The one year challenge

[Libra]

Can we tempt you into joining the challenge yet?

LOL, I'll just read how everyone's doing.

I know myself and I'd break the rules in no time, especially the "no plot resetting" one. And I'd break the "no transferring anything" a little (like I'd want to at least transfer my tools and a few other items) as well. I could do the "no time traveling" one, though. I think.

I know I'll be resetting soon, just not sure yet what mayor and town name I want, oops.

Molly moved in (a dreamie) and put her house in a really awkward place. ):
Think Ill have to let her go and cycle through to gain her back :/

Okay I got my 6th move-in...Phoebe! I've never had her before, so I'm pleased! I'm really looking forward to meeting her tomorrow. She's moving right next door to Doc, so her house is quite neat looking. I've only planned out a few things in my town so far, so villager house locations aren't too much of a worry (must resist urge to plot resettttt).

I've followed all of Isabelle's town advice, and she's given me some peaches, lined paper, a fishing rod and a watering can. So I'm off to get my town approval rating up! Can't wait to be able to visit the Island and make some real money to pay for some bridges and the camp site when I unlock them.

Totally agree, no plot-resetting is going to be tough, but also a strange relief. I get so stressed out doing it in my main town (even though it IS worth it), so I don't want to play this second town the same way, I want it to be a different and simpler experience. Well I keep telling myself that Excited to hear you're restarting soon, good luck with it and look forward to hearing all about your new town ^_^

Ahh sorry to hear that, is it definitely not work-able? I haven't planned too much of my town yet, I sort of hope I don't find someone is right in the way of a future project! If that happens, I'm going to do my best to work around it, or just let them go and hope I meet them again in the future.

My Skye moved out my main town, but I got her in my new town so i'm happy!

 

[Megan.]

Croque is my first move in. Not a huge fan and his house is in the way of a bridge but no worries, I'll just let him move on when he asks. c:

Hi, everyone New to the forums here and I thought I'd try this challenge. I wasn't able to play much yesterday though so I'm a bit slower than everyone else in terms of progress. Hope it goes well. I named my town Camomile, my mayor is named Hana.

Can't post pictures yet but so far I'm really liking my town! Not too crazy about the map but I don't hate it either. I got pears as my town fruit (bleh) but I suppose I can replace them with the peaches Isabelle gave me later. My starter villagers are Bud, Mallary, Mitzi, Chief (!!!) and Chester. Colton's gonna move in tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that.

Excited to see everyone else's progress c:

That's great! Did you get the same Skye, or another Skye? Either way, congrats on getting a fab villagers in your new town ^_^

Croque's moustache is a bit scary, haha. He's such an angry orange frog I hope he enjoys his time in your town while he's there anyway! I know I'll be getting a few bridge-blockers myself in the future, what with no plot resetting and all ><

Welcome to the forums! And thank you for joining the One Year Challenge, I hope you have a great 2015 in Camomile (such a cute name too). I got pears too, but I didn't mind so much as I've never had them before, and I'll only plant a few of them. The perfect pears look pretty nice though which is lucky. You got some great villagers so far, congrats! Looking forward to seeing the pics of your new town when you post them, it sounds lovely ^_^

 

[Hyasynth]

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? ^_^

Haha, thanks! I'm not entirely sure how to theme my town yet, right now I'm leaning towards something spring-y and flowery. Even if it's winter now, I figure I'll have my stuff together by the time spring arrives and I'll be able to start redecorating.

What I know for sure is that my mayor's house will have a yellow/white house exterior and a lot of black/yellow furniture with honeybees and beehives as decor. The Honeybee Chest is a must.

Update:
Today's move-in was Fuchsia, whose name requires the use of Google's spellchecker to get right. She's one of the Uchis I've never had before and I think she's super cool, so I'm looking forward to having her.

 

[AnnaThePolarBear]

I was really happy to see that Marshal is going to be my first move in, although I'm not too happy he decided to put his house right in frount of Re-tail.. Oh well.

 

[The4thDoctor]

Today was interesting, I played for a few hours and near the end of my play session I had only just found the 6th villager plot. To my surprise, it was Pietro. I don't know if I like him or hate him, but he's not in a bad spot so I'll keep him. I spent most of my time just fishing for the museum and selling extras for the 39k loan. Unfortunately, I sold all the seashells for money, and hadn't even started Isabelle's advice, so I can't finish that today. I forgot about my development permit, I'm not even sure what its percentage is. I guess I got really focused on paying off that loan. I'm practically broke now that I paid Nook back, but since I paid him back the island will open up soon, so I'll just have to deal with being broke for a day or two.

Mayor Lilou welcomes you to Lunami

[Camillion]

Geez I see a lot of villagers that I share with others! Punchy, Butch, Bella... Kind of amusing, actually.
I'm about 20% away from my approval already! I think I've been playing too much x3

Yeah, I've been seeing Pancetti and Bella a lot! It's such a weird coincidence that I share villagers with so many others. cx
Gotta start on my approval, I hope that the nooks decide to finally put a fishing rod out.

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! The only thing I've managed to think of so far is that I definitely need to have at least 1 sheep villager and then a red rose as a feature somewhere in the town ^^

That's true~I CAN go at my own pace and not worry so much!!! I am going to check to see who my 6th villager is RIGHT NOW xD Thanks for the kind words~

Ahaha, I know. xDD
Yeah it's annoying but they can move out so whatever~ I'm going to put PWPs down wherever I don't want villagers to move in.

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.!

Thanks. I love my map, Cole looks like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck fused together, Bianca is so cute!. The face I chose is my 2nd favorite. Before it was confirmed that boys can have that face I daydreamed that how it would look like if boys had it, then when a new trailer was released it came a reality! I am happy with my town and having a great year in Termina, me too! I only made 2 alts at the moment, Ben and Lexi. And Did ya know? Ben was the first choice I wanted to name my mayor before I went with Xavier? They're mostly mules but I also want to make them be more than a mule.

Anyway, here's round 2 of whats new in Termina!

Spoiler: What's new in Termina?

It looks like Deirdre will be staying with us for a while. I wonder how she'll turn out.​

New alts, Ben and Lexi!
My 2nd home loan has been paid off, Ben and Lexi's have been paid off once.
I have begun my development permit, my approval rating is now at 69 percent. Got a lot of work to do to reach 100%. Luckily i'm halfway there, hope to reach 100% in one day today!
Crazy Redd is has set his tent in Termina, I bought a fine painting because its the only genuine painting in there
I made the Town Tune the bicycle theme from Red and Blue, honestly its the only bike theme I like​

BONUS PICS:


I made the Rose Flag a Gold Rose, not bad

It doesn't look cute to me, because I can't see those beautiful pointy sides

I'm wearing a tricolor plaid, an already-made custom design for umbrellas

I had to do this for approval rating, why not make something for the one year challenge?

First time seeing my mayor barefoot? He was during the ceremony too.

Nice! You've accomplished a ton so far, I just payed off my mayor's loan.
Maybe I should start a TBT blog about my new town! omo

I hope that the nooks decide to finally put a fishing rod out.

Did you finish the Isabelle tutorials already? You could always ask her to sell you a fishing rod (or a bug net) if you haven't done them yet.

Honestly I prefer to skip them. I think she stops asking you about them after you get your approval rating, and I find them dull. :L
This will be her first day in town hall though, so I might try it!

My 6th villager will be Charlise! I've never had her either ^^

I'm doing this right now, and I forgot how boring it is ;w; although I do wish that Isabelle really would travel to the beach with you to collect seashells :3
