Animal Crossing Issues...

Nancy did u get my PM???

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

Not yet - just got it.

Wow this is a great thread. I can't believe all of the money people are making with turnips, it opens up a world of possibilities. The money that you are talking about (millions) is so different to what I though was possible. I was really happy and thought I was making the most amount of money possible with my 15,000 stringfish. Thanks for all the great info.

Feel free to PM me with your friend codes so that I can get in on the action.

ps I can't believe how obsessed I have become in such a small amount of time.

I have decided this is my week to make a million bells (I hope). I put all my money into white turnips today. Since I only have a one-upgrade house, my living room is full of turnips! I hope someone here gets a good price for white turnips this week (like Nancy did last week!).

Was the flea market over at noon?

We had to get my FIL settled in a rehab today after his spinal surgery this week, so we actually had to get up and out and away from the TV. AND we went out last night too! We're working on our addiction, however, I just heard the Animal Crossing music come on. Greg-a/k/a Habeeb is on the move

Edit: DUHGreg says flea market is still going! Gotta see if I can distract him and get on and sell my stuff.

How funny (and remarkably similar to us) you guys are!!!!!

OK - Where else but the DIS can you have a computer game and be doing something regarding that game in 4 countries within the span of 4 hours?

I was playing with Quirky from Australia, emailing with Cyrano from Scotland, then playing in the US with pormouse from Portland, OR, and then off to Windsor ONT with janjandis!

As a side note - Ian has pink hair now... he went to Shampoodles..... He's not fond of it...... Moral. Don't respond with "flirty".....

 

[DUHgreg]

Melissa - we are open now under Ian's character. I'm planting all of the flowers that we just got from someone for making a custom design for them.

Greg - You ROCK!!! What was your secret? We still haven't been able to do that! Can't wait to visit your museum!

If you see the snowball move, move slowly with net at the ready. Make sure your aim is true. (Try to channel Elmer Fudd and Elvis Costello at the same time.) For us, these are not obscure references.
Finally got a TUNA! Of course, we have an agreement that the first catch of anything goes to the museum. Looking forward to the next.

It is great how technology has made the world smaller.

Hello all!
We lost our internet Saturday afternoon at 4:30 after DS was visiting one of his friends town and it did not come back up until the middle of the night last night!!! We had so many questions Saturday night and yesterday that I could not even post to ask LOL.

But we survived! We made it through the flea market and I kept running to the City looking for Joan and lo and behold we found her by the beach! But we bought some turnips and he furnished his house (he wanted Classic and found it around 8pm last night in some homes!) We sold our stringfish....I only sold for $20,000.00 he was more daring and got $30,00.00 for his!

So needless to say we did not get to visit anyone after his on Saturday night. He was able to load up on the cherries and planted them! So we will see how that works out!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!! Its nice to feel like part of civilazation again!

Note from Parrotheadlois - please excuse his obscure references

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

I didn't see anything obscure in that post..... All pretty contemporary to me! Does that mean I'm old?

I defintely know I have to curb my late-night AC playing. It's starting to take it's toll..... I'm falling asleep catching fish - just like for real!!!!

Now I have to redig up all my flower beds and start working on my hybridization colonies...... Until the spring fish and bugs come in March!!!!

 

[janjandis]

OOOOO, can't wait to see Ian's new hair!!!

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

He refuses to put the afro back on until he gets it changed back. He knows what phrases make what color hair now, so it will probably be normal this evening. Until then - he refuses to take off the trucker hat he's wearing!

 

[dpuck1998]

Tell me about hybrids, how do we get them and how do we know when we have them?

 

[disneym2m]

Hybrids are a cross of two flower. For example a red tulip and a white tulip will make a pink tulip. I had a yellow pansy and a red pansy mix and now my pansy is yellow with red trim. You will know when you see a flower that is not the usual red rose, yellow cosmos, etc.

You can get a hybrid by planting the same flowers next to one another and water everyday. Then you just have to wait and see what occurs.

This website will give you all the possible combinations.

Have fun and welcome to the world of gardening.

what happened to Ian's hair? Greg/Habeeb is now Greg with his Wii face (looking very much like Greg). sigh....Habeeb was cute, except with the hockey mask.

Maybe I'll have to make another character.

Did you know that if you get bee stings with your Wii face - nothing happens to you!

Actually remove your Mii mask and you will see that you have been stung. Swollen eye and all. I thought that to until I removed the mask and realize it.

How do you catch a TUNA? I do the same thing I always do when fishing but that darn thing gets away every time. What is the trick. Help me before I go crazy.

 

[Stacy's a freak]

I actually caught a bee last night!! I thought it was a myth that you can catch one but after getting stung on my first attempt last night, I thought ... 'I'm already scaring my townies so what the hell.' Now that I have one in the museum, I can stop worrying about it

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a trick. If you have caught fish before, it is the same concept. But of course you can't tell which "fish shadow" is a tuna and which is not. I caught a tuna about three weeks ago and donated that one to the museum. I haven't seen one since. Last night after 8:30 pm, I just happened to catch one.

According to this website you can catch a tuna all day from November to March. They are in the ocean BUT they are considered rare.

Just keep trying for any BIG "fish shadow". I know that probably doesn't help much, but there really isn't a good reason to it. I think it is just a luck of the draw. I know that you are suppose to catch a certain fish only when it snows or rains. I have tried for hours and still haven't found that silly fish.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I am sure there are other AC players that can give added suggestions.

Go Dave!!!! It was fun playing with you this morning. I'm glad I was up so early wrapping my audition tapes for the Disneyland correspondent position. Wish me luck - I'm emailing them today.

Lois - your tress are growing great.

Jan - same with yours.

Melissa - girl, we have to get you back over and replace a tree with a cedar. We have had such poor luck with growing your tree!!!!

We're going to be open most of the day.

Thanks Nancy. It was fun learning the ropes from you on Saturday. After we finished up I only played for an hour on Sunday, then spent a few hours playing GTA. Talk about polar opposite games.

I finally caught up on all the posts here. Hybrid flowers????? Too much to do and so little time.

The peaches we planted on Saturday were up this morning. For the last few days I have been playing between 5am - 5:20am on the weekdays; just before the dog walk and leaving for work. So this morning I was frantic planting peaches and more oranges, then getting my coffee form the penquin. Day 4 in a row in the roost. I expect coconuts, cherries, and pears to come in tomorrow or Thursday.

Did you get the item I sent? I was wonder how long in-game mail took.

Good luck on the DL correspondent spot. I think you'd be a perfect fit for the job.

Dave
