The one year challenge

Did you decide to keep the new town, or did you carry on map resetting? :)
I kept it. Here are the pictures: (The map isn't that clear but oh well)

First up, the ceremony and map pic:

Thank you ^_^ Maybe Compton and Taciturn can be twinned towns in the future, haha. Once Isabelle gets her butt back in Town Hall tomorrow and I can actually do some stuff, you'd be more than welcome to come over any time in the future :)
Thanks, I think I'll take you up on that :) Not much to do today other than pay off my debt so I can unlock Tortimer Island tomorrow.
 
Hey, since we can't plot reset, I can make 4 characters right off the bat!

I just remembered this challenge was a thing and reset my town on a whim so I could join in.
I found the closest thing to perfection pretty quickly.

Mayor Name: Melissa
Town Name: Propolis
[+] Central Town Square, star snow, cherries, out of the way rocks, one pond, secret beach, nice little nooks up top for the Campsite
[-] Red Train Station, Town Hall and Re-Tail locations are poop

Starters: Leonardo, Gabi, Kabuki, Tipper, Stitches
The last three are alright by me.
 
I don't like my new game as much as I thought I would. I'm thinking of just using my older town ( I think I made it sometime in December anyways ).
 
My new town is lovely, while it has apples like my main, I still don't mind it does!

I'll post my planting picture tomorrow but my starting villagers are Friga, Sly, Apollo, Merengue and Cube!

I am now Mayor Honey of Florence :)

I found a lovely new town! I'll post the details and some pics in a bit.

Congrats on your new towns everyone! Happy new year <3

Mayor Honey, that is so very cute! Good luck with the new town!
 
I wonder what villager i'm gonna get tomorrow, so many possibilities.
 
I just started a town on my second copy :3

Mayor Sarah of B-612. My residents are Punchy, Rasher, Flip, Marcie and Gabi. I've never had any of these villagers in ACNL! My town fruit is cherries (YAY). I'm not sure I can keep up with 2 towns, but it will be fun to try.
 
Welcome! It sounds like this challenge is just what you need to help you enjoy the game all over again! I hope you find a fab new town, how are you getting on so far?
Thanks! You have a nice map, by the way. At first I too choosed one of the first four that Rover suggested, but gave it up after an hour of playing. Then I spent the rest of the day map resetting (was not worth it, though). Good on you for being able to stick with what you decided. It looks good! :-)

I'm not sure if this is ultimately what I want, but this is the map that I ended up with.

(Ah I see, of course I have problems with my pics again. I'm sorry it's so large and turned upside down...)

My new town is named Ea after my first NL town. I was just too tired to try and come up with something better.

The river is one of the six types that I was going for but isn't the best out of them. I think I would have liked it more if it made a curve to the right at the bridge (which would make it west facing). That would have been very nice. I like it how the buildings are scattered throughout the town. It's nice to have the Re-tail and Town Hall near the Train Station so they don't take up that much space.

The starting villagers of Ea are Clyde, Margie, Croque, Tiffany and Pate. I'm not too fond of them but it's okay! I have decided to give everyone a chance and get to know them. I want to get to know new villagers so I'm not going to start looking for my current favourite villagers in the near future. Maybe I'll find new favourites this way. I'm very interested in Lobo and Wolfgang, though, so I might buy one of them online if only I can afford that.

My native fruit is pear but I'm really tired of seeing pears. It would be lovely if any of you wanted to trade some of their fruit for pears. Just let me know please!:blush:

So, for me, everything is looking decent so far. I hope all of you are happy with your new towns. We have some nice maps in this thread and surely you people can make it work with them!

Oh that reminds me! I have oranges to trade for other fruits if you want. Any fruit will do, but Apples will make me so giddy and happy!

Ahh I wish I could trade you apples. :/ Unfortunately I have only pears at the moment, but if you accept them, it'd be nice to trade!
 
I wish I could join in the fun of this challenge, but I'm really attached to my town at the moment.

Best wishes to everyone starting this challenge! c:
 
Didn't see this topic until today, but I decided to give it a shot, since I had a second copy of the game just sitting around.

This is my town layout:

I love that Fauna is one of my starting villagers and was there to greet me at the train station. <3 She's in my other town too.

And may I introduce, Mayor Cocao of the town of Lindor~
HNI_0065.JPG

Since I started so late, I was only able to sell some fruit and seashells at retail. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to start paying of my down payment. Until then~ ^-^

Edit:Forgot to mention the other stuff lol
Town fruit is apples, which I'm very happy about.
Hexagon snow
Looks like a green roof on my town hall and a red roof on my train station.
Didn't care much about the last three, but eh, I figured other people might want to know. :)

Morning guys! Here's to a busy day two in our new towns :D I'm so excited to see who might be moving in! I've got a few chores to do first though, so will update with Taciturn's Day 2 news later. I did spend a bit of time last night coming up with some flag designs, I'll post them later too. Now the New Years Day celebrations are over in NL, we can start thinking about flags and town tunes and stuff! Anyone got any ideas for theirs?

Quick catch up to the recent posts:

I kept it. Here are the pictures: (The map isn't that clear but oh well):

Thank you for showing us your new town, and for the brill pics! I like your map a lot, everything sounds great, and imo you totally lucked out with your starters! Bianca, Rolf, Cole and Teddy are awesome. You also chose my favourite face type, so kudos haha. I hope you're happy with your town and you have a great year in Termina! Looking forward to see how it grows :) Did you end up making three other alts? I think I'll make one or two so I can get plenty of pattern space.

I just remembered this challenge was a thing and reset my town on a whim so I could join in.

Welcome! Your map is so great, glad you didn't have to reset for very long! I have to say, I LOVE your town and mayor name and how they're linked, it's so clever (I'm a big mythology geek and enjoyed the links you posted!). Are you going to theme your town in any way? ^_^

My new town is lovely, while it has apples like my main, I still don't mind it does!

I'll post my planting picture tomorrow but my starting villagers are Friga, Sly, Apollo, Merengue and Cube!

Yey another new town! It sounds lovely, very pretty town and mayor names! And boy did you get lucky with your starters (seriously I think TOYC has been blessed somehow, lol), all of them are truly fab, especially Cube and Sly - and I got Sly as a starter too!. Looking forward to seeing your planting pic when you post it, and here's to a great year in Florence ^_^

I found a lovely new town! I'll post the details and some pics in a bit.

Congrats on your new towns everyone! Happy new year <3

Happy New Year and town to you! Looking forward to seeing the pics of your new town, glad to hear you've found a great one ^_^

Hazel is moving into my town! I actually like her, I can't wait to see her. <3

I love her too, she's so cute and sassy! I think it's impossible for any squirrel villager not to be adorable tbh. Have fun with Hazel! Can't wait to see who I get today :D

I just started a town on my second copy :3

Mayor Sarah of B-612. My residents are Punchy, Rasher, Flip, Marcie and Gabi. I've never had any of these villagers in ACNL! My town fruit is cherries (YAY). I'm not sure I can keep up with 2 towns, but it will be fun to try.

Congrats on your new town! I love the name, it's brilliant! Are you doing a space or science-themed town? Your new villagers sounds great, I also hope to get villagers I've never had before, no matter who they are, I just want to see some new faces! Last year I tried and failed to run two towns, as I adore my main town and didn't want to spend any less time over there, so my second town imploded basically, lol. My I figure with the 'rules' of TOYC, I can relax and play my second town at my own speed, and not be tempted to spend ten hours a day TTing and forcing it to be perfect right away. It's an experiment any way, hopefully we'll all manage it and enjoy being Double Mayors! ^_^

Thank you very much, I was relieved I got a decent one in the first four, as that was sort of a goal of mine (plus I'm too lazy to keep resetting lol). The map you chose is great too, the river is very neat and leaves plenty of room for landscaping and PWPs, and you're right about Re-Tail and Town Hall being out of the way. Taciturn's Re-Tail is also right at the very top edge of the map, and I kind of like it there by the train station, that's sort of where I'd imagine a 'real' shop to be located! I hope you enjoy getting to know your villagers, and get some move-ins that you like. I can't wait to see who I get today, lol. I also have pears as my native fruit, but I should be picking up others kinds today, and I'd be happy to share if you still need fruits :)

I wish I could join in the fun of this challenge, but I'm really attached to my town at the moment.

Best wishes to everyone starting this challenge! c:

Thank you very much! And I know how you feel, I wouldn't reset my main town for anything. Thanks for your support, hopefully all these new towns will have a great 2015 and we'll be celebrating their anniversary this time next year :D

Congrats on your new town, and what a map! Your river is almost identical to Taciturn's (river twins, woo!), but your town hall and plaza placement are literal perfection, I would LOVE to have the plaza below town hall like yours are. That'll look amazing when it's developed and landscaped! Good luck with Lindor (love the choc references also)!
