The Summer Challenge

[LillyKay]

I need to stay away from the resetting thread...

Nooooo, don't...

At this stage of the game things are slow and sometimes nothing new happens apart from another pink hybrid showing up etc. Anyway, I waited for something interesting to happen but otherwise I have been looking through the thread every day!

Jardin Updates:
* Jardin became a perfect Town on Sunday.
* Maid Ela joined the village to help Madam Mayor out. Mayor was overwhelmed with town hall duties, housework, cooking and childcare. Aaaha, the life of a working mother!
* Marshall is moving in tomorrow – not a fun but I needed a smug and have never had him in any of my towns before. A small village has been created without meaning to. 8 houses are now crowded in one small area and not arranged in any order. They are so random and interestingly give a cosy feeling!

Badges:
*2 gold
*5 Silver
* 10 bronze.

Gardening:
* Landscaping is still ongoing.
Flowers:
* Cosmos: Pink = 10, Orange =1.
* Roses: Pink = 19, Orange = 5, Purple = 3 and black = 9.
* Pansies: Orange = 14, Blue = 5,
* Tulips: Orange = 5, black = 3, Pink = 8,
* Lilies: Pink = 4
* Violets: Blue 4 – after weeks of watering and no success, 1 turns up for 4 days running.
* Jacobs Ladders: 2.

*sorry for posting so much*
My style of AC playing is just constantly resetting towns. I'm trying not to, but I don't have the interest in my town that I did before. Maybe it's just because I don't have time; fortunately, 2 and a half weeks until holidays! -.- So yeah I may wake up one morning and just delete my town. :3

Sorry for my inactivity these days guys. My show is starting on the 13th of July and our rehearsals are literally from 10am - 9pm with an hour break in between. I am wrecked! I might not be able to update for a while but I am still playing and improving Carragh when I can. The show is finishing on the 26th so I should be fairly free then for the rest of the summer then! Congrats on the progress people! We're really showing AC who is boss >:]

PS: Jachna... don't get your joke xD

But it was such a good joke xD

Again, sorry for so much posting

I've decided to just take a hiatus from AC, and come back to it in a couple of weeks, when I'm on holiday. I'll check back on this thread now and again though

Another one bites the dust

 

[Lavochain]

Hey guys, I was just wondering how everybody is getting on? I have been very inactive lately however we have been sorting plans for our wedding, in December.

I'm currently wrestling with the idea of whether I should restart or not. I don't like the fact I have time traveled as I wanted a main town where I didn't do this. Alongside this if there is an autumn challenge later in the year then I'd love to take part... so I may just start again now.

 

[Barbara]

I am doubting to reset my town... And if I do, I'll participate in this (possibly not doing all the tasks though). And I was wondering if doing the diving trick counts as cheating?

 

[Aestivate]

wow, I don't even have summer vacation yet. It won't start until 1 August. Before I could do this challenge, there is probably already an autumn challenge :c

 

[Barbara]

Wow, that's late. Aren't summer holidays meant to be during the midst of summer, when it's the hottest so you can have a break to enjoy the sun? I'm sorry for you.

Anyway, I'm in! I reset my town today and after a bit more than an hour, I found a map I'm satisfied with. I'll have a look at what has to be done, I think I can't complete some tasks though because of late entry. But I'll try my best!

Welcome! Yes it is a bit late and you will not be able to complete but I like the motivation the challenge provides. Let me know if you need items held or anything like that.

I do not suppose the diving trick is a cheat because it does not give you any advantage in the challenge.

Hi Lavo, we are getting on slowly but steadily as per our updates because of the stage we are in the game. At the beginning so much was happening so quickly and the need to update on a daily basis.

I hope your plans for the wedding are going smoothly. It can be a bit stressful sometimes. I also hope you are able to restart! We miss you!

I have decided to drop out

No TT'ing really isn't my thing. I'd love to keep posting stuff if that ok with you guys

What I have achieved so far:

Day 1: I paid off my first debt, collected all flowers in town and watered them to try and get hybrids. I also introduced myself to everyone and did all Isabelle's tasks to eventually gain all tools + 3 peaches that I planted along with my perfect pear.

Day 2: Today I was able to start working on my development permit, which I completed just a while ago. I also got 2 hybrids from my little field, an orange pansy and a pink cosmos.

My town info is this by the way:

Town: Florasy
Mayor: Barbara
Fruit: pears
FC: 2148-8127-6374

I have also decided not to do all challenges, because of late joining but also because I don't want to for example have 1,000,000,000 bells by the end of this and because I have no interest in certain tasks. These are the ones I will do though:
- achieve perfect town
- have *as many as possible* shops in main street
- earn *as many as possible* golden tools
- catch every summer bug
- catch every summer fish
- win *as many as possible* gold trophies in bug off's
- try to earn many badges
- have all fruit possible
- breed all hybrid flowers myself
- try to get many jacob's ladders
- dig up all fossils

I was wondering if somebody could help me get carnations? I need either 2 pink or a pink and a red carnation to be able to breed further to getting all three sorts. I'd be glad to return some after I've bred them or give other hybrids in return.
I also still need cherries, oranges and apples, if somebody could supply me those? :3

Hi Barbara, I can give you the fruits and flowers you need. You will need to add the FC on the side. Not Jardin below.

Congrats on your achievement! It is understandable to aim for what is achievable having joined so late. What is your native fruit?

[Barbara]

Thanks a lot for the fruits and flowers!

Of course I am still starting up at this point, but I am considering to start a hybrid shop that is either exclusive to people that participate in this challenge or I'll give discount to people in the challenge. What are your thoughts on this? And how do you think I could do that? I probably won't be able to fulfill all orders because of large amounts and appealing prices, so making it exclusive to this challenge seems more doable, however I'm afraid I may not have any orders at all then. So let me know!

So today I was allowed to start working on PWPs... And I don't know what to do anymore. I'll need to show my layout to illustrate.

Spoiler

As you may notice, my house is in a rather weird place compared to the bridge. I didn't plan on keeping this, so for the time being I'd just deal with it. Today I was happy to start building a bridge where I wanted it, to the left of my house - to easily access the town plaza and the rest of the town. But stupid Isabelle wouldn't let me. Assuming a guide I followed on bridge spacing it was possible, but apparently it still wasn't right. I placed my house back as much as possible to make this possible, but now the bridge can't be placed I don't really know what to do anymore. Since I don't want to keep the bridge behind my house and can't place a bridge there, I would have to place a bridge on the bend beteeen the two villager houses, which is - of course - not yet possible until they move out.
I am really annoyed by this and wonder if I should reset. I'm only 2 days into the game and could get a better map/house placement, but I also feel sorry for people that gave fruits & flowers to me. And I honestly also don't want to go through the hassle of getting my development permit again, but I guess resetting is the best solution.

So I was wondering if someone could hold my few hybrids and bells for the time being, while I reset for a better map. I know transferring isn't allowed in this challenge, but isn't this an exception? It's stuff I made during the challenge that I'll transfer, which I generated myself in these two days. I would appreciate any advice for me on this.

Well done to everybody's progress! in just 2 weeks my summer holidays will start at last and I can pick up the game and really try to get into it! I'm still following this thread, even if I don't post c:

I have got back you. Check you PMs

Grand opening of TIY was today.
Latest badges: dream and street pass badges.
Jardin is still perfect but no golden watering can as yet.
Continuing to collect emotions

 

[AkaneDeath]

Life in confetti:

-another badge for lolly
-the cafe opened
-Tia has moved in
-added to the museum
-accidentally bought a fake from redd
-still buying saplings. How do you get the golden axe anyway?
-Ruby has refused to move. She has brought it up three times and has changed her mind each time I've said yes so I've decided to let her stay permanently if she likes my town that much.

Would anyone be willing to sell me oranges and pears? Or trade for perfect peaches?
