Eguchi Interview with new info (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/891/891149p1.html)
Quote
IGN: Can you give us an idea of the connectivity between the Wii and DS versions of the game? We saw that option right next to character select during our demo.
Eguchi: Addressing the connectivity between the DS and the Wii, if you have Animal Crossing on DS, we're assuming you spent lots of time with that character and might be attached to him -- his name, outfits, look -- so you'll be able to load that character into the Wii version and use that same character as you did in the DS game. Another thing we can do is use the DS as a means to help people who maybe don't have Wi-Fi. We've talked about Wi-Fi and how neat it is to travel from town to town and interact with friends, but if you don't have an internet connection you can take your character data and send it to your DS, bring your DS to a friend's house, and upload your character to play around in his town and interact in the same way you would if you had a direct connection t them in Wi-Fi. The third thing we've done is add the ability to download new content as they become available online -- which will help expand the universe with new furniture and things like that. Now if you don't have Wi-Fi, you can take your DS to -- at this point it's still being determined exactly how -- but an out of house destination where you can download the new content, and then bring it back to your home town and upload it. That way everyone can stay connected to the Animal Crossing world. New game, same idea.
IGN: Just to clarify on the DS to Wii connectivity and the "friend' s house" idea you mentioned. Could players bring their DS over and play their character on their DS while their friend is on WIi playing with his in the same town, or do you upload the character and run around solo in their town?
Eguchi: Yes, let me clarify that. When you take your character data over via the DS, you're not using the DS to do any of the controlling. You can use that mode to explore the other player's town independently, but you can't play at the same time. To do that, you'll need to connect via Wi-Fi and run around with one, or two, or three of your friends as we showed earlier.
Hopefully you can import GC saves as well...

IGN: We're curious about a few of the other "Wii tricks" out there. You can send screenshots to email or cell phones or other Wii users as we heard. Have you considered working with an independent Animal Crossing channel, or interacting with other Wii components such as the Wii Weather Channel and having whatever region you place your town be affected by real-world weather?
Eguchi: In relation to Animal Crossing and Wii channels, we have no plan to make a specific Animal Crossing Channel, no. As far as your idea on the weather channel and linking it to your own town, it was something we thought about, but upon looking at it we came to the conclusion that Animal Crossing is its own world. Let's say your location of the world was a place where there was rain all the time; then your Animal Crossing town would always have rain too, and one of the things about this game is that seasons change and activities change with it, so we didn't think that it would add a positive element to the Animal Crossing world if it was limited like that.
No real-time weather?! Fucking bastards!!! Sega can manage real-time weather, but Animal-Fucking-Crossing can't?! Ridiculous! It's its own world? Yeah, right, it just happens to be its own world based on your local time! Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!

What we're considering with the downloadable content is that it will be an automatic, free service. It will not be pay to play.
Hooray! I'm really glad that they're doing downloadable content, and not expecting us to pay real money for Animal Crossing furniture.

I actually agree with him about that. If it used real weather, I'd never get snow in the game, and all the seasons would be basically the same.

Bah I'm not disappointed, the weather channel is, for me at least, inaccurate most of the time.
Yep, what shammock said re snow.
What I would like is for a southern hemisphere option to be available. Therefore it'd actually be summer and therefore hot in December. This would increase Wifi usage as well as northern hemisphere peoples could, during their winter, take the trip south to collect insects etc.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Morari on July 16, 2008, 11:38:28 PM
They could have included an option to use real-time weather or not then. What about when the passage of real time in general becomes a problem? A lot of people work during the day and thus never see anything but night in Animal Crossing. The development team doesn't seem to have a problem with that though.
I thought that Animal Crossing would be the thing to finally make the Weather Channel worth having on the console, but no, it's still just a waste of space.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Spinnzilla on July 30, 2008, 04:01:28 PM
It's nice to see some more footage, but I have to wonder why they only updated the visuals to a small extend. AC has an awesome art style, but new hardware should equal a step up graphically (for most nintendo games that is).
Other than that, I really don't have any complaints against the game. It still has the animal crossing "formula", which is oddly addicting. And wiispeak with my friends will be fun none-the-less.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: DAaaMan64 on July 30, 2008, 04:05:04 PM
Well I'm a little concerned because I really didn't find Wild World nearly as addicting as the first Animal Crossing.
Either I got tired of the formula already or something else.

We know from the interview in the second post that you can transfer your character from the DS version of the game, but this makes it sound like you can transfer your neighbors as well...
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: ShyGuy on August 22, 2008, 08:15:25 PM
well. that's a nice feature, but on the other hand, this makes me think that the A.I. and the behavior of the neighbors isn't going to be any more advanced than the DS game. I would like to see my neighbor's have more complex relationships with me and each other. A different sub plot for each one would be cool. (Like Blather's relationship with his sister and his fear of bugs)
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 22, 2008, 08:17:21 PM
Though I don't expect any large jumps in character A.I., I don't think that this is evidence of that...I mean, many of the characters in the DS version of the game were from the original, so it's by no means surprising to see that all the characters from the DS game will be in the Wii version...
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

That's exactly what I thought!

Why would you even consider playing a game like Animal Crossing at PAX? Even if it looked new it's not the kind of game you're going to learn anything about from playing it for that short a time.

For those interested in this game Nintendo plans to bundle Wiispeak and Animal Crossing:City Folk for $70.00 and they also plan to have the game by itself.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: DAaaMan64 on September 08, 2008, 02:10:12 AM
70 bucks? wow I hope they sell it separately or something. Or other games supporting it come out asap cause AC isn't worth 70
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Kairon on September 08, 2008, 02:16:09 AM
Yeah, as much as AC owns sections of my soul, a $70 price tag is a shocker no matter how you slice it. As a value proposition, I guess I'll be getting the Wii Speak / AC bundle, but it still induces sticker shock.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: DAaaMan64 on September 08, 2008, 02:22:37 AM
No kidding. I was honestly thinking 50 bucks still.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

I stated that they would sell it separately also.:) The only other game that I can think of that developers are going to implement is The Conduit.
Kairon it is a bit pricey but for what you get it is a good value.

I was really hoping that Nintendo was going to give Animal Crossing a little cheaper of a price, but I guess not. With this being (or at least seeming to be) practically the same game as the N64 version, you would think that the lack of effort on the part of Nintendo would be translated into a cheaper game for us consumers. Oh well.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Spinnzilla on September 08, 2008, 09:32:16 AM
I don't see what's the big deal for paying an extra 20 bucks for the bundle. I actually think that's a very reasonable price.
Now charging 10 bucks for extra wii wheels is a little much.

What do you mean lack of effort? I'm willing to bet that AC has been in development for a year and a half! It's been confirmed since forever, and the head guy's last game was... what? Back in 2006?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Nick DiMola on September 08, 2008, 01:26:04 PM
Well what the hell have they been doing for the past year and a half besides remaking the same damn game for a different system? It seems their additions are quite minimal and ultimately disappointing. The game has ENORMOUS potential and they fail to realize an ounce of it.
Seriously though, if they have spent that much time on this game everyone involved needs to find employment doing something else. Unless of course there is some huge, unannounced portion of the game that really sets it apart from the other two, then I rescind my comments.

This sums up my feelings on the subject.
Unless there's some HUGE new portion of the game, it just won't be worth it.
And the potential the game has is just insane. I remember playing the GC AC and whenever the villagers would say something along the lines of "Wouldn't it be great if we had a movie theater here in town?" my friends and I would all say "I bet it'll be in the sequel..."
I had fun with WW on the DS, but most because my friend and I turned it into "Furry Crossing" with all of the off-color letters we'd send to each other's villagers.

KEY INFORMATION If life were an endless vacation, what would you do? Go fishing, collect shells or watch fireworks with friends? Build a snowman, exchange presents with family or decorate your house for the holidays? Take a trip to the city, go on a shopping spree or visit friends from all over the globe? In Animal Crossing: City Folk, life moves at a relaxed pace, but the world brims with endless possibilities.
* There’s always something new to do. In the living, breathing world of Animal Crossing: City Folk, days and seasons pass in real time, so there’s always something to discover. Catch fireflies in the summer, go trick-or-treating on Halloween or hunt for eggs on Bunny Day. If you’re in the mood for something a little faster paced, take a bus to a new urban city area that’s unique to Animal Crossing: City Folk. There you can catch a show at the theater or check out the sales at Gracie’s boutique. But if you don’t show your face back home for too long, your neighbors will miss you.
* Up to four people from your household can live and work together to build the perfect town. Design clothes and patterns, write letters and post messages on the bulletin board for each other, or invite up to three friends to visit your town using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With the new WiiSpeak microphone, it’s like you’re all in the same room. The microphone sits atop the sensor bar and picks up the conversation of everyone in the room to encourage a more inclusive experience.
* Get to know your neighbors. The heart of Animal Crossing: City Folk is building relationships with the animals in your town as well as with other players. Befriend your animal neighbors by exchanging letters, gifts and favors. Animals can also move from town to town, bringing their memories and stories from their old towns with them. And since animals are notoriously loose-lipped, they spill all the juicy details.
* Express your personal style. Customize your town, your house and yourself by collecting bugs, fish, fossils, art, furniture, clothes and accessories. You can also go to the salon in the city to change your hairstyle and get a Mii™ makeover. Plus, if you design clothes in the tailor’s shop, animals will wear them and maybe even bring them to other towns.

I much prefer AC: Let's Go to the City (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/15/new-animal-crossing-gets-name-change-in-australia/). Why the Aussie name change? This may be the one time where the name for us is actually better, granted the US name is terribly boring. I should be excited for this but I haven't seen anything yet that has aroused me in any way.

So far, "catching a show at the theatre" is the only new activity in the entire game that I've heard about.
My GF is getting this for free for being a GS manager, but I wouldn't be buying it otherwise. I just don't have the patience to pay that damn raccoon 5,000,000 bells and then having nothing to look forward to but the collectathon of bugs, fish, furniture, etc.
AC is a decent game to play once or twice at most, but they're going to need to seriously add something else to do to convince me to come back for a 3rd time.

Nice try. I was actually referring to AC not being very different. In other words, yesterday's coffee. Don't take it too seriously.
I like this expression. Consider it stolen.
I watched the trailer and there was ONE neat element to it: the cafe is now larger and seats 4 players as they watch KK perform, which is something I think the game should've always had.
Still, the main gripe with AC for me will always be that the game is bursting with potential, so much so in the GC version that the animals even talk about how neat it would be if your town had a movie theatre or a swimming pool, yet there's obviously no way to add them to the town. There's so much more that the game could offer a player to do but just never makes that extra effort.

Unless there's something else to do in a group, then I'm not sure if the multiplayer really IS improved.
If they let us hunt for scorpions and tarantulas in a group instead of them all vanishing whenever other players are in your town, then that might change.

seems that this is/should be a possibility.
with taking away the nintendo games, it seems this is almost a downgrade from the GCN version. seems that animal crossing should/could have been nintendo's answer to sony's 'home'.

If people came into your town and you could play VC games with them online, THAT would be something.
Here's an idea: why not have Nintendo "celebrities" visit your town on rare occasion, like Mario, Link, Fox McCloud, etc. might randomly show up for a visit one day and you could chat with them about their lives and they'd share interesting tid-bits about their own games, like Mario might comment about how pipes can take you crazy places and Captain Falcon would talk about how much he enjoys relaxing in (your town name here) because intense racing is very stressful.
You could even spend the day with them, maybe they'd even ask you to show them around town (since you're a townie) and you could take them fishing, take them to get a coffee, to meet the mayor, etc.
I know it's way too much to hope for, but I think it would be awesome if it was included.

Here's an idea: why not have Nintendo "celebrities" visit your town on rare occasion, like Mario, Link, Fox McCloud, etc. might randomly show up for a visit one day and you could chat with them about their lives and they'd share interesting tid-bits about their own games, like Mario might comment about how pipes can take you crazy places and Captain Falcon would talk about how much he enjoys relaxing in (your town name here) because intense racing is very stressful.
Hahaha, that'd be awesome...Though logically, if they DID appear, I think they'd be more fitting as cameo appearances in the city...

Socialising and communicating with friends and family has just got easier – and more fun – as the new Wii Speak accessory and Wii Speak Channel are launched for Wii across Europe on 5 December 2008.
Wii Speak enables people to connect to and communicate with friends using the free-to-use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection* in a way that is very socially inclusive. Wii Speak can be connected directly to the console and pick up the conversations from an entire room of people, meaning friends and families can all get involved in conversations, sharing gaming and social experiences together. It’s just like using a phone to make a call and chat with other Wii-friends: but with Wii Speak, everyone in the room can get involved in the conversation.
The new Wii Speak Channel, accessed from the Wii’s main menu, allows up to four console users – who can be anywhere in the world – to connect together to chat, or to share pictures and text messages at no extra cost. Once connected, the Wii Speak Channel brings user’s Miis to life: as users’ Miis represent them on-screen during their conversations. When players are talking to each other, their Miis also ‘talk’ to match the sound that is being picked up by the Wii Speak accessory.
Users have to share their private Friend Codes to be able to communicate with each other, which makes the experience safe and fun.
As well as enabling people to connect together through the Wii Speak Channel, Wii Speak also opens up a new world of social gameplay. The first game to use the full capabilities of Wii Speak is Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City, in which players can create and share their personalised worlds.
For the first time, friends can chat in the game and, as the action happens in real time and creates a world in which players celebrate real festivals and events, sharing the gaming experience over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on Christmas Day will be a uniquely magical experience, with characters and other players in the game all joining in the festive fun! Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City and the Wii Speak microphone will be offered as a bundle at launch, making a perfect gift for friends and family this Christmas.
In the future, Wii Speak will be incorporated into other Wii games, meaning that new opportunities can be created for social gameplay amongst the console’s fans.
Enjoy a whole new use for your Wii with Wii Speak and enjoy the chance to create – and talk about – the perfect world that you create in Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City on 5th December 2008, when they launch across Europe both as a bundle and sold separately.
* there are no fees or subscriptions to pay (Usual broadband line rental and Internet Service Provider costs apply when accessing the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection at home)

Is a wireless keyboard very necessary for Animal Crossing if using the Wii Speak? Of course the townies won't hear me cursing them out on ocassion- and that's a good thing, but do you think it would be really worth a purchase of a keyboard if you don't have one already?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on November 03, 2008, 11:33:13 PM
Well I think for me it isn't really worth it because I am quicker with the Wiimote than with a keyboard. I have a USB keyboard and I used it on the internet channel and it was a hassle. There is one custom made for the Wii.I saw it today.BRB

I actually use my PS3 wireless keyboard on all my systems and it works like a charm since it uses a USB dongle. If anyone is wondering why I have a PS3 wireless keyboard because the original price was 69.99 but I got it for 24.99 new.

Post by: Pale on November 12, 2008, 12:11:23 AM
Just got the review copy and a Wii microphone and played tonight.
I have to say, I'm pretty damn depressed how similar this game is to the old ones. I haven't really come across ANYTHING that I truly feel counts as significantly new. The city is mostly made up of places that were occasional visitors in the old games, like Katrina and Redd, or variations on other things.
I caught the same damn fish in the same damn locations as before.
Working for Nook in the beginning was identical.
This doesn't feel like a sequel. It feels like a port of the same old game.
Hopefully something will happen to make me feel like it's truly worth it....
Also, if anyone knows someone who has an early copy, I'd love to test some online stuff. I'm trying to find someone. Maybe Bloodworth has a copy.
Also, I got a separately packaged Wii Speak microphone. It comes with a code to download the Wii Speek channel, but the instructions on how to do it lead to a dead end in the Wii Shop channel where the option they are telling me to press isn't there, and there is a sticker on the box that says "Wii Speak Channel Available in December."
So apparently no Wii Speak at launch of the microphone, so don't rush out to get one if you aren't getting Animal Crossing.
I really really want to like this game, but it's only frustrating me at this point. My fiancee was also stoked for it and was excited when I called her from work to say we got it.... she then asked me why it was the same thing as she watched me play the intro. :(

So no one can use Wii Speak until December? That really sucks I like Animal Crossing a lot, but I don't know about paying 70 bucks for a port that I already own. I will point out that over time Nintendo added small things here and there to Wild World that I enjoyed so maybe that is something that will happen with City Folk- but that just included furniture and nothing very significant. I hope you run into something new though.

Post by: decoyman on November 13, 2008, 12:08:09 PM
I can't get excited about this game. I got burned with Wild World's "more of the same" and hearing Pale's comments is doing nothing to re-kindle the interest.
It's sad, considering I loved the first one. But I think that had more to do with where I was in life at the time (living in the dorms, surrounded by people to live in my town and play with).
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Pale on November 13, 2008, 06:26:39 PM
Save file is 36 blocks.
Just played online with Bloodworth. Hopefully my terrible voice doesn't show up on Gametrailers.com =P
Voice chat worked quite well. We easily carried on a conversation. There was a definite echo though, so the ambient noise cancellation works just about as well as other microphones with the "feature"
When in each others towns there wasn't much to do together directly. We recreated the "fishing competition" from the press conference... in that we each tried to catch a single visible fish. Wasn't that entertaining.
There doesn't appear to be any way to go to the city with others, as the bus says "It won't be coming any time soon."
The whole process works just like the DS game... one person has to open their gate up and wait for the other to come. The game saves every time someone new enters... all that jazz.
Now that we're connected we'll see what happens with the few WiiConnect 24 features that are in the game.

Probably because they are going to do a Wii Shop upgrade in Dec, think about it for a second Pale. Animal Crossing in Europe comes out in Dec 6, Opera 2.0 supposedly comes out in Dec with supposed Wii Speak functionality which is like 2 - 3 weeks after AC in US comes out.

A Note About Moving Your Character From DS to Wii:
I thought I would be able to get over and cheat the HRA by importing my character with awesome rare items that I've been sporting in my old town so I pack my Metroid, Triforce, Arwing, Heroes Sword and my juke box with all my KK songs. I get on the bus, shoot the **** and get off the bus. I check my pockets and I have nothing! It's all gone! Those bastards lost my luggage!! :P

Post by: Smash_Brother on November 15, 2008, 02:25:53 AM
Potential can be a dirty word when it comes to reviewing games, but the fact is that City Folk has an amazing pedigree, and it was expected to carry the torch forward with comparable amounts of innovation that could live up to the unprecedented standards set forth by the ever-imaginative Wii. Some of the ideas posited include different (initially selectable) town environments, an open online auction house, collectible playable mini-games (multiplayer) to help replace the gaping hole left by the removal of collectible NES titles, all-new music, and a larger, more interactive city (get a job, stay the night, meet others online, etc.). Any of these things could have vastly improved the experience.
Even some of the ideas which were initially assumed to be included didn’t make it in. For example, you still cannot visit another person’s town while they’re away—unless, of course, you have the patience and logistical wherewithal to take advantage of the new “DS Suitcase” feature, which requires you to copy your town data to your Nintendo DS, place it in sleep mode, and bring it to a friend’s house while they connect to it on their Wii. What happened to WiiConnect24 and the prospect of an Animal Crossing channel? As an enormous fan of the series, it’s hard not to be seriously disappointed that the same innovative forces that led to the creation of the first two titles—and, in fact, the Wii—didn’t play a greater role in the development of Animal Crossing: City Folk.
Can't say I didn't see this coming, though. Ah well.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

Twice the amount of items is cool though I guess. Making a new game out of that is not.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Smash_Brother on November 16, 2008, 10:57:14 AM
The biggest kick in the teeth is the lack of WiiConnect24 support to allow you to visit towns while the players aren't there.
I mean, last I checked, that was one of the coolest features WC24 was supposed to offer.
I still want to try the game out, mainly because I loved relaxing with the GC version and squinting at a DS screen was just never the same experience.

I just picked this up a few hours ago with wii speak. Haven't been able to try out wii speak, but so far I've been enjoying the game. The changes aren't revolutionary, but I've been waiting for a console version of animal crossing for awhile, and for some reason couldn't really get into the DS version. I like the changes they added, but probably for most players it isn't enough to pick up the game.
I imported my DS character, which is a cool feature. I don't mind starting broke. It's just how the game goes.

So I'd like to hear some people's impressions of what's going on in the auction house for them.
When I was able to put an item up, I put a cow skull up. All the pedestals were empty except for one with my cow skull.
Now that we are in limbo between putting objects up and bidding, a new object is there... and it says it wasy put up by PGCLasse.
Now this blows my mind. It seems like too much of a coincidence to say that that isn't the european correspondent for this site. It's gotta be him.
The only person on my friends list is Bloodworth from the Game Trailers Wii. I'm soooo confused as to this. What determines what items we see?

Ok, apparently visible AH items are based off your actual Wii friend list, not your AC friend list....

I am not afraid to admit that I am bored enough to actually play this game a third time.
Yes, it sucks that this game is pretty much an HD port of the DS with some slight improvements. But its enjoyable enough that I WOULD play it again.
The last time I played AC was in 2006 with S_B. I then stopped playing the game and sold it to Gamestop last year.
Like any gamer who foolishly sells a game only to miss it a few weeks later I felt the hankering to mess with AC, but realized that it was gone.
AC does provide some great moments, like when me and S_B played illegal Mexicans selling imported oranges, or tarantula hunters.
Good times...good times...

AC does provide some great moments, like when me and S_B played illegal Mexicans selling imported oranges, or tarantula hunters.
But you can't hunt tarantulas with more than one person. They don't show up when someone else is in your town.
You can definitely pick fruit while dressed like an illegal alien laborer, though.
I know that. I meant the nights we kept searching Gamefaqs to see if the tarantulas were real. Remember how your ex-girlfriend was stung in the game? That's what made us look for tarantulas. You may have caught it on your game, but was definitely a satisfying moment.
Speaking of which...anyone knows if you can catch rare bugs while playing online?
I know that neighbors won't stay couped inside when other players visit and you can interact with them. You can also celebrate events while the neighbors are out.
Somebody really needs to do a list of the changes and additions in City Folk, especially when it comes to online play.

Doesn't Wii Speak on it's own cost 30 bucks? Because the bundle is going on sale on amazon for 40. I'd pay 10 bucks for this game.

We played a game of hide and seek today. Has that been in previous AC games?
You mean with the villagers or with other players?
If its the villagers, then no. You could technically play hide and seek if you were playing online, but you couldn't do it with the villagers.
And that tarantula video was pure win. Its freaky how it actually chases you if you pull out the net. But I think it was also a smart idea for it not to attack you till you decide to catch it. It prevents accidental stings, plus gives you time to approach it.

Yeah, it was with villagers. One of them went to get two other villagers and I had 15 minutes to find them and I got a prize for doing so.
And I'm actually kind of disappointed in the new tarantula/scorpion mechanics. I understand why they changed it, but at the same time, it makes catching them amazingly easy. Just get far enough away, pull out the net and they'll run right for you and you just need to press A at the right time.
The WW mechanics worked in such a way that the AI was quite random and unpredictable, which made catching them more fun/challenging. I was damn proud of my trophy room filled to the limit with cages containing scorpions and tarantulas in WW. I just don't know if it'll have the same effect in CF. :(

Yeah, true. When you caught it on WW it was a great moment.
But I still think its hilarious how it now chases you everywhere.

In the video the player put away the net and got bit afterwards.

Thus far, the new stuff I've found out about in this game:
-You can cycle tools by tapping left or right on the dpad and put away any held tool by pressing down. This is a godsend timesaver.
-Villagers will now play hide and seek with you in an event that will interrupt gameplay and have them hiding around town. You'll get a prize for finding them all.
-Insects will now react to your net being out. Not only will scorps/tarantulas be harmless unless you have your net out, but some other insects will flee from you.
-Villagers will lose their housekey and you can fish it out of the river for a reward. Their door will be locked in the meantime.
-You'll need an "invite" to bring someone into Redd's little back alley shop, and after being invited, Redd gives you one as well which is actually a letter you can send to someone.
-The Resetti lair is reachable. :)
-Introduction of "Silver" tools as well, which have different effects from their golden counterparts.
-Today, a villager asked me what I was up to and my reply option was "That 'Thing'" to which he replied "Oh, yeah, that 'thing'". I have no idea what I just told him, but I can only assume it involves yiffing.
-Looks like you can talk to animals outside their houses before they move out of town (you won't always find them with their furniture packed).
I'll add more as I come across them.

From what I read, if you make donations to the City they will add new stuff to your villages, like better roads, fountains and bridges.
If I am not mistaken, the bridges was something Mayor Tortimer gave you in the original game. I don't think this ever happened in Wild World, but I know for sure that the bridges, roads and fountains are new to City Folk.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 01, 2008, 03:25:51 PM
At some point in the first one, Tortimer showed up and asked where you wanted the bridge, but that was it.
****, this is actually giving me a reason to farm up some serious cash for a change. I can't care that much about my house, but being able to enhance the town is pretty meaningful.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: TheFleece on December 01, 2008, 03:32:39 PM
Great observations! I was curious if there was any redemtion for buying counterfeit paintings- in Wild World you can sell them to Resetti, but in City Folk you're stuck with them.

This is what you must do in order to earn the town features: A fountain built in town: Donate 500,000 Bells
A new bridge built in town: Donate 200,000 Bells
A windmill or a lighthouse built in town: Donate 1,000,000 Bells (there was a lighthouse in the original, but the windmill is brand new)
Oh, and remember how you wanted Nintendo characters to appear in AC? Well...technically...it can happen.
City Folk actually has brand new clothing items based on Nintendo characters, including Midna's Mask, the Varia Suit (Metroid) and even Majora's Mask. You earn them by saving up points with Nook.
It seems Nook's points are actually worth something in City Folk...
EDIT: Oh yeah, one new addition is that you can now design the front AND the back of your shirt.

Ah okay. It'd be really awesome if Resetti or someone else would buy things from you at a higher price than Nook because they wanted them.
This gives me a genuine reason to put my mad angling skills back into action. I'm yawning at the idea of paying Nook another 10,000,000 bells just to have more room for crap in my house so the Nazi Room Association can hold me up to standards I never cared about in the first place.
But donating it to the town to add features to it is something I've wanted to do since the GC AC. :D

I was wrong about something: scorpions and tarantulas are going to be just as much of a dangerous hunt as they were in WW, if not more so.
Not only do they charge you insanely fast, but they also will randomly not charge you when you pull out your net, meaning the random AI is still very much alive and well. :)

Better than that, as a matter of fact. You can design the front, the back AND both sleeves. In other words, there are four separate designs for each Pro t-shirt you make at the Able Sisters.
Also, about the other new feature that offers Nintendo-themed items for saving Tom Nook's points... here's the full list of them:
500 points - Banana (Mario Kart) 800 points - Triple Shells (Mario Kart) 1,000 points - Yoshi's Egg 2,500 points - Bad Bro 'stache (Wario) 3,000 points - Toad Hat 4,000 points - Peach's Parasol 5,000 points - Hero's Clothes, Varia Suit or Wario Hat 6,000 points - Hero's Cap, Samus' Helmet, or Majora's Mask 6,500 points - Midna's Mask (Twilight Princess) 10,000 points - Kart (Mario Kart)
I'm totally saving up for the Samus Aran outfit.

Because the view doesn't show the sky like in Wild World should we assume there won't be anymore shooting stars? Granted I run into a lot of floating presents, but I liked the wishing star since there weren't a lot of night activities.
Actually, you can tilt the camera using the D-Pad to see the sky. Indeed I had shooting stars on my second day, but couldn't find any way to wish on them. Anybody have any ideas?

My november one was to have a visitor plant two trees in town, which Bloodworth did, but I haven't heard back from him on if anything happened.
This month's is to have a visitor catch a Sea Bass in my town... Shouldn't be too hard.
Do they get something obvious for doing so? Or is it some sort of passive "luck" enhancement?

Just get the game at a cheap price (or ask for it as a Holiday present) and use Wild World to send your progress to City Folk.
To be perfectly honest, I was in the same boat as you. But then I remembered all the fun I had with WW and since I had sold it CF was the best option. From everything I heard, CF does have some improvements over WW, and has many new features that make it worth going back a third time. Just forget about paying Tom Nook and enjoy what the game has to offer.
Besides, its just a game. You either get it or don't. Nothing worth tearing yourself apart over.

Its not just that, I go thru this with all new games I buy because I know theres still so many left unfinished and I'm just wasting money. The reason AC is bothering me so much is I know how similar it is to the games i already have and neglect, so its mind boggling that I actually wanna spend money on it (and wiispeak) just to play it once the day I open it, and forget about it. Thats what makes it different than other titles I want to pick up but probably won't any time soon (like Skate it or the Korg DS-10)

Don't know if anyone has discovered this, but I was watching a detailed video tour of CF when they explained a new feature in town hall which I think is pretty neat.
When you talk to either Pelly or Phyllis at town hall one of the new features is called "I have a problem". This is actually Nintendo's way of censoring the game. When you select it, you choose one of your villagers. When you do, they will ask you what is the specific problem. The options given are: Bad catchphrase, bad letter or horrible clothes.
If the host is to be believed, this censors any questionable behavior you may have gotten while playing online.
For example, if you have a new villager that came from another village and his or her catchphrase was "b*tch", you select the "bad catchphrase" and it erases it. If that villager shows you a letter that confirms that the previous village owner was a closet furry (you know who YOU are...) you can delete that letter at the house. Finally, if the villager is wearing a shirt with the nazi logo on it you select "horrible clothes" and it reverts to the villager's original design.
Not a big feature per say, but its a pretty neat one, especially for parents who may have gamer friends with dirty minds and don't want their kids or someone else finding that (not to mention it saves Nintendo's skin if they get a complaint about it).

If putting a warning about epileptic seizures on the box and in the manual for every game doesn't save Nintendo from lawsuits over epileptic seizures, this won't do anything to deter crazy parents :P Plus, while it's better than nothing, you only have the ability to delete the letter AFTER your cute little daughter asks you what an anthropomorphic hermaphrodite fuckbuddy is.

I have a keyboard and Wii Speak, I use a PS3 wireless logitech keyboard for the game (USB dongle).

Logitech's Wireless Wii keyboard is just a small compact keyboard with a USB dongle or to me logitech's PS3 keyboard except white with a Wii logo a few buttons removed and no mouse trackpad lol.

And I think most USB keyboards will work, and I also expect that a USB hub will also work but I can't be sure.
I loved your town in how the river split off. My town is so boring compared to yours in its landscape!

Um any new details that was in Wild World like that painting on the ground stuff. Any new animals that run a store or give you things much like Guliver. That sea fairing guy that washed ashore of your town. Is there an island in the Wii game? Is that ghost in the Wii game that helps get rid of the weeds?In the GC game you could get items from Nook by giving him codes.Is that the case in the Wii game? Finally tell me about the city.

These videos should get you started: http://wiifolder.com/?p=132#comments http://wiifolder.com/?p=133#comments http://wiifolder.com/?p=134#comments
As for your questions... - The codes in the original version was Nintendo's way of pseudo online interactivity without any connection. It was used so players could trade stuff without connecting online. With WW and CF being full-fledged online titles the codes are no longer needed.
- Still no word if the Ghost appears in CF. Since CF is based on WW, however, and he never made an appearance there its likely he got canned a long time ago.
- Gulliver doesn't wash up on shore anymore. He appears on a flying saucer. If you hit it with your slingshot it will explode and land on Earth. When that happens Gulliver will appear dressed as an astronaut. He will ask you to find the pieces of his spaceship and will give you a rare item if you do.
- No, there are no islands in the Wii version. The only handheld connectivity is the moving van option which transfer your catalogue data from the DS to the Wii.

They do work, hell Rock Band 1/2 for Wii comes with a USB hub.
The instructions for Wii Speak say you need a powered hub and not one that draws power off a usb port. (I think I got that right) Anyways, you need one with a power cord.

I actually saw him on the first day of play...I was walking around my town the afternoon I got it, just trying to get to know my village, and found the lamp on the ground, wondering what the hell it was...Then Wisp's voice popped up out of nowhere later on, giving me a jump... ='D

The game is great fun even though it isn't a huge step above WW. The community aspect is better, and I do enjoy the town quite a bit, it gives the world more depth. Not to mention the standard AC formula still holds up great.

I think the main reason I really want to try this game out is i never got to experience either Animal Crossing title before this with friends. I never left my village on the GC and once WW came around, I thought it'd be easier since it was online but I got the game so late no one was playing it.
I'd love to try the game again and have the interaction available in this new version, maybe even try out wiispeak.

Also being able to go to a town that sells slingshots because Nook in your own town is being stingy with them (after watching like a hundred balloons drift by, natch) makes it all the more fun. Thanks Bill. =)
I might pick this up if i get my xmas shopping done soon... you guys better come to my town!
Of course I will! In fact, we should organize a CF get together, or maybe even a Christmas Party. AC is all about playing with friends, no one should be alone in CF!

I just visited DAaaman's village I got this cool Space station from his store and got some pears.He visited my town and got some oranges.He tried to give me a octopus but he couldn't. I think he has to donate it to my museum. I have no place for the space station. Also Daaman for the hats you have to go to the tailor. The place where you design clothes. Also if you visit the city you can get your Mii face at the Barbershop. You should visit the theater as well.A little note you have to close your gate to go to the City.

Today was big day for digging in Everlore. I got 3 fossils (all new unlike day before yesterday) and I got 3 gyroids (two were the same, but a neighbor gave me a fourth which was different). I had a seventh dig spot, but it was a pitfall seed. Bill said it could be 1 or more depending on the day, but when I kept finding dig spots and they were actual things, I was surprised.

Wow, I love how that review reveals all the new stuff in the game. It has more additions than even I thought. Also about the visuals, anyone that thinks they look like AC1 or AC: WW need to have their eyes checked. Yes they are still simple in design but everything is much smoother looking and actually looks pretty good at times.

The graphics are better. In fact they are very good, I really like the look of the game. However, it's still EXACTLY the same ****ing game, the only reason I don't mind that is that I didn't get too into the old ACs and have lots of new ideas for my town now, the game is still a giant scam and i'm glad it's flopping, it will hopefully send Nintendo a message.

Since I got my Wii back and have completely started a new town, I've just been trying to get my first loan paid off and accomplishing some of the littler things around Adatopia. BUT, when I asked Nook what prices were on Turnips (even though I haven't had a chance to buy any) he said 570 bells!
So, I've added everyone in AC: City Folk Friend Code thread and if you'd like to come and sell any turnips you may have at my town, I'll have my gates open sometime around 1:00pm (Eastern time) today and probably later tonight sometime - each for a couple of hours. I figure I might as well let someone enjoy the fact that Nook is buying them at an high price.
Here's my updated friend code stuff.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Bill Aurion on December 13, 2008, 11:58:17 PM
So what's the secret to making good snowmen. Do you get anything for it?
To make a good snowman you want the bottom to be about medium sized and the head to be just a bit smaller. Also when you roll the head onto the body you have to make sure it's centered. As a reward you get snowman furniture! If you make a snowman wrong they say some pretty twisted things. If a snow ball falls into the water or breaks just enter a house and when you come back out the snow ball will be restored but placed in a different spot.

So what's the secret to making good snowmen. Do you get anything for it?
As long as the head is about 2/3 the size of the base, it should make a "good" snowman. It takes a little practice to get a good eye for the right size for the head, but once you get it down, you can usually make a perfect one each day.
And for some reason, I have a real fondness for that stupid snowman furniture. I think it was the only complete set I ever actually collected in the original game.

This looks like a fun game to add to my list of Wii titles to buy, once I get a Wii. :-X I never picked up WW for my DS light, so the transition from the GC version should be great.
I went from the GC game to this and it is a nice jump.
That's what I did as well. I know a lot of people across the internet were complaining about there not being enough of a difference from WW to CF, but the transition from the GC game to this one was a welcomed improvement for me.

On the Wii Menu keyboard you can hold the B button to Shift and the Minus button acts as a Backspace, two features that would really be nice to have in City Folk's in-game keyboard.

I visited The NorthSea's village and it was fun. I gave him some wallpaper and a golden shovel. He gave me some cherrys and cocanuts. He also gave me a song.I didn't have any. We chat and fished. We talked while at the museum.He has a nice museum.He was helpful as well.

For the record, I did not make that Mega Man design. DrewMG had it displayed in his town (Whom he got it from someone who does Player One podcast or something...) and I've been rockin' that shirt. Its a sweet design, but not my creation.
The styles that I DO take credit for is "Da Mario" and "Da Link". Big ups to Fleece too for showing it at his Able's shop. 8)

Oh that DS game that you couldn't hear was Meteos.
I am going to take a break of visiting villages today. I visited 3!If you want me to visit your village tomorrow PM me. I want to at least get up to the second Nook store before anybody visits my village.
Oh Megaman wasn't yours DJ.DrewMG tell who you got it from thanks.:) I want to visit Bill's village so I can get Greeney.I want to put it up as a flag. I am heading your way Bill. I will visit EasyCure.

I'm really tempted to just pick this up on pay day this wed. but.. Does the AC+ Wiispeak bundle exist at all because I've yet to see it in any stores. I wouldn't mind a seperate purchase (i can send annoying voicemails to all your wii's like the one i got today) but the bundle would be the better deal.

The only place I've actually seen that bundle is at Best Buy. I don't know if they have it as an exclusive or I've just missed it at every other place I've been (which very easily could be the case).

Thanks! I'll definately try my luck there. I've been to Target, Circuit City, and a few other places I can't remember doing some xmas shopping, and I've always walked by the wii section to see if theres any deals worth checking out, and never see the bundle. Since I didn't follow the AC news much before and around launch I wasn't sure if it was ever official or not, and now that I'm seeing the grass is greener on the other side, I really want the damn thing and play on all your grass!

The bundle is a better buy because it is cheaper than buying the wiispeak and game separately.
I visited Bill's village. I got Greenie!It is currently on my flag.I saw some shooting stars in the night sky.GP was there when I got there.Insanolord arrived after me.GP was quite mischievous.

There are a lot of things I like better aboutthe GC one though.
For example,
I liked it better when there was a lost and found with a seperated police station. I don't like how the townhall and the post office are one place. I don't like that there is no dump, rathera recycle bin. I liked the dump.
Also, are there NES games in this one? That was serious bragging rights what NES games you had.

AH! That sounds so fun! lol
Two questions: Is anyone here using wiispeak at all? How do you take these snapshots i've heard so much about? Is it like Metroid Prime 3 with a dedicated button and you can take a pic anytime you like, or is there an item involved??

I like all those things about the GC version as well. Of course there aren't any NES games, Nintendo wants you to buy them in the Virtual Console! I do wish however there was a way to find the systems as items in the game, and use them to play whatever VC games you already have downloaded. I've yet to hear anything about this, so I'm assuming you can't.

I don't mind not having those so much. But, what I really miss is having the gyroid out front of your house so you could save there. I hate not being able to change anything about my attic "bedroom" other than swapping out the bed. They couldn't let us change wallpaper or flooring?

1) You just hit the (1) button, and then go to the picture icon on the menu to check and save it... 2) I'm using WiiSpeak, as is Maxi, nitsu, Deg, Djunknown, and TheFleece at the very least (the only ones I've played with that have it, I think...)

EasyCure, I will visit your town if you get the game! Bill, if you have your gates open some time tonight I will visit you, but no pressure as I can hold out and wait for Greeny when you return. I use Wii Speak, but when I play alone I wish I had a keyboard because the point and click style keyboard is awkward and slow. Maybe I'll pick one up in a few weeks or so. The only piece of furniture that has a game system is The Pink Box- it has a GameCube and something else in it, I forget. You can't play them, they're just for show. I gave it to Golden Phoenix when she came through. Maxi left me a bunch of cool stuff at my gates and got me back into the groove of donating fish to the museum so there will be lots of stuff for people to see no the next visit. I am going to try to make some patterns this week to spread around as well. What games could you play in the GameCube Animal Crossing?

No I agree the upstairs thing is stupid. In the GC version you got a customizable upstairs and downstairs! Wayy better.
And bill the dump was better because more of your landscape was actually taken up(not enough interesting buildings) and I don't have to waste time checking the recycle bin. Also the funniest AC commercial ever ran off of the existance of that dump.
However, the coffee shop it awesome.

Completely agree, the point and click method of entering text is awful. I keep finding myself moving the joystick around trying to move the reticule to the letter I want like it was on the GameCube version because I seem to remember it being faster than me struggling with the wiimote. I don't know how many times I've had a typo because of it. A keyboard would be incredibly helpful.
Also, when you are using the wiimote to type letters, etc. out, is there a dedicated "backspace" button that I haven't figured out yet? I think the B Button handled deletion in the original, but it just seems to cancel the letter writing process in City Folk.

But you still do... =)
Can I customize my bedroom in City Folk? I'm asking you seriously. I think in the GC version the basement was HUGE and the upstairs was pretty big too.
I really like the controls in this one. I can just relax with a single remote if I want, or if I need more accuracy I through in the Nunchuck, it doesn't complain or say anything, it just works. Its nice.

Bill I'm right with you. I let Maxi and Golden Phoenix shake my trees, but only because it was two people and the game is still pretty new. Soon I may ask for players to take what they shake or I will create a free pile of assorted fruits and things for people to grab from. You town can get a low moral score from leaving stuff lying on the ground. Like I said it was really no big deal, but then again- I didn't even bother to pick it up :P

Has anyone caught a Ceolacanth yet? For some reason, every time I think I'm going to get one, I miss it somehow. It's obviously a ceolacanth because the shadow is pretty huge, but when the lure goes under and I press A or jerk the controller, it misses. It's happened about 4 or 5 times now and I'm getting frustrated. Is there a different timing issue when trying to catch it? I don't have any problems catching the various other fish (stringfish included). And I don't remember having this much trouble with it on the Gamecube game.

I haven't been able to catch one either, which is annoying, and the fact that it has to be raining or snowing as well just doubles the frustration. I also need a popeyed goldfish and a pale chub.

Coelacanth bail out of a bite MUCH faster than other fish. All I can really give for advice is to make sure that the fish has actually bitten the lure (this is tough because you instinctively yank the pole as soon as you see it go "down", when the fish might have just been playing with it)...But yeah, the main issue is that you need to be fast...

I finally caught a ceolacanth this morning , thanks to the advice from Bill. Just being patient and making sure it really had the lure was all it took. There's a picture over in the eternal love & snapshot thread along with some random others.
I also finally met Phineas today and got a bubble wand. Those two things pretty much made it the best day of Animal Crossing thus far. Now if Nook would only upgrade.
Also, you know how a path starts to form when you walk/run over a certain area time and time again? Does that ever get covered back up from another snowfall? The only reason I ask is because my town is starting to look kinda dirty instead of the nice white winter setting it once was.

From what I've heard the grass/snow comes back faster than it turns into paths. I guess you just have to be careful where you walk. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the path feature. It makes me all paranoid about messing up my town.

if you plant some flowers where you wore it down the grass will slowly start growing back. you can't make grass grow in the spots that were all ready dirt covered, though.
And Nook remodels after so much money in his shop has been traded (buy/sell) and after so many days have passed. both conditions must be met before he will upgrade.

Sorry I was basically gone the whole time but my GF wanted to play Rockband and I needed to go to bed shortly afterwards so I just left my town on and open.

Today I went to Maxi's town. It was a lot of fun. He has a sweet looking house. I got a ton of oranges from him and also some stationary and a flag from his Nook store. Then Maxi came to my town to visit with my animals. We both have Spork the Pig. How does that happen?! Alternate dimensions? Anyway, after a while, Kairon came over and we had a great time. Unfortunately, Kairon didn't have his Wii Speak microphone hooked up, but we made due with typing. It was actually kind of humorous communicating that way. After chasing each other with nets for some time, we decided to go to Maxi's town. Sadly while there, I was disconnected. :(
All in all, a great day though!

I've come to the only logical conclusion I can think of regarding the multiple Sporks: they're an invading alien race and must be stopped. I've begun mobilizing my villagers.

So many people were playing tonight. It was awesome. Also, typing to communicate has really provided for some hilarious moments that just couldn't be recreated using Wii Speak. As great as the Wii Speak mic works, there's just something about watching little text bubbles pop up over your characters' heads with broken English and internet jargon in them.

Point day is fun (if you have money). And what makes it even more fun is that items in your catalog count too. I kept buy King Tuts Mask for 12000 bells for 5 times the points at 600 points a pop (until the cost of the mask went down to 11400 then later down to 10800) and went from bronze to gold in only a few minutes. Sadly now I only have a little over 20000 bells in the bank, but that's easily remedied by fishing and collecting shells.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Gylldas on December 21, 2008, 02:13:45 PM
Mom bought some new flowers at Nooks and a red turnip from Joan and is happy again. No worries though as her hybrids are still in full bloom. :)
nitsu, I had a points day and they are indeed awesome. Unfortunately mine was like the third day I had the game and had no money. If you have the points you should soooo get Link's outfit, Samus' varia suit, Majora's Mask, or Midna's mask from Nook's Point System.
Oh snap, now I gotta see these flowers, and that house! Lemme know next time you open your gates!
I probably won't have them open today as I'm gonna be pretty busy but I'll let you know when they are!

Today was a good rare fish catch day. I caught me a second Coelacanth, and a second Stringfish. Now I have them, along with a umpteenth Tuna and Koi in my house. As temting as it is to sell them to get all those bells, I can't give them up. But now that I have them for my own personal collection, any new ones get sold to Nook, to do whatever it is he does with all the stuff I sell to him. I also caught a ass load of goldfish this morning.

I've been stocking up on hats and glasses, so I wore lots of disguises and managed to trick him into giving me the whole Jingle series. I ended up with duplicates of a couple of items; I may offer those up if anyone needs them to complete their series. I know I had an extra bed, and maybe a lamp and wardrobe?
(I'll be away from the Wii for the next couple of days, so I time-shifted forward to tonight so as not to miss the Jingle event.)

Yeah, in principle I don't like time travel, but I consider this a special circumstance because it's a once-a-year event and I can't bail out of visiting my family just so I can play Animal Crossing (even if I might like to).

Post by: EasyCure on December 26, 2008, 04:01:22 PM
I have a quick question about one aspect of the controls though..
Is there a way to select multiple items from your pocket to drop to the ground? I remember you could do that in the original GC Animal Crossing by (i think..) holding down X as you select multiple items. I'm pretty sure i was able to do the same in Wild World (made selling things much easier) but I can't seem to do it in City Folk. I know when selling items to Nook all I have to do is point and click on everything I want to sell, I'm talking just about dropping multiple items from your pockets to the floor.
Anyone?

Online in Wild World was pretty sucky because life in your town would literally stop when another player came in. All of your villagers stay inside of their houses, and I believe more than one player can't enter the house. Then there was the communication aspect of the game. First, Wii Speak does a WORLD of wonders to the AC formula. Since the game is so light and breezy you can freely talk about anything not related to the game, like pets, movies and South Park episodes (something me and S_B did this morning :p ). Second, typing Wii mote is MUCH better than typing with the DS screen. Touch controls are good, but still feels like typing with one finger. You can type very quickly with the wiimote. Plus, you can connect an USB keyboard which gets the job done even aspect.
City Folk actually creates content around 4 players, like festivities and KK Slider, something Wild World never did. Since the Wii processor is faster and stronger than the DS's it allows for far more content to be shown online, creating a far more robust experience.
Then there are the graphics. I'm no graphics whore, but WW looked pretty bad. It was too grainy, the framerate was terrible when compared to other, more advanced DS games and you missed a lot of details due to how small the screen is. CF, on the other hand, looks clean, polished and bright. It adds a lot to the experience.
While I admit that taking some of the special visits and turning them into City attractions steals a bit of the anticipation it is very convenient. Dr. Shrunk barely appeared in my village so being able to visit him all week whenever I want is always a plus.
And like you mentioned, the controls are great. They are far more comfortable on the hands than the DS version.
Overall, City Folk is so awesome that Nintendo should have just scrapped the DS version and focus only on the Wii version. That way the impact would have been bigger.

I have a quick question about one aspect of the controls though..
Is there a way to select multiple items from your pocket to drop to the ground? I remember you could do that in the original GC Animal Crossing by (i think..) holding down X as you select multiple items. I'm pretty sure i was able to do the same in Wild World (made selling things much easier) but I can't seem to do it in City Folk. I know when selling items to Nook all I have to do is point and click on everything I want to sell, I'm talking just about dropping multiple items from your pockets to the floor.
Anyone?
I checked and you can't do that but you can drag and drop items by moving the item to the circle on the right side next to the letters.This method allows you to drop things without having to exit your inventory.

My brothers and I got this for Christmas! I've never played an animal crossing before, but my brothers and I are having a good time with it so far. There has already been a mad scramble for the equipment available in Nook's store which resulted in my middle brother not getting anything, while my youngest bro landed the bug net and shovel and I scooped up the fishing rod and watering can. Anyways, I'll put up my FC soon, even though my town hasn't been customized too much... at any rate, I'm enjoying it and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be addicted to it pretty quickly.

A little tip Armak if you buy 2 shovels and bury one. The next day the shovel that you buried will be a golden shovel.If you want to come to my shop let me know.Get some tools for your middle bro.

Wow Pap thanks for going over what new stuff it has online. I actually haven't experienced that yet (I haven't even visited KK Slider yet!). It is funny I recall MOST of the reviewers (if not all) completely ignoring the changes to online.

The only good review I read of Animal Crossing City Folk was from Johnathan Holmes who is the resident Destructoid Nintendo fanboy. (http://www.destructoid.com/destructoid-review-animal-crossing-city-folk-113842.phtml) Even though you may have the impersonation of OMG fanboy alert!, if you read his reviews he's pretty descriptive about the gameplay mechanics of any game he reviews and critiques it pretty fairly (and for some reason he compares animal crossing to porn).

I haven't experienced all of it either, but its definitely more polished than before. The fact that life goes on in your village is a massive improvement. True, you can't donate fossils or send letters, but at least you can interact with other players, the villagers, buy stuff from Tom Nook and celebrate real world holidays together.
To me, CF is a truer AC experience since there are little technical difficulties that prevent it from being great.
I am honestly stunned at how little has changed, but has received so much polish it makes up for the lack of any ground breaking elements. Really, when the best part about the game (interaction with friends) has been polished this much who CARES if its essentially the same thing? Football games only get roster changes, and people still love them!

I just want to apologize if anyone came to visit in the afternoon and I didn't do anything. See at around four (local time) S_B was still in my village looking for a rare fish. I've been up since 7:00AM, did a lot of Wii Fit and had to help my parents with a lunch they had in the afternoon. By the time everything ended I was tired out of my mind, so while S_B was in my town I fell asleep. The game stayed on all that time with the gates open because I wanted to let S_B find his fish.
So again, if you came around during that time my sincerest apologies.

Don't say that! I still want to visit. You can make your town look nice in an easy way.
First, the town has a lot of flowers around. Grab those and place them either around your house or the gate. Then what I did was make a "red carpet" pattern and placed it at the gate, to make players feel welcome. You can take the pattern and do a path all over town.
You can also grab some patterns from other players' towns and use that to decorate your gate or house.
There are many places around the village with dirt circles. Cover them with flowers to make them look nicer.
This should help!

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 29, 2008, 04:53:01 PM
I love Mr. Resetti and this game gives me precious few chances to see him so I took the liberty of gathering some data about the Fountain, golden/silver axes and Serena:
-You cannot access the fountain until the day after it's installed as Tortimer is locked in front of it.
-You throw an axe in by standing in front of it and swinging the axe.
-Wifi visitors cannot throw axes into the fountain, though I have yet to test this myself.
-You can only throw in one axe per day.
-Serena is a bitchy little cocktease. If she's a "goddess", she harkens back to the days of Greek goddesses who loved to play with mortals for their own amusement.
-Serena will always ask you what kind of axe you threw in. Answer honestly or she'll just blow you off and likely won't give you your axe back.
-Even if you DO answer honestly, she still may not give you your axe back.
-The whole "encounter" is completely 100% random: you can answer honestly and the only thing that will happen is Serena will hand you back your axe, or she may keep it because she loves being a bitch.
-On occasion, she will ask you if she's being "enough like a goddess" and will give you a sliding bar to choose "Sure am" or "No!". No matter what you choose, the outcome is 100% random. You can answer the question the same way twice and Serena will react differently each time, once taking your answer to heart and the next time doing nothing but getting mad at you.
-Bottom line, you could potentially spend every last day you play AC:CF trying to get the golden axe but to no avail. She'll give you a silver axe every now and then, but be prepared to toss endless axes into this fountain and have Serena toy with you every single day.
-It IS possible to get the golden axe on the VERY first day of having the fountain in your town, as I did after 30+ resets, but the odds are extremely unlikely. I don't know if accepting a silver axe from her will reduce your chances of getting a golden axe later, but if she offered one, I'd take it.
-When I finally got the golden axe from her, I had reset after getting 3 chances to take a silver axe in about 30 attempts and I was willing to settle for the silver axe instead.
-The golden axe isn't worth doing what I did, as I was losing my mind by the end and trying hard to not fall asleep. The silver axe doesn't break either, and the only advantage the golden axe is that it swings slightly faster, meaning you can hit money rocks faster. However, I tested it and got 8,100 bells from a money rock, the exact same amount I get with my silver shovel.
-I don't even consider the golden axe a status symbol at this point as "earning" it is based entirely upon luck. The golden watering can is the REAL status symbol as it requires you to have a perfect town for 16 days and requires actual effort.
Long story short, I want my 700,000 bells back. Axes are 400 bells and can be used to cut down 10-15 trees or so. You could buy 1,750 axes with that much money, and cut down (at the lowest) 17,500 trees before justifying the cost of paying for the fountain.
The windmill/lighthouse do absolutely nothing, from everything I've heard, so after you've added the bridge, don't feel any pressure to donate unless you're going for one of the feathers.
Also, the statue in the city is of Serena, but her eyes, when open, are empty, hollow orbs, making her look undead. I'm a bit miffed that I let this creepy, bitchy thing into my town. It doesn't help that the fountain she lives in isn't very pretty and the water running makes a strange noise that sounds very little like running water.
I preferred WW's method of having you swap rare items with visitors in your town on a quest to get the golden axe. This is more convenient but we already have a "roll of the dice" mechanic in finding Resetti's open to get the silver shovel.
The biggest irony in all of this is that the golden axe is the tool which will likely be used the least out of all tools and yet it's the most expensive to acquire. You'll cut down trees to set your town up exactly ONCE and then never need the damn thing again, except in rare occasions where a regular axe would work just fine. If there were some way to make loads of money with it, I could understand, but as it stands, it's not worth the money or the hassle.

I want a silver axe, can you get me one Mr. SB?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 29, 2008, 05:16:56 PM
I can try. Mail me your daily axes and I can always create 2 more characters to have them try on a regular basis.
I'll be chucking axes at the bitch on a daily basis out of spite and she may decide to give me a silver one one of these days. The one thing I'm uncertain about is whether or not she'll give you another silver/gold axe after giving you one already.
If I find out this is the case, I'll start another character and have them do it.

It's not THAT bad.
It's mostly just irritating that one of the most useless tools in the game is so expensive and difficult to acquire and involves luck instead of actual effort.

I just got a silver shovel! Woo Hoo! So, to be clear it won't make money trees?
That's right.
And to people who want axes: please mail me at least one axe.
Also, if anyone has a classic table, I REALLY need it as well.

Kai you should let us visit, we'll help spruce up the place. By the way I'm working on a game to play when visitors come over since theres not much going on in my town. I don't even have an axe yet to chop down trees let alone have axe fights with you guys :(
Oh and S_B's patters are sick (in a good and bad way). I never woulda thought of making designs like that..

Got the axe. Sent GP hers and technically Pap is next on the list but I should have another soon after.
OMG, I have to check AC. THANKS!
Welcome.
Do me a favor though, and send me the axe from your Nook's as often as possible. I created 2 extra characters so I'll have 4 chances per day, but I need 4 axes to throw in, considering Serena likes to keep them on a frequent basis.

Okay guys. I've never played an Animal Crossing game before (yeah, I know..). I decided to pick up City Folk since it seems to be the best of the bunch.
I'm three hours in and I'm wondering.. am I doomed to spend the rest of my AC life performing menial tasks with little reward? Does it get more fun? Am I missing something? Where exactly is one supposed to derive enjoyment from the game?
And these aren't sarcastic questions - I seriously want to know.

If you are talking about the errands Nook sends you on then no, these won't last forever.
If you are talking about stuff like fishing, planting trees and such, well, it all depends on the player. If you aren't having fun with AC I hate to say it but it ain't your game.
You can fish and donate your catch to the museum. It might not seem much, but its definitely satisfying showing off your rare catch to other players. I mean...you can fish sharks!
Then there's decorating your town, which is what I am doing. Once more, its satisfying creating a beautiful town then showing it off. It makes the experience far more personal.
Creating patterns can be very fun and even hilarious at times. Just ask SB about his Mr. Slave pattern. You can also create patterns in order to make patterns and adorn your town, adding even more complexity to your village.
City Folk also has a snapshot option (though poorly implemented). Just go to the Funhouse and you'll see that people are running wild with the screens.
There's even the turnips, which works a lot like the stock market. You can buy a lot of them and hope that Nook sells them at a great cost.
I can go on and on about the experience. AC is a game that is defined by the player. The game gives you the options and the features, but its really up to you how you use your time in the game.

Looks like WFC may actually be working today. It didn't take me a ridiculously long time to connect.
My Nook is buying turnips for 115 Bells apiece today... not great, but decent. My gate will be open probably for the next hour or so if anyone wants to stop by. I also still need to unload this kitten on Maxi.

After 27 or so tries, I finally got a silver axe out of her.

On a side note, I am finding it funny how this game has been attacked for being made for new comers. So far I've found it to have plenty of things to appeal to those of us who have stuck to the series. One of the best examples of this is being able to visit Rosetti, something that only the most die hard fan would appreciate. Not to mention some really cool and updated Nintendo related items.

tomorrow is point day in my town too, lucky for me i have over a million and a quarter bells in my bank for me to play with so I can get enough points to play around with. Though I probably won't have to spend more than 300K or so.

Nintendo Treehouse tells 1UP all the new features of AC:CF (http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3172032)
I honestly don't know if I should laugh or groan at some of the questions 1up asks them. Was the Nook bashing needed?
And what annoys me about these CF reviews is that they keep saying "Oh its the same game, oh its the same game don't buy it" without any true analysis or in-depth commentary on why CF might be worth it for some.
Its true, CF plays very similarly to Wild World. No one can deny that. Yet, I feel as if CF is about taking the core concept, mixing it with some new concepts as well as classic Gamecube ideas and polishing them to a near perfect shine.
Like I mentioned before, the social and interaction aspect of the game is definitely improved over the DS version. I honestly underestimated how Wii Speak and text chat add to the overall game. As some of you have already noticed it makes for some moving and hilarious moments, like New Year's. The fact that you can participate with up two four players in events make this even better than the DS version. The world doesn't stop just because there are other players in town. It might seem like simple additions but they add a lot to the game, perhaps moreso than people know or fail to give credit.
The new city I admit is both a blessing and a curse. I barely met Dr. Shrunk in the DS version, so being able to go and see him is great, especially since his appearances are so hilarious (he's definitely one of my favorite characters in the game). As ridiculous as the prices are its fun seeing Gracie Grace's shop. Being able to see Red whenever you want is also a plus. The new Walrus and Skunk characters also make it enjoyable. Who know that your shoes could complement your outfit? The downside is that the city eliminates the excitement of meeting random characters. Plus, it would have been great if the city served as an online hub world where you meet other players and take them to your town.
As always, they could have added even more to the game. But at this point its far more polished than the DS version and its strongest asset, the social interaction, is made infinitely better on the Wii. Its sad that many reviewers aren't taking this into consideration.

Yes, and its even more obvious now than ever before.
City Folk gets bashed for being an updated sequel with some improvements and additions. While I agree that more could've been done technically all sequels offer very little in terms of innovation.
Let's take a look at some sequels: Gears of War 2: Plays exactly like the first game, save for new scenarios, improvements in graphics, sound and game mechanics and of course, it shows the next part in the story.
Resident Evil 5: From all the trailers it looks to play nearly identical to RE 4, save with some slight improvements, new main character, story and setting. Hell, even the enemies look the same, except they are African now.
GTA IV: Its pretty much a hi-def version of GTA III, except it doesn't completely improve on it and even takes some of the things that made the earlier game beloved, like expanded wardrobe features.
Halo 3: Was praised as the best multiplayer game ever. Yet, the single player campaign mode was shorter than in the previous games.
These games were highly praised sequels but are guilty of not really evolving the core gameplay and ideas. City Folk gets bashed for doing this when in reality is an expanded sequel in which old and new ideas are explored, expanded, polished and presented to the audience and makes the game better than in its earlier iterations.
So if CF gets bashed for doing this why don't any of the games above get their criticism? Is it because they offer improvements in story and graphics? So if CF looked extremely different from the earlier games and offered a deep story would the reviews be better even if the game plays exactly like the older games?
In that case, the Pokemon games are IDENTICAL to each other, yet gets praised for the content. Again, what's up with that?

Are you sure it wasn't a centipede? I've never heard of a caterpillar in Animal Crossing, but you can sometimes find centipedes by hitting rocks with shovels in the evening (even in January).

I spent around 150-170K and got enough points to get to platinum and 11K points to get the Metroid outfit. Then I spend around 299K of my million bells to pay off my mortgage. Now I am on the last mortgage, but I'm not dipping into my savings anymore, got to build back up. I've decided to use the money rock money each day to half mortgage half bank and use my fruit money for the town fund. Kody the bear sent me an apple so now I have all the fruit.

I'm gonna do something similar. Instead of selling it all, I'm gonna keep one from each tree so I can start planting more where my starter fruit trees were so I can have more foreign fruit to harvest later on. I will sell the other two and put it towards my final mortgage. I am now waiting for my fountain to be built.

I remember seeing a hair-style guide on some AC fansite (animalxing.com i believe) for WW, but i never got the Shampoodle shop in my town so I don't know how it worked other than being asked a few questions.... is it the same way in CF as it is in WW?? Cuz i've gotten two hairstyles now that both sucked...
To be honest, even if they didn't suck i'd keep the mii mask on anyway since i dont like my characters face :(

I've been without my Wii since December 16.

It was nice visiting you EasyCure.The things I bought at Nooks I don't have anymore.:( I want to thank The North Sea for getting me a Starman.Now I have a Fire Flower,Starman, and a Bullet Bill. Oh EasyCure I noticed you don't have any Music.The next time you visit me you can select one.:)
MORE LIES!
I have K.K. Dixie! I stayed home with my gf this past saturday just so i could show her what an awesome performer he is lol. I'll gladly pick a tune, I'm never around on saturdays to play so unless i cheat on sundays and change the time, I'll NEVER have a good music selection :(
Everyone! The gates to my town will be open tonight! I'll be waiting for any visitor.
LIES! i tried your gate wasn't open
Yeah they were. After around two hours of no activity I decided to check if any villages were open. I saw that DJUnknown's village was open. I visited him, then went to see you but your town was closed. So I opened my gates for the rest of the night, and just closed them.
MORE BOO'S! (lol booze..) I guess i just missed you then. Sorry 'bout that. I got your wii speak messages though, that second pic was awesome i hope you post it!

Sorry to interrupt the little orgy in this thread but I couldn't leave this post alone.

City Folk gets bashed for being an updated sequel with some improvements and additions. While I agree that more could've been done technically all sequels offer very little in terms of innovation.
Let's take a look at some sequels: Gears of War 2: Plays exactly like the first game, save for new scenarios, improvements in graphics, sound and game mechanics and of course, it shows the next part in the story.
Resident Evil 5: From all the trailers it looks to play nearly identical to RE 4, save with some slight improvements, new main character, story and setting. Hell, even the enemies look the same, except they are African now.
GTA IV: Its pretty much a hi-def version of GTA III, except it doesn't completely improve on it and even takes some of the things that made the earlier game beloved, like expanded wardrobe features.
Halo 3: Was praised as the best multiplayer game ever. Yet, the single player campaign mode was shorter than in the previous games.
These games were highly praised sequels but are guilty of not really evolving the core gameplay and ideas. City Folk gets bashed for doing this when in reality is an expanded sequel in which old and new ideas are explored, expanded, polished and presented to the audience and makes the game better than in its earlier iterations.
So if CF gets bashed for doing this why don't any of the games above get their criticism? Is it because they offer improvements in story and graphics? So if CF looked extremely different from the earlier games and offered a deep story would the reviews be better even if the game plays exactly like the older games?
In that case, the Pokemon games are IDENTICAL to each other, yet gets praised for the content. Again, what's up with that?
This is ridiculous. City Folk is bashed for being a LAZY EFFORT by the best developer in the world. Wow 20 million new item skins, one guy could have done all that in a week. All those games, even though I don't like them, have an arse load of new everything, and effort. To compare new gameplay to some new buildings in the city is absolutely PATHETIC. They are NEW GAMES. GTA4 is a COMPLETELY different game to past GTAs.
Even Pokemon changes a LOT, every game has a completely different WORLD (AC fail), incredible new music (AC fail), and gameplay elements (AC fail) that completely change the balance of the game. Most of all it has passion and innovation. The only thing AC City Folk does right that you'd expect is it has nice graphics. This sets a very bad precedent. Look forward to the new Zelda, set in the exact same place as Twilight Princess, with one new dungeon, 5 more heart pieces to find, and new outfits for Link. NEW Zelda! The Legend of Zelda: Newness of New.
City Folk is not GTA4, it's not Gears of War 2, it's Super Mario Advance, it's OoT: Master Quest, it's Chrono Trigger DS. Except UNLIKE those polished ports, this game is a complete random mess. Controls are all over the place, some menus you can scroll up and down with the stick, some you need the pointer, and the store catalogue is RETARDED, not even allowing you to scroll up and down properly. Fishing is now worse, you can't even see 50% of the ocean where fish could be, it's trial and error "oh, nothing there. that was fun" NOT! It also has much more loading, no more Messages in a Bottle, no message of the week, no villager picture frames, no more side rooms in the house, less options and less variety with NPC interaction and also text typing and pattern making is WAY more clumsy than the DS version. Speaking of limits can anybody believe how lame it is that the town board is so limited? It's just friggin text, yet it gets erased after a week or two. They could allow HUNDREDS of message board posts. Also that path erosion crap makes my town look like a friggin battlefield, WTF? It was cool for a day or two but jesus, the game not only had no effort put into it, but no THOUGHT.
In fact i'd go as far to say that City Folk is the WORST version of Animal Crossing. It's the DS version without portability and ease of use and everything I just mentioned, and the GC version without NES games, police station, connectivity island and e-reader fun, and the GC version has a better title screen with a variety of towns displayed at different times, MUCH better music, cool code system (which they could still have, not everyone has online, this is like noline, heaps cool), monthly lotteries and movable save data.
Anyway, I was going to donate my town to the forum and leave my town open and Wii on for a week or so for people to come in and do ANYTHING to it. Cut down every tree, rape the message board, steal fossils, send threats or love letters to my people, throw rotten turnips on the ground, steal my fruit, use my Nook, heck maybe do something imaginative. BUT, looks like my Wii is breaking down now (thanks again Nintendo, even my PS2 still works) so i've gotta send it in to get fixed and knowing NAL it'll be gone for months or they'll break it. Maybe City Folk breaks Wiis, add another impressive new feature to the list, woudn't surprise me given everything else they overlooked.

It is impossible to take anything you say seriously, and this post is no different, not to mention you pick and choose some of the stupidest complaints (Seriously you are complaining about how some of the text scrolling, is not right (At least according to you, I've had no problem with it and you have to really anal to really notice it if it is there)? THe TITLE SCREEN? OMG. Best yet is that it has loading. Geez I wonder why, maybe because it is on DVD? Oh how about this one, portability? Could it because it is on the Wii? I dunno.
It would be easy to refute your various other points, but why bother (One example being the texting, guess you don't realize you can use a keyboard right? Also designing being clumsy? Must be why so many here have created some terrific designs for shirts (not to mention you can do MORE with designs than the DS version) Didn't realize that was in the DS version? Then again you are the same person that was saying the game was bombing which was asinine in itself. Awesome, you hate the game, so now go troll elsewhere and whine. What I find most funny is you bought the game even though you decided you would hate it. That is perhaps the best part.
While I'm at this is why I PREFER this to the DS version:
1. Online infrastructure is so much better allowing for interaction with city animals OUTSIDE OF THEiR HOUSE. Makes for a more community experience 2. Voice chat. Even though I do not have one it is great interacting with those that do. 3. The City. It is fun to travel the city and see some of the animals from various towns together and here them talk about their respective city. Not to mention you can actually see Rosetti's home which is very cool. 4. Expanded designer choices for clothes. 5. USB Keyboard support. Beats either the touch screen or the Wiimote 6. Community interaction from the comfort of your own home and not bending over your DS 7. Of course the new items and collectibles 8. The visual style is extremely polished now 9. Being able to switch between usable items with the control pad. 10. The ability to adjust your calender without being penalized. This allowed me to go back and do things I missed while my Wii was away 11. Having "look at me I'm rich" store in the City. 12. Playing hide n seek with animals 13. Newer Interactions iwth NPCs not to mention vastly more. 14. Been having a blast with photos (as I know others have) 15. Use of Miis is a neat little addition
At its core the AC is a community game and AC: CF is the best when it comes to getting people together and opening up the most opportunity for FUN while together.

There's obviously many ways you can take this latest Animal Crossing. Some people miss the DS version. I don't, I got bored of the DS version for some reason, or maybe I can only play AC from a couch. Some people enjoy the small differences in what is essentially the same exact gameplay formula, others feel like the game is stagnant.
*shrug*
I personally can accept all those views. I mean, some Pokemon games I can enjoy, some outright bore me, but there are always examples of people who feel the exact opposite. I could give the example of Harvest Moon, which I love but don't feel compelled to revisit, except that I'm puzzled as to how to hold that up in comparison to Animal Crossing, which I AM revisiting.
I don't know. It's weird. I don't know if I should feel guilty for having fun.

I did, but I haven't played much lately. I'm going to be trying for a perfect town soon so I should be back into it.
The perfect town requires 6 trees per acre, with an acre being a 16x16 square (256 shovel holes) and tons of flowers to boot. I gave up just asking Pelly what's wrong because there's not enough information to figure out what she wants me to do.
"Too many trees in some areas" is way too vague, especially when I go back after chopping down one tree and now she tells me there are too few!

Ok, it's time for more of "SB's Cautionary Tales of Woe", following up after my "experience" with Serena (whom I still want to murder for being such a heinous bitch)...
I got my town to "Perfect" status last night, but in order to do this, you'll NEED to follow this guide here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/file/933195/54906
Bottom line, remember the GC version of AC and the "acre" system where all parts of the town were plotted on a grid which you could reference by acre A1, D4, etc.?
Although we don't have the grid, the acres are STILL THERE! And to make matters worse, the game is judging you on how well you've planted your trees via acre, despite the fact THAT YOU HAVE NO FRIGGIN' CLUE WHERE THE ACRE BOUNDARIES ARE!!!
And that's not the worst of it: since the game wants you to have 12-16 trees per acre, Pelly/Phyllis will tell you what the problem is with the most pressing acre at the time. In other words, if one acre has 9 trees and another has 20, she'll tell you that there "Are too many trees in some areas." giving you abso-fucking-lutely no idea where the trees actually need culling. You can go out and thin some areas which look too dense, but density doesn't matter: it's purely based upon the number of trees per acre (provided you can run a full circle around every tree). Then, after you've cut some trees down, she'll tell you that there aren't enough trees in some areas because now the acre with 9 has become the more "pressing" issue.
This is like someone asking you to scratch their back but they won't tell you where it itches and will yell at you for scratching anywhere BUT where it itches.
So the bottom line is that you could try to get a perfect town for months of random cutting and replanting and still never actually achieve perfect town status because the game uses a piss-poor system of alerting you to the source of the problem.
I find it rather ironic that the map system has been refined so they could use it to show us certain specific areas, like where to put a new bridge or show us which houses we could live in, yet no one on the team thought to use that same system to show players WHERE the goddamn town needs more trees or fewer trees.
So again, if you plan to go for perfect town status, use that guide. You're pretty much fucked if you don't.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: EasyCure on January 12, 2009, 03:24:29 PM
Ouch. Good thing i don't really care about getting that status. If i did i'd probably never go back to the game becuase i'd feel as if i completed the ultimate task... meh.
Thank you for hosting Pap, i didn't even know your gates were open, i just checked for the hell of it. Your mexican costume was great, your accent (although not mexican) went well with it too. Me and Julia had fun, especially with your antics during the K.K. Slider show. Not that we saw much of it since the camera angles changed often, but that last part was priceless.

It was the same acre system on the DS. My wife just layed out a grid on the floor with patterns and used that to plan things. Worked a charm.

I made a grid, but then I got bored of trying to keep track of it and just planted trees wherever I felt like and got a perfect town.

I had a kitten and the mom was in Sir Sniffy's town. This was in the DS version as well. The person who has the kitten will receive a gift, everyone who gets the mom can write Child Services via Mr Resetti.

Ok, it's time for more of "SB's Cautionary Tales of Woe", following up after my "experience" with Serena (whom I still want to murder for being such a heinous bitch)...
I got my town to "Perfect" status last night, but in order to do this, you'll NEED to follow this guide here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/file/933195/54906
Bottom line, remember the GC version of AC and the "acre" system where all parts of the town were plotted on a grid which you could reference by acre A1, D4, etc.?
Although we don't have the grid, the acres are STILL THERE! And to make matters worse, the game is judging you on how well you've planted your trees via acre, despite the fact THAT YOU HAVE NO FRIGGIN' CLUE WHERE THE ACRE BOUNDARIES ARE!!!
And that's not the worst of it: since the game wants you to have 12-16 trees per acre, Pelly/Phyllis will tell you what the problem is with the most pressing acre at the time. In other words, if one acre has 9 trees and another has 20, she'll tell you that there "Are too many trees in some areas." giving you abso-fucking-lutely no idea where the trees actually need culling. You can go out and thin some areas which look too dense, but density doesn't matter: it's purely based upon the number of trees per acre (provided you can run a full circle around every tree). Then, after you've cut some trees down, she'll tell you that there aren't enough trees in some areas because now the acre with 9 has become the more "pressing" issue.
This is like someone asking you to scratch their back but they won't tell you where it itches and will yell at you for scratching anywhere BUT where it itches.
So the bottom line is that you could try to get a perfect town for months of random cutting and replanting and still never actually achieve perfect town status because the game uses a piss-poor system of alerting you to the source of the problem.
I find it rather ironic that the map system has been refined so they could use it to show us certain specific areas, like where to put a new bridge or show us which houses we could live in, yet no one on the team thought to use that same system to show players WHERE the goddamn town needs more trees or fewer trees.
So again, if you plan to go for perfect town status, use that guide. You're pretty much fucked if you don't.
I haven't gone for a perfect town yet, I have been forever getting the so-so message.
This might be helpful. http://accf.wikispaces.com/Perfect+Town (http://accf.wikispaces.com/Perfect+Town) it says that you don't have to have every acre perfect to have a perfect town.

Do you guys try and plant money trees? I have been but haven't been successful yet.
One thing I've heard conflicting reports on is how many times they will have "fruit"
Some places say you only get one set of three money bags, then the tree goes back to nothing.
Other places say it give bags as frequently as a normal fruit tree gives fruit.
Which is true?

Well, in the GC version they gave out money bags just once. Afterwards it became a normal tree.

To add on to what Pap said the sucess rate is determed by how much bells you plant.Put in 10,000=10% success rate.20,000=20% success rate. It goes up like that.The most you can get is 90,000 bells on one tree.So you should plant 80,000 bells to get a little profit.

I won't be on tonight, but later in the week if you want you can give it to me personally.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Pale on January 15, 2009, 02:51:24 PM
80k gives and 80% chance of paying back 90k.
So that means you are taking a 20% risk for only 12.5% profit.
If you did this 100 times, 80 times you would make 10 grand, for a total of 800 grand.
20 times you would lose 80 grand, for a total of 1.6 million.
On average, you'd be throwing away 800,000 bells per 100 on that strategy.
If that's how it works I've been wasting a ton of money. /sigh.
At 30 grand per, you'd make 60k, 30 out of 100 times, totalling 1.8 million. You'd lose 30 grand 70 out of 100 times, totalling 2.1 million.
Total loss, 300k. Not as bad as 80k per, but still a loss.

OK, right now I am arguing against Josh Thomas (Wiifolder curator and porno superstar... :p) who has a petition to save the grass in Animal Crossing City Folk.
Here's the article: http://wiifolder.com/?p=147#comment-11491
The most annoying part about this is that he is deleting comments that say otherwise, many which were speaking the truth (mine were deleted too).
The reality of the situation is that far bigger petitions have been made in the past, some regarding important issues. And they have been ignored. If the gaming industry has ignored important cries of help and attention whose to say Nintendo will break tradition and care about what is basically digital grass.
Nintendo has NEVER been the type of company to release game patches because it would be them admitting that they released a glitchy game. If they saw an issue in a game they fix it in the next game and offer an apology.
If Nintendo does listen to the petition the least they will do is release a video or article about how to deal with the grass dying in the game.
I think what annoys me is that Josh is deleting comments and making sure the positive comments shine through, pretty much making him look like someone who can't stand opinions that aren't his own. As much as I disagree with Ian and even Mr. Vega's comments I would never delete them because its their right and as long as they aren't insulting, flaming or being disrespectful they DESERVE to be heard.
I don't know which annoys me the most...the elitist attitude or people caring over digital grass...

Today's the Fishing Tourney!
I have to give you guys an update on my village.
I have created two more characters in order to use their pattern space as well as decorate their houses in order to give more life to my town. I am already working on a mural which should be really cool when its done. But it takes A LOT of work and patience, almost like setting up a row of dominoes. But the results should be impressive when it is done.
I also added a new "attraction" to my village, a romantic one. Plus added more signs and flowers to the houses.
I need a favor from one of you, though. Anyone have the complete Lovely Furniture set? I have the wallpaper and table, but need everything else. One of my characters is female (its a long story) and would love her house to have the lovely theme.

Seems to be the running gag for the week. From what I've heard, turnips were at a record low this week. Mine was 38 on Friday, 30 today. Its the nature of investing, sometimes you just don't make a nice fat return.
Chip must've read my mind when he made this month's fishing tourney the horse mackerel edition. I was stock piling sea basses, and saved up a tuna just for the occasion, then he throws the proverbial curve ball. Didn't stop me though, as I won this time around with an 18.1 incher.

Did ya'll do any time traveling? Because that will cause you to have really low turnip prices. If that's the case then they should level back out in a week or so.

I won first place in the fishing tourney but got a Silver Trophy. I guess because I already got the gold from the last one, they just give the next one down. So if I win first again I will get Bronze?

d ya'll do any time traveling? Because that will cause you to have really low turnip prices. If that's the case then they should level back out in a week or so.
Not this old boy.Then again, I never wake up early enough on sundays to start making real bells... :'(

Once more, did anyone get Maxi's new years present or was I the only one that lost it?
Didn't know Maxi was handing out the goods :o. No, I didn't get anything. Remember that Pelly/Phyills say that on rare occasions, your letters may not go through. Maybe we should make an unwritten rule to send a reply just so you know the person got your letter/gift?

I assumed this might be the case, but I wasn't going to say anything. ;)
As for the net, I found this in a walkthrough:
" -Silver Net- Once Nook's has upgraded (see the Nook's section below), every so often he will stock a silver tool. Slightly larger than the normal Net and made of sleek silver thread, it slices through the air more quietly, making it easier to catch bugs."

You just need to buy 50 flower seeds in order to get the silver watering can. Or you can call a friend and have him or her water the turnip for you.
BTW the gates to my town are open, and will be for the rest of the night.

I think the Silver Net is a larger net, so to speak, so it would be easier to catch bugs. I bought one the only time a silver tool was so far ever available at my Nook's.

Thanks, thats what i figured but when comparing the two the net itself didn't seem any larger so all i had to go by was the logic that it just HAS to be better than the original net. Too bad this season (and the time i usually get to play) doesn't have many bugs to catch.

Today was a flea market so I bought out half of Kiki's furniture. I know that sending an animal something will cause them to put it in their house. I just wonder to what extent this works...

I believe you can send rare items to your animals and they will put it in their house. I sent my emo-horse Ed a snowman clock and he had it at his house the next day. If I could do this with the snowman furniture I think you can do it with the Gracie sets.

If you want great turnip prices, the gamefaqs AC board is your best bet.
You'll find someone there whose Nook is buying turnips for some insane price, like 400+. They'll ask for a commission on your sale, like 30-50k. A full load of 1500 turnips can sell for 700k+ bells with a single one of these visits, so 50k commission is chump change.

Yeah, it has a bit larger pour area and if I you water wilted black roses with it (grown from two adjacent red roses) they'll turn into golden roses which never wilt.
It was the reward for keeping the town perfect for 16 days, which was actually a great deal easier than I first thought it would be.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: NWR_pap64 on January 27, 2009, 01:55:55 PM
I thought the golden flowers always happened no matter what flower is wilted (as in, you should get a golden flower no matter the species).
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

Pretty sure it's just wilted black roses, unless the guides are wrong.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around. I lost a lot of bells in the stalk market, got depressed, and haven't played since then. I'll get back on eventually, but I'm dreading seeing all those spoiled turnips.
I don't think I'll be posting in these forums much anymore, if at all, but maybe I'll see you all around in Animal Crossing.

Mine went for 104/per bell today. Most likely Wed-thur will be the days that you'll get you the most for you bell.
I'm investing in infrastructure aka, the town fund. Do you have to put one big lump sum to get bridges, lighthouses, fountains, etc, or can you make installments like your mortgage?

shammack, may i ask why you wont be posting in the forums anymore? is this another bill situation?!?
It's a combination of things. I actually decided to jump ship around the time Lindy took over. Then I saw Bill's suicide post and I pretty much agree with him. But I've also just been busy with other things like getting married in a couple of weeks. I kind of lost interest in the forums and NWR in general because of all the negativity (mostly from the staff (except Kairon)) and the way almost every discussion devolves into a "hardcore" debate. I found that after a couple of days of not reading them, my mood was significantly better. So I'm going to continue to stay away.
But I don't mean to turn this into a big forum suicide; I didn't post very much and have never been very well-known/liked in the first place. Just wanted to let you guys know in case you were looking for me because of a kitten or something.

Well then, no need to advertise then. My gates are open now for the next half hour or so, Turnips are going for 161. But since that is nowhere near Fleece's sum; patience is a virtue...
Also, I'm in the market for gryroids. I want to have an expansive collection, and waiting for precipitous days may take a while. Matching sets (say a mini bovoid and tall bovoid) are preferred, I'll buy them at a high price...

Post by: NWR_pap64 on January 29, 2009, 05:03:34 PM
OK, is it confirmed that you can make small payments to the town fund and still get the upgrades?
I spent nearly all afternoon selling my fruit and gathered nearly 300,000 bells (100,000 each time I ran out of pocket space, plus earlier I had deposited 50,000 bells and just now I deposited 50,000 bells). And yet Pelly doesn't say anything about donating enough to get a new bridge at least.
Do the upgrades happen randomly?

Thanks SirSniffy and Kairon for visiting my town! I had a blast at both of your villagers!
And Sniffy, we gotta do the Miss Squinge Pageant, and have the after party in my mansion! :D
Yeah, we have to figure out how to do this. Start drawing your sluttiest swimsuits.

Post by: NWR_pap64 on January 31, 2009, 07:14:53 PM
Well, it took me all day, all of my fruit, a few hundred thousand bells and LOTS of triforces, but I finally reached Platinum status at Nooks!
He had his quintuple (sp?) point special and I just had to work my way through the ranks. After I discovered that you could get points by ordering from your catalogue I went crazy and ordered triforces, which cost 9,000 bells (THANK YOU KAIRON!).
So after 2 hours, I finally reached Platinum, got all of the Nintendo presents and more than enough points to buy whatever I want.
The downside is that I will have a lot of triforces coming my way. But I decided to give them to my villagers so every house in my town has at least one triforce :) .

Send some out to us and we can distribute them to our villagers.Perhaps other NWR members or former members as well if ya catch my drift.
Just to let everyone know K.K. plays tonight.I guess nobody got their song last Saturday. I'll start checking for open towns 30 mins from now.

I already got my three songs (heh), so I decided to take a break. I have been playing the game all afternoon.
Now that I have over 25,000 Nook points I am having a hard time deciding which gift to get. I did some math and I can get a handful of the smaller presents. But the Mario Kart is freaking sweet.
Decisions decisions...

Yeah, it was an event in the GC version. Tortimer and the villagers gathered under the fountain and Mr. Resetti, wearing a tuxedo, would appear and say if spring was near or if there would be more winter.
You didn't get anything out of it, though.

For the hell of it, I decided to watch some videos of AC on the GC and DS, and discovered a lot of surprising things...
- The graphics in the GC version were ASS! The style may be simplem, but the graphics are smooth and clean on the Wii.
- The animalese is lower on the GC version
- The buildings in the GC version were basically boxes with little detail
- I LOVE the camera on the DS and Wii version. The overhead camera on the GC version was annoying (even if it was reminiscent of Zelda)
- In the DS version your house had more upgrades, I believe up to three (you could choose between another room or a basement). The design of the house is different, but I think its because you couldn't have a second, third or fourth house in your village, so it made sense to have a big house for four players.
- In the DS version not only could you get photos from your villagers you could also get photos from the other characters (Nook, K.K. Slider, Pelly etc.). I don't know if this is available on the Wii version...
Its fun seeing how the same concept changes in between versions.

- The animalese is lower on the GC version
I like the animalese from the GC version better. When I made catchphrases for my villagers, it was more phonetic. One of my favorites was having the girls say 'twinkles', the cats saying 'me meow', and they actually pronounced my name (coincidental no doubt) which was Djunk. The closest phonetics I can get so far in the wii version is 'bada-bing' or 'bada-boom...'
Has anyone checked the HRA model room lately? Looks like mine took the award for 'most traditional', I was surprised to find my HRA go from 5,995 to over 87,000. This sort of thing never happens to me!
Febuary charm: Cut down 1 tree in my town, and something good will happen. It doesn't get any easier than that!

I have to say the localization of this game is excellent...
In Japan, they celebrated "Bean Day", a holiday in which they throw beans in order to scare away the demons (its in a way related to New Year's). Of course, this was celebrated in the Japanese version of AC. What surprised me is that if you have a Japanese friend you can visit his town and everything will be in English and you will even receive the special item!
This video explains it all: http://www.wipido.com/video/AjTasCzKcvFr
Again, really good localization.

General Tragg's (whom I haven't seen in a while, where is he?) friends knew some Japanese people and they got a red Pikmin helmet. Also, they designed a winter school girl uniform which is presented in the original Hiragana. I should put it back up in Able's shop now that I think about it... though no one will visit me, no matter how long I open my gates...

Sorry for not visiting DJunknown, and to everyone really. But in the last few days I've been working on my village, harvesting my fruit, selling my junk, cleaning the village and to be honest during that time I don't want visitors. Not to mention that in the last few days I've been working towards getting new additions to my village as well as updating my Nooks membership, buying the rare Gracie stuff and sending a triforce to every villager in town. I haven't played with anyone since Kairon and SirSniffy visited my village.
Also, by the time I finish the AC chores I feel tired and don't want to pick the game up, so I shut down the Wii and let it rest.
So again, sorry for not playing with anyone online, I've been busy. But I promise to have my gates open more often once the workload eases.

I was checking my catalog when I realized that I don't have a kid carpet nor a kid wallpaper. Anyone have those? Also, anyone happen to have a birthday cake?
I was going to open my gates tomorrow, but remembered that we have wifi Brawl night. I will open on the weekend, though.

Hey, guys. I've been playing this game for nearly two months and the highest turnip price I have seen is 200, which is sort of crappy. If anyone has a high turnip price in the near future (400-ish) can I come? I'll give 50000 - 100000 bells as a peace offering. My friend code is in my sig. Private me your's and tell me whenever I can come to sell sell sell if your up for making some quick bells. I'll be watching the boards. Thanks.

Does anyone have 640,000 to 800,000 bells lying around? The special in my town today is a throne... I figure it must be pretty rare if it's that expensive.
Buy one and then save up and buy another on point day. Then you should get 32,000 points is your buy for 640,000 instead of 6,400 points. I got mine today and I'm saving up again for point day.
Edit: Boo hoo, Not for Sale. Well that just sucks...

Glad to see that Blanca made a return! Dunno where she originated, but I got Maxi's creation, and then she asked me to do paint her in way that says 'crazy'! I would appreciate it if someone informed me when she stops in your town...
Finally got up early today, and got some red and white Turnips! So yeah, post those prices, and I'll do the same. Just a friendly reminder, I'll pay top bell for matching Gyroid sets...

I've seen Blanca three times already, the third time featuring a design from S_B.
BTW, we just had an epic Birthday Party in City Folk. We had to stay all day and wait for S_B to arrive, but it was worth just for the reaction and epic pictures.
We also played hide and seek, harassed our neighbors, made a petting zoo and messed with my flowers.
It was a great day :) .
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on February 09, 2009, 12:59:40 AM
My favorite part of the day was when we made a petting zoo and when we tried to get the animals to fall into pitfalls.The results were funny.To bad we couldn't get any in... When S_B showed up the first time. I was going to hide upstairs but the loading screen wouldn't stop.After disconnecting I made a mad dash to my gates to beat S_B to St.Hope.Once I arrived I ran to Pap's house and hid in the first floor next to the door.Pap saved it than immediately S_B arrived.When S_B came in the house myself,Pap,and Golden yelled Surprise!! Happy Birthday!! We gave him many things.He had to go back to his village a couple times.We took a few snapshots.He gave us gold watering cans.He left a little after that.
S_B, Pap64, Golden Phoenix I had a great time.

annywa, I got Blanca in my town once and i posted a picture of the look i gave her in the Picture thread in the Funhouse.
Sorry, but the game only allows for three people online, and the third spot was already reserved for S_B :( . My gates were open all day so you could have dropped in and enjoy the "party".
And about time we got the Pikmin hats.

I assume the DLC applies for every country, considering its data already on the disc.

So I've decided to get back Nook n' Go, since its more compatible with my playing schedule. It'll be closed the 12th, though. So if anyone needs to do some late buying and selling, you know who to go to!
Also have some new styles that begging to be worn! 2 are of my creation, the other two I got elsewhere and are better just as exquisite.

Didn't the original AC let yo uuse the GBA to make patters on??
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: SirSniffy on February 12, 2009, 11:13:16 AM
Yeah, this pattern making interface is kind of crappy. There are actually a few pattern making tooks online. You can upload an image and it makes it into a dot-by-dot pattern for you to copy. Still might be a lot more work than people want to do just to get an image they like.
It takes a looooong time though. And as TheFleece mentioned, not being able to "draw" in the classical sense makes it more frustrating than anything else. I'd even settle for a mouse attachment :P
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: TheFleece on February 12, 2009, 11:18:23 AM
Yes I heard that you could draw patterns on the GBA and move them to the Cube. I prefer to draw on the DS and made a lot of patterns in my Wild World game. I hope a more modern drawing technique will be applied to the Wii. I wouldn't mind a mouse attatchment. I also looked at the guides to prepare an image and it really seemed like more time than I had and more than I'd be willing to dedicate. This is also why I hate Blanca and I'm sad that she is back in the game.

Post by: EasyCure on February 12, 2009, 11:50:53 AM
I hate how nintendo lets you move your game save from WW to AC but won't let you connect to the DS as they did with the GBA. I barely ever made patters, still dont really, but when i do i'd rather do it via the DS because out of all the times i did make a pattern, on that platform was it the easiest and most comfortable.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: SirSniffy on February 12, 2009, 11:55:42 AM
Yeah, that really doesn't make much sense, when all you ever read was how Nintendo wanted to create ways for the Wii and DS to "talk" and interact with one another.
Maybe in future versions of AC, they will fine tune this feature. Maybe they could release an update that allows for it now?

I know! I mean the guy added A BACKYARD to his house, he has A FREAKING ISLAND, a PATH that leads to the gates, the gates have GIANT NES CONTROLLERS and A FOREST!! Its like God damn he has too much time in his hands!
And yes, making patterns in City Folk is hard as all hell. It takes a lot of patience and work to get a decent looking design.

Ah crap. I was trying to send it to EasyCure, and his AC name is Mike if I am not mistaken...
And yes, the DS to Wii features is disappointing in AC. They could have brought back Animal Island. Even if it was a third storage space for your stuff I really liked the island. I liked how even in the middle of winter the island was shining bright along with the unique character. It was also great taking the island to your GBA and seeing the villager interact with the stuff you left him or her.
The DS could have done this easily.

Seeing Maxi and GP's great collections of stuff in their houses was impressive and slightly intimidating (I have so far to go!), luckily they were kind enough to give me some great Nintendo items to liven up my tiny, barren house. I came into GP's town strutting around in the Red Pikmin hat that Nintendo's been giving away here, only to have GP then become resolved to commit Pikminicide by repeatedly attacking me with a watering can. For shame!

Thanks for the visit Maxi, don't know what happened with the disconnect though. I was going from Nookingtons second floor to first and then nothing. That was my first time in a Nookingtons EVER, and it was awesome!
I think i'll call it a night in AC though, sorry my visit to your town was so short. Maybe tomorrow.

Maxi: Maybe you should check your connection. Not to sound rude, but most of the disconnections I've experienced have happened when you were around.
Do you have anything on while you play? What type of connection do you have? What do you use to connect your Wii to the internet?
Check your router and your connection and maybe your games will play better.
EDIT: Maybe this thread by Pro should help: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=27301.0

I was a computer networks major so I should know these types of stuff as well. And it could be a lot of different reasons, I only get disconnects when verizon's router likes messing up to a point where I have to restart the services on my router.

The only disconnection I've experience that I know was my fault was when the power flickered and the router turned off. Also, this afternoon the connection dropped when I had my gates open because I was downloading something and the bandwidth was weak.
Again, not to put the blame on Maxi, but it seems most of my disconnections happen when he's in my village (or I am at his village).

When I entered a match you hosted it was incredibly butter smooth, even when it had four players, items and a very active stage. When when I dueled against Maxi it was laggy.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: NWR_pap64 on February 21, 2009, 07:20:19 PM
Today, I decided to overhaul my town and rethink my planting strategy.
After watching Josh Thomas' village video I noticed these things: - Themes - Consistency - Planned planting
Josh has many areas which are themed, including a forest area, a flowery entrance and even an island he deemed "Punch-Out Island". These definitely took time and planning to pull out, but the final results are stunning and shows off his dedication to his village.
I've decided to try and emulate this, starting first with the flowers. First, I decided to plant yellow roses at my gate. Ideally, I want these to be golden. But since golden roses take forever to make yellow roses work best at the moment.
Second, instead of planting random flowers at my villagers' houses I will plant the same flowers so the theme and color match. For the female villagers I will be planting red and white roses. For the guys, I will be planting red and yellow pansies. Yellow pansies work the best because they match the color of the "caution" patterns I have placed outside of their homes.
Third, I planted flowers around the random ponds that appear in my village. Like the houses, I decided to plant the same flowers. For example, the pond outside of my gates is covered in white cosmos. The ponds outside the museum are decorated with yellow cosmos. I may try to alternate between two colors in order to create striking flower patterns.
Fourth, for those dead patches of dirt around town I decided to create theme flower beds. I got this from a Mario Galaxy poster I have in my room. What I do is plant four flowers in a square pattern, then surround them in a circle of flowers of the same color. Again, its quite simple but striking and adds color and life to your dead parts of town.
Finally, I decided to experiment with tree planting. I noticed in Josh's video that his trees are neatly lined and in themes. I planted a lot of apple trees in the town hall area in a line and see if these grow. If they grow I'll have to replant my trees as well as place more pine trees. If they don't grow I'll have to see how to properly plant trees.
I may also steal Josh's backyard idea, but since my house is right in front of two houses I will use this on one of my alternate houses, and create a rose garden right behind it.
This will be a lot of work, but should make for a beautiful village.

I had company drop in unexpectedly so I won't be able to open my gate, maybe in a few hours.
Here's the description for Festivale from the City Folk Calendar app: Win candy from townsfolk by playing games with them. Give your winnings to Pavé, the dancing peacock emcee of the event, to win rare treats.
Hmmm... I hope the items are cool. I'm afraid of the idea of a peacock emcee though- yikes!

Yeah, that Peacock can go. When I mean go, I mean after gets his fix of 'candy.' And when I mean 'candy' that's gotta be code word for illicit substances. Think about it...
A)He needs some 'green' to calm down... B)Needs some 'blue' to 'speed' things up... C)'Yellow' for some 'zest'... D)Wants some 'red' for 'explosive' flavor... E)No matter how much you give him, he wants some more...
The fact that the animals have 'candy' in such steady supply is equally disturbing...

I stopped buying turnips because it more like gambling that actual business (hence why the stock market bothers me so much :p).
Anyways...SPRING HAS COME TO ANIMAL CROSSING!
When I woke up this morning I saw all the beautiful green and the big blue sky, and got all warm and happy inside. Its too bad the grass doesn't fully grow when spring arrives :( . But the trees are beautiful.
Speaking of which, I'm still working on replanting all my trees. I need to make a bushy, pine tree area near the museum. Can anyone send pine tree saplings my way? My Nooks only carries one pine tree per day and it will take a while.
I will really appreciate it.

CHECK IT OUT! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NRso3NaG9E&feature=related)
As for my town, the remodeling has been going great. Now the trees are neatly lined, and created acres of apple, pear, peach, cherry and orange trees which will bring in big money!
I also added a picnic area, complete with a blanket surrounded in cherries! I am also working on the park near the museum.
The biggest addition is a school! Being the dorky guy that I am, I made a fourth character just so I could town the left over house in a school, complete with hopscotch!
I still need more flowers and pine trees, but so far I am very happy with how my town is turning out.

So wait a pedo would have to go online, find some random kid in some message board or chatroom that has AC, enter their friend code, along the kid entering theirs. After that they meet in an AC town and what, the pedo talks to the kid with Wii Speak? Do they also bribe the kid with furniture and a Pikmin suit? Then um, invite them over to their real life AC house?

So I saw somewhere that you can get A leprechauns hat. It starts today and goes for a week.
Yeah, the mail pelican showed up when I played at 8 p.m EST. Thought it was odd that I'd get mail this late, but once I opened the present it made sense. I wonder why they didn't make it a proper holiday in the game...
I won't dignify this cop's drivel with a response.
In other news, looks like this weekend has both the fishing tourney and flea market! Coincidences FTW.

Does the town culminate your donations, or does it start from scratch after you pass a milestone? For example, you donated 200k for the bridge, and it costs 500k for the next one. Do you need to put 300k or start over?

If you donated more than the required amount it will be carried over to the funds. In other words, if you donated 500 K for the bridge, that leaves 200 K and you only need to deposit the amount needed to complete the project.

OK, I think its time I updated on my City Folk experience.
For the last few weeks I've been trying to collect as most items as possible. Everything from furniture to clothing items, I've even printed a huge 30 page check list and checked off everything that I have.
For this I've been going to an Animal Crossing Community that specializes on helping players get missing and rare items as well as helping them get the most out of their AC experience. They offer everything from auctions and trades to design and decorating tips.
Thanks to them I've been able to get the perfect Kiddie Set room, which gave me 120 K points from the HRA.
Right now I am planning on paying off the mortgages of my three other houses so I can remodel them and create themed rooms. For example, one house is going to serve as a daycare, school and hospital. The other house is going to be a boutique (hoping to give Gracie some competition) and finally my other house is going to offer a biker bar and a boxing ring. Combine this with the two Nintendo museums I have in my house and St. Hope will be a happening, busy place.
Once I finish this I hope to donate more bells to Town Hall and see if I get a windmill.
Once all of this is done I hope to open my town more often so everyone can some and check it out, even S_B (which has been MIA for a while now :( ).

One thing to remember guys; make sure to toss some unread and worthless letters. If you letter inventory is full Pete will not give you the DLC and you have to reload the save file just to try again.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

It's not a big deal, you can just wait for the next time he delivers (I think he does it twice a day, 9AM and 5PM).
I usually keep my letter slots full and that gives me 10 storage spaces for stuff like shells.

I like that Destructoid took a sarcastic approach. Also, The game has been censoring words for months now. I remember back in December trying to get one of my villagers to say something dirty (I forgot what), but the game wouldn't let me.
As for what my main character is wearing, he is rocking out the Hero's Hat (which is Link's hat + ears) and it looks nice with the Egyptian shirt.

My April Fool's joke... ;)
The picture is not from City Folk but from "My Pokemon Ranch". See there are these Mii characters who are designed to look like Pokemon. One character, who is a fan of "Aipom" has very large eyes and a creepy smile. So I got very close to her, took a snapshot and that's what you have on the message board :) .
The laugh is actually a ringtone I have on my celphone (along with many others). You can't hear it on the Wii Speak, but it grows louder with each successive laugh, maxing out the volume of your celphone.
You're welcome :) .
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on April 01, 2009, 11:07:33 PM
The laugh sounds more staticy as it plays so that must be because of the volume increase. It makes it even worse... I don't know if I can power on my system again knowing that thing is waiting for me...

Yeah you're right. Looking over the GameFAQs board further, people in North America got a black one whilst people in Europe got a white one. So if you want a white one then you'll have to trade with somebody from Europe.
No idea which colour Japan got, if any.

Pete (the mailman/pelican) will be waiting outside your door with a letter from Nintendo. If all of your letter slots are full, he will say you need to free up a spot and the next time you turn your game on you will get it. If you have free spots, he will just give you the letter and the letter will have the DLC attached.
So far North America has gotten a Red Pikmin hat, a Cloverleaf Hat (I think that is what it's called) and now A Nintendo DSi Bench. I think we also got a box of chocolates.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on April 07, 2009, 06:05:08 PM
I'm not sure how it works, but I thought that you had to actually play on April 5th to get the DSi couch, otherwise you wouldn't receive one. There are people on GameFAQs who didn't play on the 5th and are complaining that they didn't get one.
The DSi gets added to Nook's catalogue, so anyone who received one can buy as many as they want. If you don't receive one, perhaps you could work out a deal with someone who has them. They cost around 19,000 I believe.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

The cloverleaf was on St. Patrick's day, so I don't know. Not sure why you only just got the Red Pikmin hat when Nintendo sent it out a few months ago for those in the US.

First off...Man its been weeks since I last played City Folk! Life has gotten so busy for me that I haven't sat down to catch up on my village.
Mop: That room is called "Nintendo Heaven", a place for all things Nintendo. It was going to be a massive project but then I got very busy and haven't been able to fully organize it. The room was even going to include the DSi bench!

I just recently switched from the Snowman theme to the Egg theme. I only have 2 complete sets, along with most from other sets. The annoying thing is getting the stuff you use Nook's bonus points to buy. You get 1 point for every 100 bells you spend at his shop. The most expensive item you can redeem points for is the Kart at 20,000 points (or about 2 million bells worth of purchases), so it is taking a lot of time and money to get them all. Luckily Nook tends to have promos once or twice a month where you get 5X points (so buying a White Katana at 26,000 bells will get you 1,500 points).

i caught a flea on a bear character. My girlfriend thought it was cute that the animals can catch fleas.
I caught a flea on Bella the rat. It seemed appropriate, though she swore up and down that she wasn't dirty...
Oh, so when an animal has black dots hopping from them, those are fleas? I had no idea what that was for. The first time I saw it happen was during a fishing tournament. The animal that had fleas was the one with the biggest catch thus far in the tournament. I thought it was a sign that the animal was in the lead.
Then it happened on a non-tournament day, and got more confused about it. I guess I should read FAQs more often about this game.

Same here. I got rid of my Snowman theme, since I want a fresh start, but haven't picked a theme.
That's my wife's current theme for her house. I think I might make my living room a garden with lots of plants and a pond. I think there's an indoor pond that I've seen before.

The word filter in this game is annoying. Does anyone have a list of all the words which are blocked? Apparently it censors more than just curse words, as it wouldn't let me enter "stupid" or "donuts" either. I'm guessing the latter one was because of "nuts".

Try using letters that have accents or ulmaults (sp?). I have Vesta the sheep doing a greeting saying "Baahh Bitch!", but I used an 'i' with an accent. Why such an upfront greeting? To let Vesta get out some out of that hostility!

Post by: TJ Spyke on April 24, 2009, 09:26:14 PM
Joan sells turnips in you town every Sunday from 6AM to noon. She will sell 1 red turnip (though sometimes she doesn't have any) for 1,000 bells and you plant it, you have to water it every day but if you wait a week before digging it back up you can sell it for 16,000. You can also but white turnips. She will sell these in batches of 10 or 100 (i.e. you can't buy 54 turnips) and will sell them fro anywhere between 80 and 110 bells per turnip. From Monday through Thursday Nook will offer 2 prices per day for turnips (one before noon and one after noon), Saturday is your last day to sell though since turnips spoil after 1 week. Some weeks though Nook will never offer you a price that makes you a profit.

LOL at MiP. Didn't someone decide to call you Mop it up?
I have been holding on to that money because I've been tight on cash without a job. But I'm moving back with my folks and going back to my old job at Pizza Hut for a while to save up money to return and finish school later. Since I have work again I feel safe spending it instead of holding it for a financial emergency. And my folks do have a good internet connection, it's the one I used in both the Mario Kart and Bomberman Wi-Fi nights.
When the game comes in the mail and I get it set up I'll post my codes. Do you all have WiiSpeak as well?

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on May 06, 2009, 08:12:51 PM
I sold the WiiSpeak because I don't need it... or didn't need it. The store I was at had only the bundles, so I bought one and sold the accessory. The only reason I got the game was because two of my friends had it and wanted me to get it, neither of whom have WiiSpeak. We just talk on the phone whilst we play.
But then, a couple people on another forum I visit bought the game, and when they found out I had it they kind of insisted that I play it with them. My friends aren't comfortable with the possibility of random people showing up when we play, so I created a second character to use for people on that forum.
If there are now people here on this forum who want to play, then I think I'll create a third character. It's a strange way to organize things I know, but that's the way I like to do it.
If anyone who plays with me wants to use WiiSpeak I don't mind, but it might be kind of awkward since I have to use the text chat.

With my first character's house now finished, I've been juggling the other three characters trying to build up their houses as well. Now it's time to increase the madness by opening the gates to NWR!
Here's my information:

Special Item: White Nintendo DSi Bench! I will sell a white Nintendo DSi to anyone who wants one for $15,000. That's $3,900 less than what it costs to purchase one, so you're getting a deal on a rare item. If you want one, let me know before we meet up so I can order it.

Thanks! I laid down a brick pattern as a sort of pathway so that I'll stick to walking on it and avoid killing all of my grass. It looks a lot better than the dirt walkways that are forming.
I think I have all of the different fruit types now thanks to you. The next time we meet up, I'll have a White Nintendo DSi Bench ready to give you.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

Yes you can change what the carpet and wallpaper looks like.Nook has lots of different carpets and wallpaper.When you pay off your first morgage on the house you can change the roof color.Also when Nooks gets big enough he sells paint. I just go by what location I want.Check out all 4.See what fits you. Did you get the bundle or just the game?

Post by: BeautifulShy on May 14, 2009, 01:11:56 AM
That`s a good deal.
The only questions at the start of the game are the ones that cat asks you at the start of the game while on the bus.Depending on what you answer determines what you look like.
It doesn't really matter about the questions that Tortamer asks you.

OK, can I start to visit other peoples towns and have them visit mine now or do I have to wait until after a scripted event.
And will Nook ever give me a break and pay me? I've done four or five erands for him and he hasn't given me anything.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 14, 2009, 02:19:44 AM
I think you have to get done with what Nook tells you do do. It doesn't take that long and by the sound of it you are almost done.Nook doesn't give you anything. The best way to get things is doing things for your animal townsfolk, Going to another town and someone would give you something.Also on certain days you can get something from Tortamer.
To start out I would get a fishing rod,bug catching net and 2 shovels.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on May 14, 2009, 02:29:41 AM
But how can I get them if I don't have any money?
Also, why do I need two shovels? One for yard work and the other for taking care of people I don't like? ;D
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 14, 2009, 02:40:36 AM
Well you get 2 shovels because you can bury 1 with the other.Wait a few days and a tree sprouts up.There will be a Golden Shovel.With it when you are digging holes with it you can sometimes get money.
The best way to get money at this point is to sell some of your native fruit to Nook and grab seashells by the seashore to sell to Nook.You can also shake the trees.Sometimes money comes out of them. Also you can sell what ever the townsfolk give you but I wouldn't do that.Once you get enough get the fishing rod than the other items.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on May 14, 2009, 02:53:35 AM
OK. I'll do that then. I turned off the game for the moment because I got tired of being Nook's whipping boy. Plus the way my sister was entranced by the game I may be vying with her for play time. Might have to get her her own game to keep her off mine, ha. And she said it didn't interest her a while back.
I might be able to convince her to get her own copy of this instead of the new mystery dungeon game she wants to save up for. She already owns three of those :-\

I'm hesitant to place it in the FC thread because I don't want to have to add everyone like the thread asks. I'd rather just exchange with people who I know and interact with on the boards. Not random people who only logged on to exchange codes.
I'm funny like that.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on May 14, 2009, 03:44:11 AM
Note that the town is randomly generated. If you don't like your town, you might want to start over and see if you can get a better town.
I believe you have to run six errands total for Tom Nook before you're done with that. Don't be afraid to take off your work uniform though, there's no consequence and you don't have to wear that ugly thing. Plus Nook's reaction is priceless.
Buy a fishing rod as soon as you can. There are gold in them thar fish! You can get a lot of money from selling the fish that you catch, I would suggest selling them in the beginning and worry about donating them to the museum later. Fish in the ocean, those are generally worth more. I seem to catch a lot of Red Snappers, which are worth $3,000 each.
After you finish with Nook's errands, that's when you can get your friend code and start visiting others. It could be beneficial to do this early on; Maxi and I have a lot of different types of fruit, and Tom Nook will pay $500 for a piece of foreign fruit even if you grow it in your own town. What kind of fruit grows in your town?
If a coconut washes up on the beach, bury it to grow a coconut palm.
As Maxi was saying, if you leave a shovel buried for 24 hours then dig it up, it will become a golden shovel. You won't need this in the beginning though, as its benefit is that you can bury money and have it grow into a money tree. You'd need a lot of money or else the tree won't grow.
Might have to get her her own game to keep her off mine, ha. And she said it didn't interest her a while back.
Why would you buy her a game of your own? Can't you share? Does she even have her own system? Because otherwise that's incredibly pointless.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on May 14, 2009, 03:53:09 AM
On the matter of my sister, yes, she has a Wii that her and my parents use. I have my own. So the incentive of us both getting games is that we can visit each others towns. Plus I'm only staying with my folks temporarily.
My code is in my sig now. PM me your codes and I'll enter them. It would be nice to get some pointers as I'm a little confused. I'm also sad because the nightlife in the game is non-existent. Everything is closed so I can't buy anything to fish or dig with :(
How do you breed/cross pollinate flowers and fruits? One of the signs mentioned planting flowers together. I have apples in my town. I've started shaking down the local trees for money ;D Only I got attacked by some crazy bees. Now I'm all swollen and puffy.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 14, 2009, 04:03:13 AM
What is your town name and the name you go by in the game Stratos?
About your questions.Growing flowers together works for crossbreeding them.I haven't done it myself but I have been to a few towns that have done it. As far as I can tell you can't crossbreed fruits.
About your face.You can go into the city via the bus in the morning. You can get a Mii mask and put it on to hide any swollenness.I believe the first time you go to the barber shop you can get it for free.
Edit: PMed my info Stratos
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

My code is a few posts up, but here it is again since you're lazy:
Code: 0345-5979-9443
If you plan to play this game late at night, you may want to consider altering your Wii clock. That's what I do sometimes because I'm generally a night player myself. If you ever set the clock backwards, just be sure not to set it back farther than the last time the game thinks you played.
I haven't figured out how to crossbreed flowers yet. There are two ways to acquire new types of fruit. The easiest is to visit another person's town and bring their fruit back with you, then plant it. Coconuts will also wash up on the beach. The second way is to send a piece of fruit in a letter to your villagers, and they might send you back a different type of fruit.
Don't worry about the bee sting, it won't hurt you. You would need to buy medicine from the store to clear it up, but it will also heal after you save and quit.

Unfortunately I won't have a home internet connection for the next week. Finish moving most of my stuff with my Dad Sat then go to a bachelor party, Sunday is a wedding rehearsal for a DIFFERENT wedding, Monday is said different wedding, Wednesday is when I have to be out of my Portland apartment, Friday is a wedding rehearsal and Saturday is the last wedding. I've been in way too many weddings...like 8 in the last few years. I just...need less friends it seems ;)
I only have like two single friends now.
Thankfully most of them have stopped egging me on about finding a good wife, settling down and having kids.
So Memorial Day Weekend and afterward I should have some time to spare. Maybe that very weekend if you want.

Yeah, I was just in the city prowling around and wishing the AC nightlife was more exciting like Portland or Seattle. Give me a minute to go back to town.

It takes about a week for the fountain to be built.
Don't waste time with Gracie, her shop starts selling out of items several weeks before they change. I got screwed out of some winter items because about 3 weeks before the spring switch she was out of several items.
Stratos and mop, I will add you both later tonight. I just have to delete some people since my list is full. I am pretty much available all day on the weekends and any time after 2PM Monday through Thursday.
Stratos, a piece of advice for stuff. Once you buy enough coffee from Brewster (I forgot how much), he will let you store your Gyroids with him (a limit of 1 of each though). This will help free up space.

Um...Maxi, I forgot you were getting me tools and I bought a shovel. I kind of got excited that I had money and spent it without waiting.

That's Ok Stratos.I got a shovel so you can do that Golden Shovel trick.

OK, what other tools did you get or was that it?
I have enough for a net and I'm wondering if I should get one now or wait for you.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 15, 2009, 04:24:07 PM
I got a shovel,net,axe,watering can.
You have a fishing rod so that leaves the slingshot. There is one more tool but the slingshot wasn't in stock.I might have one in my storage. Edit: No slingshot other than my silver one.Can't get one in my catalog.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on May 15, 2009, 04:34:43 PM
Wow, awesome. I didn't know there were that many tools in the game. Can you shoot other people with the slingshot? You could arrange a game of tag or capture the flag or something with those. Now I want to try and arrange a game like that.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 15, 2009, 04:40:15 PM
You can't shoot the slingshot at other people.It is used for shooting down balloons out of the sky.In the ballons are special items.
If you want to antagonize people the axe,net and watering can are better tools to do so.

I only did it because turnips were at 600 bells in my town and saw it was easy money to let people in and charge them 99K per trip. I ended up making like 4 million bells, I think it was just 1 person who did it.

Too late. I already got the wallpaper and carpet, so I might as well finish it up.
I believe Gracie changes the line-up every three months or so, with the last few weeks of the 3rd month being a fire sale. Since they had the new line up in May, I figure August is when they're going to change up again. Ohh its going to take some bells, but I sure as hell going to try...

Its all about luck/timing. My luck has it they every time I buy turnips, the best I get is 10% return rate. When I don't have turnips, its anywhere from 50-200%... :'(

I didn't mean don't buy stuff from her, I meant to say don't waste time waiting to buy stuff. But stuff from her as soon as you can afford it. Luckily her summer stuff isn't too bad. The most expensive item in the Gracie Series (which is the summer set) is 240K. Her winter set is more expensive.

LOL, the turnip black market seems brutal.
I may be on in a little bit for a short while. If anyone wants to chill. I can't use the mic because everyone else is a sleep in the house. I'm thinking I need to rework my schedule if I want to use it without disturbing others in my house. Maybe shoot for early afternoons/evenings when I'm not working or something.

After the 23rd I could do that. Then the stores could be open for us to go visit. I need to get my Mii mask some time.

My town had a Red Snapper tournament. This is the first time I opted out intentionally, since there's no way I'm going to let Chuck eat 3k worth of fish, just to have it not measure up. At first I thought that meant that more Red Snappers would show up, but it wasn't the case. Did catch some tropical fish though....
Mr.Leahy graced GP, Maxi and myself with his presence albeit it was for a short while. Hanging out at 4:30 am, UK time? That's a trouper.

OK
Maybe I should just post my code there. Do other people enter everyone on the page they post on like it's requested to do? I don't want to have to enter people I don't know or won't play with. I'd rather just pick and choose who I enter from the list. Is that OK?

I filled up my slots once but deleted people that aren't really active on the forums.

There are probably others but I don't have the best of memories. I think GoldenPhoenix usually gets it right, even though she didn't the last time she said it.

So my town not rained today, but it was a thunderstorm, a first for me. When I went to an indoor area, the windows would flash for a brief moment... :o
I also found an empty lamp lying somewhere randomly, like something out of Aladin. I can't equip it, and it only gives me the option to drop. Anyone know what its used for?

The empty lamp is for Wisp! Walk around your town past...8:00PM, I think....on the night you you found it until you run into him. You give him his lamp back and he grants you a wish! He can even get rid of all the weeds in your town.
Also since it's summer I can finally play this game on a regular basis, so expect to see me online more. Hopefully I can barge into someone's town at some point. I still don't even have all the fruit!

Nook sells some paintings too, but seem to be extremely rare. I got a basic painting off him, though it was the first time he offered the painting since I started playing since late November. Count on him to give you the real deal every time...
I've been slowly and steadily getting the Gracie furniture, but its not getting me the huge HRA score I envisioned. I'm missing 2 pieces, which happening to be the most expensive ones. Though I don't expect it to boost my score to 6 figures. Room looks nice though, I'll let the people know when its finally complete...

thatguy if you start a new game you have a few things to do. You have to pick your house and do some things for Nook.That will take 30 mins or so.

OH NO! I'll see what happens. My town's name is FRANKTON, after my cat, Frank.

Post by: BeautifulShy on June 11, 2009, 07:57:38 PM
Oh so you already have a town. Well if you did the above it should only take a few minutes.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 11, 2009, 07:58:45 PM
Gonna open up my gates.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

No, no, I just made my town, right before I posted that.

Oy, not again.
Maybe Maxi should try this time. Third time's a charm...
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 11, 2009, 08:17:15 PM
I'll open my gates now.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 11, 2009, 08:33:44 PM
I was looking and I didn't see your town online, Maxi. I'll try again in a minute.
I wonder if I'm causing the DCs. Though Mop it up was wishing for not DCs on my lamp when Maxi showed up, but we didn't get a DC for another 10 minutes or so.
What do I do with the lamp, by the way?
When you are allowed to roam freely, thatguy, go to your town gate and talk to the guy on the left. He'll give you your FC. Then just post them here and we'll enter them.
My name it Nate, my town it Antioch and my FC is in my sig. Post yours and I'll add them.
Once you've got each others FC info then just talk to the same guard and either ask him to open your gate to visitors can come over or ask to go out to another persons town. Choose the town you want to visit if you are leaving and then you will go there.
PS-Maxi and Mop it up, I killed the spider in my room. Bugger tried to cross my floor and get into my basket of clean laundry. I showed him a thing or three.

That raccoon is always a slave driver. Here we go: 3266 2545 8446 My name is "Jason," and the town's name is FRANKTON.
About time. I'll add you, Maxi, and Mop_it_up pretty quickly.
Edit: Done. Should I look for one of you to have a town open soon, or open my gates?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 11, 2009, 08:56:33 PM
Stupid DC's...
Alright, well, Maxi's game is on now so he won't be back tonight. Now who should visit who? You want to join us now ThatGuy? Maybe we'd have better luck at your town...
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 11, 2009, 08:59:51 PM
thatguy I'll add you in a minute. Here is my info.
Name: Aaron Town: Looney Code:2965-2423-4314. I'll add you at halftime of the finals game.Gonna start in a min.
Mop_it_up and Stratos I know you were getting things. Tell me what you were getting from Nook and I'll get those for you.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: that Baby guy on June 11, 2009, 09:01:24 PM
Sure, I've got the gate open, you can come over, but there's not much going on over here.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 11, 2009, 09:02:29 PM
Well that's okay thatguy, it's better than getting DC'd!
I bought your flowers Maxi. I was going to plant them in your town, so don't worry about it.
Nice job killing that spider Stratos. Put your laundry away and maybe they'd have nowhere to hide. :P
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 11, 2009, 09:29:22 PM
It was a basket of extra laundry. I don't know where to put it in my new room. I don't have any more drawer space. I might have to get one of those cheap plastic drawer bins.
I've been sitting with my gate open just doing whatever since I didn't see anyones town open.
I'll add your info thatguy.
Maxi, I was eying the cubby hole thing (assuming you can store things in it, if you can't I don't want it) and also the Mahjong table. Especially the Mahjong table if I had to choose. I can just come back another day and pick it up, or does his stock chnge daily? I used the money to finish paying off my house but I'll probably get a good chunk of it back in the next dar or two.

Post by: that Baby guy on June 11, 2009, 09:34:32 PM
Mop_it_up and I will come over and visit, Stratos, we'll be there in a moment.

Post by: Stratos on June 12, 2009, 01:55:48 AM
Most of my foreign fruit trees haven't grown yet or I had already taken their fruit for the day. But I'll gladly take more of them.
That was a lot of fun today. I had a blast with you guys. We should do it again some time.
I bought the first house expansion so I'll get to see it tomorrow.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 12, 2009, 02:06:58 AM
That last disconnect was bad timing. What was it you tried to take Maxi? I could save it for you or try to mail it too you.
That was an interesting night for sure... but a bit long. Seven hours! Next time let's make it shorter...
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 12, 2009, 02:08:08 AM
Mop_it_up can you open your gates again real quick. I think two things that I wanted are still in your town.
There was 2 wallpapers that I wanted.

Mine's peaches. You can come steal some next time I turn the game on, or something. They might be tasty if Nook weren't such a price-Nazi.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 12, 2009, 02:25:31 AM
Mine were peaches. But there's only a few of those left. Now the fruit I have most of is apples, followed by oranges. But I just picked it all the other day so there wasn't any today.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 12, 2009, 02:28:11 AM
Well I was asking because I have all the fruit thatguy.So I could give you some if you like. Today all of my fruit got picked so it will be a few days till they grow back.
Do you have anything to store things in?

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 12, 2009, 12:36:46 PM
I have a AC question.
Does the Wii version read the GC saves? & does the DS version connect to the Wii version?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: EasyCure on June 12, 2009, 02:22:45 PM
no and yes.
i'll let someone else do the explaining on the second one.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 12, 2009, 02:46:17 PM
i'll let someone else do the explaining on the second one.
no it doesn't read the GC save? or it does, but it doesn't benefit you?
were you answering both questions or just the bolded one? sorry for being slightly confused.
No it doesn't read your GC saves
Yes it does connect to Wild World, but i'm not sure what kind of connection you're expecting. It's not like the GC game with the GBA adaptor, there is no island, but you can import your DS character into City Folk. However, i'm not sure if this means all of your status is transfered over (ie if you paid off your house, do you start off with a mansion??) or just the character him/herself and whatever is in their pockets.
You can also use the DS game to transfer your City Folk Character to another City Folk game in order to visit their town. When you speak to Rover or whatever his name is (the guy in charge of the town gate) he'll ask you how you want to visit another town, and this option is called the "DS Suitcase"

That was an interesting night for sure... but a bit long. Seven hours! Next time let's make it shorter...
I had a blast. I also loved how we had the 'text' conversation and the voice chat going at the same time.
Playing Hide Mop it up's Fossil was pretty silly as well. ;D
Though I do feel bad for how many times I accidentally wrecked you roads and stuff. I don't feel bad about heckling you to get WiiSpeak though :D
Does anything special happen if we all go to the city together? We should do that next time.
I need to go boot the game as I want to see my new expanded house.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: that Baby guy on June 13, 2009, 12:08:03 AM
Just... you know. Be ready to see people next time. I've got the "astonished" face now, or whatever it's called. If I see your hair like that again... well...

We also have photographic proof of Mop it up and I's bedhead hair. There's a thread in the funhouse for AC pictures. Someone go upload yours. I got a couple different shots that night, though I think I overwrote half of them because I forget to save them. I got all Pokemon Snap crazy on the camera button and assume they are saved. :/
I need to find my SD to USB drive so I can upload them.

You can't visit the city when your gate is open. If you try then it says something about how the next bus won't be coming for a while. You can wait for it but it will never come.
I also loved how we had the 'text' conversation and the voice chat going at the same time.
What I like is hearing the mysterious background noises of people with Wii Speak and trying to guess what they are. I have no idea what was happening at your place but I heard a few weird noises throughout the night, one of which sounded like a chair breaking. And that little encounter with the spider was also entertaining.

I'd like evidence of those "treets" before making my decision. For some reason, I doubt their existence.
I'm pretty sure I heard a food processor over a Wii Speak microthingy.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 13, 2009, 12:53:59 PM
My chair is noisy. The rest were Maxi's noises. I think he turned his volume up loud or something. Or maybe I just can't hear my own sounds.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

It sounded like you had other people there.
My Mom almost came upstairs calling "Natey!" LOL, I felt like one of those 35-year-old 'loser nerds' who live in their parents basement. But I told her I was on voice chat. She hates to be overheard like that.
Though I thought it was hilarious how Djunknown would shout "No body move! I see a bug!". I loved it.

Post by: Stratos on June 13, 2009, 03:22:59 PM
Really? There were only two people w/ WiiSpeak on at a time.
First Maxi, then Djunknown showed up a little after Maxi left.
Maxi doesn't talk much. I'm the loud, boistrous and obnoxious one. Which shows I'm pretty comfortable around you all. I don't get this way unless I feel I know you well enough or we click right off the bat.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 13, 2009, 03:34:55 PM
Yeah, and I didn't even realize that was Djunknown, remember? I thought it was still Maxi! You'd think I'd have figured it out, what with him being all talkative and not sneezing and all. But no, I was largely oblivious. And I thought it was you who kept telling everyone to stop moving whenever you saw a bug. :-[
Maybe you could change your voice next time? Throw in an accent or something so I can distinguish you from Maxi and Djunknown?

I haven't played this in months but I'm feeling the urge to return. I never completed Project Falcon, I still need to find an Unknown Machine to finish construction. I didn't stop playing Wild World until I'd done everything, I didn't stop playing the original until using the Action Replay in order to give me infinite money and a complete catalog so I could get all the NES games took the fun out of it, I need to finish my work.

That reminds me of an old Animal Crossing story I read somewhere. Can't recall where online, but it had to do with "The dark underbelly of Animal Crossing". Where a person created a second dummy account on another memory card and used it to surpass his roommate and dominate the AC world.
It was quite an entertaining and humorous read. If I ever recover my HDD I'll have to share it with you all.

So with my basement paid off I can focus on my town. I started to plant some flowers around my town.Paticularly in spots where it is dirt. I also got some new insects and fish.

I feel like I should come back to this game as well, but I'm going away for 6 weeks in July so I'm hesitant to get consumed by it again. Also, I has a crap ton of flowers and no weeds when I stopped and I'm scared to see what my town looks like now. I dread the thought.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Djunknown on June 14, 2009, 11:50:42 PM
Might as well pick them out now. Or you can open your gate, and have people help you pick them out, speed up the process. Then after your July vacation you can do it over again ;)
I had Wally the Walrus show up when I booted the game yesterday! He gave me a design of the mayor, and went on his way. DLC, perhaps?

We came back just in time for the DLC Fri I guess. We also got our DSi in the mail still from a while back. Guess it's good I keep WiiConnect on.
Anyway if people around here are still playing I guess I'll dig up my friend code and see if anyone wants to visit or let me visit.

Maxi, I'm about to get a shower, and head out...
But! I can open up my town real quick, and leave it open during that time, so if you like, you can stop on by and pick up those flowers. My Nook should be open. Bring a few fruits, too, if you care to, and just throw them on the ground. Just... don't expect to hear from me during this :p

How many days does it take for fruit to regrow and does watering the trees make them grow faster?
I got a Nook N' Go, I'm very pleased. It appears to be open 24-7. Was that your doing, Maxi? I didn't do anything, but I thought you had to tell Nook you wanted the store open more. If so, thanks.
I might be on in a little bit.

At first, your store will expand after a certain amount of time, or a certain amount of money spent, I'm not sure which. Once you reach the largest store, Nookington's, that is when he may ask you what you want in the store, and can choose to go back to a previous size store if you want longer hours.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 15, 2009, 07:27:36 PM
Stratos if you didn't have a Nookinton's ever than after buying and selling a certain amount of money than it expands to the next store level. Here is the order. Nook's Cranny, Nook & Go, Nookway, than Nookington's. As Mop_it_up mentioned once you reach Nookington's you can change the store size at some point. Sorry for the late reply, been asleep most of the day.

Well I went back to the game. According to the animals in my town I hadn't played for 4 months but it really didn't seem like that many weeds, it didn't take long to get rid of them.
If anyone can find me an Unknown Machine I will do whatever I can to repay you.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: that Baby guy on June 16, 2009, 12:13:56 AM
Maxi, fyi, if you're in my town, for a few days or so, you can take the flowers. I don't care for how they're set up, and I'll be replanting new ones eventually, so if you don't take the ones I have now, I'll end up killing them, anyways. When I play, I open my gate, just because, so check randomly, and you might find me.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Armak88 on June 16, 2009, 12:20:35 AM
I got back to my town today and started pulling weeds and re-planting flowers. It'll probably take at least a week to return my town to it's former glory. I'm also working on making hybrids. The saddest part of playing again was that I had this one really nice garden made of all yellow flowers and they're all gone. Also, there were 5 cockroaches in my house... I killed the roaches though, so no need to call the exterminator. I'd like to see some of you're guys towns, it's been forever since I've been to Maxi's of DJunknown's.

I can't play right now, but drop a line on here when you're ready anyways, I might be able to usurp the television by then.

Well I went back to the game. According to the animals in my town I hadn't played for 4 months but it really didn't seem like that many weeds, it didn't take long to get rid of them.
If anyone can find me an Unknown Machine I will do whatever I can to repay you.
I have an Unknown Machine now. What will you give me for it? Perhaps some classified information on a certain secret project? ;D
And where's Djunknown? My animals seem to like him better than me considering how much they talk about him.
Oh, and one of them told me to tell Maxi hi. I think it was the teddy.

I don't really know what I can offer you; you're welcome to check out the project once I finish it which I can't do until I get a basement. Since I haven't played in 4 months I can't remember how close I was to getting it.

Well, offer me something cool and videogame related and I'll give it to you. I still haven't found any cool Nintendo stuff in the game.
Also, I don't think i have your FC stuff for the game.
Give it to me and I'll add you.
My town is Antioch and I go by Nate there.

How about a Triforce? I've even got one of those handy right in my house so I don't have to spend any money on buying it out of the catalog.

Either place is fine with me. I'll punch in your code and be on in about half an hour or so if you want to meet up. I want lunch first.
A question on the catalogue: does it keep items in there even if you don't have it anymore? Like if I give you the Mysterious Machine, could I later order another from the catalogue or will it dissapear from it once I give mine away?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: NWR_insanolord on June 16, 2009, 05:16:39 PM
The catalog tracks anything you've had in your possession ever, so yeah, you can just buy another one if you want it after you give it to me. And what I want is the Unknown Machine, not the Mysterious machine, I hope that's not a problem. Why don't you come to my town, I haven't had many guests, I'll go open my gate.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: NWR_insanolord on June 16, 2009, 05:52:34 PM
I had to go, so we'll have to do it another time. Also, I accidentally sold your Triforce because I had it in my inventory when I was selling a bunch of stuff and clicked it by mistake, so I had to order another one.

So Maxi plucked my delicate flowers, and now we're running around town catching Rainbow Stags left and right. Literally. One of us will catch one, send a message, and by the time he's done, another will have been caught. I'm thinking the number of snails on the flowers (Or other bugs) really limited how many tree-based bugs could appear. It's just a thought, but really. They're everywhere.

I'm picturing Mop it up cringing right now.
She yelled at me for trampling my own flowers. And that was her fault because she pushed me into them.

Post by: Mop it up on June 16, 2009, 09:20:56 PM
You were running behind me from where I was looking, so lag must have put me beside you. And I didn't "yell" at you, I had just pointed it out.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

OK, it wasn't yelling, it was crying emoticons.
You made me feel bad for doing it...

Post by: Mop it up on June 16, 2009, 09:29:33 PM
Sorry. It was meant more of a "be careful" sort of thing. At the time I didn't think how I might have caused it accidentally through lag. I guess it is dangerous to travel so closely because you never know exactly where the other person might be...

Looking through my closet I saw that I've got most of what I need for my project, all that's left that I can think of is an Office Locker and a Robo TV. Oh, and a globe that I'm going to have to break my own rule and time travel to get.

Are you saying you don't need the machine? If you're available I'll be on for a little bit. But not for long. I'm going to go to bed in the next hour. I gotta lick this cold and sleep another 12 hours or more.

I don't know what it's called, you get it from the Mayor on some holiday. If you're going to be nice enough to give me a Robo TV I'd better fix my hair before we meet. Also, Stratos is officially the greatest for coming through with the Unknown Machine. Now I need to get myself a basement.

Maybe you get the globe on Columbus Day here in USA? If you're from another country maybe it's given to you on you home country's discovery day. Most countries have one of those, right?
I think on Thursday we should invent the game of Animal Crossing-CTF. I also have ideas for a few other games. Some involving the pitseed things ;D

I have a great friend, he sent me a bunch of stuff I was looking for (including the Cool Globe, so I don't need that, Mop_it_up) as well as 200,000 bells so I could pay off my basement. I can't wait until tomorrow, my basement will be complete and if Mop_it_up comes through with the Robo TV I should have everything I need to complete my life's work.

Well, that's probably for the better. I do have a Cool Globe, though I have only one and it is a "not for sale" item. I was debating whether or not I should give it away, but now I don't have to decide.
Don't worry about the Robo TV, I have it all ready for you to pick up. :)

11,800? That's a paltry sum of cash. I'll take it there weren't any Rainbow Stags involved? You can ask Maxi, they were out and about in my town the other day. Speaking of Maxi, my wifi disconnected while you were leaving, so I'm not sure if you made it out with the flowers, because I still had them growing in my town. I was going to mail them to you... but :( I can't until I visit your town, apparently. So, at some point, I need to visit your town.

You could make some good money if you charged people an entry fee to your town so they could come and catch all the Rainbow Stags they can find.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

That would only work if my town was a proven Rainbow Stag breeding ground. I don't think one night like that here can convince people that it would be worth spending money on. Maybe after several more crazy Stag nights I could charge.
Next time you cone over, I'll get you some flowers. Let me look in my back ward and see what the options are :D

You try and kick the person who pays the internet bill off of the internet. I am blessed to have been able to move in temporarily with my folks without rent while I get back on my feet after moving back from Portland.

I got my fountain today! It destroyed my path and made a few items disappear but oh well, that was useless junk anyway.
I can't decide if I want to donate for the windmill/lighthouse just now... If I did that I wouldn't be a millionaire anymore! :(

As far as I know that is either the 2nd or third fountain that this forum has had.I know S_B was the first.
I think if you guys want an axe you should mail your axes to Mop_it_up. I'm thinking about getting a Golden Axe.

I've had a fountain for months and only recently have I tried going for a golden or silver axe. I've been doing it nearly every day for at least three weeks (probably more like four, actually) and I haven't gotten a damn thing. I've lost a lot of axes though.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

I hear it depends on your karma. I probably won't even try it because I'm not around enough to fulfill the desires of the villagers.

After weeks and weeks, the Gracie collection is COMPLETE. Everyone must come and see this marvelous display of luxurious furniture. Not too mention I entered the Bug-Off, with only 15 minutes left to go, and won. One of the better AC days I've had in recent memory...
Its interesting that Nat comes off as an British-bugs lizard with refinement, but resists his urge to eat insects, while Chuck revels in his appetite for fish. Nat insults me by saying he's giving them the bugs 'a good home.' Yeah, a good home in his stomach!
With the Gracie quest done, now I'm left with the next challenge. Do something with the basement? Resume donating to get the windmill/lighthouse? Make new designs? Hmmm...

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 21, 2009, 01:50:34 AM
Thanks for visiting my town Mop_it_up.Thanks for planting some trees.
So you have to donate 200,000 for the bridge. 500,000 for the fountain and 1 million for the windmill or lighthouse. I'm pretty close for the fountain.
Also I am going to keep my gate open till Midnight PST. So 1 hour and 10 mins. If you want to visit me after that time it has to be 30 mins after Midnight.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 21, 2009, 01:57:23 AM
It's 200,000 bells for the bridge. Also the money doesn't carry over, so after you donate the 200k for the bridge you'll need an additional 500k for the fountain. To get all three items you need 1.7 million total.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 21, 2009, 02:00:18 AM
Hmmm can you go after one of those first say the fountain. Then go after the lighthouse then bridge.Does it have to be in a specific order?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

I have no idea what she's talking about, GP. I'll accept you and your awesome bedheadedness :) I still have my bedhead. I think it is the coolest hair in the game.
When will you be on? I can come over and help pull weeds to if you'd like.
I have to leave at five PM though because I have work tonight. Do you have WiiSpeak?
I think I won my Bug-Off. I entered a orchid mantis to take the lead but I had to leave before it ended. I'm assuming my prize/trophy or whatever will just be in the mail or something?
I got the Mario Stache, Maxi. Thanks :)

I'm a little confused as to how turnips work. Do you just buy a few and then keep regrowing more from those few or do you only get one harvest out of them? I need to buy some this Sunday.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 26, 2009, 07:15:02 PM
If nobody gives you a direct answer then there's always GameFAQs. Might want to read through this if you have time:
So is this game worth it for $5? The bundle with Wii Speak is $5 more than just Wii Speak.
I have never played Animal Crossing.
I would say go for it. The main complaint I've heard about this game is how similar it is to the previous games, but if you've never played any of them then that won't matter to you. I've never played the previous ones either so I can't say if that complaint is justified or not.
I will say, this game is not for everyone. It flows pretty slowly, so if you're craving action then this is definitely NOT for you. If all you like to do is compete in games then you won't find that here.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 27, 2009, 04:38:38 PM
Yeah, there are things to collect and catch and you have the goal of buying upgrades to your house and paying them off. Think of it like Harvest Moon without the dating sim aspect and not as much focus on farming. That's what the games strikes me as. So if you hate Harvest Moon this may not suit you. Though interacting with other people and playing "hide Mop it up's fossils" is pretty fun :D
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 27, 2009, 04:42:58 PM
You might have to put up with people who pick on you too. So I hope you can handle that. And you have to buy me presents.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 27, 2009, 04:54:32 PM
See, while everyone else got caught up in Conduit, I still faithfully played the game every day before going online in BWii or Conduit.
Next harvest I may need some extra help gathering all of my fruit. Care to come over and help, Mop it up? I'll give you a fossil or a 1-Up Mushroom for your trouble. I actually have 4 spare fossils you can choose from. I save my duplicates instead of selling them.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 27, 2009, 04:58:22 PM
I'll help you out Stratos.:)
I have been playing this too recently. I should have my bridge tomorrow. I hope I get it where I want.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on June 27, 2009, 05:00:51 PM
Picking fruit is what I do best! You just have to get into a rhythm. And when you have someone over Tom Nook doesn't give you a message of welcome/goodbye when you enter/exit the store, which makes it less annoying.
I have a lot of fossils so the odds of those being anything I don't have are pretty low. If you want to help me out then you should visit my town sometime and pick up some of the junk laying around.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 27, 2009, 05:03:41 PM
What kind of junk? I had a couple of cans and boots laying around from when I was fishing and my bag was full. But I picked all those up and left them in recycling the other day because I was feeling guilty.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 27, 2009, 05:05:04 PM
Oh, when do you guys want to come over, then? The store is closed today because I'm getting the next remodel apparently, but by Sunday or Monday most of the trees may be ready for harvest.

Sunday is fine for me. I could play on Monday if you guys can't play on Sunday.
I can play probably from Noon onwards. I don't know when I'll wake up. I should be up at noon though.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on June 27, 2009, 05:20:06 PM
I was planning on getting up before noon so I could aquire some turnips to play around with. If nothing else getting red ones once a month would be profitable because after 6 days you can sell them for 16k.
And with my pathetic inability to catch any more rainbow bugs that is a good deal. I've chased away 6 in the last two days because I swung to far and didn't catch them :(

Ha ha, yeah, there was a pretty crazy "shopping" frenzy going on at my town. I had a week's worth of items from the store lying around my gate. Maxi and Stratos were grabbing anything and everything they could fit in their pockets, and going back and forth between their towns to drop stuff off. Then they sold everything they didn't want. I'm just glad my town is clear now.
The sad thing is it's going to get that way again in another week. I guess one of my villagers was spot-on when she called me a "rich eccentric".

If you can swing it this summer, I highly recommend it. I'm fortunate enough to have a local library that has a good selection of DVD rentals, so I go there and see movies free of charge. Saw the whole trilogy. No need for Blockbuster 8) [/off topic.]
It seems there's a little drama happening with the porcupines in my town. First the Able sisters are sighing, but won't talk to me about it. Then when I go Gracies, Labelle is sighing too. To conclude the sigh-fest, Gracie herself is in a slump; she wouldn't even rate my fashion ensemble! Something is amiss... ???

I don't know for sure, but I think that there were three able sisters and the third is Labelle at Gracie Grace. The Ables have implied something to that length to me before. Who knows, maybe there is a bit of an on going story that can be witnessed. Pretty clever of Nintendo to add that.

Post by: kraken613 on June 30, 2009, 11:29:32 PM
I also picked this game up for similar reasons to Kraken.
I'll let you guys know if it actually grabs me and I stick with it.
Let us know if you want/need anything and we can set up a welcome care package for you. I have a spare dresser which is essential. Maxi came over and I had junk scattered all around my house because I did not have one yet. Thank goodness he gave me one.
Plus every Sunday Mop it up has a big give away event where we go over and take all of the junk she's accumulated. You can find some real treasures there. It is quite comical. Plus anything no one wants can be sold at the store for cash.

I haven't seen any cicadas either. Where do they appear?

Mop_it_up they typically appear on trees. They are very easy to scare off. Gotta sneak up slowly.

You should turn some of those creatures over to the museum.
And I just want to state, Brewster if my hero and favorite character in the game. He reminds me of the coffee shop I used to frequent in Portland and it makes me miss them back there something fierce. They gave me free stuff all the time like extra shots, mistake beverages, unclaimed beverages, donuts if I was there around closing and there were some left. There were two I really frequented and both had amazing coffee.
I wish I could go back... :(

Yeah I don't have that fish either.
After you have seven cups of coffee from Brewster then he'll store your Gyroids for you. It's a good way to get those creepy things out of the house without selling them.

I just read an AC FAQ that gave a new fishing tactic.
"Fish Scaring"
You run walk along a body of water and every little shadow you scare away. The writer claimed to get a good deal of large fish in only a short amount of time.

That's cheating! But I do that anyway.

Yeah, its bug season, so that means $$$, $$$, and more $$$. Watch those trees, but don't neglect the fish! If there's demand, I'll keep my gate open at night, so you can get your bug-on. That's what Smash_bro did.
The porcupine saga continues as even the villagers are weighing in on the situation... Maybe I should hit up Gracie's again.

A rule of thumb is that if its the first time you catch something, donate it to the museum. You can sell the 2nd one later. Right now, your museum is a ghost town, which is boring to look at. But once you start donating, and time passes, your museum will look kick ass.

Yeah, the first time I visited Maxi's museum was cool. He has a lot of bugs and fish and bones.
Mines starting to fill out nicely. Mr Owl even doesn't talk about how barren it is and says it has a fair amount of exhibits.

Why don't we set up a time for the three of us to meet up tomorrow? How does 4PM PST/7PM Eastern sound?
It looks like Maxi will have you covered with the necessities so there's nothing much left for me to bring you. I guess I'll start you out with a very special gift, one which was available only to Europe.

Well first things first I upgrade my town to its fullest. Still waiting on my Bridge to be built. Then I will get my fountain. Then the final expansion. The Lighthouse or Windmill I believe is the last one.
After that I was thinking about doing something that I stopped doing. Get 1 design from one town each and put it at my gate.

I guess The Gnomes are a local gang? That's too bad. People recently seem to have bought it on sale so you should check around for one on the cheap. I'd say it is worth getting again and you still have your save file too.

You lost it? Too bad. :( You convinced me to get the game, but we won't get to play together. Amazon has it for $20 new as the deal of the day last I saw a little bit ago.
Too bad about that last DC. I lost that Rainbow Stag I caught and about 20k worth of work. :/

Having one beer is not fixation. You sure had enough alcohol last night, Mop it up. But not nearly enough to ask you embarrassing questions for later.

What are you having? It takes only 2 minutes to warm up a Hot Pocket you know so you must be doing something wrong...
EDIT: Well I guess I'd better go get prepared for this. See you two soon!

I don't typically eat Hot Pockets. Nor Lean Pockets. Wasn't there an RFN podcast where they talked about them? Was it Jonny that eats them?
I was boiling water for macaroni and I forgot about it and most of the water evaporated. I had to reboil it. I boiled some raviolis, wagon wheels and spiral pasta. I have been eating that with spaghetti sauce and cheese for the past week and a half. I bought a big old tub of it since it was only about 10 cents more than the next size down and I got twice as much sauce. So I'm eating it every day. I boil a lot of the macaroni and microwave the leftovers over the next day or two so I'm not boiling it every day. It's yummy. ;D
I'm loading the game now. Hope your ready.

The porcupine saga continues as it goes to back to the source, the Able Sisters. I pressed the question, which one of them answered that yes Labelle is indeed their sister, and she sends money to help them out, which the two refuse, but they get it anyway. When asked why Labelle does this, they didn't answer. Is this the end?
Mop it Up, here's the list
Mini oombloid Tall Oombloid Mega oombloid Tall alloid
I should on the same time. If anything changes, I'll let you know.

Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2009, 02:31:00 AM
So I was right about them all being sisters. Interesting.
I was mister moneybags tonight. I caught about 8 rainbow stags, a gar and a whole lot of other valuable bugs and fish. I have about enough bells to buy the next house upgrade. Is the basement the last one? I have the second floor right now.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on July 07, 2009, 02:35:32 AM
Is the basement the last one? I have the second floor right now.
It's the last expansion. After you pay off the basement thereby completing your house, you'll get a flag.
I didn't realize how little foreign fruit you had. Next time I come over I'll bring some with me to plant.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2009, 02:38:05 AM
I'm always growing more. I forgot I had already picked all of the foreign trees.
Oddly enough a number of the last crop I planted are gone now. I had planted a swath of trees by the museume and the orange tree is the only one left. Who's making them go away? :/
If you are going to bring fruit, may I request coconuts? I only have two trees and since my last two died off/dissapeared as well I'd like to build up their numbers to prevent it from happening again.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on July 07, 2009, 02:39:42 AM
Are you planting them right next to other trees or objects?

I don't think so. No closer than any other trees are. I'm pretty sure I'm planting them about 3 squares appart at least. Though who knows, I never tried to watch out for it.

Post by: Mop it up on July 07, 2009, 02:50:38 AM
The other day I caught another Coelacanth. For those who don't know, it is a rare fish available only during the rain in the evening. It's too bad I can't give this to somebody. I guess I'll just sell it...

I don't think so. No closer than any other trees are. I'm pretty sure I'm planting them about 3 squares appart at least. Though who knows, I never tried to watch out for it.
I'm not sure what could be the problem then. I'll just bring over 15 pieces of fruit to increase chances of success.

No one getting on tonight I guess...
Well tonight isn't going as planned. So my Girlfriend just got back from Hawaii, I actually picked her and her family up at the airport at midnight. So we where going to pull an all nighter playing video games and just hanging out since she has been gone for two weeks. Well we played one round of COD4 and then bam, she fell asleep.... She kicked my ass at COD4 then fell asleep. I slept most of today not expecting to sleep tonight so I am wide awake....
Well... I think I will go play Prince of Persia: Sands of Time since I just bought it.

First of all, sorry i didn't reply. Once i made the post that i was online, i left the forums alone. Secondly, while i was waiting for Maxi (and anyone else) to visit, i checked to see if you have even added my friend code and you haven't (the heart never appeared) so i felt unloved. Thanks! (i'll PM you my friend code later)
I wasn't even on for very long, just ask Maxi. I wasn't in a very talkative mood, and my phone was being bombarded so i constantly stopped playing to respond to other people. It ended with me being frustrated to the point i just didn't feel like playing anymore and i wen't to bed shortly after. Again, sorry for such a crappy play session Maxi!
***Hmm.. now i have to make sure i don't dissapoint.

Hey, Dj, I have your clover. I thought it was a weed and I pulled it since I'm nice and do that sort of thing. I said I found it when I was there but you didn't say anything so I assumed it was just a lucky pull. Remind me to bring it back next time we play.

I've told Stratos several times now that him giving me flowers is lame but he doesn't seem to listen. So I figure that if he's going to be stereotypical then it might as well be something a little less-than-ordinary.

OMG OMG OMG The scariest thing just happened. So I'm standing there minding my own business, slowly sneaking up on a lantern fly that's on a tree. Out of nowhere I see this big black bug appear and it's rushing at me at a million miles and hour. As I ditch the lantern fly and run for my life, I'm screaming (literally) "What the dirty mop is that hairy bug?! GO AWAY!" I rush up to the corner of the map behind the city hall, thinking there's no way the thing could have followed me across town. Just when I think it is safe to come out, the thing leaps out from behind a tree and attacks my character, causing her to pass out. I don't know what happened next as I ran here to tell you all about it.
Needless to say I'm never playing this game again.

I've been talking about this bug for ages! It's the spider that stalked me. It turned into this epic game where I'd hunt it but it also hunts me. Some days it got me, other days it escaped my net to hide behind a tree.
I finally caught the blighter and if you want to see him he's now in my museum. There is also a scorpion I'm chasing now as well. Pretty crazy. Deadly Creatures invaded Animal Crossing.

Stratos, I have those coconuts you wanted if you're on tonight.
Maxi, do you have a metallic axe I could borrow? I have a lot of trees I want to cut down but I used all my axes in the fountain...

You can keep the money, that is fine. I even felt bad that you paid me for the medicine, I don't like charging people for that stuff!
It was a blast though, especially harassing Stratos, that was the highlight for me. Though I'd say I was organizing his flowers to where they don't look like they randomly thrown down!

I finally have the bells to go for either a Light house or Windmill. I gather you can't have both?
Nope, can't have both. But if you change your mind, you can donate another million bells and it will switch. You can do this only once however. There's no town benefit to either one so just pick whichever you think would look best.
I'm also on the hunt for the scorpion. Any strategies from those who've caught one and lived to tell about it?
What are you crazy? How about some advice from somebody who hasn't caught one: run for your life!
...But seriously, the scorpion doesn't start to chase you until you pull your net out, but it will start charging as soon as you reach for it. Have it be the only tool in your pockets, then press left or right on the d-pad to pull it out. Wait until the scorpion is a good distance away from you before you pull out the net, then wait for it to come to you and swing right before it reaches you. It can run as fast as you can so you can't run from it to try to get into a better position. You'll get only one chance. Good luck.

On my way to Stratos's town I decided to throw an axe into the fountain just for kicks. I know how the fountain fairy likes to tease so when she said she was giving me a silver axe I was waiting for her to ask some irrelevant question first. I'm still in shock that she actually gave me one! I was so happy I wanted to chop down all of the trees in Stratos Town... but I had to leave him with something.
Well thanks I guess. Maybe I'll try to buy you something nice with it. Actually, I noticed you have a lot of the 8-bit Mario items. Do you have the floor, which is called the Block Floor? I have an extra one if you want it.

Hey! My manly voice left you girls speechless last night. You couldn't handle it's manlyness ;)
That was one of the most horrifying things I've heard in quite awhile.
Ditto. I'd rather go shake trees than hear that again.
I was free all day Sunday too, just too lazy to turn on my wii. Oh well, it'll happen eventually!
You've been intentionally avoiding me.
You've been intentionally boycotting me. Even going as far as paying someone to steal your copy of AC.
And all this time I thought she was avoiding me. Maybe she hates both of us.
Depending on if my car is fixed or not today I'll be on this evening. If my car is fixed I have Pizza Hut hour to go to but if not I'll probably be on AC. I find it helps keep my mind off of my car/money/job worries a bit better than Conduit.

For example Me,Golden Phoenix,Pap64 waiting for Smash Brother to show up for his Birthday party. Hiding in Pap's house and surprising S_B. New Years running around to all the towns and celebrating New Years.

That was such a memorable day when it was Smash's birthday. In fact it stuck with me so much that I put that in my defense of why I thought AC: CF was the best game last year. Moments like that just don't happen in other games.

Awesome! Man I have been so crazy busy the past week! I need to play some stuff with ya guys!
So I worked with my grandfather all the past week because they moved and rented their in town house. So I moved everything in the house to the upstairs apartment behind the house. Then cleared the garage, organized the other one and moved the rest of the stuff in it. Then worked on the side room of the apartment behing the house. Walled it in and just "finished" it. Then we tore out the aparment kitchen and bathroom. Ran all new waterlines and put a new water heater in. Finished almost all of the kitchen just waiting for the cabinet and sink to come in. So for the past week, everyday but Sunday I worked really hard from about 8-4. I am so tired its not even funny..... Then I would come home and I played Rock Band a ton with my girl and some of our friends till 11pm or midnight most nights.(I am addicted to RB) Thats my past 7 days.... Made $200. I am done for 3 weeks because my grandparents are going on vacation to Colorado then to Portland.
I AM SO TIRED!

OH WOW. There's money in bugs. LOTS of money. Like 60,000 per pocket type money. I had no idea.
The trick is to go beetle hunting at night. Just bopping around catching any old beetle has gotten me from around 20,000-30,000 each pocket full, but the real money is down by the shore. My entire coast is lined with palm trees, and every beetle that appears on one of those is worth 8,000 each. Combine that with all the other stags and whatnot, and a few scarabs or jewel beetles and you're looking at some real cash. Plus when you're by the shore there's a chance to catch a shark, and when you're by the river you can catch a few eels. SO MANY BELLS.

Yeah, that's what Djunknown and I do half of the night. Rainbow Stags are 10k, Gold Stags are 12k, scarabs are 6 or 7k and every bigger, brown beetle is worth a minimum of 1k. Saw Stags are 2k. Djunknown's town also seems to have an abnormally high amount of beetles as well. You should join us for a beetle hunting expedition. We can see who can catch the most beetles and who earns the most money.

Now it's getting out of hand, and I just found out that having stuff laying around on the ground affects the town's rating. I guess I'll just have to pick it all up and sell it...

Alright Maxi I'll be there shortly.
Stratos, set your Wii system clock to the correct time and date, then when you turn the game on, select "other things" on the menu and set the clock to the correct time and date. Then it should be synced up again.

I think you mean my clover. Unless you took GP's as well....
I've been trying to track the scorpion the last couple of nights, but to no avail. Is there an ideal time they come out?
Also caught a fly today unexpectedly. There was a boot I left lying around, and a fly was swirling it. Might be old news to some, but I'm astounded to this concession to reality...

I found ants on my rotten turnip. I thought that was how you get flies. I'll have to leave some junk around to get the fly.
I've been scorpion hiding as well. It has not appeared once since I caught the tarantula. I wonder if me planting a bajillion flowers made the town less 'deserty' and that is what triggers more scorpions.
Yes, Dj, I had both of your clovers. ;D :-[ oops. I'll be on later tonight if you want to come get it back.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on July 17, 2009, 01:59:56 AM
I didn't know that the boot could attract flies, I thought it was just rotten turnips. Though boots aren't usually something I come across since I rarely fish when I'm by myself.
I thought candy was how you get ants. I guess which one appears is random...
When I caught my scorpion it was 2AM I believe. I played for an hour and saw just three, so they aren't so common I guess. Interestingly I never saw a tarantula...

So i was looking forward to playing this game with you guys this weekend, if any one was available, but i can't seem to get my wii online. That is, i can't get online using my neighbors wi-fi connection ;) I have the lan adapter and an ethernet cable as back up but its such a pain to set up. Luckily my phone's browser is actually more suitable than my PC so having that disconnected will be no big deal.

Is anyone going to play this game today?
There's a bug-off happening today though by my time it has just an hour left.
The price of turnips is $115 if anyone has any they need to unload before the day ends.
Last night I finally caught the elusive tarantula! The first one I stumbled upon didn't see me, so I sneaked up to it... but then I made the mistake of pulling my net out when I was within its line of sight, so I think you know what happened. The second one I saw ran into a pond... I'm pretty sure it can't swim... So I guess what they say is true, the third time's a charm!
On another note, I'm not really liking any of the hairstyles in this game. The one I have now is okay so I guess I'll just stick with it until I feel like experimenting again.

My time is off again so I should have some time to catch some bugs for the tournament. Though I already won the last one so I may just prefer to sell my rare bugs for bells.

Missed the bug tourney this weekend due to Real LifeTM so I have a bunch of rare bugs stashed away... I'm considering a giveaway (their bell's worth at least) in some of mini-game format, so let me know if you're interested in some free money!
Actually had a good week with turnips, the highest for 161, I made a nice tidy profit.
After donating the 1 million bells, I decided to go with the windmill, since I had a lighthouse in the 'Cube version of AC by default. Plus its good for the enivronment or something...

Stratos and Maxi sound alike. I think they are twins
I've only played with the both of them (together) once and i don't think they sound anything alike. Maxi has a pretty distinct voice IMO, whereas Stratos sounds like every zaney friend i've ever had. They both sound younger to me than they really are though.

Well, it should be noted that I'm partially deaf in one ear so I can't discern sounds as well as someone with good hearing. Especially low-quality electronic voices.

on to a more serious game related subject...
I've noticed that fossils have been very hard to come by lately. When i used to play daily, i'd get my three fossils and a couple of those droid things every single day. Now after picking the game back up after months of not playing.. i see none! Actually, today i played it (3 straight days in a row, woo!) and only came across ONE stinking fossile, and it was something i already had. I thought i found more but i dug up to droids instead. The past few days, i couldn't even find these though and every X i came across turned out to be a pitfall!
is this something that happens when you go absent for too long? Has anyone else had this problem?

I think it just happens from time to time. Plus some of the holes are hidden behind trees and buildings where you almost can't see them. And even more recently, I miss them in areas of dirt where the X blends in with the ground well.
I hope you can get online soon, Easy, I like playing Conduit with you too.

Met up with some friend of a friend that I haven't seen in a while, and noticed their coconut trees stretched pretty far back. I say it was about half-way between the shore and the next incline. We caught dozens of rare beetles which confirm my theory: The more coconut trees you have, the more chances you can get the money makers....

Post by: Mop it up on July 25, 2009, 01:21:47 AM
I'll have to come and check what the walking leaf looks like so I know what it is I'm looking for. I have yet to see one though it is one of the ones which doesn't appear when the gate is open so that's probably why.
I missed the mole cricket back when it was available so I'll have to wait until November before it appears again.
I decided to make an inventory so I don't miss something which will soon not be available. I have 15 more bugs to get and 13 more fish. All of the bugs left which are currently available are ones which don't appear when the gate is open which probably explains why I don't have them yet. The only fish I don't have which is currently available is the arapaima, which I believe Maxi got one not too long ago.

Finally got my windmill today, its not a bad site. It even lights up when it gets dark. It sadly takes up one chunk of land near the mouth of the river, but its a small price to pay for LUXURY.
The lucky mojo continued as Nook finally had a silver net for sale! So now all my equipment is silver except the slingshot, which is gold, but who's counting?
It does seem a bit easier catching some insects, as I caught a fly from the boot (anybody want it?) the first try.
The endless porcupine drama continues After confronting Labelle about her real name, she goes on to talk in a more relaxed dialect. She realizes the pain she has caused her sisters, and wants to work it out. But not before she learns from Gracie, and becomes a famous fashion designer like her mentor. This is one heck of a side quest...

I don't have that problem, somehow. I just hate the bee sings because I used to be good at catching the damn things in the GC version of the game, now i've only caught maybe 1 bee to date... grr! On top of that, i hate the townsfolks remarks about my face lol they hurt my characters feelings :P

My pirate eye patch covers most of the damage damage from bee attacks, but the other animals always seem to notice it. It's like they can smell my pain.

I noticed that Labelle was sighing after I've bought a lot of stuff at GracieGrace. That could be the catalyst...
Since they're clearing out the inventory to make way for the fall line-up, buy out the the new furniture set when you get the chance?

I believe they're a time specific bug. I still have my boot out, and it comes in the afternoon-evening.

True. They will come to your bobber easier than the normal pole.

According to GameFAQs it should appear around all three garbage items as well as spoiled turnips. It also says they are available all day though I didn't think they came out at night...

One of the nice things about playing with others is that mosquitoes don't appear!

New month, new goals!
The fall line-up at Gracie's is here, and it looks sweet, literally! Looks like I have my next goal, and with beetle season still in effect, this shouldn't take too long...
Also have a new design that goes well with a Mario hat if you have one. Slap on a Mario Mustache, and you'll be the spitting image of him! Ask about it, next you see me!

Getting clothing rated by Gracie 3 times, being "friends" with the Able sisters, and having Nookington's are the main things you need. The other requirements are littlie things like speaking to Pelly once.

Played with some other friends I know, but for some reason, my internet choked for like a half hour :'(
Gave them the tour and everything. They enjoyed the LUXURIOUS house, then it cut out.
I'm usually on during the evenings with my gate open, unless Real LifeTM happens. Its up to you to walk through it...
Like that one time we were all supposed to be going to Mop it up's town but mistakenly entered yours because it was the only one available and we didn't read so I ended up becoming your bug catching padawan and Maxi followed shortly after.

What time tomorrow stratos? Maybe I can fit you into my schedul :P
Ps I don't know whether to laugh or be sad that my character looks like Kanye West with the glasses Nintendo just sent me...

Sorry i didnt see the post, i woulda opened up my gates for a few. i said see profile for details! i needed email notification becuase i was browsing the forums on my phone and it woulda been easier.
Stratos, i was confused because when you said tomorrow, and i saw the time of your post as yesterdays date, it threw me off. I hate timezones, and i'm very picky when it comes to saying "tomorrow" after midnight, when you actually mean later that day. I'm just weird like that. I should be free tonight, after i go see Funny People, and most of tomorrow. Maybe even sunday morning. Again, if anyone wants to play just shoot me an email.

I was just going to post that I'm available to play tonight after work. I'm scheduled off at 9:30 Pacific but I stay later as needed though I doubt I'll be there more than an hour past then if even that long. Sometimes I'm sent home when it is slow.
I'll help you clean things up tonight.
I also am off tomorrow so we could hook up then as well. Friday is an enigma because the schedule is messed up that day so I can't commit then.

Not sure where it originated from but the first time I ever heard it was here on these boards. Maverick claimed i was his Best Internet Friends Forever (BIFF) but in his abscence i made Stratos my BIFF. Though he lost it when either Jay-Z or Aethena showed up and said something cool :p

I'll be on sometime in the afternoon, as I've completed the upstairs with LUXURY. Also, the basement now has a consistent theme instead of gyroids and junk lying around.
I'll see about nighttime, though it might be 11 pm or so before I get on. I'll put on my clover to verify that the magic is real.

Gave the clover a test run, and it works as advertised. Many rare bugs, but no sharks this time around. Made about 150k, so like Real LifeTM, you can't rely on luck all the time...
Maxi, get those shoes down. Wear something brown, then go to the city and have the skunk match your color. It'll complete the ensemble.

11PM your time is 2AM my time, which is kind of late... though I am usually up pretty late anyway. I was actually thinking of starting at midnight Eastern, so I might still be playing at 2AM, there's a lot for me to do. You could check around then if you want. I also have the lost kitten in my town, she wants to go to your town GoldenPhoenix.
Maxi, would you be able to make that time?
I could probably play on Saturday too, I'll let you know when the time comes.

Drama like this makes me want to get back into Animal Crossing.
Ha ha, yeah, you should. Sometimes it is like a soap opera gone horribly right.
Reminds me of the orioginal AC ads where they made it seam like a reality, Real World, type show. With city folks online play, those types of ads would be much more appropriate.
The funniest part was when Maxi got bad went home and went to bed in his house lol. It was adorable.
BTW I'm turning on the game now!
Wow.. that it pretty cute lol
I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get my wii to properly connect to the internet. I can use the internet channel, send wiimails, shop etc but matchmaking just doesn't work for me and nintendos support page doesn't really help. I've tried getting help from Pro but I still can't seem to get thru my routers firewall dammit.

How exactly does it not work? Will it not connect at all or does it disconnect right away? I once used an unstable connection which would disconnect on the menu in Mario Kart after about a minute, but if I hurried up and got into a race, it worked fine. It was weird.
I'm not sure what a firewall is but can't you temporarily disable it?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: EasyCure on August 29, 2009, 10:45:52 PM
its different depending on the game. For instance with mario kart or the conduit, I can access their lobbies and see who is online but actually connecting to other players is a no go. I'll either get an error code message right away or be stuck waiting for it to connect for 5 mins then have an errror message come up. In mario karts case, such an error message takes you back to the main menu (as all 1st part wfc games do, I believe) and its very annoying. At least the conduit keeps me connected to wi-fi so I don't have to sign back in.
In animals crossings case, I can look to see who has an open gate and get a player list, but be unable to connect. Opening my gate is a little different.. sometimes I'll get an error right away, other times the gate will open but, again, I just won't be able to connect to other players. In this last scenario, you'd see me online but you'd get the communication error message when trying to connect.
I've gone into my router settings and there's no option to simply disable the firewall but I've tried things suggested to me like setting up a static IP for my wii, port forwarding said IP and even setting up the DMZ host..thingy. all this stuff is like a second language to me but I did the best I could trying to set everything up the way I've been told, but I must be doing something wrong.
The real pain in the ass is that I'm fucked no matter what cuz every other option available won't work:
-can't use the LAN adapter for reasons stated above
-can't use the USB wi-fi adapter because or corrupted files on my computer, which because of other corrupted files (possible virus infection) won't allow me to redownload whatever is necissary for it to work
-can't connect to neighboring wi-fi access points because they're either unstable, password locked, or just not there. For the longest time I used someones connection entitled "my connection bitches" but they wised up and put a password in place. Now the only unsecure connection is so piss poor, it won't allow my wii to connect to it.

Something similar happened to me late last year. I could connect to the Internet channel and download from the shop channel, but I couldn't play games online, connect to the Everybody Votes channel or send Wii-mails. I eventually had to send back my system and get a new one (luckily it was still under warranty from the last repair).

I think your firewall may have some ports blocked off that are keeping the game from connecting to other people. Unfortunately I've gotten very rusty with those things and it will be difficult for me to explain without being there and trying things myself. Are you willing to reset your router to the default settings? What router and internet provider do you have?

Did everyone manage to catch the bugs and fish which are no longer available after August? If not, here's your second chance! I still have my calendar set behind because I'm trying to catch up without missing a day, so I'm still on August 20th. If you missed something which is no longer available here in September, let me know what it is, and we can set up a time for you to come visit and try to catch it.

I'm still trying to catch up without missing a day, it's slow going but I'm getting there. I just planted all of the flowers and cedar trees which I bought over the past few days. Now the fruit's back again, and I'm debating whether or not I should even bother with it, since it's really slowing me down. With how many days are left to cycle through it would grow back at least twice.
In any case, it is still August in my town, so if anyone missed any August bugs or fish, you could try to catch them in my town.

ON that note, I could use a Napoleon Fish.
I think that by now, the most dilligent of AC players should be done with all that needs to be donated, save for the art museum. I expect to see gold nets and gold fishing rods soon.

Hey, you should be thankful of anything I give you. I always save fossils so I'll let you know if I come across any of the special ones.
Can't help you with that Napoleon Fish. It's bigger than the sea bass and doesn't have a fin, so be looking for that. It doesn't seem as uncommon as the blue marlin so it will just take some patience.
GoldenPhoenix needs only two more fish, the arapaima and the king salmon. I got the game in March so I still need about ten of each, it will be a while before I get the gold stuff.

Unlike a regular axe, the golden axe doesn't break. The only difference between it and the silver axe is that the silver one still takes three swings to chop down trees and the gold one takes two.
I use the axes as a fashion accessory though since the game has no jewelry. I'm not sure if gold goes with my current outfit as well as silver does.

Your choice. I have a bunch of clothes sitting near my gate if you want to play dress-up. ;)
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

I'll open my gate.

Alright. I hope it works because the servers were down earlier today.

Sorry, it looked like you weren't on so I let my computer run some updates and took a nap since I was feeling under the weather. I guess I slept through the party.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on September 19, 2009, 02:40:02 AM
Yeah, I didn't think to check back sooner. I'm about to scoot off to bed. I hope you're feeling better now. Will you be available sometime over the weekend?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on September 19, 2009, 01:06:24 PM
I close both tonight and Sunday and on Sunday I have to be in at 1PM I think, though that may not be starting until next week. My only off day is Tuesday at the moment. Unless you are interested in meeting earlier in the day.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on September 19, 2009, 04:36:28 PM
How early are we talking about? Because I usually sleep in on weekends. Though I guess this may be one time where being three hours ahead of you might come in handy.

Post by: Stratos on September 21, 2009, 04:17:41 AM
I guess the weekend is shot at this point, but there is this week if you want to shoot for a day time meet up. Probably between 10-11AM my time would work on some of the days this week. I'm on a much earlier schedule now. I'm only up this late because I like to post a bit after work to wind down. I tend to wake up between 8-9AM now-a-days.

It's alright GoldenPhoenix, don't stress over it. What time do you think you might be available?
Stratos, that time can't work for me, I'm going to be at work at that time. Perhaps we can try again over the weekend?
By the way, does anyone have a lucky clover I could borrow? I really need to catch an arapaima before September ends!

Well, without getting into the boring details, I've got a golden fishing rod to give away. Djunknown, you're missing a couple of fish which are no longer available, is that correct? Do you want the golden rod?

I'll be able to play on Friday. Thursday I am busy.

I'm missing one river fish I haven't looked up yet, and the Napoleon fish. As tempting as it is for me take one, it would feel hollow taking something I haven't earned... :'(

Maxi, what time can you make it tonight? Is 9PM Eastern alright?
Djunknown, I can understand wanting to earn it yourself but you'll have to wait until next year to be able to get it. Maybe I could make you work for the gold rod... Anyways, I haven't seen you around in a while, can you make it tonight?
GoldenPhoenix, I also feel like I haven't seen from you in some time. Can you join us tonight?

You're not going to believe this one. A villager asked me to catch a salmon for him, which I thought was kind of funny because of how overly common they are. It isn't like they're not the first thing he's going to catch so he's pretty lazy to ask me to do it. So I run over to the river and sure enough, the first thing I get is a salmon. I rush back over to him, and do you know what he gives me as thanks?
It's an arapaima! I couldn't believe it! I'd been searching for that for months now and he just hands it over in exchange for a fish that's as common as mud like it's nothing? I was so happy I felt like running around town chopping down trees, but I restrained myself. I checked the fish list to read the little information about it, and... and... it wasn't there! My heart sank as I realized that it didn't count because I didn't actually CATCH it. Never before had I wanted to kill a villager.
I still have my golden fishing rod by the way. Do you want it, Maxi?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on October 02, 2009, 03:05:29 PM
That's a tough break Mop_it_up. Do you have an extra one if so sure I'll take it.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on October 03, 2009, 12:03:34 AM
It is "extra" in the sense that I don't want it. Can you play tomorrow or Sunday?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on October 03, 2009, 12:24:29 AM
I can play on both days but I want some visitors for K.K. Slider.

I haven't actually tried to get any songs when someone was visiting. Also I haven't visited your town KnowsNothing.

Post by: Mop it up on October 03, 2009, 04:17:44 PM
I'm about to open my gate to play with someone from GameFAQs, but anyone here would be welcome to visit if they'd like. Like me, he doesn't have Wii Speak, so you could mute/disconnect yours if you wanted.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 03, 2009, 04:25:10 PM
I haven't actually tried to get any songs when someone was visiting. Also I haven't visited your town KnowsNothing.
Well I haven't played in quite some time, and last time I did I ended up cutting down nearly all the trees in the town. I had a grand plan for a complete town renovation but then I ran out of time and had to go back to school. Now I can only play every couple of weeks at best...it's almost not worth playing at all.
I there's a chance my gates will be open at some point tonight but I wouldn't count on it ='(
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

Ok since I haven't heard back from you I am guessing that you can't play KnowsNothing.

Just to let everybody know you can get songs when someone is visiting.
Thanks for visiting Mop_it_up! thanks for the Golden Rod. I caught a Ray and a Clownfish with it. First ones. Oh also thanks for those fossils.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on October 04, 2009, 02:50:02 AM
But you CAN'T get songs when you visit somebody else! That's why my song collection is pitiful! I can't ever acquire them and I can't buy them from anywhere either. And if money doesn't solve a situation then I'm all out of ideas.

You could do what I do with EasyCure only in reverse. I send him any duplicates.
Maybe someone can mail you any duplicates they get.

Be careful sending him stuff then. If he hasn't played in a while then anything you send him might just disappear.

I finally caught an arapaima yesterday! I've been searching for this thing for months now, and for the past couple days I've spent hours playing with my friend just so I'd have some company whilst I fish. Not five minutes after she left for the day, I saw a huge shadow in the river and it was an arapaima! Perhaps my FRIEND was bringing me bad luck!
Anyways, thanks for letting me borrow your lucky clover GoldenPhoenix! Do you want me to sent it back to you or deliver it sometime in person?

I was already on and off since no one was coming. Let me know if you want to later and I'd be down with it. I'm kinda just milling about my apartment switching between posting and playing Fire Emblem, King's Story and random VC/WW games. I haven't had an evening off like this with no one to see or no group or event to go to that I'm a little at a loss at what I should do.
So I'm just playing whatever and eating tasty food :)

Anyways, I have here a list of the Nintendo gift items that I have. I'm not sure if you've missed any during your absence. Do you want any of them?

Most of my flowers died, and all of my hybrids were gone as well. :(
At least no one moved out. If Hopper moves, I quit the game. Though I've been giving him a steady supply of fossils to keep him satisfied.
EasyCure, have you fixed your internet issues yet?

Tuesday should work for me, but Sunday probably not.
If you folks are worried about your towns, then might I suggest time traveling? Check your Wii play history and set your Wii calendar back to the day after the last day that you played. If you don't want to do things like that then you should put your hybrids in your house before you take a break.
And don't mention all the weeds you have if you aren't going to offer to let me come and pull them!
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on October 29, 2009, 08:20:53 PM
I pulled all of mine if only a few minutes as I wandered around my town taking inventory of what had happened.
I was disappointed at all of the clover weeds I had that did not turn into real clovers. :P

I just missed you methinks. Shoot. Better luck tomorrow, perhaps? I don't have work so there should be some time to meet up. If I could I would love to ask some people for help getting the last of my fruit taken care of. I have so much left over that It's taking a while to clean up.
I got my fountain finally, so that is a plus. Time to start shooting for metal axes. I have over a dozen sitting around waiting to be chucked into the waters.

I don't think that time will work. I'm supposed to meet some people between 6-8 my time. I might not go, though as I am feeling pretty drained. I'll let you know what I decide.

Post by: Stratos on November 03, 2009, 05:52:05 PM
I should be back between 8 and 8:30, as I am typically back before 9 now. So long as we don't stay up as late as we did last time I would be down with playing later.
Edit~ I've decided I'm to tired to go so I can play tonight around 6:30-7 if you want. I'm going to eat dinner first before I hop on.

It's the weekend, now it's time to sit back and... watch the mushrooms grow? Right? Well, that seems to be what happens in autumn, seeing that the leaves aren't going to fall off the trees. Of course, I'm not yet there, as I still have to finish out October. I gotta play every day so I can buy the candy from the store, then I can skip ahead a little to get back on track.
Does anybody want to play today or tomorrow?

Coming close to a year since I've played; what a ride. Out of the 10 starting villagers, I have 4 left. Angus just moved out without giving me a chance to talk him out of it... :'(
I finally had the UFO drop in my town, but I didn't know what to do. Shoot it down?
I'd like to take the time to announce my "Cash for Flowers" program. Its simple really. All you have to do is A)Mail me flower packets B) Drop off flowers if you see my gate's open or vice versa.
You'll be well compensated. If you give hybrids or carnations, you'll be extra-compensated 8)

Cool. I'll be playing tomorrow around early evening EST, so I'll let the people know when my gate's open specifically. Bring your flowers ;D
I'm going to start a female character soon so that I can put more furniture, as well as see any dialogue changes. I don't want to let go of the Gracie furniture I have now. That's why I've kept my Nook n Go, so I can sell and get out of debt faster.

Once every month Nook will ask you what you look for in a store, and your answer can change the store. If you choose "variety" then you'll get/keep Nookington's, "hours" will get you Nook 'n Go, and "balance" will get you Nookway. This survey period will last a week so that all of your characters can vote, and then after that any changes will be made.
I couldn't survive without Nookington's so I'm never changing it.

I'd like to take the time to announce my "Cash for Flowers" program. Its simple really. All you have to do is A)Mail me flower packets B) Drop off flowers if you see my gate's open or vice versa.
I'll give you some flowers but you don't have to pay for them. Just say something nice to me in return.
I'm going to start a female character soon so that I can put more furniture, as well as see any dialogue changes.
I think the bus driver says different things. He makes me uncomfortable...
Which was the fossil that you needed? I have some sitting by my gate so I might have it.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

If Mop it up doesn't have the fossil you need I have about a dozen spares in my dresser I keep around for friends in need.

Why do I get the feeling that nobody is going to be playing this game for some time?
I still have to collect the mush set, I keep getting duplicates. I've gotten at least three mush beds and mush dressers.

I could probably play some tonight after the ExciteBike game dies down.

Cake! Oh no! There's no way I'm going to be able to resist eating it. Can it be ordered from the catalogue?
Who wants to play tomorrow night? We'll get together and chow down on some anniversary cake. The anniversary of what? We can discuss that... over cake.

I can play but I think it would be more fun with 4 people. Edit: V is on in 10 mins and will run for 1 hour. I'll see if anybody wants to play then.

Have you seen Stratos today? I wonder if he'll pop in after your show is finished...
If we played today that doesn't mean we couldn't do tomorrow, as well. It would just have to be no earlier than 11PM Eastern if you wanted me to join.

He was on at 3 this afternoon. We shall see if he is on after my show which is on now. I'll check back on the next commercial.

I'm a little too tired to play tonight now. I'm sorry. Other than the one point where I played NSMB with my friends it's been a very stressful day and a lot of that just came crashing down on me. It's sucked all of my desire to play tonight.

Hey dudes I jsut got this game (with no Wii Speak) is it any good?
Some would say it is an acquired taste. If you like only games which are fast-paced or have action, then you're not going to like this one bit. Basically, the game is all about collecting. Your goals are to get all the furniture sets, clothing, and other stuff you can buy, catch all of the bugs and fish, and dig up all the fossils and gyroids. Most of this takes money, which you can get by selling fruit that you pick from trees, and bugs and fish that you catch. You can also beautify your town by buying and planting flowers, and you can breed special flowers if you plant different colours next to each other and water them every day.
There isn't usually much you can do in any single day, so you won't be playing for hours on end when it's just you. You should play for, like, 30 minutes each day to keep up with everything, so it would need to become part of your routine. But you don't need to water your flowers or talk to your villagers every day if you don't care about that part. If you just want to fill the shop catalogue or the museum then you don't have to play too much. You just have to make sure you get everything that's available in that month. Or you could just use the game to chat with the people here, like what Kraken did. What you get out of the game depends on what you put into it.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on November 20, 2009, 03:20:36 AM
Or you could be like GP and rampantly vandalize other people's towns for a few giggles ;)
It is a blast when you play with others and that is how it came to be my number one most played Wii game according to the Nintendo Channel.

Does anyone want to have a meet up tonight or tomorrow night?
It is a blast when you play with others and that is how it came to be my number one most played Wii game according to the Nintendo Channel.
Is that something you should be proud of?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on November 20, 2009, 04:42:00 PM
I don't really feel proud or ashamed of the fact it is #1. It is what it is and I have played that game the most. conduit came in second but that doesn't even come close to AC's time. It may partially be because I didn't close Conduit 'properly' as much (since AC forces you to save/quit it probably tends to be closed as opposed to shut off) and also Conduit's lock up glitches also forced a lot of it's play time to be lost. But AC does legitimately earn the top spot because I keep coming back to it unlike other games I finish or stop playing and don't return to all that often.
I might be available tonight. I'm scheduled off at 8PM Pacific and so I should be available by 9ish unless I have to stay ridiculously late so I'll plan on playing. Same thing tomorrow night.

I'm not saying it is a bad thing, I just think it is kind of funny since it seems kind of different from your taste in games.
Later is always better because it means something else is less likely to happen.

It does seem to be the odd man out in my collection of games, especially my top 10 most played. I think it proves how diverse my tastes can be. I still have GP to thank for convincing me to get it. Her blog arguing it was Wii GotY made me want to try it.

Thanks for the link. I don't want to see what you look like since I'm still faceless to you. I just imagine that you look like your author icon, and I think I'd be disappointed if you looked any different (and it sounds like you do).

I don't really care, I just wanted to laugh and tease about it since I don't really have a clue what you are referring to if anything at all.
Anyways, I went to go turn the game on and found my system and cords all in my bag. I hadn't set it back up since the last time I brought the system to a friends house. So I'll be a minute or two longer.

Caught the Coelacanth finally. Not sure if it's true that wearing the lucky clover actually helps fishing but the last few times I've done it I've had great results.
Edit: Caught several Coelacanth, Tuna, and other rare fish in a short period, guess I'll be using the clover from now on when I fish.

All right, with EasyCure now having access to working Internet, why don't we set up a time for the lot of us to meet up? I believe Stratos has Tuesday off; would that work for you all?

Is altering your Wii's internal clock the only way to trick the game that it's still daytime or can you do it within the game?
This was the only thing stopping me from getting the game. My schedule is such I can only game in the evenings and even then that can be after 8 or 9pm. So I figure I'll miss out on events in game, stores will be closed, etc unless I can correct this time issue.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on December 20, 2009, 07:18:25 PM
There is an option on the main menu to change the game time.
Plus there is a version of Nooks that stays open until 2am. The Able Sisters are open till 11pm daily. The only thing I struggled with during my night-shift jobs was catching day-time bugs and fish and some of the morning events like buying turnips.

You can change the clock within the game, but then the game will "know" that you are cheating. If you change the Wii clock, the game will not realize you are cheating unless you happen to set the clock backwards past the last time you played the game. So if you were to play, say, December 20th at 3PM, as long as you don't set the clock back before that time then you would be fine.
There are only a couple of consequences for time traveling, if the game knows you did it that is. Turnip prices will plummet to 40-50 bells, red turnips will rot, and Redd's Shop will be closed for the entire week.
Also, I don't know if this matters to you, but any time spent playing the game when the Wii is not set to the correct time and date will not be recorded in the records of the Nintendo Channel.

Hmm I will have to get back to you tomorrow. Some things came up.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Armak88 on December 21, 2009, 09:49:48 PM
Well, tis the season, and I'm thinking about getting back into this game. Thing is that my town is at this point an insurmountable mess. I'm thinking about reseting the town and starting from scratch. The only thing that has prevented me from doing this on a whim is that I have some designs that I put a lot of work into that I would hate to see go. Also I still have some friend codes on this account.
So what should I do? Start a new town or suck it up and face the music in the town that I'm in? Either way I'd like to get back into playing, and it would be cool if I could play with some of you guys.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

Armak88: I'd recommend just keeping your current town. It is much easier to clean it up than it would be to start from scratch.
By the way, did anyone ask EasyCure if he's available tomorrow? I forgot to do it...
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

I'll ask him.

If your store hadn't closed I would have continued to pick fruit. Perhaps you should set your clock farther back next time?
I can't wear any shoes or else my foot will hurt. :'(

I can't wear slippers when I go out.
You know, I was thinking about how that incident was probably a good reason why I don't have Wii Speak. If you both had heard that loud thud followed by me screaming, you probably would have thought you were witnessing a murder over Wii Speak like Stratos was talking about a little bit ago.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

Ok, so my girl just started playing this game on her Wii and I was showing her some of the pics from the Funhouse thread, and we have to ask. How do you use your Mii face in the game? also, is there a wait period before you can play with someone online?
I told her maybe she could play with some of you from NWR since we don't know anyone else with a Wii that plays this game. Do you all use the WiiSpeak?
edit: And I swear someone could make a pretty sic beat with the BG music and the sound of running through the snow to the beat. I found myself bouncin to the beat a little.

To get your Mii face you have to go into the city to the hair stylist. As far as playing online you have to finish what Nook asks you to do.You know the chores when you first start a new game. After you do that you go into the main gate and talk to the dog on the right to get your code. As far as Wii Speak.Me,Stratos,EasyCure, TheNorthSea use WiiSpeak.There might be others but they escape me ATM.

Djunknown has it as well, though I haven't seen him in a good long while. And EasyCure playing an online game is as common as a shiny Pokémon in a Pokémon game. I don't even know who TheNorthSea is.
I might. Do you mean you'll be playing at midnight? For me that would be 3AM, and I might still be awake.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on December 31, 2009, 12:31:40 AM
I thought I told you before who TheNorthSea was. You two played a few mafia games together.
As far as New years goes since you are on the east coast I would show up in your town 30 mins or so before Midnight your time.Then we can transfer to other towns based on when Midnight hits that town. I did this last year and it was pretty fun ringing in the new year in different time zones.

Animal Crossing is what you make of it. It can be something you play "hardcore" and pop it in for maybe 30 minutes a day and try to maintain and collect everything, or just once a week, or just whenever you feel like seeing the sights and hanging out with friends. So no, I wouldn't say it is a"hardcore" game any more than it is a "casual" game. It is whichever one you want it to be.

No need to xchange Wii codes? It's on a different Wii than mine.
No, you don't need to exchange Wii Console Numbers with anyone. The only benefit of that would be that people could send letters from Animal Crossing to your Wii message board.

Anyhow, does anyone have to time travel to events in order to see them like me? If I didn't I'd never get to see them. My wife doesn't understand the importance of watching the fireworks at 12 AM on New Years Day like I do. I have to spend it with... real people.

Oh yeah, I know you! Though I haven't ever played this game with you because you've always been busy.
I've time traveled a couple of times before, but I try to not do that anymore. The only holiday I did that for was Halloween, mostly I time traveled to get fish and bugs that would be no longer available.
What time zone are you in? Are you going to be available tonight? I'll probably be available after 1AM Eastern if anybody would like to hang out. Fair warning though, I may have a couple of drinks in me.

Black N Mild I should go to sleep but I read what happened and I think this will help you. Since New Years celebrations is done in AC you should push your clock back to 11pm on December 31st. Open your gate. I can stay for 1 hour.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 01, 2010, 07:41:47 AM
She apologizes for unplanting the things you just planted. She just started playing yesterday and hasn't got the hang of the controls.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on January 01, 2010, 07:50:51 AM
My girl wants to know how you got all the green faced on your town floor.
The Designs can be made at the Tailor(Ables Shop) for 350 bells. Now a few things. You want to wait on selling your fruit and coconuts until you have a good amount. Once the fruit blooms pick them and plant them some place else. Do that for a week or so. Coconuts need to be planted by the ocean. You know that area where the land meets the sea that is where you plant the coconuts. Look for the dry land or in this case the snow. Spread the coconuts out. 2 spaces between the coconut trees. Planting other fruit. Try to find a open space and not plant the fruit near buildings or signs.
Making bells. For the time being the best way to get Bells(money) is to fish. Once the bugs come out they tend to be good.(Spring) You can also sell seashells to nook but you won't get much.Sell her native fruit while you build your other fruit trees.
I think that is it at the moment. She has any other questions post it here and i'm sure someone knows.
Good Night and Happy New Year!

My girl wants to know how you got all the green faced on your town floor.
Those are designs that somebody created. You can create your own designs to use for clothes, hats, and umbrellas, as well as other uses such as flags or displays on the ground. The design tab is the one to the right of the item tab, you can create 8 different designs here. If you want to create a "Pro" design, meaning that you can design the sleeves of shirts, go to the Able Sisters' shop in your town and talk to Able about designs. You can also store up to 64 designs here if you want to have more than the 8 you can carry. If you want a design which somebody else created, you can go to the Able Sisters shop in their town and receive any designs that they put on display.
You can create designs only whilst in your own town when the gate is closed.

What about SD cards. The game doesn't recognize mine. Is it because the card is an SDHC (8GB)?
do I need a standard 2GB for it to be recognized?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on January 01, 2010, 07:11:26 PM
The word on the GaneFAQs board is that most SDHC cards don't work. If the SD card menu recognizes the card but the game does not, then it probably won't work.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on January 02, 2010, 04:26:30 AM
I can trick my 4gb non-sdhc card to work with the game most of the time. I usually have to pull it out and pop it back in though.

Anyone up for playing tonight? I'm trying to play catchup so I'll have my gate open in a little bit so post here if you want to join. Or just check my gate in a little bit.

Quick question being relayed to the forums here: How do you get the floating presents?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on January 05, 2010, 01:47:05 AM
There is a item called the slingshot. You can purchase it at Nooks. I think it is avalable in Nooks second store or perhaps someone can send you one from here.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 05, 2010, 02:33:33 AM
She just paid off her house, so she should be getting the second store now right?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BeautifulShy on January 05, 2010, 02:45:09 AM
Well Nook upgrades his store when you buy or sell I think 25,000 bells combined from his store for the first upgrade. Nook will say that he is going to upgrade his shop and he will say when he upgrades it.His store will be closed that day and the following day it will open as the new store.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on January 05, 2010, 03:40:57 AM
I've got a spare slingshot for you if you want it.
I also now have an extra silver axe thanks to a very stubborn fountain goddess constantly teasing me by never coughing up the gold so you guys can have that one too.
There is a silver and gold slingshot you can get as well. I know the gold one appears in a balloon after popping 8 regular balloons. Balloon prizes are great ways to get the neat retro Mario Brothers items.
I'll be on for a bit tonight if anyone is up and interested in playing. I'll leave my gate open. Also tomorrow during the day I am going to my folks house to babysit my nephew and I plan on playing this during his naps if anyone wants to hook up during the day.

Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on January 05, 2010, 04:12:04 AM
I'm not sure exactly. It depends on when the baby goes down for his nap. If I'm too busy with him then I may have to wait until after 3pm Pacific time when my sister returns from work to get on. But I am watching him from 8am-3pm. There is a computer there so I will post when I am playing tomorrow.

I'd like to join you if you are on sometime today. There isn't really anything else I can do today, because I'm recovering from a mild concussion. That also means though I may not me entirely coherent. Which means it'll be just like playing at 4AM!
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on January 05, 2010, 10:09:44 PM
Wow, I hope you are OK Mop it up. What happened?
Sorry I didn't hop on, the baby was more of a handful than I imagined. He napped several times, but once I got caught up on fixing the messes and preparing his next meals and sat down to play or post he woke up. Though it was nice to spend some quality time with my nephew.
Anyone up for playing now?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on January 05, 2010, 10:33:11 PM
I could play for a little while. I don't know how late I want to stay up though. I'm going to try going to work tomorrow so I could use some sleep. Then again, I'm not really tired since I pretty much slept all weekend.
We can talk about it in the game. You might want to use more literal speech or I may not fully comprehend what you're trying to say.

I went to visit my town today for the first time since July. Amazingly, none of my neighbors had left. I was so surprised! It seemed like with my Gamecube town, if I went even a few days without playing I'd come back and have a letter telling me that someone had moved to another town. There's weeds everywhere though. And I had cockroaches. But oh well, it was nice to be back even if winter is a very boring season.

I'm sure I'll play someday, but since I've never had people to play with for any of my Wii stuff, I don't know how and where to find all those codes and things that you guys have tacked onto your signatures.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 07, 2010, 02:31:26 PM
AC is an easy one. I think you head towards the town gate and ask to leave. They give you a code (if you are wifi connected) and you hand that code out, along with your game name and town name.
No need for system friend codes.

Tomorrow isn't going to work out, as my roommate is having a going away party tomorrow night. I think Sunday would be the better day for me. If there's problems, then we could move it. We will do this, just real life keeps jumping in on my plans.

I propose NorthSea's town since I don't think either of you two has been there.
I'm okay with opening my town. Just to warn everyone, I'm still in November. My wife also asked me to make sure we play after the premiere of Chuck tomorrow. She's been waiting a long time for it.

11-11:30ish PM EST would work fine. I can't stay up too late as I have class in the morning. That should give us all some time to hang out, though.
Also, Chuck is a good show. I don't watch it much, but my wife watches it every week. What I've seen I've enjoyed, especially the episode about Atari.

Not to derail, but I was just catching my girl up on the show(3.5 episodes to go) so she can watch the s3 premier with me tomorrow. She's really into it now, and that's good because we've been on the marathon of about 3-4 episodes a day since just before New Years.

I'll probably do that when school ends for the summer. I'm also supposed to do that with Lost, but I don't think that's going to happen before season 6 starts. I've seen most of it, but not much past season 3.

The greeting I gave to him was "Get in my VAN!!!"
Now my girl says that everytime he greets her he is gonna say "Get in my VAN!!!" I wish I remembered to take a photo, but AC doesn't recognize the SD card anyway.

Say i boot up MegaMan 9 or Rockband.. I can get all the DLC i wan't but if i tried playing against someone else i'd get an ERROR CODE. I only ever managed to fix this issue once, a looong time ago, and left my wii connect (and PC offline) for some time, but before long i had to switch them back.
Oh and you two better stop flirting, this PDA is making my stomach turn.

I use one of these (http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-54Mbps-Wireless-Broadband-TEW-432BRP/dp/B000BI1XNE/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1264122612&sr=8-9) at my girls house and we haven't had a single problem for over a year with it.
it's only $25 w/ free shipping so it's not gonna delay your apartment financing.

aside from my ipod i refuse to buy anything with the word "trend' written all over it :P
It's not that I think the router will set me back much, because i know i can get them for cheap (like the one you so kindly linked to) but I have tons of other things that I'm pouring money into at the moment. Car payments for one, but theres some others as well.

That would be fine with me. Stratos is usually the one to pick the time as he often has plans for the day (Tuesdays are his one day off). It tends to be kind of late though, probably around 9PM PST or after. What timezone are you in?

Congrats on finishing the fossil collection. I think I'm only 3-4 away from finishing them as well.
Sorry I was out all day, I was at my folks place and for some reason the internet was not working. It's been giving every non-PC device trouble recently (Wiis, DSis, iPods) and I was not able to use my mother's computer to communicate either. Just got home.

I do. I nap a lot...
Stratos, Maxi, and BlackNMild2k1 are all in PST, which is three hours earlier than you and I. So it isn't so late for them.
I suppose I could make an exception, since you've been without stable enough Internet for so long. Are you available to play right now?

I could be but i'm just not feeling up to it. Still sick, and due to possible snow tonight into tomorrow, I'll have to get up earlier than normal for my commute. What about tomorrow, or this weekend?
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: SilverGrey on February 02, 2010, 11:04:32 PM
I'd like to join in on the fun, but Tuesdays aren't a great night for me. If it makes a difference to anyone, I'm in CST, so I'm between EST and PST. And yes, I work in the mornings, but late at night is also the time when my TV is most likely free, so I'm flexible on times. I shall continue lurking and seeing when people are meeting up.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on February 03, 2010, 12:47:00 AM
What other nights work for you all? I think the Tuesday meet is being solely dictated by my work schedule (since that is my only day off) but we can work to find other times and days. I don't want to hold everyone back like that.
I don't close on Fridays and Saturdays half the time though I do tend to stay late anyway. There is always earlier in the day. What about Saturday morning/afternoon? I'm sure some of the shenanigans we can come up with would be more entertaining that Saturday morning cartoons ;)
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on February 03, 2010, 01:04:09 AM
In the case of me meeting up with you Stratos, that is somewhat decided by my own work schedule. By the time I get home, you're either gone or already about to leave. On days I'm not working, I tend to sleep a lot to make up for the week, so I probably wouldn't get up early enough to be able to catch you before you go. That's why Tuesday evenings have always been my suggestion, because they seem to work out well.
EasyCure: Tomorrow is no good, neither is Thursday. This Saturday may work, though. I'll just have to turn in early on Friday.

I'm not going anywhere today. This morning I took a look out my window, and I was like "Which one is my car?" I've been hibernating all day.
Lucky you. I couldn't sleep at all last night (I shoulda played with you guys!) and woke up knowing thered be tons of snow out. Woke up groggy, not wanting to go to work but did only to take a half day. Driving home was so much worse than driving to work, and I live on top of a huge hill so it wasn't easy getting to my parking spot. Once I got to the damn parking spot, my car got stuck trying to turn it around so I'd face the driveway tomorrow morning and not have a big hastle tomorrow morning. A small asthma attack after shoveling and risking hypothermia later.. and I took a niiiiiiiiiiiiice long nap in my warm bed, woke up and played AC for a bit. It was snowing in my town, so I turned off the game quickly.
Bleh.

I've noticed she doesn't like a lot of things in Animal Crossing. Any time i mentioned a cool neighbor of hers she tells me to take them with me back to town. What a mean neighbor!
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on February 10, 2010, 04:50:15 PM
Mr. Rogers she ain't ;)
Course, I offer bounties to my friends for getting some of the animals in my town to move out. Took forever to oust Truffles. I really didn't like her. And she also planted her house right in my beautiful and huge lawn. I should plant some trees there before another animal attempts to move that close to me.

I think animals that move out have a chance of moving to a friend's town that you regularly visit.
I think one of mine moved to DJ Unknown's town last Summer.
Oddly, I've not done anything in particular to try and keep the squirrels or make them leave. They are just there. I wonder if some animals are setup to never leave so you have a guaranteed consistency for your game. Others seem to want to move all the time and I have to try harder to convince them to stay.

I'm amazed so many of you are still actively playing this game. I can't find the desire/time to keep up with it, given I'd usually prefer to spend video game playing time playing something I haven't played or completed before.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk

Honestly, half of the interest for me comes from our little community of players. If it weren't for Mop it up and Maxi especially I would have abandoned the game months ago. It's hard to find time to play it and play other games, so I understand where you are coming from.

Well as Stratos mentioned it is the community aspect of the game. I played the GC game for 3 years.So the added online to this game will keep me going. Also I still have to complete my museum. I keep on playing because I like for people to be impressed with my town. Also there is the designing aspect of making different patterns and sprinkling my town with them. Also there was a few memorable moments in the game when playing with others.

Ditto, plus the desire to "finish" what i've started; ie paying off that damn debt and getting some of those bonuses like the Fountain and Windmill/lighthouse. I'm ALMOST done paying off the final debt from the house, and from there I can start trying to get the fountain, etc. It'll be a long while before I manage all this, and when I do it'll be a long while before I go back to playing the game.
Since we're on the subject of our lil AC community, I'd like to thank Mop_it_up once more (but this time in front of an audience) for helping clean up all the weeds in my town after 6 months of neglect, as well as planting some trees and even donating some fossils to my museum!

Anyone want to make plans for Tuesday? I know both Mop it up and Easycure voiced interest. I have dinner plans at 7PM my time but before that (or after, depending on when we finish) I may be available for some AC-ing.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on February 15, 2010, 03:32:05 AM
Oh hi Stratos. Didn't realize that was you. When will you be changing back to your Neku author icon? In my case, I'm afraid after your 7PM dinner reservation would probably work best. With the way things have been going lately, I'm probably going to want to take a nap when I get home from work.
...So does this mean you don't still want to play The Conduit? I was only asking because I thought you wanted another opportunity to shoot me in the face.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on February 15, 2010, 04:30:00 AM
I was actually hoping to balance both games on that day. A little Conduit here and some AC there... but who knows how it will actually work out.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Mop it up on February 15, 2010, 09:29:31 PM
It might work. We could play a bit of The Conduit before you leave, and some Animal Crossing afterwords. What times might you be available both before and after?
EDIT: On second thought, there's no way I'm going to work tomorrow. I just realized that there is literally two feet of snow outside, it's over knee-high. When the number of inches of snow exceeds the age of my car, it means I can't go anywhere.
I'll be free pretty much all day, though I may end up hibernating.

I'm also available (most likely) tomorrow (monday) after 5pm EST

I might be able to play a bit Monday afternoon. I start work at 5 PST so that would be an hour or two to play before I had to go.

I'll start saving flowers to bring to help spruce up the place.

Would anyone like to meet up on Tuesday evening/night? It's been a little while since the last time I played so it'd be nice to catch up with the lot of you.
I finally caught my last bug! Though I hadn't played again yet to receive my golden net. That last fish still eludes me, I'm starting to wonder if the stringfish doesn't exist and is just a cruel joke. I've no idea how to find one of those. I hope to get it soon though because I'm running out of February days unless I want to travel backwards in time.

I'm going to hop on for a while in a short bit. I just want to run and grab some munchies first real fast. Anyone up to join me?

That's cool. I was just going to leave my gate open and fold some laundry and see if anyone dropped by. I know Mop it up was wanting to play tonight.

All right, so Maxi and I plan to have a little meet up tonight, starting at midnight EST. Stratos might show up as well, if he isn't too tired.
We've got room for one more person, if anyone would like to join us. Possibly two more, if Stratos doesn't show.

Can we meet in your town, Maxi Cakes? It's earlier there, and I'm too lazy to time travel.

Would be nice for GP to join us. Haven't played with her in a while.
Be on shortly. Grabbing food and then figuring how far back I have to time travel to save my flowers.

Maxi was tired, so he went to bed a little bit ago. I'm still up for playing though. Can we go to your town? I didn't bother with time travel, so it's very late in mine.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on July 05, 2010, 03:07:15 AM
OK, I'll be on shortly. I'm fiercely hungry.

I'm trying to get back into Animal Crossing: City Folk, now that it's the season of many events. What time do you all normally meet online? I'd like to join you some time.
Title: Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
Post by: Stratos on July 05, 2010, 03:58:18 PM
Later typically. I usually log on to games after midnight in Pacific Standard Time.

Yeah, we're a late bunch. If I remember rightly, you live somewhere in Europe, do you not? With the timezone differences, it's always difficult to find times that can match up. I've got someone on my list in Europe and Australia, and I never saw them all that much because it was difficult to catch them online (but it was still enough to get the region-specific items!). Like Stratos said, we tend to be on late due to our work schedules. There's an 8-hour differences between the Pacific Timezone and the UK, so midnight for him is 8AM for you.

Yep, I'm in England. If I could shift myself out of bed, I could be around at 8am GMT on most days. We'll have to exchange codes at some point.
