The one year challenge

[Cuppycakez]

I keep getting ugly villagers and I'm extra sleepy today so super picky.

Hey guys, do you know what would be cool? We could set up some kind of Tumblr or blog so we can all talk about our progress... :O

 

[The4thDoctor]

I wasn't planning on doing this challenge, but my old town was a mess from time travel and failed plot resetting, so I just gave in and reset the town. I hope my town will look cool by the end of this challenge.

I keep getting ugly villagers and I'm extra sleepy today so super picky.

What matter does it make? Were not supposed to plot reset even when we get cute starting villagers.

Anyway, got my town up! Not mayor yet but, soon-to-be Mayor Xavier of Termina.

Pros:
Bianca is one of my starting villagers
Star Snow (Circle Grass in 55 days)
Plaza and Town Hall are next to each other
Now i'm not that really crazy about the Town Hall color, but its retro style (You know, WW and CF one) Yay!
Only one pond, its obviously the one next to Re-Tail, another pro about it is that its on the bottom-left and its a small circle, another pro is that no villager will plot their house at the top because that's annoying.

Cons:
Green Train Station Roof. Its too common to me, but I gotta live with it. I'd give it a 5/10
Oranges as my native fruit, boo! No perfect apples for me.
No private beach area

I may post pictures but probably no map as I don't have Miiverse yet.

mayor flint of new era, residents soon to come are daisy, ash, and boxthorn

fruit: peaches
grass/snow: square/hexagon
south waterfall, green train station, brown town hall

booyeah

i really would, but i tried trading yesterday and my sister's internet wouldnt let me for some reason. we can try tho.

I suppose we could give it a try, Ill just add you now ^^

 

[Improv]

Alright, I'm home from the hospital yet again and I'm starting the process of getting my town.

 

[AnnaThePolarBear]

Just made my new town! I've got peaches as my native fruit, which is great because that was the fruit I was hoping for.
All in all I'm super excited to see how this year will go.​

 

[asuka]

OOOOH i'm thinking about resetting my second town to join everyone! this looks like a really fun idea. ^^

 

[BlooBelle]

Here's Wisteria! I forgot to take a picture of planting the town tree, but here's a pic of the map. :c
I ended up placing my house in that little nook near the beach entrance to the left.

 

[Nemui-Kuroe"]

This is Acrewood! I think Id prefer if the river joined all the way to the left rather than changing direction to downwards, but I can work with it. I plan to take down the bridge and place 3 new ones in different places
What do you think? I plan on making dirt paths and surrounding my plaza with trees ^^

Spoiler: Map

Heya guys! Back home now, just scrolling through the thread catching up on everyone's news, will be a long reply post so be warned! Haha.

Oooh, I love your map and starting villagers.

Thank you so much! I lucked out Looking forward to seeing who my 6th move in will be tomorrow! Hope you enjoy Poppy when she arrives ^_^

I'm joining in too! I resetted my town in late summer 2014 and time travelled A LOT after that. I had seen many amazing and stunning towns and wanted to make mine like that too. And I wanted to do it as fast as possible. Like, I'd play several hours a day, TTing all the time. I was only striving for the outcome and completely ignored the journey that'd get me there. That just took the fun out of playing NL. I have no idea why I thought it would be fun that way. It's great that this challenge encourages to playing with the flow! Good luck to everyone who is restarting! It'll be fun! And it'll be fun to do it together with other people and see everyone's progress. Thanks for starting this thread.

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?

Love your town map! And congrats on getting great villagers! I've never had a frog villager in my town before, they look cute, though!

Thank you! Frog villagers are adorbs, even if they get all wet and slimey in the rain because they don't use umbrellas (it's true!! haha). Can we tempt you into joining the challenge yet?

Diva will be my first move in
And I have oranges

Woohoo! I hope I get Diva as my uchi too I have pears, if you want to trade fruit, I can hook you up

I just made my town, Macaron. c: I have apples which I really wanted and star snow which I'm really pleased about! I love my starter villagers. > w<

Congrats on your new town, it looks fab! I swear, we all seem to be having pretty great luck with our starters today. I'm taking it as a good sign that we're going to have a great year in our new towns! ;-)

My copy has gone completely missing ;v; I'm going to cry if I don't find it soon. That's what happens when you see it on the floor and just kick it somewhere! ;A;

Omg that sucks, I'm sorry to hear this! I hope you find it soon

I am going to start looking for a new town layout really soon!

How are you getting on, found anything you like yet? I love your town name idea, so pretty ^^

Ill post a picture of my town map soon, I was wondering if anyone had some peaches they would be willing to trade for oranges? I have 6, I sold the rest to retail :/

I don't have peaches unfort, but I do have pears if you get desperate, lol. If I get my hands on any peaches and you still need some, I'll hit you up

I forgot to mention, my town fruit is cherries so if anybody's interested, feel free to add me and let me know here. ^_^

Congrats on your new town! Love the name, it really suits this challenge I have pears, if you'd like to trade fruits, let me know! I've saved as many as I can to try and help out where I can.

I wasn't planning on doing this challenge, but my old town was a mess from time travel and failed plot resetting, so I just gave in and reset the town. I hope my town will look cool by the end of this challenge.

Yey another new town! I hope you enjoy the challenge, and the fresh start! It should be a great ACNL year, I bet your town will look fab by the end of it

Anyway, got my town up! Not mayor yet but, soon-to-be Mayor Xavier of Termina.

Did you decide to keep the new town, or did you carry on map resetting?

mayor flint of new era, residents soon to come are daisy, ash, and boxthorn

OMG, totally love your map! Everything looks great, you're so lucky, and the town name is very fitting too ^_^

Alright, I'm home from the hospital yet again and I'm starting the process of getting my town.

Hope you're okay! Good luck setting up your new town, looking forward to hearing about it soon

All in all I'm super excited to see how this year will go.

Town looks great, and you got Penelope, Marcie and Tucker, awesome! Really hope you enjoy your new town

OOOOH i'm thinking about resetting my second town to join everyone! this looks like a really fun idea. ^^

Yey, join us!!! Do ittttttt!

Here's Wisteria! I forgot to take a picture of planting the town tree, but here's a pic of the map. :c

Ahh I love your map, that cute little dip in the river looks great (and lol that a villager has parked their house right in the middle of it!). You got some nice starters too, Gayle, Bella and Lobo are fab!

I really like your town name, and your map! The river is really unique, I don't know if I've ever seen one like that before, it's great. I think I'm going to try some natural paths in my new town too, perhaps bush or cut-bamboo lined. I'm going to work on my town flag later, seeing as I can't do much else til tomorrow, lol.

 

[SaraNickle]

I know last night I said I wasn't going to reset...but I woke up today and changed my mind. My new towns name is Cupcake and the Mayor is Sugar. lol I thought it was cute! TTing is my downfall but I am going to try super hard to not do it.

Good Luck everyone!

 

[Beary]

doing this
bless the creator this sounds like piles of fun

Ah, thank you! Poor Lobo, if he hadn't put his house in that little dip I wouldn't be considering letting go of him but I want an alt there. ;3;

Good luck with your new towns, everyone! Everyone has such awesome maps and starters. :>

I just realized I'm REEEAALLLYYY late
;//; hope I can join in anyways <3

I'm killing my cycling town because
wynaut

I am Mayor Bear of Yosemite. I like bears, and I like Yosemite.
I got a map I don't love, but don't hate.

Spoiler: map pic

My starting villagers are Gruff, Poncho, Gwen, Pinky, and Deena. I'm not a big fan of Deena or Pinky, but I looove Poncho and Gwen.

I have square snow, red train station, oranges, and a yellow town hall.
I'm happy!

 

[Mr. L]

After a couple resets I managed to find a map I could really grow to like.

I also got two villagers I really like, Rosie and Puck. Not a big fan of Croque.

Yey, welcome! Your new town sounds fab (and I love that your Mayor Bear and you got two bear starters). I think your map is fab, the river is really unique. Enjoy your first day/night in Yosemite

Glad you found a map you like, your town hall is in a nice spot in that river loop ^_^ I hope this is a great year for Compton and it's villagers (even Croque and his impressive 'tache, lol).

Thanks, Taciturn looks great, maybe I could come and visit sometime. I really like how the town square is right in the middle, and everything else sort of revolves around it.

 

[Trickilicky]

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
