The ACNL Diaries: The 1 Year Challenge

[papyrus]

Hello everyone, the New Year is coming up, usually at this time many challenges are introduced to the ACNL
Community and many friendships are formed!

I wanted to think of a Challenge that people can take part of as a Community. I call it...The ACNL Diaries: The 1 Year Challenge! (still undecided lol)

The Rules of this Challenge: In a nutshell, basically playing this game with no hand in any of the outcomes, and allowing RNG to decide absolutely everything.

This includes:
NO Map Resetting, you start your game, pick a map you like from Rover and then it's yours...for a whole Year! I think the concept of letting the game choose your own Animals can sometimes be more meaningful.

No Plot Resetting.

No Trading with other users.

No Time Travelling

When a Villager asks to leave...you have to let them go: This one is definitely very challenging. I feel like a lot of players (including myself) will keep a Town with the same Villagers and grow attached/fond of them. But wouldn't it be nice to have variety, meet loads of new friends you otherwise wouldn't have met?

In addition, I would love for everyone to post updates/diaries (weekly or monthly depending on your schedules) with screenshots and stories of the happenings in your town. I think this really encourages discussion, and it's interesting viewing what is happening in other peoples Towns, and seeing how they are progressing.

This is just a thought, but I wanted to hear peoples opinions, would you be interested in a challenge like this?

I like all of these rules! I attempted the challenge for 2016 and failed miserably, but I'm going to try again this year. I like all of your rules but one other thing I think is important to note is to not sell your previous town (if resetting a town to start this challenge). I think we should start completely from scratch, and having money, catalog items, and public works projects leftover from the previous town. Also, no moving in villagers from amiibo cards. I have 5 from cards in my town, and none of them have ever asked to move. If we want to keep villagers constantly moving in and out, that could keep all of the villagers constant. I think it's OK to scan villagers to order items, but not to invite them to live in town.

This is really true and an important note, I'll update the OP soon ^_^
