You probably remember the roundtable with the developers when this game was being developed. They said that you could be a good mayor and actual work or be a bad mayor that slacks off and does absolutely nothing to help the town. Well, I picked to be that I am absolutely loving it. Let me just tell you the things that I have done.
First off, every time I get a piece of furniture for free (whether it's from a neighbor, tree or balloon present), I immediately sell it on a flea market space at re-tail. That's not so bad right? Well, whenever I sell an item, I double the price and I sometimes even estimate it too. That means that if something is 700 bells, I will double it to 1,400 bells and then estimate it to 1,500 bells. I rarely plant trees around my town unless I am trying to plant fruit trees. I usually only send letters with gifts (and they usually are just junk like regular fruit and even trash) to my neighbors to get stuff from them to sell, unless they are a character that I really like, and even then it's still for the same purpose. I have a megaphone and a net and sometimes I get tempted to hit someone with my net or yell at them with my megaphone. Most public works projects are for my own personal gain or if I just feel like building it. I only accept to do errands for villagers just so I can get stuff from them that I can sell for money. I only go to the island for money and maybe for a souvenir. I only passed the night-owl ordinance so I buy stuff and make money late at night. My next goal is to build police stations so I can take stuff that isn't mine and sell it. I literally have 700,000 bells in my bank and I rarely spend a lot of the money in my bank unless I just don't feel like going to the island for money to pay off my public works projects or my loan. I am basically creating a communist and totalitarian town where I basically have all of the money and have control over everything.
Well, it's not like I am playing the game in an unintended way. The commercial says "You're the mayor here, and you decide how your town grows". I am deciding to grow my town in the most corrupt way possible. It also says "You can design your world just how you like it". A world where I own everything and I have basically all the money is my world just how I like it (Although, in real life I wouldn't be greedy or selfish with it. In fact, I would actually do something good with that kind of power). One of the tourism trailers says "where you can do what you want to do and create you happy place". A place where I have control over everything and I have basically all of the money is my happy place.
So, how do you guys feel about this?
