I've never gotten Gracie to give me one of her actual designs in GC. The pen trick doesn't work for me! Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but never ever ever in my six years of GC has she given me a rare shirt!

Can anyone else empatheize with me?

Have you tried it with a spoon? :U

I haven't ever gotten one either.
It's so annoying. I hate her. >:1

Nope, never a spoon! *skulks off to try it with a spoon on alternate file*

I don't hate her, I just wish she'd give up one of those awhsum shirts! The only time I ever get one is if a villager wearing one moves in, I'm asked to deliver a shirt to them, and when they change they give me their old shirt as a present.

Nibbles and Ozzie have both done that before.

I know!

I've tried the pen trick every time, and I get FIERCE with it, and it still never works. I think Gracie wants our hands to move so quickly the movements actually become light energy, then a-splode. o_o;

Agreed! ^

When I do it, my hand is KILLING, because I am going so fast and when I look at the screen my character's arm is going LIGHTSPEED and then she's like, "Hmm, a so-so job!"

I've never met her expectations either.

She gave my sister a shirt ontime for going fast enough. It was like a miracle...then she sold the shirt RIGHT after Gracie gave it too her. /)_o

Every single time I've gotten her shirt. Yay for hand coordination! :D

I think I have gotten it once.

I get one every time she comes.

I just use my thumb, I dunno I guess I'm just a good button-presser. lol

What's the pen trick?

I can't do it. I can't do it...

I can't do it. o_o If I use my thumb, I might break it, but I'll try if I can.

It's really frustating for me. I tried so many times, it won't work. T_T

I feel your pain in my fingers. ;-;

Use a turbo controller and hold the a button

Simple, Easy, Won't break fingers

For me, my index finger seems faster than my thumb, so that's what I use. I get it about 90-95% of the time.

In the past, I have found it easier to use my thumb rather than the turbo button.

Back then, I didn't know about these "pen/spoon tricks" so I practiced. (Thanks to Mario Party)

Those games from the original Mario Party were horrible to your thumb and fingers, but it was good training.

My index finger is a whole lot slower than my thumb.

I got the shirt circuit once! Too bad it's the ugliest Gracie shirt there is!

It's not too bad!

The coolest is the swell shirt.

Anyone have a video if it?  I've never seen Gracie in my town.  D:

Yeah, I do. The part with Grace starts at about the 2:05 mark: A Day in the Forest

^Hahah. Yes, that video.

I have gotten Gracie a few times - I need to train my index finger to go on turbo drive  - so I can get a Gracie-only shirt.

My sister's lucky - her index finger can go onto turbo drive.

So, I guess I oughta start playing Mario Party to train my index finger....
