You can have multiple people, its just only the first person can be mayor, other than that, if you're looking for a new save file for a new mayor, no.

Technically, yes.

Multiple players. One mayor. 3 human residents.

Multiple mayors? no.
Multiple towns? no.

If you have muliple SD cards but one game cart, could you have multiple towns?

Multiple SD cards, no. Tried it and lost my first town in the process.

Maybe Nintendo didn't want people "copying" or making "second" towns on Animal Crossing. So when you started up the game on the other SD card, the game told you that you had another save saved somewhere else, and asked if you wanted to forget about the save and make a new one on the current SD card.

The game will probably recognize saves though some kind of "ID" system. That way people cant share saves. Also, hitting the option gave you a new "ID" so the old save isn't recognized anymore.

I hope I made sense. I'm a Computer Science guy and sometimes I might use to much jargon or go into confusing detail.

Having one SD card town and a game cart may be fine.

I don't know why they don't want us to share files...

Just to clear things up,

You get 1 town, 1 mayor, and 3 human villagers.

Thats cheating and destroys the uniqueness of everyone having a randomly generated map. I dont want to see clones, I don't like people taking shortcuts either. I prefer peoples progress in a game to really depict the time THEY have put into it.
