The one year challenge

[Punchyleaf]

Punchy has been sick lately :c other than that. Not much going on except stupid bonbon won't mvoe

 

[Hazel]

After the ceremony for the police station Clay suggested the sandbox PWP. I checked the town rating and it turns out I've a perfect town! I haven't a clue how I managed that cause my town is kinda unorganised atm but I unlocked the PWPs and payed off the flower clock PWP which I built outside the cafe. I think I'll remodel the town hall into the zen style tomorrow. Oh and Lyle came to talk to me about HHA themes, I picked Fairy Tale but I don't know if I'll bother actually going for it.

Nice to see this is still going I'm still playing my one year town, just haven't updated on here because I ended up plot resetting A LOT

Mostly just working on my catalog now. I had also TT'd, but I felt guilty about it so in the end I just didn't play for the one real life week I had TT'd for. So I guess now my game is the same as if I hadn't TT'd at all.

I really do miss updating here and wish I hadn't done those things so that I could still participate. But oh well At least I'm having fun reading about your towns

I started over on my game a few days ago and I've been considering joining this challenge. It feels a little weird since it's May and all, but I think it would be good for my Animal Crossing spirit. When I TT I tend to lose the spark real quick. It makes me sad because AC is such a fun and relaxing way to spend time /sigh. I started a new job on Monday and it's been rough on me, but playing my town has done wonders.

I've also read this entire thread, and it's really fun to pay attention to the others' progress ;; So uh, yeah! I guess I'm joining! Mayor is Aki, and the town is Noctos ~ Join date was the third!

Also, congrats on the perfect town status, Hazel!

Julian just moved in.... I will be making my fairy land theme at his corner soon *cries tears of joy*... baabara is moving out though... not a dreamie but still.. I'm a lil sad since she is a cutie.

 

[noctos]

Pietro moved in today! I've always liked him (maybe because we share the same birthday?) and he chose a nice spot! I'm not plot resetting, so that was a nice surprise. I'm honestly a little worried about my hybrids, though... It's only day five but I already have a handful, and I'd hate for them to get crushed by a new villager's house...

I'm a little conflicted about Claudia and Margie, too. I love Margie to bits, but she lives right in front of the town hall and it's just super inconvenient ;; Claudia's spot isn't as awful, but there's something unsettling about it anyway. I don't want to let them go but I think I'll have to eventually. Hmmm...

Oh, and I got the island a couple of days ago! I'm really pleased with how quickly I got it compared to last time. I've already donated the bugs to the museum (my wallet is screaming for the bells SIGH) so now I can sell all of them and make some money heheheh.

I've been too busy with work to really play a lot, but weekend is coming up soon! I just want to curl up with my town...

 

[DCB]

Been busy IRL lately, so I've only had time to really just check the mail in the mornings.

 

[DCB]

Played last night to find that Eloise was moving; she never pinged me about it.
Today, I got a letter in the mail from her with her picture, so I have her pic twice {'cause of April Fool's}.

 

[noctos]

Today I paid off the camp site, Phoebe moved in, and I paid Nook for my third house expansion! I'm currently in the process of doing 2/3 island runs to work up a few bells. I've also received a whole bunch of presents from Pietro. He just makes me really happy with his constant dancing and gift giving heheh. I've planted a few cosmos around his house ;;

I caught Frank prowling around an abandoned beehive earlier. He was seething and going in angry circles, and it looked like he'd just shaken it loose only to get stung. it was kind of hilarious. I assume villagers can't actually get stung by bees though? I know they shake trees at random, but I've never seen them get a beehive. Maybe it was just one I left around town yesterday...

5 months and going so far! Longest I've had a town for, and it's my favorite town. I'm playing day by day and taking it slowly and I love how much it's starting to progress now.

That's great! Congratulations to you and everyone who has made it this far!

However, if I still have my town by the end of the year, I'm probably going to TT to get all the bugs/fish/seasonal items I missed.

 

[Ray-ACP]

GUYS, just to let you know i'm still going strong since january 19th! My town is doing really well, i've got pattern paths around the whole town and it's been in the perfect status for a while now, so golden can soon! I still need loads of bushes and flowers to make it better but I think this is the farthest i've ever got on working on my town without restarting.

There is one thing i'm upset about is that I missed weeding day and I REALLY wanted those pwps for my town, they were going to be a big part of it. But now I have to wait a year = /

 

[Pikachitu]

Getting half price on retail today can't wait till 6pm... I war to unlock T&T Mart and catalog more things. Never really appreciate the half price sale before when I can just gain bells from selling villagers with my cycling town (which is boring)... this challenge with the no transfer rule is making me earn money the old fashion way (beetle hunting and shark fishing) so them bells are worth a lot more for me now

 

[DCB]

I've been sooo behind on trying to get Perfect status. I feel like every time I try to make a real effort to clean up my town, I get distracted by something else.

Today, I finally got Pink Carnations from Mom in the mail!

Monkey D Luffy told me that I should still post here. So hopefully it'll be okay with you guys.

Here is why I had stopped updating: some time around mid march I TT'd a lot. I think it was like, a little over a week total. I did feel really bad immediately after though so I stopped playing for a rl life week until my game was once again matched up to the real date. I also plot reset for my last four villagers.

I'm telling you guys this because even though I was told to post here, I want to make sure that everyone is okay with what I did. If anyone has any objections then please tell me. I honestly won't get offended. Not unless somebody is like "OMFG I HATE YOU I HOPE YOU DIE GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE U TT SCUM"

-------------- BUT ANYWAY HERE IS WHATS BEEN GOING ON ------------------

Progress wise I'm actually behind the herd, I still haven't unlocked Gracie's. In fact, I haven't passed a single one of her checks. She has visited my town a few times, maybe three times total, but she always comes on one of those days when I'm extremely busy/don't have the time to coordinate any outfits. It's really not a big deal.

Mostly though I've just been playing the stalk market like crazy. Unfortunately though I'm still pretty broke. ALL of my bells have gone towards hybrids, bushes, and of course PWPs. I've also bought a few items for my house, but it's still pretty empty...

Oh! I did manage to get a perfect town. But I lost my status. Basically I left clothes by my plaza for dreamers to wear and the trash has messed up my status ;-;

 

[Pikachitu]

Haha pocky I think it's alright since 1, you already punished yourself by not playing for an entire week so you probably won't do that again, and 2, I believe the purpose of this challenge is so that you can enjoy the game slowly and without tricks (such as Redd items farming). I think you're ok since you are trying to play day by day, plus the most important thing is that you're enjoying your game . I'm not the owner of the thread though so I can't speak for her but I don't think anyone would oppose. Also, congrats on perfect town (you now have that beautiful flower clock). X_x I'm still trying. I forgot how I did it the first time.

 

[pocky]

so glad that you guys are okay with it, I started Jan 1st so I was really upset when I had to stop updating. I wish I had posted here sooner.

What is Isabelle telling you when you check on the town status?

 

[Pikachitu]

I have 17 pwp but my town is still under developed.... I think I have too many trees but I'm very reluctant of cutting them down >_<
