[Attention] Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Becoming the Mayor of Buttlordtown

I missed out on buying turnips because of the roadtrip. However they're 86 Bells today.

I've thought about time traveling but keep putting it off because of the hassle and also that I shouldn't be so serious about this game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wasn't able to nab turnips this Sunday but if anyone's interested apparently some guy on /v/ has them selling for 315 bells. If you're willing to risk it go ahead and share your friend code.

redacted link to /v/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd come to your town but apparently we aren't friends.

Also that /v/ thread has 404'd. Gonna go remove that link.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

gonna have to nab one of the routers i brought up to the meet haus and try this shit out


also hi philia thanks for making an amazing garden for me and all the sweet loot and swag <3<3<3

oh and don't waste your time making an orchard with island fruit

it only pays half as much as regular foreign fruits which is disappointing

all those lemons and mangos being bested by cherries and apples

just paid off my bridge - just for your info i'm time travelling b/c i grow bored and wish to see the future - it's honestly no more game breaking than turnip stuff is imo but whatevs

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Also fuck the one percent.



I was speaking idiomatically.

Radez, I was actually thinking of buying another copy of ACNL for AnnieMoose and doing a time-travelling stint with her account to a date where turnips are being bought for something like 400 to 500 bells. I'm curious as to travel between towns and time affects turnips. Like do they auto-spoil if you go to a town that has their time set to more than a week since you've bought your turnips? If they don't then you could potentially travel to some point in the future where turnips are being bought for ridiculous amounts of money. The other question: are turnip prices set in stone each day or are they assigned randomly every time the date or 12 hour period changes?

I propose that if you can travel to any town/time and turnips do not spoil and turnip prices while given out randomly are permanently set then you could potentially find a really easy way to make money. Just park your ass on a Sunday morning, buy turnips, and then Grays Sports Almanac your way to great success.

Also holy crap don't you only need like 7 million bells to fully upgrade your house? This game man. This game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've been playing this game since the original on GameCube. Figuring out ways to break the game and/or exploit it are basically the most fun things you can do with it. Nintendo does add some great things to each new version but it's by and large mostly the same game since the original. Also the writing and villager interaction has gotten lazier comparatively.

Well at least you can definitely say that about City Folk...

Spoiler:

But yeah I'll stick around to see what talking to Isabelle and performing mayor duties doles out. Isabelle's intro interaction was highly promising but now you barely get anything out of her unless doing some ordinance/public works or event. I don't count talking to her about what the villagers want to be interesting. They could have easily had a shit ton of flavor text that you get for talking to her behind the mayor's desk or something. Giving her a shell is probably going to be the highlight of interacting with her for a while. I hear there are things you might catch her doing depending on what you unlock later or some stuff between her and her brother but other than that *shrug*.

I'm hoping the inevitable Wii U Animal Crossing 1) actually takes advantage of the system from a gameplay and graphics perspective and 2) has the writing, interaction, variety, and effort put into the original GameCube game.

But yes I am having fun with ACNL so far despite certain things being a little disappointing. They have definitely done a great job with online compared to the past two games. Getting messages from you guys and visiting your towns has been really rewarding.

FELIPE NO

Alright, I was correct on how you can break the game. Currently selling turnips for 473 bells in AniMoose's town of Nortstar. Been timetravelling as Acer to buy turnips from various Sundays and traveling to her town with my inventory full of turnips. Not a single one rots. The only time travel business that is checked is when you change your own clock while having turnips in your inventory. It doesn't give a shit when you travel somewhere else with a drastically different date and time. So yeah what a great exploit!

If you'd like AniMoose has her gate open. You'll need to add her as a friend if you haven't already. I tried to add most people who have ACNL here to her friends list.

AnnieMoose aka Acer's silly alt account
5112 - 4708 - 5541

The alpine wallpaper on the ground is Philia's. That's the stuff she collects. If you have any you want to get rid of feel free to drop it off as you pass through. Ani collects classic and ranch. Acer collects modern, exotic, cabana, and any oriental Japanese shit. So yeah if you feel like dumping any of those things. That's a good place to do it.

But yeah that's only if you have turnips you'd like to get rid of I guess. Feel free to time travel and take advantage of this offer. I'll be idling. I only ask that you abide by ACNL etiquette and not run, not destroy anything, and not be an asshole in general. Despite it being my alternate town I actually take a lot of pride in it. I've applied what I've learned making my first town and I honestly think it's the better of the two. Feel free to explore it. Just be nice.

I've already had Philia and Radez come through and they have taken advantage of it being a great drop off point and to sell turnips respectively.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Btw my gate is open selling turnips at 473 bells until 11 AM EST. I'm letting the clock roll at what I last set it at last night. I'm currently at work. Be nice while I'm away.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I haven't gotten your letter yet. I'm assuming it was to AniMoose. I'll have to check for it. Also, I will be testing rolling it back to the day of 473 bells later tonight to see if it stays the same price. I already tested rolling back to the morning of the same day and it stayed the same price that it was that morning (207 bells if you're curious) and come 12 PM it changed to 473 bells again. So yeah later tonight we'll see how rolling back a day works with turnip prices.

Speaking of turnip prices I need to write down what warthog lady is selling them at. So far on the 16th she's selling them at 97 bells when I travelled back to that date. I recall it being around that price but I'm curious if her prices are set in stone too. If both scenarios are true you could potentially find the date in your town where she sells them to you the cheapest and then the date in the town you're traveling to where profit is ridiculous. Philia tells me there are some places that have sold turnips for like 800 to 900 bells or some such. Do want.

Also of note my gate is open but my 3DS system is closed shut. I assume it continues to stay open and be accessible. When I plug my headphones into it you can still hear the music. Kinda a neat feature if you like the music. You could potentially hook it up to some external speakers, put the volume low, and have it lull you to sleep. Anyway, just figured I'd mention that if for some dumb reason you can't travel to towns with their 3DS shut but gates open which I don't think is the case. You should be able to get to my town. That said it is now around midnight in Ani's town so store is closed and turnip prices will have changed. I'm kinda curious what they are now. Wouldn't it be fantastic if they were even better?!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

6/11 11:20 AM - 207
6/11 2:20 PM - 473
6/12 10:00 AM - 184
6/12 12:00 PM - 132

Now to test going back in time to 6/11 11:57 AM and see if it matches up...

Oh fuck.
6/11 11:58 AM - 118
6/11 12:00 PM - 94

Looks like it isn't consistent. That really sucks.

Guess I have to time travel to another day to reset it. I think as long as the day hasn't passed you can go back to the morning of and not have prices change, but if the date changes you'll lose that potentially nice price forever. Dang.

Also holy crap Radez thanks for all the mail and presents! <3<3<3

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, it is too bad. Although I guess it's nice in that it keeps things fresh for time travelers.

I'm leaving ani's gate open again. If any of you feel like using it as a furniture or whatever dumping area feel free. However don't bring turnips. Prices are at a record low. I'll have to search for a better date in the future for turnips.

Oh, also Redd is in town and the two art pieces left are fakes. So unless you'd like a fake don't bother.

Man, I wouldn't sell for anything less than 200 if I was forced to. I will have to look at my towns, nutty, and see if I can travel a bit to see if I can't get my price up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

so uh the ssid thing

it's legit

depending on your timezone you have like 20 minutes or less etc. etc.

just change your ssid to "Bestbuy" (exactly that) and if you have any password protection then add it as one of your connection profiles in the 3DS's settings

I haven't tried to see what happens when a no encryption no Internet connected device is used for this

I'll have to try that for the next one

anyway this shit works and I now have two raccoon clocks


speaking of dead lines I believe that club nintendo gold/platinum rewards thing is coming up soon

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

By mayoral powers you must mean bug net to the face and ignoring them until they leave and finally planting trees where their house was at so a new house won't spring up in the future.

FELIPE NO

You know it's an excellent reward for diligence in fashion but I sincerely hope that the inevitable Animal Crossing for the Wii U allows you to buy as many mannequins as you want. Having only 4 mannequins per player is kind of annoying. I was hoping to do some sort of section in the museum with a set of full costumes but alas. Also more storage. Always more storage. Never enough storage.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just posting a dream address I need to check out.
DREAM ADDRESS: 3400 - 0431 - 3656

found it on this acnl related tumblr - (?????)

Also just wanted to say thanks again to skills for letting me make almost 3.5 million in one trip. Wish I could have made 10 trips. That would have been awesome.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

oh boy animal crossing mash-ups! =)))

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Absolutely interested. Thanks for the heads up!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So I think I just made like 16 million bells tonight. Good times. Thanks Mo0. =))))

I wish I had the patience for this game. It starts to get old after a while. I've been taking a break so hopefully when it strikes my fancy I'll get back into it.

How ya doing, buddy?
