Isabelle, the "real" mayor?

[katysu]

I need some sort of challenge in a game - if it was all easy then I think I would stop playing.
I like/still want to play acnl; as there isn't too much challenge (unless I try puzzle league, not mastered yet), so its a relaxing game to play - but there is some friction, something to push against.

Location of PWP's - its an interesting one as if you move just a smidgin - a one spot move can change Isabelle's no to a yes. I'm surprised sometimes, I move what feels like a pixel and her answer changes. It's worth playing around with it, by moving away so Isabelle follows you and then move back in or push her slightly.

I sort of like the friction of having to plot reset/pattern areas or trust to luck where a villager moves in to.
If we had complete control, you may think we would be happy, I think we wouldn't be. It would be too easy, we would lose interest.
The Mayor of a town is a public servant - and yes Isabelle is a cute (to me) power behind the chair. See her little smirky smile as you leave the town hall.

This is a thread to discuss the fact that some players feel Isabelle has more mayoral power than the player, not a thread to complain about Isabelle. If you want to continue the discussion, please drop the snide comments and remarks towards the character and other members that have nothing to do with the original topic of the thread. Thanks.

Oh, definitely. Isabelle does everything, if you think about it.

You point to a spot and say 'windmill here, please.' Isabelle jots it down and makes all the necessary preparations for its construction within a single day, perhaps sending out letters to the villagers to inform them a celebration will be taking place at the designated spot the morning thereafter. As soon as the ceremony begins, she passes out specially purchased party poppers and even gives her own little speech in the event of your absence.

Not to mention the maintenance of several public works projects, applying for permits, so on and so forth... while we're able to spend entire days on the island unannounced, coming back to a perfectly clean and tidy office whenever the mood strikes.

Isabelle is a queen, indeed.

I actually completely forgot about the ceremonies for every PWP! Those are cute... though sometimes unnecessary for the fourth streetlamp in a row
But she looks so sad when u won’t attend... I will be ready for mandatory PWP celebrations once isabelle usurps the mayoral throne
