January 1st, 2016-The One Year Animal Crossing Challange Thread

[Backalleybard]

Things are going alright for me. I just finished a school project I got slammed with the first day I came back from holiday break (Which my partner didn't help at all with), so hopefully I can start making some solid progress on my town tonight.

Playland update:

-Got the reset center pwp request (didn't build it, today, though)
- Hamlet is unpacking
- Colton bailed on me going over to his house, then later decided to come over to mine.
-Stitches is still adorable.
-Vic decided to start calling me "princess".
- I built another bridge, and tomorrow, I'm demolishing the first one.
- Paid off the 198,000, and will have a second story tomorrow
That's about it. I've gotten more pink roses and a fountain in front of town hall.
I always like putting one there, and it prevents a villager from moving there, though I think Stitches being beside it and a boulder would prevent that anyway. I'm really proud of myself for sticking with this town, thus far. I'm really bad about abandoning towns, after a few days and starting all the way over.

Guys.... I left for school, and my 3ds got left at home ;~;

I can't go back for 5 months either... Guess I can't take part in the challenge anymore!

Update:
Fountain paid off
Got an axe
Got a nice harvest of perfect apples
Found a Coelacanth
Went island bug hunting again

Actually pretty chill day ;u;

edit: Vladimir just suggested zen garden so I'm gonna put it by my campsite

 

[Nimega_Gunner]

Today's news:

Paid off my first PWP (the fountain)
Didn't get any hybrids, since I didn't water flowers yesterday
Curt told me he wants to move, and I told him that it was OK

 

[Capeet]

I completed a snowman family for the first time. Snowtyke is so cute! I think I should get the Snowman Matryoshka from him tomorrow since everyone was well-balanced. I'm aiming for the snow bunny next time. Or should I just make 4 bingo Snowmen..? Snow people are more fun than I realized.

Ahh that's a shame. Can't you ask anyone to send the 3DS to you or something?

I'm going to continue testing this but something I've noticed with my first two plot resets of the day.
First time - Redd was there, no plot. Coincidently, Redd was here yesterday and wouldn't you know no plot.
Second time- Redd is gone, Whitney plots.

I'm thinking that maybe if Redd is in your town it prevents a villager from laying down their plot, and I'm thinking that maybe a Camper invite overrides a town invite, even though I invited Zucker last. I'll do it 3 or 4 more times (Or until Whitney is in a good spot) to see what else happens.

Interesting.

Wasn't the one in your town yesterday Katrina and not Redd? Anyway, if you're right about Redd preventing a move in, I wouldn't be surprised if Katrina's appearance did that as well.

It'd be interesting to hear other people's experiences about this as well. People are claiming lots of things about this and some of them definitely don't seem to be true, I'd like to know how this really works. I'm tempted to start experimenting myself haha.

 

[Azura]

I thought it was Katarina but I went in the tent and it was Redd, I confused tent designs,somehow. Though she spawns the same way I can see her doing the same thing.

Yeah, I didn't even know you could plot reset for Redd but he's rare I guess, he didn't appear the other 10 times I plot reset for Whitney. Though, Whitney is permanently in my town now, I'll have to see on Zucker, if by next Friday he's a no show I can safely say I'm not getting him. Every instance I've read of only getting one villager it's always been the last invited, so this is a new development.
Theory- Whitney wanted to move to Sodosopa so badly she sent a letter to Zucker saying he wasn't welcomed to throw him off from moving here and in return she could take his place. *X-Files theme*

It's kind of fun seeing how this will go but I do really want Zucker so my fingers are crossed.

I've heard many people say that Redd only shows up once a week but I guess that's not true then?
Lol I hope Whitney didn't send Zucker that letter. Hopefully he'll show up!

Not much has been done for my town today.
I did my daily routines and bought from Sahara, who I ended up selling because she chose bad flooring and wallpapers.
I donated fossils and ended up selling 1. I built another snowman and I should be getting Bingo soon!!

 

[mayortash]

Finally went to the island today! Visited Sly. Hans stood me up. Donated fossils to the museum and then ran over a package to Bill from Cranston - who then got upset because I got a present and he didn't.

 

[Capeet]

I decided on the placement of my campsite today and paid it off. I'm just getting started on bug catching on the island to afford other PWPs, most importantly the Dream Suite! I haven't unlocked it yet but I want to be able to pay it off on the day I get it. Also I have some other PWPs I want to build in the meantime.

By the way, silver axes are being sold on my island today. Lemme know if you want to come buy some.

 

[ItsMilkypink]

Feel more achieved today. Made about 30 medals, found all the fossils and special rocks. Bought out all the shops - it's for my catolog. Got a painting - which I'm confident is genuine - from Redd. Had Bill come round for a bit. Did a couple other favors too.

Need bananas and a perfect apple. Because Phoebe destroyed mine DX.

 

[Mycaruba]

Ilia updottle. Genji is moving in. Other than that, the usual stuff. I'll run down my Villagers for my impressions of them so far.

Maple: Cute as ever, but so far has had really weird taste in gifts, ranging from mouldy shirts to washing machines.
Rizzo: He's a weird dude. Man wears a birds shirt and says 'squonk' all the god damn time, but is like him.
Erik: He's really cool, and I've never had him before so that's a bonus. Though keeps on asking for Oranges even though there aren't any available in town.
Mac: 1, 2. 1, 2. He's buffer than you.
Twiggy: She acts really strange around everyone. She's constantly arranging to meet people behind the town hall, and asking to deliver secret packages to everyone. I'll keep an eye on her.
Annalise: She's really nice, but I've exchanged her Roccoco bed with her back and forth about 4 times now.
Diva: I don't really like her, she's super odd looking. Kind of just there.
Ken: Moved in recently and is cool. Purple chicken ftw.

 

[Mycaruba]

Good luck to the rest of you so far

 

[MayorBlueRose]

The usual stuff today, fossil finding and such.
Paid off 198,000 bells for expanding the first floor to the house
Cyrus is awake also.

Going to go to the island to go bug hunting.

I forgot to say i also have Happy Home Bronze, Skilled Diver bronze and seafood maniac bronze medals!

Fml just missed Katriena!

 

[Capeet]

Diva: I don't really like her, she's super odd looking. Kind of just there.

Ha, I've never met Diva in game but she seems cool! I wouldn't mind having her in my town! *wink wink* Somehow I've really grown fond of frog villagers... Jambette, Gigi, Croque. I didn't use to like them but now they are among my favorites.

Omg.. What.. How?! How do you get badges so quickly!?

 

[Squidward]

I haven't played because I was busy with moving some furniture. I don't know if I'll play today or not...
