Naw.. trust me.. I've been on the lookout.. cause when I see I can see it!! I found all 3 Gyroids after it rained no problems.. anyway 2 fossils today so maybe it's picking back up.

I found somebody who had kept all thier codes, so I made a new town on another card, grabbed those 3 and took em to my town. I mean.. if Nintendo isn't going to ratate the passwords anymore what other option was there?

You wouldn't happen to still have those codes, would you?

Hey, do you happen to have a blue table? I'm pretty sure it's the last piece I'm missing on my blue set.

I'll have to check. If I do, I won't be able to send it until Sunday, as I'll be out of town. I've got the strategy guide, so if you list which items you have, or at least how many items you have, I'll be able to tell you if there's anything else you need. Usually there's a number of standard items, then one you can only get from the lottery, and another you can get only from Redd (not counting stuff the townspeople give you) in every furniture series.

It's a great game when you get males talking about missing a blue table in their set :) It's a woman's dream come true.

:lol: Scary, yes. I got my blue table now.. :D

nickdawgy 10-24-03 08:52 PM

Do you get letters saying your house is all cluttered, Pixy? I mean my house "looks more like a warehouse"

:D

PixyJunket 10-24-03 10:54 PM

The last letter I got said something like "It looks like you finally picked a direct. Good, stick with it!"

nickdawgy 10-24-03 11:56 PM

I can't seem to get mine straight, lol. I always get the mean letters :D

Womp 10-25-03 12:37 PM

Could I get one of those Big Screen TV codes too, please? :)

Name: Chris
Town: Tricity

Also, does anyone know of a way to copy your town data to another memory card? Right now my town data is on my brother's card and I've bought my own memory card that I would like to put it on...However when I go to do it the GC memory card manager, it won't allow me to do this. Is there a workaround?

Thanks!

sdcrym 10-31-03 11:09 PM

Damn those townspeople!!! I figured I would have enough candy to get all the items, but my supply dwindled before I decided to hide my candy in my letters until I found Jack. Unfortunately, I ran out of candy before I got the bed or the clock. If anybody has duplicates of these items, Scott in Spiketon would appreciate a code for them. He can return the favor by offering a sofa, wallpaper, and maybe something else, I'll have to check.

PixyJunket 11-01-03 12:09 AM

I had like 30+ pieces of candy. :(

I got MULTIPLES (like 3-5) of all the items but no bed or dresser.

Can we even trade these with passwords?

whotony 11-01-03 05:29 PM

hmm jack was the first guy i came to. lucky 'cause i only had one piece of candy.

i think it gave me a classic bed.

i did get a bunch of jack o lanterns and a jack in the box.

ben12 11-01-03 06:47 PM

My Halloween was kind of crazy. I just started playing a week ago, and I didn't know that you had to have a supply of candy ready for Halloween. I also didn't know where you get a mask from. I also didn't know what happens to you if you have no candy! So I turn on AC at about 7:00 last night before going out. Everyone starts running at me demanding candy! I gave the first guy a locust b/c that's all I had. I figured a bug would be a pretty cool Halloween gift anyway. Nope! He zapped me and ruined my clothes. I walked around like this for a while, getting zapped over and over again. I even got zapped by a guy who'd just moved in, and I hadn't even met him yet. Of all the nerve! It wasn't until I was far far from home that I realized that everytime they zapped me, one of my posessions turned into a jack-in-the-box! I lost like 3 migratory locusts that I would've sold earlier, but Nook had his raffle day on the 31st... (I only had 1 raffle ticket b/c I didn't know how you actually earn raffle tickets). I was terrified that they would turn my shovel, net, etc. into jack-in-the-boxes, too! I was really careful making my way back home. Those pumpkin masks ended up looking REAL scary! I ended up making it home alright without losing any more stuff.

Bright side - My AC Halloween was genuinely scary. I sold my jack-in-the-boxes for 4500 bells!

princessducky 11-02-03 12:41 AM

I actually got the whole set.

I played ith my character and got everything except the bed. Then I helped my sister with her character and she ended up getting like 3-4 beds.


Hahahha......I have the whole theme set up already!

whotony 11-02-03 05:07 PM

i can't find a fishing pole.
and nook isnt selling any.

ben12 11-02-03 05:24 PM

Can you get any good prizes during these fishing tournaments? I got a 21 incher and received a stupid outfit as a prize. Ugh.

Keep looking, he'll sell one eventually.

I believe the only unique item is the Angler's Trophy, which you receive as a gift for talking to Tortimer any Sunday this month.

hahah! these halloween stories are great! :). When I did it we didn't have enough candy because we started late. It's really hectic and crazy.

PixyJunket 11-03-03 02:11 PM

I scored about 200,000 Bells from extra Halloween furniture. :D

i-bystander 11-03-03 02:52 PM

I'm now an official Animal Crosser! :)

I got the game last Wednesday, and have been playing it every day since then. I don't really have a Halloween story because I didn't have candies (so I got 'tricked' every time), and I came in second place at the fishing tourney. I still have about 75K to go before I pay off my first house upgrade. I've been catching bugs and fish, and I'm going to try going to the island later (if I get a chance). I don't have any golden tools yet (not even a golden shovel), but I'm slowly working my way. Do I need the golden shovel for the island, or can I just bring the regular shovel with me?

Question on the e-reader cards again: I have a ton of character cards... what do I do with them? I don't have an e-reader, and I don't know how to send the codes to my villagers (they keep saying they don't understand my letters too!).

Oh, and if anyone wants to send me some 'housewarming' presents... Ray in Portage.

:D

ClarkKentKY 11-12-03 03:05 PM

i'm desperate to find an NES Game... i haven't come across one yet.


BY the way.. What is the point of Animal Island? I've transferred it to my GBA and it really sucks. I gave the islander a net, and a fishing rod and a shovel, and he catches stuff, but doesn't give it to me, its not in his house, its not in the other island house, the stuff jsut disappears. I don't get it! Its not even the tiniest bit fun.

PixyJunket 11-12-03 03:26 PM

You have to feed him fruit, then he will give you the items. If you bury stuff, give him lots of fruit, then have him dig it up, you'll get lots of good stuff in replacement (sometimes).

Give him just fruit and you'll get money.. there's plenty to do with it.

As for the NES games, the easiest way to get them is if you have the trading cards.. get a card of an Animal who lives in your town and mail them the passwrod, they will give you an NES game. You acn do this over and over and get different ones I think.

ClarkKentKY 11-15-03 08:50 PM

Okay, I dont' like to cheat, but i used some universal codes to get some Nintendo games.

If anyone is super nice, and really awesome, and has an action replay, and wants to send me codes for any of the following i'll gladly accept:

Mario Bros.
Pinball
Punch-Out!!
Super Mario Bros.
Zelda

CHARACTER: Beans
TOWN: TheShire

princessducky 11-16-03 02:14 AM

The only game I have is "Tennis" which one of the animal buried!

I see people naming their character name and town name.....is there a way to go visit there or something???

Mezzanine 11-16-03 11:26 AM

No, but you need a person's name and town if you're going to send him/her an item.

nickdawgy 11-16-03 11:32 AM

I believe the only way to "visit" someone is by having their memory card.

How do we send items to them? I thought you can only send it to people in the town you are in? I have two towns and I can't send mail to my other character if I'm in my own town.

Sorry, I've been playing a few months and don't know how to do all this stuff yet! thanks everyone!

ClarkKentKY 11-16-03 02:26 PM

Go to Tom Nook. Select hear code or say code, i cant' remember which. Pick an item you want to send. Tell the town name and character name. And tom nook will give you a specific code.
