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

[Capeet]

There was a throne at TIY today. And I bought it. Guess I don't have to worry about spending money there anymore!

 

[Capeet]

Clay isn't ill anymore! I went to talk to him and he thankd me for the medicine and gave me a trash can.

 

[Mothership]

I let Benjamin move out of Moonvale and was then able to adopt Stitches as my permanent lazy

So...now I think I'm completely satisfied with my villagers! I adore them all

I have Fang, Frank, Roald, Beardo, Stitches, Soleil, Rosie, Paula, Molly and Bertha.
All of them live on the bottom half of my town except for Fang. I forgot to load a new character on the day Fang was to arrive from my Campsite, so he plopped his house on the upper half near the Town Hall. Not where I wanted him to be, but I love him too much to kick him out.

 

[Capeet]

Klaus moved out a couple of days ago so I adopted Deirdre. Today she's all settled in! It's nice to have one more villager that I actually like! Midge is moving out on the 21st and I'm probably adopting someone else again after she leaves.

The plans I had for my 2nd character's house wholly changed a couple of days ago and my new ideas make so much more sense. Going to start decorating today!

 

[Kit]

You guys.. Kept posting?
I'm sorry I didn't stay dedicated to this thread. I had moved onto other projects and lost interest in AC.
Something possessed me to check the boards today.

 

[Mothership]

Hi, Kit! Yeah, Sensai Gallade, Cosmic Kid and me are the main ones trying to keep this thread alive. We're still playing in our Challenge towns...maybe not every day, but we're still here!

 

[Capeet]

Guess what! Gracie's in town today! I only have me a shirt though. Will see if I bother buying some more clothes from the forums to pass the check.

As for other things, Midge is moving out today and I'm making progress with my second character's house. It's a good day! I'll be making that long-awaited third character soon too, on the 31st I think. I have ideas for two or three rooms and they will be very different from anything else I've done. I'm excited, it should be a lot of fun. Just realized I'm missing a name for the character though. Hmm...

 

[Capeet]

I cancelled the beautiful town ordinance because I wanted more weeds in my town and well... Now the cockroaches are back too! I had forgotten all about them. Clay was supposed to come hang out at my place but I remembered it a couple of minutes late so I had to quickly run home to welcome him... He arrived just as soon as I got in and there was a cockroach in my house!! And Clay wouldn't hang out with me because of it! ;__;

It was kind of funny. But the cockroaches sure are annoying!

 

[Mothership]

Ewwwww, cockroaches! Those nasty things ARE annoying! I've never had a villager refuse to come in my house for a visit, so I never knew it could happen.

I'm just chugging along in Moonvale. I play in it at least 3-4 times a week. Atm, I'm just saving my money for when Gracie's has the Princess set for sale. I'm going to buy it to replace the Pave set in my upstairs room.

I haven't expanded my house past the main room/upstairs/basement stage because I don't like how awkward it is to arrange furniture in the main room when you have all those doorways to work around.

 

[Capeet]

My mayor has only those three rooms too. Her main room is fully expanded and the basement and upstairs are medium size. I like this house size best. I never really know what to do with the fully expanded rooms, there just seems to be too much space. The smaller rooms are cozier too. Wish we didn't have to expand the main room to the largest size..! I agree on the doorways by the way. They just make decorating more difficult and I don't like the look of them either. So not going to expand any further.

My alt has every room but the one in back though. Since I had so many ideas, I thought I'd sacrifice the main room to get two more to work with. I had great plans by the way to fill two of the rooms with wheat fields and some other stuff but it didn't work out. I can't lay down enough wheat fields. I've been ordering them with both characters for the last couple of days. I thought maybe the wheat fields would be an exception and wouldn't count towards the furniture limit because you can walk through them but I was wrong. Now my plans won't work out and it's kinda lame. I found a way to work around the problem though but the effect won't be as cool.

Anyway, something else's happened too. Peggy pinged me today and she will be moving out on the 30th. Aaand there's a meteor shower in my town right now.

 

[Capeet]

Zero has moved in. He's one day late but it can't be helped anymore. This is the last character I will make because I don't want a 4th in case I want to plot reset sometime.

I adopted Felicity yesterday and Kyle today. Lots of new faces. I've built a couple of PWPs too: a bench in front of town hall and a torch near Clay's house. Oh, and I set the beautiful town ordinance back into effect. As much as I like weeds, I also want to get Jacob's ladders and breed hybrids which, by the way, is way easier with beautiful town ordinance in effect. I figured my town should be near the perfect status if I got rid of the weeds. And I was right, I just had to clean up the town and Isabelle told me it was perfect. Now I'm just waiting for those flowers... I'll get weeds later.

 

[Mothership]

Whew. I was getting worried because none of my villagers have asked to move for quite awhile, so i was concerned that one of them would sneak out of town on me. No one pinged about moving or talked about moving rumors when I played today but, when I saved, quit and went back on Roald pinged and said he was leaving on the 3rd! I stopped him, tho.

 

[Capeet]

Gracie's in town again and this time I passed! 3 more checks to go.

So far Goose has tried to sell me his cherry three times today. For a ridiculous price too. He says he got it from a sports tournament but really it's a gift from Clay. I delivered it...

 

[Mothership]

Heh. My villagers do that, too. Silly critters

Finally posting Moonvale's Dream Address: 4200 6652 2226

Let me know if you visit and what you think of my humble little town.

 

[Capeet]

Goose was trying to get rid of his cherry. Again. This time I had to take it because he forced me to. It was kind of suspicious if you ask me. Not going to eat it. Just in case..!

I was curious so I visited your town Mothership! I really enjoyed strolling around Moonvale. I must have been exploring it a good 45 minutes, lol. Your town was so welcoming and calm! Maybe it was the flowers? I like what you did with them by the way, it didn't look all that organized and I loved that. I especially like the area around your campsite and the park below train station. PWPs really do look best when theye're placed close to each other like that. Also I like how Fang lives next to the town hall all by himself while all the others have plotted in the southern island. Fang looked grumpier than usual by the way but he still accepted me visiting your town. I chatted up some of your villagers so now they'll be stuck talking about me for a while. Heh heh. You're welcome.

 

[Mothership]

I'd keep a close eye on Goose if i were you, Cosmic Kid....looks like that chicken is up to something

I'm glad you enjoyed my town Yeah...I kinda let the flowers do their own thing, but I do try to keep the same types together. My villagers have other ideas, tho. They are so NOT helpful when they plant the wrong color or type of flower. Every now and then I go around and tidy up the flower patches, but most of the time I just let things be.

Fang lives all by himself because I forgot and loaded up my Mayor on the day Fang arrived from the Campsite. It does kinda suit him, tho, being the "lone wolf" of Moonvale.

I don't mind if my villagers talk about you. It's a welcome change from their usual boring dialog.

 

[Mothership]

Wow...it's gotten real quiet in here again. Nothing new in Moonvale to post about, tho.

 

[Capeet]

I feel like a lot has happened in my town these last days. Gigi moved out and gave me her picture. It's the first one I've gotten in this town not counting the ones I got on April Fool's day. Deirdre tried to move out too but I didn't let her go, I've been getting PWP requests almost every day and I've been doing some landscaping too. Oh, and Gracie was in town again! I've been lucky with her visiting so often. I passed this time too so now there are only 2 checks to go.

But yeah, I too wonder where everyone in this thread disappeared. : D I was kind of expecting this though since the same happened in last year's challenge. I was one of the drop-outs too...

 

[SensaiGallade]

Wow...This thread is dead...

Nothing much is happening in Rosemoor. Nearly completed all my encyclopedia's. Development is moving along slowly and recently Octavian moved out. But I have Fang reserved soooo yeah...

 

[Mothership]

Frank has been ill the past few days....poor baby Another day or two of medicine should have him back to his usual self, tho.

Other than that, it's just been one ordinary day after another in Moonvale.
