Agreed! I’d do it now but the 3DS is off for the night. Same time tomorrow? I’ll open the gates for you!

I’ll try to be up! What time will you have the gates open?

Technical question: does my 3DS need to be on when I open the gates for you to visit?

I’ll be slogging away at some accounting HW, but I’ll try my best to open it for midnight EST. I get Tapatalk notifications on my phone, so a PM here might help to remind me in case I space out. 🙂

I’m not sure… I think you need to be in the game with the open gates. If I’m up, I’ll PM you to remind you.

_Sigh_  
Anyone have an extra shovel, or watering can? I accidentally sold mine. PM me if you can help… I need to dig up fossils and water my flowers.

You ain’t got money for a shovel? I could see about picking up a second one for you and visiting your village tonight, if you’re interested. Shame we can’t mail stuff back and forth!

I’m good now, but thank you. I still have to visit your town though. I’ll try to PM you tonight about it, after this stupid bug-off.

I just got one of these last week: 4914-3852-9899.

I’m mostly playing Mario now but one Pokemon Y comes out I’ll be spending time on that.

2, I think. Not the one where I ca play Luigi. I like it so far, but GTA V has taken up most of my time.

I have three gold Bug-Off trophies. 😃 I put one in my main living area, one in the upstairs room (a bathroom), and the third in the museum.

I didn’t know you could get a second Floor until I visited someone else’s town! I’ve just been filling up my room with as many gyroids as I can. It’s super annoying to be in there, now.

Yep…you can get a second floor, a basement, and three additional rooms (I’m not sure about the order). Other house upgrades expand the sizes of the rooms.

The gyroids have always freaked me out a bit for some reason…when I find one that isn’t so bad, I put it on the stage at the club.

If you get over 5,000,000 in your account, you get a beifcase full of money from the post office.

According to the animal crossing wiki, gyroids are loosely modeled around Terra Cotta funerary dolls from medieval Japan. So…assuming the implication is that you’re grave robbing every time one sprouts up in your village, you’re right to be creeped out. 😃

Funerary, huh? Kinda makes me wonder about the gyroids stationed in front of each house in the original Animal Crossing.
