'keep your town for 365.25 days' challenge v.2.0

Oh man, haven't been able to really play for a while...just been checking in to make sure no one I like is moving ;w;
 
Everything I do, I plan on trying to do without the help of others.
Mostly, because I hate typing on the 3ds, lol.
But yes. I plan on it! :D
Hopefully, I will prevail.
 
He is so cute! The mice deserve more love, tbh. Speaking of cheese mice though... did you know that cheese give off odors that are repulsive to mice? I wonder where the "mice love cheese" myth came from :confused:

I pre-ordered the New Leaf 3DS XL but I did so online and even with fast shipping it didn't arrive until the 11th. All of my friends were already playing and I just wanted to get started. Can't really remember when I realized my river choice was a bad one, but by then it had been too late. The only good thing that came out of it was that less space meant I had to worry less about what to do with my town :( I do with that I could reset it sometimes, but... I put so much time into it.

Poor Chaddar! He's never gonna find himself a nice mousefriend. And he's smug, to make matters worse! (probably hits on everyone to overcompensate being turned down because of his weird cheesy odours.)

Awh, that 2 day wait must have been stressful. :p I'm in the UK so wasn't expecting my XL until the 14th, but managed to get a physical copy on the 12th. So I used that to experiment while I waited for friends here to get their copies.
And don't delete your first town, I guarantee you'll miss it and want it back later. By all means start maining another town and move things over, but you'll want to go back to your first sometime. ~ I can only dream of mine. :c

Oh, and thank you, Jinglefruit, for offering to give me some peaches, but I have this little goal, where I get all the fruit in game, without any help, except from off of the island tours and whatnot, of course.

:p Ok, Cool little aim there. Good luck with persimmons!! :p

you should add some sub challenges, like obtaining all of the golden tools
1 of each hybrid
full house
etc

all without the help of other players (money-wise)

I actually have a few odd aims I want to hit;
Complete the museum and get all bugs/fish/spongebobs friends as I never managed this - as my 1st town corrupt with like ~1/5/3 left in each and I didn't care enough to do it all again in my 2nd town. (I'd do all gold tools, but I pilfered my gold can/axe/shovel when I started because lazy.)
I'm aiming to not buy / recieve any villagers from others and only aquire them myself, and have no dreamies. I'm debating adding a must tell every villager to leave rule (or maybe must let them go if they ask twice?) Am not sure on this though.
For the start atleast, I'm not going to trade furniture (or use HHA or catalog) and just see how my house goes. This'll change when my house is near completion though so I can go for the Gold exteriors.
I want every free space in town to have a flower by the end of the year. Think this'll be easy with beautiful ordinance and that I put 2 of each flower in town on day 1. And I water the ones that I have the least of only and am letting them grow naturally until I have enough to start gardening.
Oh. and I planted some bamboo on day 1 and I want to see how far it grows. xD

My villagers love this patch of *purple* pansies so much that they have caused more orange pansies to spawn there than at the orange pansy site.
 
Hey, I just signed up on the doc! I recently got back into New Leaf and reset my town last night, so I think I'll enjoy this challenge!

I think I might reset my town and do the challenge, mainly because there are certain things in my town I'm not satisfied of.

For example, When I was trying to plot Gladys, I thought by seeing her house on the title screen, that's where she would be, so I started as my mayor, and she was somewhere I was uncomfortable with.

There's also Mira's placement of her house which causes my path from around her house to the bridge to become unaligned too.

So, should I reset? I only had my town for roughly four months, plus I'm getting the New 3DS XL on launch.

I'd say if your only issues with your town are house placements of villagers it's not worth resetting over. Villagers come and go, it's the permanent fixtures that are worth resetting for.
If this is your first Animal Crossing game, then you probably haven't experienced losing a town or resetting one you'd played for a while before. You don't realise how attached you were to it, and how many annoying things you have to wait to unlock until you've lost them.


Surprisingly, one time, on the third day a villager had given me one, for delivering a gift for them.
Though, it doesn't do me much good now
x)

That was lucky, I got Bamboo within about a month on my first town which I was pretty stoked with.
And today I got given my first apple for completing a task for Astrid, then I spoke to Renee and she asked, "Hey, do you know anywhere that you could get me an apple?" =.=; Fine!

I'd say it all boils down to how you feel about the plot placement. Personally I'd just work with it, but if you feel like its ruining your enjoyment/interest in your town then it might be a good idea to reset.
 
Since I didn't feel very welcome in the original OYC thread, I hope maybe I'll be welcomed here, even though I started in November.
 
Thank you :)

I haven't been really keeping a blog or anything, though I've been posting my daily stuff in Animal Crossing Community.


This morning when I played, I was greeted with a random letter from Hugh asking me for the answer to a crossword puzzle "a 9 letter word for a word puzzle" or something like that. The answer was very OBVIOUSLY "crossword" and he even USED that word in his letter. I wrote him back saying the answer is OBVIOUSLY "crossword" and I called him a dummy.

I went to my house to change clothes to my folk shirt that Skye gave me and Keaton randomly walked in my house.

This is his first time seeing my house and I've always wanted him to come visit! :D

Someone new was in my campsite and I checked it out and it was Boomer. He looks incredibly boring, IMO and besides, my town is currently full.

I also discovered a new orange lily and a new Jacob's ladder. :)
 
Lol, Hugh seems like a dork.
Boomer does have a pretty banging house, though.
I've never kept the towns he was in long enough, to comment
on whether he's actually interesting or not.
I think I've only ever managed to get a pink and a black lily.
 
I've only gotten orange and pink lillies. I find lillies incredibly difficult to breed for some reason. I think that I had better luck getting blue roses than pink lillies! Grats on the Jacob's Ladder, btw. I still havent gotten perfect town in Hell. Got a lot of flowers, but not enough trees. Will landscape some more once I get my 10th villager.

Speaking of which. I'm officially out of the other OYC because I've been plot resetting. I also TT'd a bit to get some villagers out, but Im doing it in such a way that I'll unlock the shops at the same speed as everyone else (holding off on buying stuff) I just really wanna get some landscaping done because its what I enjoy most about the game, but I can't do that when unwanted villagers are around.

Flip came to visit my home but ended up leaving really quickly.

I also got my second mannequin from Labelle

Ricky was staying in my campsite today. Other then that nothing else actually happened today...

I went to say my final goodbye to Hazel.. I know she's basically just a bunch of pixels and programming but I still feel a bit bad for never actually talking to her lol.

Chester also invited me over today and I bought his retro stereo.

Twiggy was also in my campground today. I've already had her in my old town before and I've decided that I want all new villagers so I didn't end up inviting her to stay even though she wouldn't stop asking me about living here.

I also got either my fourth or fifth badge, aka the Village Repersentative badge.
Nothing. Nothing at all.

Knox decided to move into Forest. I've never had him before and actually I don't think I've ever seen him in game before so he'll probably stay for a bit. He ended up putting his house in a kind of eh place though.. it's not too terrible since I don't walk there often but at the same time it's a little too close to a ramp for comfort... I dunno, maybe I'll feel different when I actually am able to see his house.

Sally also finally told me that she's decided to move which is great because I want to move in either Skye or Freya a little bit behind her house when I get one of them in my campsite or something.

It was also Stitches birthday today! I got lucky and the gift I gave him ended up being something he really liked. Also Teddy was there, which surprised me a bit but ended up making me laugh because I saw someone on Tumblr post about Teddy being at Stitches birthday party in their town.

I went to meet Knox today and I realized his house being so close to the ramp isn't as awkward as I thought it'd be and the only way it really blocks something is if you're in the event plaza and trying to walk straight through to the beach.
...And I'm finally able to write out an update, yay!!
For some reason the internet on my laptop's been all weird.. it seems to be working fine now though, so whatever.
Anyways, here's days 6 through 11 in Forest... though you probably already know that lol :P
