So I decided to start a new town after selling my old one (sold for 116 million bells, receiving it in 100 payments)
I doubt anyone will read or follow this, but y'know whatever. I'm mostly making this for myself!
I'm starting this town on January 1st 2017 by setting the clock back, and I'm going to play it daily for a year.
So by Halloween next year, I'm going to stop progress on Acryland.
The Rules I'm going to set for myself are:
- No trading with other players
- No Scanning in Amiibo Villagers to live in the town (I CAN scan in RVs and villagers to get the items/MEOW coupons)
- If a villager wants to move out, I have to let them unless they change their mind. (I.E. I'm talking to them and they give me the option again.)
- No Time Traveling
An exception to the trading rule:
I will be trading fossils and paintings with other people if they have extras or want to help me out.
However, I'll be doing 1:1 trading and will not accept gifts, even if someone has something I need I won't be taking it unless I'm offering an item in return.
If I mention the 'daily routine' that includes:
-Doing the Initiatives for the day
-Tending to the garden
-Digging up Fossils
-Finding the money rock and the fake rock
-Scanning in an amiibo for the 5 MEOW coupons
-Shaking all the trees in town
-Speaking with villagers (will note anything important, item trades, house visits, etc)
-Donating items to the museum.
-Trip to the island (if deemed necessary)
-Visit the campground

I'll be updating this daily with what I've done for the day and how far I've gotten each day.
This will be a quest to get as close to 100% completion for AC:NL in one year of daily playing.
I'll also be adding a sort of 'Lore' or 'Canon' to the town as I go along, just to make things a bit more interesting.
DAY 1:
After selling my old town, I received an appraisal of 116 Million IGB from Tom Nook, and was visited by Resetti after selling the town to him. 1.6 million bells were added to my ABD for the first day I arrived.
Upon entering the train I ran into Rover, who asked for my name and the town I was going to. In fear of Isabelle remembering me, I changed my name to 'Final' rather than 'Wish' who ran my previous town.
When the train arrived in Acryland, I was greeted by Flurry, Rod, Puck, and Isabelle, who mistook me for the mayor of this new town.
I tried taking a few detours to speak with the villagers and collect some items before going to the town hall, but Isabelle was very adamant about going there before doing anything else. I did pick up a few roses, though.
Bless her heart, Isabelle forgot my name and dragged me all the way to the town hall just to forget that I didn't have a home in town yet, so I ran to Nook's Homes to get a spot for my new home, which I placed at the river near the Town Hall, Campground, and Re-Tail.
I can already tell I'm going to like this place.
Isabelle gave me my TPC after returning to the town hall, and now I'm officially the Mayor of Acryland.
At the ceremony to make me the mayor, I met Tiffany and Rolf, two other villagers living in the town when I first arrived.
The first thing I did after that talk to Isabelle, who gave me a Zodiac Rooster to celebrate the New Year, and go pick a few roses that were lying around town, I plan to make a garden of them later to grow some hybrid flowers.
Afterwards, I went to the ABD and withdrew 30,000 bells from my bank, then went to the Nooklings and purchased
a Lazy-Susan Table to make my tent a bit more home-y, a Lovely Dresser to gift to one of my villagers, some wrapping paper, along with some notebook paper and my first tools, a Net and a Shovel!
My fortune for the day was:
#10
"She who forgoes a hat and grabs a helmet knows not the sting of lava."
Which gave me the Samus mask.
When my shopping at the Nooklings was done, I went to the Able Sisters, and spoke to Mabel, Sable and Labelle.
Sable and Labelle seem a bit closed off, but I'm going to keep visiting them. Maybe buying some things will get me on their good side. Today I purchased a Raglan shirt and some polka-dot shorts from Mabel and Sable, as well as a ribbon umbrella and red-zap helmet from Labelle.
After that was all finished, I paid off my tent and went to decorate my tent. Isabelle was nice enough to give me a lantern, which I'll be using tonight.
I displayed the rooster, the samus mask, the shirt I came to Acryland in, the lantern, and the table I bought in my tent. It's a little cramped, but I'll live. Until I get my house, at least.
A visit to Re-Tail seemed in order, and I sold off the Zap Helmet, as I really didn't want it for the moment. Timmy and Reece were in the middle of a trade when I entered the shop- I really hope I didn't disturb their trading.
I ended up buying the common bed and the office locker from re-tail, so I could store some items later and so that I wouldn't be sleeping on the ground in my tent.
To end off the day, I did the daily routine then went to sleep.
Here's to a good day tomorrow.
Profit of the Daily Routine:
8,100 bells (money rock)
1x Perfect Apple (Planted next to my house)
Amethyst
300 bells (shaking trees, stopped after bees)
500 Bells (selling beehive at re-tail)
x4 MEOW Coupons
Villager Notes:
Rolf changed his outfit, gave me a black track jacket, which I've decided to wear.
I sent out letters to Tiffany, Flurry, Rod, and Rolf.
I decided to hold off on sending out the Lovely Dresser today. I'll gift it to one of my villagers later.
Flurry gave me a red down jacket for getting her an apple, and I was unable to complete a fishing request for Puck, since I don't have the fishing rod yet. I decided to stay wearing my Black Track Jacket
I delivered a package to Rolf for Rod.
Rolf was asleep in his house when I went to visit, but thanked me for waking him up, and he sold me his present for 316 bells.
I decided to hold off on opening it until tomorrow. It'll be a surprise.
Talked to Joan and bought 10 Turnips to be able to catch ants and a fly next week.
Donated to the Museum:
-Bee
-Mole Cricket
-Pill Bug
-Iguanodon Tail
-Plesio Neck
-Ichthyo Torso
-Megacero Tail
