Silliest thing you did as an AC newbie.

[cIementine]

I picked the first map I saw in belief that if you clicked 'nope!' it would just send you back to the main screen lol

 

[cheezyfries]

I picked quite possibly the worst map in the world: many if not all of my villagers are in the south, and many are in quite inconvenient places, such as all grouped up, right in front of town hall, or right in front of the fountain -.- I also stupidly let Merengue and Ruby leave, which makes me still sad, oh and I didn't know that you could group fruits and bamboo so I had about five million slots taken for one piece of fruit each haha oh i was such a newbie. I also sold my first perfect orange, thinking that I would get more for some reason haha

I've stupidly thrown out duplicate pictures (well, actually I sold them to Reese for cheap) because I thought, "I already have their photo; why would I need another one?" Now I know how much people will pay for pictures, so I hang on to them. D'oh!

Me too, exept I sold almost EVERYTHING

I've done the same thing in my New Leaf town (My first game, so I guess I'm still a newbie ^^ But one thing I still sometimes try to do is plant pitfalls and when I have Isabelle following me for a town project, I purposely try to make her fall in them. She's adorable and awesome, but for some reason I just find it so funny.
Another thing I know I did was skip the Fortune Teller and Crazy Redd. I look back on it now and think that if I just started off early, I wouldn't feel like I'm lagging a bit behind in those areas. ^^;

Ok... this post stopped me from selling my repeated pic of Phoebe... I guess I still make a lot of newbie mistakes! I've sold a bunch of non-reorderable items too... sigh.

Also I settled with the first map that popped up withouth even looking at other possible maps... at least it's not that bad of a map :B

I thought the hour-marking bells were for school.

When I was naming my character in Population Growing, I went to put the bunny emoticon. Somehow I accidentally deleted it from my name (thankfully), but when my character showed up with the pink hair I thought they were bunny ears and was convinced that the emoticon you clicked on changed your characters' species!! Haha!

Then, when my little sister tried to make herself a dog character, and she came out as a "bunny", for the longest time we thought we were bunnies... until we encountered an actual bunny character. THEN we thought we were pigs, because of the noses, and THEN we met an actual pig character...

Finally, mom looked it up and it said we were humans. Oops!

When i first got AC Wild World, I didn't realise that Kapp'n was taking me to a town, so i told him i wanted to go to the mall. Thus my town was named "mall" for the next 5 years xD. To be fair my town's name in ACNL is just as bad, I'm so unoriginal.

XD

 

[Inkbug]

i sold a sloppy wall and I've never been able to find another one. ugh.

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

This might be lazy, but...

...

I thought Freckles was a person originally, then she got bit by a duck.

When I was a noob to online trading, I thought you had to exit your game completely to enter someone else's FC. Lmfao.

 

[Marisska]

- Eating my first perfect fruit
- Selling sloppy stuff
- Getting rid of unorderable duplicates, specially villager pics...

 

[Tyboy000]

I thought when you picked something up, you were eating it (it does kind of look like they do). As you can imagine I was confused when I opened my pockets for the first time and was surprised to see it completely full of apples.

 

[Ponyu]

My first AC was Wild World. I read something about rotten fruits online, so for the first few weeks, I always harvested all of my fruit trees every three days because I thought they would rot otherwise... I also remember asking on a forum whether bugs on tree stumps meant the fruit was rotting.

Another funny thing was when I got my hair done for the very first time. I didn't use a guide, and it turned out to be the EXACT same hairstyle and color I had before (the AAA girl one)! I was actually looking in my inventory for some option I thought I might have missed, I thought I would somehow have to "activate" the new hairstyle first...

Silly silly!

PS: I love the story of the character being a bunny, such a cute idea!

 

[Mioki]

I don't remember doing anything particularly stupid in WW... Dumbest thing I've done so far in NL is not know that fruits now stack so it took me forever to sell all of my fruits to Reese.

Ditto. I was so flabbergasted by this discovery. It was like... The cure all for me.

 

[infinikitten]

I'm terrible and planted a bunch of bush starters all packed inside a fence together. And then I was surprised when they died, despite knowing about the tree-planting "rules" and stuff like that. /facepalm

I still crush snowballs though. STILL.

 

[Ami]

Crushing snowballs and eating perfect fruit

 

[TofuIdol]

Eating fruit that I now know is perfect, and time traveling so far into the future to only regret seeing my town withered in weeds.

 

[dr4gonite]

Bullying the villagers and eating all the fruit in fear that I'd starve if I didn't.

Haha this reminded me of when I first started playing GC, I thought my character was some sort of the dog because the pink hair under the girls' hats reminded me of dog ears. XD
