[AnnaThePolarBear]

Spoiler: stuff about my town and such

Native fruit: Apples
Starting Villagers: Chester, Sally, Violet, Flip, and Merry
Snow Pattern: Star
Train Station & Town Hall: Blue and Green, respectively

Since I was doing the other version of the challenge before I ended up planting the tree on the 1st but I'll be playing until either the 20th or the 21st of next year.. or maybe even longer if I end up loving my town. I'm also going to be tt'ing to catch up to the actual date after my friend drops off a few items I didn't want to lose when I reset like fruit and my 2 club tortimer items.

To be honest that was one of the reasons I chose this map lol.
The loner villager is Sally who I have in my main town so when she pings me she'll be leaving

Keeping a town is a challenge? I still have the one I picked the day after the release date... xD

I've had my main town since June 11 2013 which was when my pre-order arrived in the mail. But the point of the challenge is to start fresh and share your progress with other players as a way to become involved with the community.

Spoiler: days 2 - 5

Spoiler: day 2 in Forest

Crazy Redd decided to set up show in Forest. I ended up buying a perfect painting since it was the only real piece of artwork there.

Vladimir decided to move in. He placed his house right under the lower pond, not a terrible place for him to put his house but it does make getting to Re-Tail a bit awkward. I'll probably move him and Sally out as soon as I can since I have them in my main town.

Merry decided that she wanted to see my house, and then afterwards I was invited to Flips house.

Spoiler: day 3 in Forest

Katrina set up shop in Forest.. and apparently shorts are the key to narrowly avoiding impending disaster lol

I went to go say hi to Vladimir also.

Another thing that happened was I managed to complete my 100% approval rate!

Phineas also showed up to introduce himself and give me the seafood maniac badge or better known as my first badge.

And then finally I got to meet Lyle. I also paid off my home loan and told Nook that my house needed to be bigger since I forgot to do that "yesterday"

Spoiler: day 4 in Forest

Got to meet Tortimer today and he told me that Kapp'n will be making stops to Forest starting tomorrow. I've decided not to use the island until after I've caught up to the current date though, so this news wasn't too exciting for me.

Isabelle also told me that could start improving Forest today and I of course decided to make the campsite my first pwp. I thought about where I wanted to put it for a little while before eventually settling on putting it in the top right-hand corner of my map. It lines up perfectly with pretty much everything if I ever decide that I want to use paths too, so that's an added bonus.

Hazel also decided to move into Forest. I don't have a picture of her plot since I forgot to take one but her house is in a pretty decided place just a few tiles or so from Vladimir's house.

Spoiler: day 5 in Forest

The first thing I did was go and greet Hazel. I don't really see why most people hate her, I mean her unibrow is mildly distracting but it kind of fits her I guess?

I also met Kapp'n and then proceeded to completely ignore him. I'm kinda curious on what island fruits I've got but I guess I'll have to wait until I'm done tt'ing to see.

The last thing that happened was that I finally paid off the campsite. It took a little bit and a lot of time spent fishing but oh well. I'm also attempting to plan out my town a bit and so far I've decided that I want perfect apple tree's everywhere and well... that's pretty much it to be honest lol.

Here's some extremely awkward and mildly rushed updates.
As you can probably see I've managed to play through the first 5 days of the challenge and I'll play through some more days when I wake up since I'm ready to pass out lol.
I'll probably end up being fully caught up in about a day or two depending on how much time I'll have to TT through the days and such.. Then when I'm on the current day I'll use that as the date that I'll play until.

short update because I'm back in university which means that I'll only get a few hours of playtime Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

But here is what I got for today:

Spoiler: a day in hell

so I accidentally sold my gold shovel, but since I've been using the silver shovel I've been getting gems from the money rock every day

still no luck with the turnips, they appear to be decreasing. hopefully tomorrow will be better

don't really care for this suggestion but it's something :/

learned my second emotion: surprise

shampoodle is finally being built B)

got my second mannequin!

not pictured: two of the trees and one of the bushes I planted yesterday died :/ don't know what happened, one of the bushes was in a row of 8 bushes. and the other two trees weren't connected to anything

 

[Wataru]

Oh! I was eager to do something like that since i'm restarting, and the other thread had rules i did not want to follow (I'll be keeping my items and villagers). Can i join this one instead ?

Native Fruit: Pears
Current Villagers: Bella, Skye, Julian, Wendy, Bettina, Zucker, Marshal, Peewee, Genji and Blanche

I can post my town map later on! My town is a bit barren right now as I chopped down most of my trees to landscape, but I haven't landscaped anything yet ;w; but I reset for this map for 6-8 hours so I'm planning on keeping it...FOREEEEVEEEER xD I'm really excited to try and keep this town for 1 year!

I'll see if it does by adding my info for the masterlist in the other OYC and remove it.

And why not add the spreadsheet in your sig?

Ok, it worked. I wish we could do that on the other OYC thread.

 

[lazuli]

im afraid itll go over character limit haha. all that colour and link stuff takes more characters.

Yeah, I remember fixing my signature up with extras filled up the character limit. I had to get rid of everything except the colors which is now.

 

[pocky]

I'll be editing my first post on this thread to add a link to the masterlist
I also wanted to make one for turnip prices so people can update it whenever they have a spike
