Another chat window to keep open!

Whheee!
I thought it might be handier to condense all this stuff here considering so many of us are playing.
Is there anything else I should pin?
You should add "Hitting FAE with shovels" the the description.
I think that's sort of implied
FAE
FAE
>_>
Woo, got a Nintendo Block for today's fortune!

@BenBrocka Can you check and make sure I set the feed up properly?

Q: Who can visit the island?

CyberSkullI visited the island for the first time today in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Later my sister (a resident in my town) went to the dock, but Kapn wasn't there. Are there restrictions on who may go to the island, or is it only one trip a day?

Q: Where can I find medicine?

FluttershyI know it is possible to be stung by bees in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I learned that the hard way when I was trying to find my furniture tree. Now, I have an eye swollen shut and all of my towns people are making fun of me. They're all being kind enough to inform me that I need Medicine, but ...

Q: Have there been any changes to the Automatic Bell Dispenser since City Folk?

Hyper AnthonyI'm curious to know which features, if any, have changed regarding the Automatic Bell Dispenser that acts as a Bank in the Animal Crossing series. So far, I've noticed: Is located in the Post Office and on the Tropical Island Still rewards a Tissue Box after depositing 100,000 bells... and pre...

Q: How do I find and catch a cricket?

OrigamiRobotI keep hearing crickets at night, but I can never see them. Do I have to do something to make them come out?

1
Q: What can I do with this basket on the dock?

OrigamiRobotOn the dock, there appears to be some sort of lobster trap. Whenever I try to interact with it, the game just tells me it's empty. What can I do with this and how do I use it?

Yeah I'd say they're working
FAE
FAE
Oh hey. >_>
Should we have any other columns on the AC spreadsheet?
Yay, donated my first piece of art to the museum!
I haven't seen redd since I had no bells
do the visitors like redd and sahara still come around the same weekday every time?
FAE
FAE
12:34
@BenBrocka I don't think Saharah comes on a certain day. Tristan had her Wednesday and I got her today.
Also I added a "Requests" column to the spreadsheet in case people are looking for certain things
13:00
huh. I think they all might do that? Some days I get no special visitors
Oh, I have to chat up sable to use the QR codes I guess
good thing I started early
@Wipqozn oh god
EVERYONE GO LOOK AT MY JOKE IN THE SPREADSHEET AND LAUGH SO I CAN CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING SERIOUS
13:06
> His mayor card literally says "My body is ready."
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka hahaha wow
Is there some way we can find what "item list" our town has?
IIRC the last games always had 3? possible lists of items for Nook's to carry and it was much harder to find items outside your list without visiting a friend
if so it'd be good to include I guess
@OrigamiRobot The first part of your request is done.
@Wipqozn Close enough.
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Can you add these links to the Resources pin? I forgot them. Face guide, potential map layouts
@BenBrocka Hm, I've no idea. I never really had anyone to play with in the previous games.
Thanks!
13:15
Posted a Q. Google didn't help

Nook gets no respect :(
@BenBrocka Nyuck-nyuck-nyuck
Nook just wants to offer you interest free, no deadline loans, hm?
@OrigamiRobot saw it
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka 298k for second story upgrade.
13:26
I guess that's more than it was in AC, maybe
do we still get a basement? Because that was surprisingly cool
FAE
FAE
pretty sure we do, yeah
I really wish we could take screenshots of the bottom screen. :/
@FAE Yeah. Also I wanted a picture of Resetti but since he's in the menu it won't let me take pics
He got fired :(
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Yeah, heard about that for this game. :(
I have abused my first villager's catchphase. The duck that says "duckling" now says f#&ckling" (one character censorship wasn't enough)
OMG I want a tarantula
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Holy shit!
@BenBrocka I always change mine to Dutch swear words.
13:34
@BenBrocka I got one last night.
@FAE It detects english swear words
@OrigamiRobot lucky, what time? I haven't seen any
are they on the ground?
Around midnight. On the ground.
ground bugs are tricky
FAE
FAE
Aaaah, okay, I think I saw one the other night
Pretty hard to miss.
FAE
FAE
13:35
I noticed it in the process of entering Re-Tail though and when I came back out it was gone :(
@BenBrocka I tried using "kankerhoer" but it wouldn't let me, I think maybe because of "hoer".
What does that mean?
awkward
It sounds disgusting.
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Uh, "cancer-ridden whore", the Dutch like to swear with diseases.
plz to not be flagging me
13:37
@FAE Yea, that's about what I assumed.
How many characters are allowed in catchphrases?

Q: Are there still "item lists" at Nooks'?

Ben BrockaIn the first Animal Crossing there was a special feature to encourage visiting friend's towns; each town had an item rotation (A B or C I think), and certain items outside of your item rotation would be very hard to find as Nook's either wouldn't sell them or they'd only show as showcase items or...

Q: What's a guy got to do to get a haircut around here?

Ben BrockaI need a haircut; how do I get access to Shampoodles in this game? Her shop is greyed out and I don't like my haircut. Is it still part of Nooks' or what?

so to get my screenshots do I have to basically remove my SD card and copy them to my PC?
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Yep
There's a DCIM folder, everything's in there
I don't have an SD card reader :(
@BenBrocka I'm seeing someone talking about using dropbox from the 3DS browser.
Sounds more complicated though
can I just pull the SD card while the DS is asleep or will it flip it's shit?
FAE
FAE
13:49
@OrigamiRobot I always forget this thing even has a browser
@BenBrocka No idea, I always power mine down first.
@BenBrocka Yea, but I don't have any other way.
FAE
FAE
there are USB card readers for pretty cheap
@FAE It says to do that, but I never turn my 3DS off
Blegh, not interested enough.
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Nice. I had my City Folk person decked out in a top hat, tux, and nice shoes
13:53
I want a top hat :(
FAE
FAE
lol, dammit, Tristan texted me and it made my phone vibrate and startled me and I messed up pulling in a fish
@OrigamiRobot Me tooooo
@FAE How terrible. You should scold him.
There's top hats
Someone left my town the other day and doing so made me lose a fish (the cutscene apparently scares the fish you're catching away)
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka oh damn
yeah, was a shark too
FAE
FAE
13:58
I'll make sure to double check before I leave people's towns
Also, @BenBrocka I think there's more than one furniture tree a day, I know I had 2 the other day.
OMG some of this ocean stuff is really hard to catch
It used to be 2 I think
FAE
FAE
I don't always check every day because I don't always have the patience for dealing with bees
I just don't have the patience to check all the trees
Bees don't really bug me, aside from the villager quotes it doesn't really do anything to you
Since the villiger in Smash has the creepy default face I'm almost sad I didn't get it. I got it the first time but I remade my map and I picked the smug face

Q: How do I get medals for the island?

Ben BrockaOn the island there was a little shop but it wanted medals to purchase things. I did notice there's a little girl (er, little Kappa) who's playing "store" but I didn't sell her anything since I was in a rush to gather bananas and durians and bugs. How do I get medals for the island? Is there an ...

15:09
Any of you guys home and want to go to the Island together?
I shall take that as a no. <_<
I wont be home till laaaaaaaaaaaaaate
FAE
FAE
I'm not sure where to put my 3rd bridge...
15:25
@FAE Do you think it'd let me bridge my two beaches together?
FAE
FAE
@Fluttershy No.

Q: How do I get Kapp'n to stop serenading me?

FAESo when I first unlocked Tortimer's Island and took the first trip with Kapp'n, he asked me whether or not I wanted him to sing a song on the way or not. Seeing as it was my first trip, and I was heading to the Island with some friends, I figured why not have some entertainment. This has now be...

15:53
@FAE I don't think that's the beach he's talking a bout
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I know it's not, but the info there shows you can't build on a beach at all.
woo, caught 2 ocean sunfish
@FAE I picked a map with one contiguous beach for exactly this reason.

Q: Will NPC villagers contribute to public works projects?

Ben BrockaIsabelle hinted that villagers could donate to public works projects but that they probably won't succeed without my input. So I assume I'm definitely going to have to chip some in for this stuff to happen, but when she says that does she mean other flesh and bone players can also donate, or wi...

16:29
@OrigamiRobot I have a smallish section that's separate but I tend not to check that one as much.
FAE
FAE
16:40
Isn't having friend code on that sheet kinda redundant seeing as it's already on the first?
Oh, didn't see the IDs thing was pinned too
I guess. Though the friend code makes the one sheet all-in-one
FAE
FAE
They link to the same document even.
I just made a new sheet in the Bridge ID one for AC specific stuff

Q: System vs Game time settings?

JamesAnimal Crossing is a real time game in which things are very much progressed in 'one day at a time' measurements. The game will read your system time but it also has its own time. Is there any difference between changing the in-game time vs the system time to help go through the initial days? I a...

! :D There's a building under construction on my Main Street!
18:06
Next to Ables? I know what that is
18:27
Shouldn't this be pinned in this room?

@Wipqozn What?! You again?!
Man, that was @Wipqozn level typoing.
@BenBrocka I think it's the Garden Center, pretty sure that's the only thing I could've unlocked at this point.
@Wipqozn I hate that tumblr's raw image links don't hint at a source
@FAE Impressive.
@FAE yep
Oh, it's watermarked though
@FAE Same here. If it's between nooks and the ables then it's the garden centre.
18:49
yeah it's one of the earliest ones you can get
@Wipqozn oh, cool. Do they have categorized themes?
I was thinking something Mega Man but I can't find any examples
@BenBrocka grabbed that frmo here
Oh, I was just listening to a mega man one.. just sec
Wily's theme from MM2? Sounds just a bit off
I guess the timing is wrong
18:59
might use that metroid item pickup sound
Yeah, the metroid one is really well done.
Someone should do the Pokemon theme.
FAE
FAE
Gonna go play some GW2 for now. Anyone want me to keep my gate open for anything?
@FAE Yeah, I want to come into your town and cut down all your trees.
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn Good luck, seeing as you don't have an axe yet. :P
19:12
@FAE pfft, I have THREE axes
Man, I really want an axe.
I'm holding off on setting up a fruit orchard until I get an axe.
I got an ax but I need it to tidy up my orchard
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Oh wow, you got one in Nookling's?
@Wipqozn I've started mine partially.
@FAE no, garden shop
it sells them and watering cans as tools
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Aaah gotcha. Looks like I'll be able to get mine tomorrow then.
Speaking of orchard, I have one spot where every tree I plant dies. It's in the middle of a bunch of other trees, spaced like all other trees. I don't get it
FAE
FAE
19:17
Weird...
@BenBrocka Try digging in that spot.
See if you find anything.
I've dug it up several times when the tree dies
19:40
huh.
may be bad luck I guess, I'll try another
19:54
Maybe it's just too close to the other trees, and would either block exit from an area, or doesn't have the water or ground space to survive among the other trees.
@ShotgunNinja It's the same distance as everything else
20:29
Huh.
Maybe you're at some internal tree limit.
I've planted trees since it's died before. And I'm not really super-forrested
well then I don't know.
Maybe it's on the corner of some internal tile system, and is bugging out when you try to plant it there.
Dunno. It's super weird

Q: How long will items stick around when dropped?

JamesIf I drop an item on the ground, how long will it stick around? I am not talking about displaying an item or a pattern but taking, say, a stack of gold and dropping it some where. Will it eventually despawn or is it there for good?
