So I bought a 3ds XL on ebay brand new for $166 with free shipping, couldn't pass up that good of a deal. Is there anyone with an extra copy of the game that they wouldn't mind giving me to me using the registration promotion? I'm pretty short on cash at the moment and can't really afford much for the system at the moment, but I couldn't pass up a new 3ds at that price.

Yeah, I have three. 1590-4796-0038. I'll take the cash. (Or a lawn mower or sprinkler if you have them)
I really can't believe that they would force anyone who cares about their town's layout (you know, the main theme of this particular enhanced port of a Nintendo 64 game) to start every day by going through the process of making a new dummy character and patrolling the town to make sure that something didn't place a construction site in the middle of their garden.
...and now a villager I was going to let go did the whole "I'm moving out. On second thought, I'm staying" thing. So I guess my town is now locked in the same state for the rest of the month as I spend each day doing chores, hoping that watering all these stupid flowers will eventually restore some of the grass and my town will stop looking like crap.
Why does this game have to be so... Nintendo.

At least you can reset to get them to change their mind, but of course Resetti will attack you if you built his thing.
I guess there is charm to having the animals randomly place houses, but any charm in that is destroyed when they decide to move in over paths and flowers. For the next game I hope they expand the public works idea and let you make actual paths that villagers can't move in over, and also maybe let you set residential areas where you would like villagers to move. Would remove a lot of the headache.
Thank you! I don't have the two items, but will gladly pay you. My FC is 2836-0194-8979
I added you. If you open your gates I'll be right there

Gate is open. You want the third row of starts from the left.
He'll never be far!Well, as long as the Internet is around. :/
That fact makes his heart-felt sendoff a lot less special.

I think unicorns are more progressive than horses.
She's talking about a Mama Panda Bear. And I'm slightly concerned because I'm not sure what she means.
Nope, the only frog villagers I have so far are Henry and Prince. Hoping I get Lily real soon, she's my most wanted frog right now. I'm going to end up with 4 frog jocks, they're all so cool! :<

I have Cousteau hanging around the other place if you want him. I think he's my favorite of the frogs I've seen so far. He even speaks French.
Thank you very much for your help!

Perfect peaches are the premium item today at my Re-tail so if anyone wants to sell let me know at some point today.
Oh, yes I would like to have him.
Do you know when he'll be available; I might need to make some space for him.
Random house placement was acceptable in previous versions because you were never supposed to feel like you're in control of the town. This time you're the mayor, but end up feeling just as powerless.
The part I find really baffling is allowing for random house placement while at the same placing an insane number of restrictions around public works projects, including wait times for randomized suggestions. Even doing the reset trick to get an inoffensive house placement, I ended up screwing myself out of some public work project locations.
I can understand that they could somehow not become aware of people's desire to place paths, but to sabotage the main new feature...?

That's the town I time travel in so he's ready whenever. I can force him out or hold onto him for a little while.
Perfect. Thankyou man. I am pleased to see that I have unlocked most of the shit PWPs already.

Huh. Perfect Cherries are premium in my game. Native fruit is peach. I THINK Phillia wanted to dump her cherries? Cannot remember.
Ah, ok. I'll make some room asap, pretty sure somebody should be ready for a move. I'll definitely let you know, thanks.

In a way the housing is worse in this game. Older games would have signposts randomly placed around town and you knew not to plant flowers or trees nearby since they were basically markers where a potential villager house would be built.
Now it's like the wild west, houses popping up in flower beds, in front of bridges, or in front of the mayor's mansion. C'mon now!
While I love being mayor in this game, I have always basically wanted to be Tom Nook. A new villager has to come to me and I'll lead them to a nice location where we can build their house. They pay me some monthly rent or randomly come to me and ask for renovations. Ah, that would be nice!
No! Don't think that way... just remember... you will always be his first.
True. He even said I could visit him anytime I want.
Prepare to have your gate open 24/7. You woudn't reject Barold's wishes, would you?
Also, I wonder if he'll still have the Tom Nook vest when he moves into your town.

Pretty much everyone I know with a 3DS already has the game, so you can have mine. I'm from the UK, but I believe the codes can be used anywhere.
That would be great, I don't have too many, so I wouldn't take long. FC: 3007-9448-6294

No problem. Just give me plenty of notice when you have someone moving so I have time to get him out.
Awesome. Yes, I do have some perfect cherries to offload. I need to add you.
Pming you my FC and I need to know what's your timezone. Because I'll need to come back later after I harvest my husband's town again.I've found your FC earlier in the page, so you're added already.
Yes he will. When Olaf moved to my town he had a custom made shirt and told me who designed it and where it was from. He even remembers his old town's tune and whistles it to me every once in a while.

Haha. I kinda wanna make all my frog villagers have pet frogs, so it looks funny. Is that weird?

Perfect peaches Retail still available? And peach isn't native fruit?

I gave Flurry a hamster cage :/ it was funny until she commented on how she didn't know how to feel about keeping them in captivity
I think we're just cruel. D:
That's cool. I figured that since you can't give people furniture customized with a pattern that villagers wouldn't keep custom shirts when they move. I guess Barold won't be keeping it for too long though.

Eugene is weird.
One day he complained about letting a blue marlin get away and asked me for one, even though he had one in his house. So I got him another one.
Days later, he complains about the blue marlin being boring and wants something to replace it.
It's also funny when a villager gets a lava lamp and turns off their lights.

There's a whole layer of metaphor sitting on this caged hamster situation... WHY WON'T YOU LET FLURRY LEAVE, ARE YOU SOME KIND OF MONSTER?
Yep, native pears. I'll add you both and open up in a minute. FC is in my profile.

Haha! I don't usually leave it 24/7 but you have access to me whenever I'm on. I'll gladly open.
And oh man... I hope so. I love how he looks in it!

Are you still accepting visitors?
Edit: How terminal or dangerous is it to start a second player. I've decided I need an alt, and have a very specific spot where I want his house. How easy is that to determine? I have completely forgotten the beginning of the game in that respect...
And how will it effect my ability to do the reset trick to move neighbours?
ZekeThePlumber

You can choose your house location in the beginning sequence with Nook in the same way you choose PWP locations with Isabelle. The only stipulation with the reset trick is that you'll have to create another alt to delete should you want to try moving around house plots when neighbors move in assuming you're keeping a permanent alt.
Downsides of having an alt. Your villagers will talk about your shit house. If you leave it abandoned long enough (without Beautiful Town on), you'll have cockroaches. If you destroy your alt's house, it'll leave behind a huge spot of instant grass wear.
Upsides of an alt. You got more carrying space. IE turnips or perfect fruit runs. Keep in mind your alt has to drop the money for your main to deposit though... pain in the ass that is still. Your alt's house works double the space for all the furniture sets you want to keep. IE those unorderable sets (bug furniture, katie items, Gracie's etc etc). Your alt's house also works as a large spot to prevent villagers from moving onto or to close near it. IE you want to protect that burg for the lighthouse but you don't have the PWP yet? Put it there so you can place the lighthouse after you demolish your alt's house conveniently. Your alt's house can work as a bulldozer for any pwp too except the exceptions of course (station, cafe, etc).
Nintendo Holland is organising some sort of community event at their HQ for New Leaf. Think I'll try to go there, if alone for the sake of filling that HHA showcase a little. There a bit vague about what they're gonna do exactly though. Oh well, it's also a good oppurtunity to see their local HQ.
