Q: How can I best maximize my rewards for the Bug-Off Tournament?

FAEThe third Saturday of every summer month is host to the Bug-Off Tournament. I've never really participated in these much because the majority of my play tends to be in the winter months in previous games, so I don't have a lot of experience with them. The Nookipedia article states the following...

Q: Does Re-Tail force you to leave at closing time?

Hyper AnthonyIn previous entries to the Animal Crossing series, the main shop in the village (some variation of Tom Nook's shop) responded to closing time. The music would change very near to closing time (~5 minutes to close) and Nook would eventually ask you to leave. Does anything like this happen in R...

Q: Where can bushes be planted?

Hyper AnthonyI purchased a "Y-hibiscus starter" from the tropical island's shop today. After some research I discovered that this would grow into a new class of plants -- bushes. Do bushes have the same growing patterns and restrictions as trees? For example, can they be planted near structures? Can they ...

Q: Can I talk to the blue Llama?

Ben BrockaReese's boyfriend seems to constantly be asleep. When I try and talk to him, she warns me that he's been hard at work all night, but I can't actually enter the shop at night. Is there any way to talk to him or any benefit for doing so? I've tried to talk to him daily for a week (thinking it was...

Oh neat, this lady goat moved in.
Agh, expand my house or order a fancy fence...
Though I likely won't have time to pay off my loan today, so I think I'll just get the fence...
Damn, no axe in my garden center. :(
14:04
Yayy! I can go to the island tomorrow!

@Fluttershy Woo!

Q: Is there any way to tell what size a bug/fish is after it's in your inventory?

FAEToday's the Bug-Off and according to the advice given here, I should turn my bugs of the same type in ascending order of size. Unfortunately, I caught all of my bugs last night in preparation, and I didn't realize as I was catching them that I should have written down their sizes in the process...

@FAE always get limited time items. The loan will still be there tomorrow

Q: How do I earn interest at the Automatic Bell Dispenser?

Ben BrockaI have been told the ABD actually gives out some interest based on how many bells you put in, but it's not every day. What % of interest do I get and how do I claim it? Do I have to play every day for it to count or what?

19:58
@James oh, right, I have you then

Q: Why . so . Sad?

JamesEvery time I open my inventory.. or catch a fish I believe.. My character frowns. Is there something I can do to stop this? Its a big annoying since I feel I am doing an ok job but if I stop to look at something or for something or catch something, suddenly they are grumpy.

Yay, home for the night, I can finish my Bug-Off now.
@StackExchange I am sad I'm kind of screwed in this regard though. :(
OMG
> I don’t really have enough room in my house to display the full-size fossils the museum doesn’t need, but I discovered talking to Cyrus at Re-Tail that he’ll actually take all the parts of a completed skeleton and create a miniature version for you to display in your house.

That is awesome
A gaming blog I read does a weekly Animal Crossing diary, and he posted this yesterday. That's so cooooool.

21:05
Hm. I'm torn over how many repeats of my bugs to turn in.
I have like, 8-10 Horned Dynastids I think
Yeah, this is definitely frustrating that I can't assess their sizes anymore. :(
FAE
FAE
21:20
I'm trying not to think about how many bells I'm losing by turning these over to Nat (who's just eating them anyway) and not selling them

Waugh, I don't know whether to turn in my Oak Silk Moths or my Goliath Birdwing Butterfly first
Oak Silk Moths are a lot bigger... but I only have one Birdwing...
@BenBrocka! What would you do? Halp!
I think birdwings are rarer but I'm not sure, I didn't turn either of those in
I just went after tons of butterflies since they were abundant when I was playing
@FAE those aren't very good actually
~40 points IIRC?
arigas butterflies hovered around 70-80 I think
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka They're both the same tier of rarity, hence my quandary.
Dynastid was my first 80+ actually. Haven't found any Agrias.
Current record is 112 points with a Cyclomattus Stag
@FAE wow
@FAE I think size only matters relatively speaking. So a super huge bug is'nt necessarily worth more points, only an above-average sized bug for that species. Could be wrong though, I didn't have many super-big bugs
FAE
FAE
Doing Oak Silk first
Yesssssssss 119 points for Birdwing
holy shit

21:59
oops typo, sorry
I'd have a heart attack if I got that much
But I did beat my old record, I'm in first place and it's like 15 seconds to 6pm now in my town.
Scored 5 pieces of Bug furniture in total. :)
I only got 2
but it turns out it's a monthly event
so there's another...july 20th I think?
FAE
FAE
3rd week in July, yeah
and August and... September too I think
Only summer months, the other months are fishing tournaments
Ah
Apparently it's the same schedule as city folk, I fired it up to test something today and turns out it's the bug off there too
FAE
FAE
Oh neat. What were you checking?
that the PC always frowns when opening the menu
22:06
I will be coming up on June 15th again in a day or so if you want to partake again
IT DOES!
Its annoying
FAE
FAE
haha, yeah, they do
hence my question about it :D
FAE
FAE
Man I need bigger tables and/or more flat surfaces
Also something annoying I found out is that if you have a dresser or other storage thing, you can't open it to access your stuff if you have something sitting on top of it. :/
Holy crap this shower stall is huge.
His mouth should really go straight instead of turning upside down, but still it makes sense
@FAE yeah, always been like that
I don't have enough good furniture yet to worry about space
Halfway to paying off the 198,000 bells payment
Second story comes next, right?
FAE

22:23
yep

Yay, more badges from Phineas!
So Fluttershy had an item in his Able Sister's shop today that cost 1.2 million bells
So booooored.
FAE
FAE
@Fluttershy Speak of the devil!
Wait... Who is Phineas? O_o
FAE
FAE
He shows up and will give you badges if you qualify for them.
How do I qualify? <_< I thought maybe it was an Island thing, but then I remembered those were medals.

dunno other stuff, I got some for having 50% bug/fish/ocean collection completion
Huh... Neat!
