Animal Crossing: New Leaf Nuzlocke challenge!

[kittenrobotarmy]

I said it, and it happened. There's been a Nuzlocke formed outta ACNL. My rules are as follows:

1. You must set one of your villagers catchphrases to cough. They have the plague. If all your villagers start saying cough, you must reset your town.
2. If a villager asks to move, you have to let them.
3. You can time travel, but not to get villagers out.
4. You may not reset for maps or villagers.
5. No glitching. You can accept glitched items though.
6. Beetle farming is not allowed, you may only use fruit/shells/Stalk Market/selling random stuff.
7. You can ONLY use your town fruit, your Island fruit and the fruit from Isabelle.

You can take off up to 3 of these rules to make it easier. You can also add rules.
Once Static has been given to PlasticPinkPiggy, I will reset and begin the Nuzlocke.

Before you reset, do you have any hybrids?

Also, sounds like an interesting idea. I have always wanted to try a nuzlock on a pokemon game.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

A pink rose, that's all.

This is such a fantastic idea. I'm doing this on my secondary copy as soon as I trade people their villagers and get Agent S in my other town. I love Nuzlockes, and I support this thread SO MUCH.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I only take credit for saying the idea and most of the rules. Umbre told me the first two rules and other people probably thought of it, just not make a thread.

 

[ACking]

This is awesome. Ill stick with it.

 

[Scribbler397]

I am not participating in the nuzlock, but I will change one of my villagers' catchphrases to cough. I won't reset after they all say it, I just want to see how long it takes them all to catch the plague.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

That's cool, Scrib. Tell us when all villagers catch it.

Post your progress here, guys. Also, you can set your own rules for PWPs and stuff like that.

I really like this nuzlocke challenge. I've never participated in one before, but I don't plan on. Good luck to anyone who does. This sounds fun, risky and challenging.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Exactly. Even AC can be turned into a hardcore game. Fans of Pokemon Nuzlockes would enjoy it.

It can also teach you to love different villagers since you might have to switch very often if the plague spreads quickly.

... I was still thinking Pokemon when I saw the thread title.
Now if only I had a second copy of the game. D:

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Keep saving, Fudgenuggets. You'll eventually have enough to buy a physical version.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Bump!

 

[Midgetsc]

My second copy came in the mail, and I know what I'm doing.

What if the villager who had cough as a catchphrase decides to get a different one from someone? Also, do we have to do something special to plague villagers, like hammer them a million times or something? Or avoid them?

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Hardly talk to plague villagers so they have low chances of moving out.

 

[Toraneko]

Ohhhh. Nuzlockes are too hardcore for me but this might be interesting. I don't really want to reset my town or buy a second game though so I'll just watch...

 

[radical6]

kinda thinking about resetting my pokemon game and trying a nuzlocke u_u
but ah your idea is pretty cool. heard the first one on tumblr, because it was a post flying around
im too scared to reset my town though because of a nuzlocke ):

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Pokemon Nuzlockes are a great place to start. Do one while you wait for X and Y. It will make the wait a little more bearable.

Static is being stubborn and won't move out so I can start the Nuzlocke. Ugh.

 

[Beary]

OMIGOD.
TOTALLY DOING THIS <3

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I thought I'd give this a little bump. I, as of now, am not doing a Nuzlocke but I am actually doing a challenge with a one year, no time traveling (oh no for me) and I have to fill the encyclopedia, house, museum, etc. as much as possible.

But if anyone would like to try this out, just post!
