowers
16 trees and 5 or more flowers
17 trees and 7 or more flowers
 
Hey guys,

Ive been away for a while but I havent given up on the game yet (No buyers XD). Ive been working at something over the last few days which Ive finally completed. I managed to actually make my town a barren wasteland. My trees and fruit are gone, my stumps and Xs cleaned up, and only buildings are left. It was such a big job that I requested a few FAQers help me finish up tonight for a million bells. Anyone wanna see it?
 
this is just odd, it keeps resetting after I open my gate.

Crunch, I am not being rude, the game just keeps resetting and giving me an error 85010 a few seconds after I open my gate.

Error code 85010 is still plaguing me. It has bee a half hour now and I still get reset every time I open my gate.

I figured it was something like that. No problem. Hopefully just a temporary wifi/network problem. I actually saw you briefly there for a moment and then, poof, you disappeared. I'm wiped out anyway.

After giving up I did a few chores and came across Blanca, whom I think it was Kilraven who commented on while here with some funny comment and now I see why. That's pretty dang funny and this is a pretty cool feature I didn't know about. It seems that Blanca is a character that travels from town to town and you get to draw her face. My cousin had drawn her face while she was in his town and, well, it was pretty rough looking. Whoever gets her next, I feel sorry for you, because I didn't do much better. :) I'd love to hear where she ends up next. Is this new to City Folk, or was Blanca in Wild World?
 
Not only can I not open my gate, but I lost my snow too so no Coelacanth for me.

According to her trophy in Smash, Blanca was in WW too.
 
Ohman, i wish i could go on AC right now, but my brother yet again has friends over and their watching tv hahah. gosh.
whenever i'm on i have my gates open, but no one ever comes and visits me :( haha. and no ones ever on when i go on either haha.
Only once did i visit Janet.
 
[quote name='Beccaree']you're lucky. I've had this game since the day it came out and I haven't had Blanca yet.[/quote]

I've never seen her yet either. I used to see her a lot in the GCN & DS games.
