The one year challenge

[Capeet]

Yeah, I thought about going tulips this time, but I wasn't totally sold on it. Maybe I'll wait and see what I come up with for the rest of the town first.

Oooh, a color theme! My other town has that too, with blue, pink and purple roses. I think that's why I thought I might go for roses this time too, but with different colors. I know orange and yellow work well, and so do black and red. I guess I'll just have to wait haha.

Black, white and blue sounds really pretty though! ^^

Yeah, you should definitely wait if you're not sure yet. Do you have a theme in mind for your town?
I have to say that the combination of pink, purple and blue roses sounds reeeaaally amazing! If you have a DA for your town, I'd love to visit it when I get the Dream Suite. A town full of those flowers sounds really cool!
I also like the idea of black and red roses.

I just dreamed of your town! I really love what you've done with it (peaches! so many peaches! LOL). <3 I also like all the details, like how Gallade and Tricky have the same hair and clothes colors as their houses. ^_^ I went to your campsite and it's amazing! The mushrooms and such work very well; great job! <3

Aww thank you for dreaming of Cinnabar! I'm so glad you liked it (and my glorious golden buttfruit peach orchard), thank you for the kind words, it means a lot <3 I wonder if any of my villagers will be talking about you when I play next I hope they do! hehe.

Oh, I didn't talk to your villagers. Should I have done that for them to mention me? I'm not exactly sure how that works, actually. ^_^'

Oh God, please don't let them talk about me, because I kinda accidentally hit your koala one on the head with a toy hammer that was lying on one of your bridges. I swear, I didn't do it on purpose! x_x

Hey all, hope you're having a great day! I'm getting busy again now the Xmas/New Years lull has gone, lol. I'm going to check in with my towns soon, but not much to do til I get the island tomorrow.

I totally agree that we should hangout when we're settled in! I love going to the island to play games with a group, and we get more medals if everyone pitches in, and more medals means more STUFF to buy!

I like the flag you picked Lovichu! So cute ^_^ I will take a pic of my flag when I remember, ugh. For anyone who's thinking of making a flag, I personally used >THIS< to make mine. It means you can do really detailed flags quite easily (as long as you have the patience for it!). It takes a little while to copy pics out, but it's really worth while imo, I was impressed with the design I tried, although I want to do a few more in the near future.

THAT is a wonderful little tool. I wish I had known about it sooner. Thanks for sharing! Just made my flag using it.

I don't have a DA for that town yet, no. Mostly because it's not done yet, and I'm kind of redoing a lot of stuff too. Had a few villagers move out and haven't really done anything with the blank spaces yet. Waiting to get a few more dreamies before deciding where to put specific stuff.

I paid my down payment when I finally could catch Nook open for once and my approval rating is around 60% at this point.

 

[Hyasynth]

I finally got 100% approval! I'm adding a second bridge first thing tomorrow.

Also, I just found something interesting.

Spoiler

I was trying to find this one Animal Crossing horror story where the mayor is trapped and writing diary entries. I got off course and started reading analyses of horror dream towns. While reading I realized something.

My town's map is very similar to that of Aika Village.

Paid off my loan and upgraded my house. Also got a 100% approval. Think I'm gonna do a bridge first.

So many things have happened in Olympus today! I forgot how exciting new towns can be haha

Spoiler: all the new things

First off I got to meet Lyle today, and my house is going to be upgraded.

I also managed to get 100% on my aproval rating after watering some flowers.

I got to meet Tortimer and the island should be available tommorrow which will help a lot.

I also finally got to meet Marshal. I can see why so many people like him, he's adorable!

Love the face you chose for your mayor! I actually chose the same one, I think it's cute. I rarely see people using it though.. they usually go for the sparkly eyes or the basic AAA eyes. Nice to see another mayor with those eyes ^^

Good luck with your town and nice to see everything is going well! I am also looking forward to having the island tomorrow c:

I have the same eyes in my main town. Y'all know what face I have for this challenge.

 

[Delibird]

Wow, I'm actually finding it really hard to not TT in this challenge... Like I just want everything right now! I know patience will pay off though! In other news, Mathilda is going to be my 6th villager. I'm not quite sure how I feel, I've never had a kangaroo villager either. Seems like my new town is one of many firsts I'm also stuck at a 64% approval rating which is somewhat annoying, I really forgot how long this all takes!

I'm stuck at 45%, haha. It seems too low to be the end of my second day! D:

 

[Paperboy012305]

I was so lucky enough to reach 100% approval rating the day I started to work on my development permit.

 

[Punchyleaf]

I'm done with snowmam. I've been at this all day and I'm close to breaking a mil already. She is way too OP. Also glad all my trees are growing. Decided to plant them regularly since I've noticed villagers tend to move into your more organized areas.
Apple is moving in tomorrow, and Punchy moved in today. He picked a plot near me but not too close, which is fine because I wanted him to be my only neighbor Lol. Apple set her plot right behind my house about 10 spaces or so back. Gonna spend tonight relaxed and just catching new fish. Thankfully caught that dang mole cricket so I can ignore all the noise.

 

[X2k5a7y]

That is wonderful news! Can you tell us a bit more about her? Perhaps even post a picture?

Spoiler: Chloe

Her name is Chloe. She's a Great Pyrenees/Labrador Retriever mix...She's a pain, but I love her. She already somewhat knows "sit". I'm working on "lay down" and potty training her, which is the pain part, lol.

OOOOOHHHHHHH my GoOdnESS!! She is the most adorable little angel ;o;

Spoiler: pictures

i started! i cheated a little bit because i was busy on the first, so i bumped the day back one so i could plant the tree on that day then put it forward one again, but i dont think i gained any unfair advantage from that. i only just got 100% citizen satisfaction today so tomorrow i'll be able to start thinking about pwps, does anyone have any suggestions for where i should put my campsite?

i had fuchsia move in yesterday which is lovely! she's not my favourite ever but i love all deer so im glad she moved in because i dont love any of my starting villagers, although tipper's kinda cute! and then this morning marshal put down a plot haha. i dont understand all the fuss and attention he gets, though i think he's very cute he's not near like top 10 material for me, so perhaps when he naturally wants to move on i'll try to learn how the whole villager trading thing works!

i've not been an egregious time traveler or anything in the past, and ive never had a town that i stuck with for ages and really worked on with pwp's and museum collections and villager portraits and stuff, so that's what i'm going to aim to do with this challenge! ive also never gotten into all the stuff that everyone around here seems to know really well like complex flower breeding and stuff. tomorrow i should have access to the island and hopefully be able to start building things and i'll see how it grows from there u_u i look forward to seeing which peppy villager moves in in the next? two days? i cant remember when the next move in is due. i'm thinking of making a sideblog for stuff related to this on tumblr, if anyone would like to share theirs i'd love to take a look

 

[Lancelot]

I'm gonna change the date on mine to the first and join in. I won't time travel, I will just do it to the 4th next year.

I'm excited to take part in this!

 

[Trickilicky]

Hey guyyyyysss! A quickie this morning, I gotta actually get out of my pjs and into real clothes as we're visiting family all day. I'm gonna check who my 7th villager is in Taciturn, and a take a few pics to post up later!

I hope you've all had a great weekend so far in your new towns, I'm loving all the pics and updates (and the puppy photo..omg), it sounds like we're all really going for it and making a great start! Question though: does anyone wander around their new town and think "What the heck am I going to do with all this space?!". Because I do! Even though I have some ideas, I don't see how I can fill up all this space, lol. Maybe I'm used to my main town, everything else seems massive

Welcome to the new challengers! I hope you have a fab year in your new towns, and please keep us updated with any news and pics you'd like to share, we love 'em

Hope to catch up with you all later, have a good Sunday, hey and maybe next week we can arrange some island play-dates? That'd be awesome ^_^
