Hey guys!
I don't know, but I started buying every single flower package at Nook's and planting them around my house. I also stole a lot of flowers from other people's houses and around town, and planted them around my house as well. I can't say for sure if I'll win, but I certainly have the most flowers out of anyone.

But I bet that crossbreeding flowers will also boost your score, since they always emphasize those. Here's a guide that might help: http://www.animalxing.com/hybrids.php

Does anyone know if Dandelions count as a flower? I know they're actually weeds in reality. But since they're something you can't purchase, does that raise their value as far as this is concerned?

Not to brag, but... yeah, I'm gonna brag a little. I think I earned it with this: My last HRA score was 101,890 points!!

Gee I wonder why your house is awesome

My last HRA score was over 122,000. I have the green theme for my main room and tons of "special" feng shui items (Samurai suit, Jack-in-the-box, Tissue box) to boost my luck. Also, my red/green/yellow feng shui sides are full of 2X items.

my hra was only 13,200 but my house is so much cooler than that

If you have a massage chair in your catalog, order one now and take advantage that the mayor Mortimer is in town. If you approach him with the massage chair in your inventory he'll ask for it and give you a rare scallop in exchange which you can later give to Pascal (the guy by the beach) who in turn will give you either a Pascal Pic or a Golden Axe. I think that even if you have done this exchange before it'll allow you to do it again.
I've just ordered an extra massage chair for those of you who don't have one in your catalog and will set by my gates later today so that you can catalog it.

Turnip prices are low this morning, will check again in the afternoon.

My HRA is 188.900 but my house is a mess. I think it's the fenshui in my front room which is giving me the high rating. I also have my turnips on fenshui tables and tons of animal pictures all over. Try arranging your theme or furniture sets according to fenshui if you can and if you have any rare items they help score also. I've noticed it pays to do fenshui, at least I've experienced good fishing and acquired some hard to obtain items such as a garden knome and a mountain bike.

About Flower Fest:
One of my animal residents approached me with a tip: Nan said that if I used many different types of flowers rather than many of the same (and same color I supose) it would be better.

Very nice! I'm still around playing AC. I've just been busy with work lately. I'll try to be on tonight!

Thanks for the tip!

yes yes, i'm sure some others have figured out you can beat your towns people with your bug net, i didn't know this and did it by mistake, but you can beat them it is the best thing ever!!!

My gates are open. Nook is buying turnips at 129 bells. Everyone is welcome to stop by....

UGH! I had a perfect town 3 days straight but today a lot of flowers died so I am back to being mediocre. I even planted a bunch today but it's still saying my town is middlin'.

Grrrr.... :-)

did you open your gate yet?

I'm sorry you missed me last night, I will again have my gates open today on and off throught the day. I have to go out but gates are open you can come visit me. I still have the massage chair by the gate and I've also placed a country guitar that you can trade with K.K. Slider for his Picture. I'm on ESTime.

My turnip prices are 61 this morning, my Nooks is cheap.

nook is being a cheap dee deee dee all around he is buying for 59 at mine.

i came to visit tappy and left a couple bags of cash by you at the gate

I should stop by and get those two items for my catalog.
I'll also check and post my nooks price.
I haven't touched the game in a few days. I'm sure I have weeds like crazy and might have grumpy neighbors.

beat them on the head the with net, they love it!

I have been playing, but not much on wifi. I just started a new job and have switched schedules a couple times so I'm still trying to adjust my life around it. I will hopefully be on soon though. Can't wait to see what my special gift is

my nook is now buying for 104 i'll have my gate open later today around 8 EST if anyone really needs to get rid of them, but not really high enough IMO.

I found this information from a person on livejournal who does the time traveling thing...

I time travel, so I've done the flower fest a few times trying to win it. All you need to do to win is put down as many hybrid flowers on the last day, which is Sunday. It worked for me every time!! I would not have any flowers around my house all week then just put down 2 row deep circle of flowers around my house on Sunday with as many hybrids as possible (I had about 30 hybrids).

The only week I didn't win the festival was the week that I tried to actually water my flowers every day. I watered each flower about 3 times a day, and no matter what I would always have 2-5 flowers that dried out. The result was a garden with brown flowers and no trophy : ( And this was with hybrids too, which seem to dty out faster, imho.

Trust me - save your hybrids for the last day!!

My gates are open but I won't be active, feel free to come check out my nooks or do some weeding for me

I have 151 bell turnips! Unfortunately I don't have any turnips to sell, but you might!

I'll be opening my town shortly if anyone wants to sell, prices don't seem to have been that great this week for anyone, this is the highest I"ve seen it

Come one, come all! Nook is currently buying turnips for 529 bells in my town!

I've got plenty of fruit (every kind) and coconuts, so please, help yourself to any of it. If you'd like to drop an offering near the store, that's cool, but I don't require anything in return. Just glad to help out fellow AC addicts. :-) Oh, if you have a regal chair, I suppose I wouldn't mind holding it long enough to get it in my catalog -- I've been after one since December!

Here's the wi-fi info; I'm going online immediately after I post this, and I'll try to stay online as long tonight as possible:
