We're going semi-official on this
However, under moderator jurisdiction this thread may be temporarily stickied
I would appreciate that
And I decided that since the old thread was for last year's challenge that a new one was needed for this challenge.

ATTENTION NEWCOMERS-IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST PLEASE PM/VM ME YOUR TOWN & MAYOR NAME. SAME GOES FOR IF YOUR BLOG IS NOT LISTED. I DO MY BEST TO KEEP UP WITH THIS THREAD BUT I AM ONLY ONE PERSON AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO'S ABLE TO EDIT THE FRONT PAGE. THE CUT-OFF JOIN DATE IS JANUARY 7TH. I mean, you can still play with us after that date but you won't be added to the playerlist. This is for my own sanity and to keep the "challenge" aspect. THANK YOU <3
Well here we are everyone! It's the start of a new year and more importantly the start of the 1/1 Challenge!
Anyone can participate, and many have already planned to.
If you're not taking the plunge this year, you're still free to lurk & post here. We hope to create a happy little community of sorts and to inspire players to pick up the game again.
Want yourself added to the playerlist? Comment below with your town & mayor name!
Want to be added to our IM group? We're hosted on the far-better-than-skype browser & app based program, Discord! Send me a PM & I'll give you the invite link :) No registration needed (though it's recommended eventually)

1.1 Rules
These rules are mainly the same as the rules from last year's thread, with a few minor differences

-You must start your game on January First

This one is quite an obvious rule. Again, you may reset as much as you like for your town map.

-Don't transfer anything
You may still trade with others from the forum however
The only exception to this rule is Axes. You MAY transfer axes.

-Don't time travel

Again, the most important rule. Take the game one day at a time

-You MAY plot reset

This is a change from the original but I see it as acceptable. You do not have to do it if you don't want to, but if you do by all means go ahead!
2.2 Community Focus
The focus of the 1/1 challenge is not only to inspire people to pick up the game again, but to build a small little community of people and to watch our towns grow! This was also the message of last year's "host" of the challenge, Toeto.
To keep ourselves motivated and to truly be able to love the game again, especially with those who have reset endlessly, always unsatisfied with what they roll.
This is a place to make the game more fun and to help bring players together.

3.3 Helpful Links/Images

Guide to Rocks, you can have a minimum of four if you're lucky!

It's great to see this thread up and running!

Congratulations, Kit, it looks wonderful - very well-organized.

I'm looking forward to the challenge, and hope that many others will be joining us - it'll be nice to build a Challenge community together.

*heavy breathing*

Can't wait to begin this adventure with you all! It's been a long time since I've played within a niche AC community. :)
 
Hey, could I do this with another copy? I still love my old copy but... I have 3 copies and wanna do this.
 
oh lord i haven't played acnl in months, this might be a good idea for me to get back into it. i've been meaning to reset anyway :p
 
I put you on the list Starry :)
How do you lose a copy I keep all mine in a little case thing & treat them better than like diamonds or something

Have you seen my room Jesus Christ
I never clean it lol
 
Put me on the list.

Mayor Khaelis of Karakusa. :)

I have a 2nd town. Mayor Xavier of Pineside. Its a month old. I'm not going to restart because I did some progress on it.

But GL to everyone who's doing it.
 
Hmm. I might consider participating last minute and reset my third town, Rosedawn.
However there are a bunch of items I'd like to save and transfer to my other towns. I WILL NOT be giving Rosedawn back those items when I reset, is this okay?
