The one year challenge

[X2k5a7y]

Aw man, Faery...
Starting on December 25th, seems so much better, to me...
I celebrate Christmas. It would be like a Christmas present...
Okay. I know I said I'm in, but I'm starting on December 25th.
Yup.
Doin' it.

Does anyone have any plans for their town - theme, town name, character name, paths, type of fruit?
Any plans for the first day? ^_^

I might try this with a second copy but I just started a town on Dec 1 ^^

How many people are doing this so far?

 

[LunaMoon Crossing]

in the things listed above, i already do all of those things ^^
except for starting it on january, that's what i didn't do. this seems like a great idea, letting a town grow naturally day by day by day by 365 days.

i'm planning to call my town twinleaf, but i don't know what i'll name my mayor.

 

[Hazel]

Aww I really wish I had a second copy so I could take part in this! It's a great idea though

I've been resetting for weeks for a map, so this will be a nice excuse to pick one and just start playing.

I was, but I decided I wasn't going to be part of it. I'm out.

Starting mine today on my alt. cart c: (i cant wait til the first)

 

[X2k5a7y]

I started mine yesterday, but I had started it, before it was a new day in the game.
But my starting villagers were Vladimir, Diana, Puddles, Elmer, and Sheldon.
Paula moved in, but I haven't played since I saw her plot.
We got a puppy, but she's not well. So, I've been consumed with that responsibility.

This sounds like a super duper fun challenge. c:
I would love to do this once I get my second copy of the game.
Now I got to think of cute town names... :L

 

[Hazel]

It's just an idea but if you guys have ac tumblrs you should totally blog about the challenge too You'd have your own little diary/scrapbook to look back on at the end of the year which imo would be pretty cool as you could see your progress.

I'm contemplating getting a second copy of the game just to do this challenge. I'm torn between getting another copy of NL or getting another pokemon game. Ahh decisions...

 

[pocky]

I'm in! I'll use my second copy of the game

 

[LaverreCrossing]

I have a 2nd copy that I don't use, so i'll give this a try

 

[Trickilicky]

Okay you guys, I'm going to use my spare cart to do this challenge with you all! I failed miserably trying to do a themed second town, I just didn't have the time, but The One Year Challenge rules will make playing a new town much simpler and less time-consuming. I'm pretty bloomin' excited now I've decided to have a go, I'm going to think up some town names soon I plan to choose one of the first four maps given to me on the 1st Jan and stick with whatever and whoever I get!

Will this thread keep running so we all update each other on our new towns and such? I like the idea of a Tumblr but I have no idea how it works, it looks sooo complicated ><

 

[pillow bunny]

we should make an official tumblr for this challenge, so everyone can post about their progress daily and reblog it there! ^.^

 

[Acrewoodx]

Ill join! But I made my town yesterday so might be a little ahead. Ill follow the rules but, sorry, I might dona little plot resetting now and again x

 

[otiulle]

if i ever get a second copy of acnl i will do this for sure! it sounds super fun :>c
(i mean i did restart my town yesterday but i put it to september 1st and i plan to time travel + plot reset sO)

 

[pillow bunny]

is anyone else planning to actually start on january 1 and follow all the rules?

 

[Paperboy012305]

Ok I decided to do this on another Cartridge copy. Seems I won't be doing it digital as I have a brand new 3ds.

RIP. My digital copy Animal Crossing New Leaf game. You will be missed.
