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

[Capeet]

I got the perfect town status today! I don't know how I should go about maintaining it. I want a golden watering can and Jacob's ladders but on the other hand, I also want to make changes to my town which might mess up the status. Maybe I should go for the watering can? In the meantime, I could concentrate on making money to fund future PWPs and house upgrades...

I didn't have much time to play yesterday but I found Peggy's plot. She moved in today from someone's town. She's already the 3rd random move-in that I've gotten though wi-fi in this town. Now I'm at 10 villagers again. So of course I panicked a bit when I saw someone in the igloo today but fortunately it was Pango who I wouldn't have asked to move in even if I could. Good thing is that Lucy's going to move out on the 14th I think so I won't have 10 villagers for long.

@ fenris : I have some extra Pave furniture....chair, bureau, sofa, closet, clock, lamp, end table, floor and bookshelf. You can have them for free if you want them.

@ Cosmic Kid: go for the watering can. Changes to your town can wait til the 16 days (? forgot how many) are up. I know it's hard to wait...I'm going thru that in my town, but it'll be worth the wait, imo.

omg, that is so nice of you! that's most of the pieces I'm missing, too!

Of those, I need the chair, sofa, closet, clock, and floor. Are you sure you don't want anything for them? I've got plenty of bells, or you could have some of my hybrid flowers. I've got a bunch of pink roses and lilies.

@ fenris: Only things I really need atm are oranges and pears. I don't need anything else. If you don't have the fruits, it's ok. I'll still give you the furniture. When would you like to trade? And, your town or mine?

Ye I decided to go for the can too! This should be exciting. I'm already having a hard time trying not to litter my town. It happens so naturally to me lol. Really hoping to get some Jacob's ladders too but it seems like they don't spawn very often...

 

[Mothership]

@ Cosmic Kid: I've only gotten 2 Jacob's Ladders so far. They only spawn on the cliff edges, so, if you have a lot of other flowers there like I do, you won't get many. Tis frustrating atm because I want to move flowers to make more room for Ladders, but I'm afraid I'll mess up my PTS status if I do.

Moonvale is puttering along as usual. Puddles tried to move, but I told her to stay. Went to the Island and earned enough medals to get the Mermaid Clock. Just need the Bed and Chair now.

 

[Mothership]

YES! Bertha finally popped up in one of the cycling threads I chose her to be my 10th villager quite awhile ago and was beginning to think I'd never find her. Hopefully she'll be a good girl and quickly plot herself in a decent area tomorrow.

For now, I'm just taking things slow as I'm still waiting to get the majority of the villagers I want. I normally don't start my town until I'm done looking.

Oh this reminds me. There's one thing I'm wondering. I checked and you have to maintain perfect town status for 15 days straight to get the watering can. I know the day count gets interrupted if you don't have PTS at 6 am each day but does it also get interrupted if you lose the PTS at one point during the day but manage to get it back by 6 am? I'm not sure how this works.

Same here. I need 3 more dreamies which in keeping an eye out for. I've started laying a path and I'm getting my bridges sorted out then town development can start!

Also, when does the snow melt?

Sorry TBT is being weird.

 

[Mothership]

@ Cosmic Kid: You can lose PTS during a day but it won't reset the count if you fix the problem on the same day.

After several hours of plot resetting Bertha finally decided to live in a decent spot. She seemed determined to be either too close to the Town Hall or in the middle of my perfect peach orchard.....silly hippo.

@ SensaiGallade: snow melts Feb. 25th, I think

Ok thanks! That had been bothering me. How would moving flowers around mess up PTS then?

 

[Mothership]

@ Cosmic Kid: It probably wouldn't...I'm just being extra cautious. I do want more Jacob's Ladders, so I could move a few flowers at a time and keep checking with Pelly to make sure I keep PTS. But waiting is easier and I'm lazy

Ha, I see! I got one today. It'll be exciting to see how often they will spawn. Don't think it happened very often previously.

 

[davroslek]

I have some...not so great news. Honestly, I have lost all interest in my second town. So, please take me off this challenge.
