    Hmm guess it didn't work. I'll be opening the town up again tonight around 630 PST. So if anyone wants some fruit let me know.

    I posted the bug guide for the month in the wiki. I just took what the guide said, so sorry if there are any errors. I'll get a fish on up later. I need to play!

    Couldn't join your town after three tries of almost 5 minutes each.
    I decided to go fishing instead.

    Well, I just caught a Ray in the ocean. It wasn't listed as being available in November, so I've already found bad information. All I can say is it's after 9 a.m. right now.

    Oh man, did this drop?

    I've got it preordered, but haven't even thought about it accept as a black cloud on the horizon that threatens to cut me off from my Fallout.

    Now to systematically deny my wife internet access for the next week so I can finish my romp through the wasteland.

    The wiki page now has a guide for fish as well. :D

    However, as you can see by TeaParty's recent victory, the guide is not 100% accurate.

    If someone is feeling super-awesome, a 'last chance this month for x' guide would be fantastic.

    Allows one to avoid spoilers whilst also making sure you don't miss something until next year.

    I'm going to open my gates for the next hour or so (FC in Wiki). My town has cherries, and you'd be super nice if you brought a fruit in. Come and have fun, I plan to fish a little and sell them to that asshole raccoon, who's having a special sale on some wagoon right now.

    I remember the day I purchased that crown in WW. Putting on the matching beard and strutting around like owned the damn world.

    I assume the turnip trade is back, and therefore mass turnip rushes and instant riches from tips will also be back?

    Hey Djiem you think the whole connection error might've been the canada-usa connection? I just noticed you're our only maple resident on the wiki.

    edit: Yes Turnip trading is back, however finding that godforsaken trader has been quite difficult.

    I'm confused, I've downloaded the WiiSpeak channel already. Maybe I should go try it out.

    edit: okay, so having downloaded the channel, upon starting it, I'm greeted with a message that says, "wiispeak service has yet to begin. It will be available before the end of the year."

    This has no impact on using Mics in Animal Crossing.

    I was wondering if anyone is using the Auction House as an easier way to trade fruits? You can always make them 1 bell if you're just wanting to give them away. I'm assuming you can put them up for as much or as little as you like.

    That's what irks me about this game. They just didn't make any creative effort.

    Gardening could've been expanded to be a worthwhile diversion. Think about how they could've actually made gardening fun. What if after paying your mortgage, you had an option of what you wanted to attach to your home? What if you could build a greenhouse and grow and breed exotic veggies and plants? Shit like that.

    I've got nothing against virtual yard. It's the work part that gets me. I don't like pulling weeds in real life, and nothing about cel-shading changes that.

    Also not an insult as this is exactly what you mean.

    Plus, while not necessarily cross breeding. there are a few plants that don't normally grow in your town.

    For example, you CAN grow a tree that sprouts money. :P

    Well, I tried to do just that a few hours ago. He said the next auction cycle (or something like that) wasn't until November 29th. I'm officially confused about the auction house.

    I was under the impression that auctions happened on a time cycle, like once a week. I may be wrong about this however. I don't think it's really an effective way of getting fruit however...

    There are two phases every auction: display periods and bid periods. You can't bid on items during display periods; you may only put items up for display. You may only display one item per auction, however, and you set the base price on how many Bells someone must bid in order to win the item.

    Lloid will tell you when the next display or bid period of the auction will be held-just ask.

    When the display period ends, the auction shifts to the bid period. Now you can place bids on items you hope to win! Here are the rules to placing bids:

    * You may place only one bid per auction
    * You can't see any bids other players make.
    * You must have enough Bells in your pockets to cover your bid (there's an ABD machine out in the plaza if you need more bells).
    * The Bells in your bid are held by the auction house until the end of the auction.
    * When the auction ends, all items go to the highest bidders. If your bid was the highest, you walk away with the item you bid on.
    * If you put an item up for display and someone bids on it, you get the Bells and they get the item.
    * Bells and items are automatically transferred by the auction house when each auction ends.

    I just took what it said in the guide. From what Lloid told me, the next display period is November 29. I wish they weren't so spread apart.
