The one year challenge

[Campy]

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.

Oh my God, puppy! So adorable. I remember the pain of potty training our labrador when she was still a puppy, but it's so worth it since they'll end up being your best and most loyal friend for many many years. <3

Aaand I just wanted to say best of luck to everyone who took on this challenge! Glad to see this thread has stayed alive and is being put to good use.

Aw, she's so cute! <3 I have a Labrador as well. He's seven years old, seems like forever ago when he was a puppy, LOL.

Okay guys, I know I said I wouldn't do this challenge but I'm really tempted to now. The resetting bug has bit again and honestly I'm not really enjoying playing the game anymore. I got into the TT habit last year when I didn't have a lot of time to play but it's really not as fun. I don't really care about losing items or even the bells that much it's just the dreamies but plot resetting for them was such a pain, I think it would be good for me to stop doing that. So yeah do you guys think I should join you? Or am I too late?

 

[BlooBelle]

That puppy is so cute! I just want to hug her. <3

You can join if you're interested! It doesn't matter that you aren't on the first, we'll all welcome you. The challenge has been really fun so far. C:

Uhh... are you still allowed to partake if your copy corrupts and you have to start over? My copy is saying that my file can't be found or something like that o.o

 

[Megan.]

I don't see why you can't start over if it corrupts. c;

Spoiler: Macaron update > w<

After getting 100% approval rating yesterday, Isabelle tells me that she has received permission for me to begin developing the town~ As soon as I got on I placed a new bridge down, I now need to pay it off.. hopefully this will be done by today. D;

As I was walking around my town I see that I have another villager plot, this time it's for Tammy! I looked her up and she's pretty cute and her birthday is the day after mine haha. Her house isn't in the best place ever but meh, I can live with it.

I can't wait to see who my 8th villager will be. n_n

I got to meet my 6th villager Croque today, he's actually pretty awesome, I'm taking a shine to him. c;

I also got my first few hybrids this morning, they where all orange. (1x pansy, 2x cosmos and 1x rose)

 

[cIementine]

Guess I'll be starting over! ;A; It's a shame, I was on 78% and had paid off my home.

 

[BlooBelle]

Spoiler: Quick morning update!

Mott moved in! He's pretty cute in person, I plan to just take his sloppy furniture and let him go. I'm a terrible mayor. XD

Should I spend my 33000 bells on Joan or wait until I get more money to start buying turnips?

I guess I didn't need to put that in a spoiler. w/e

Are you using a digital copy of the game? If so your SD card might be giving you trouble. You should probably use a different one.

Day 4 in Termina! Lets see what happened today.

Spoiler: Yeah what did happen?

Alice will be our new resident, shes fine really.

The Yellow Bench PWP is completed

Yeah that's pretty much it

Sorry no bonus pics today.​

 

[Mr. L]

Deirdre moved in yesterday. Never had her in my town before, but she seems pretty nice.

 

[X2k5a7y]

Okay.
I'm going to join in.
Four days late.
I won't be able to be super active in my town for a while, because ugh responsibilities, but I'm still gonna have a go at it, anyway.
Now, time to search for a town that I deem decent, while the puppy sleeps.
Using my free time wisely.

 

[Mr. L]

And this is why I plot reset

 

[Capeet]

This is pretty much everything from me today. I enacted the beautiful town ordinance and donated Bells for my first PWP. I'll have a new cobblestone bridge tomorrow. My 7th move in will be Tex who placed his plot right in my mayor's yard. Also, I'm very exited that the island opens tomorrow! Gotta do some serious beetle hunting.

I'll post an in-game picture of my town map tomorrow. (I know it might be a bit late for that but yeah!) I already know where I'll put the Cafe, but that's about it. I just realized that there isn't as much free space as I would have wanted but otherwise I'm very with my map atm.

- - - Post Merge - - -

And this is why I plot reset

Ouch. I'm scared that something like that'll happen to me too. Quite probable. Are you going to keep that bridge in the same place as it is now?
Deirdre is such a sweetie, though. I hope you'll enjoy having her in your town.

 

[Dewy]

Anyone have an orange they could give me? I'll trade you an apple if you want. :3

Peck just asked for an orange to soothe his muscles, but unfortunately the orange trees aren't done growing around here ;-;

Sorry no bonus pics today.​

Alice is a cutie! I would have loved to get her. ;_;
I sort of regret not plot resetting at least once to get someone more tolerable than Peaches but it's not in the spirit of this challenge so I'll deal

And this is why I plot reset

This happened in my last town. It was Buck.
I was pissed.

 

[Paperboy012305]

And this is why I plot reset

I was a victim as well. Dizzy moved in next to my bridge.

Ahh, Alice is adorable, she's been living in my main town since October 2013, I love her to bits. I hope you enjoy having her in Termina! Congrats on completing your first PWP! I hope to finish paying off my second bridge today so I can knock down the old one and build a couple more. I love Dizzy too (sorry to hear he didn't plot well!), your town sounds like it's coming along really nicely so far imo! ^_^

Good luck! Keep us updated when you make your new town, hope you find something you like ^_^

And this is why I plot reset

LOL, this is one of the things I'm dreading. Not plot-resetting is so hard Sorry you got a bridge-blocker, who is it? Glad you're having fun with Deirdre anyway, the inside of her house looks like it'll be pretty decent too, deer has taste!

Thanks for the updates, it sounds like your town is coming along really nicely so far! I've had Tex in my main town since Summer 2013, I love him to bits, he's so great! Sorry he didn't plot well though, but hope you like him while he's in your town I'm totally with you on the beetle hunting thing, I'm off to do that soon as Kapp'n turned up here today!

Haha, poor Peck's been over-doing it eh? I have a spare if you still need one

I totally understand this..I got Hans today..sigh. I mean, he plotted fantastically, can't complain about that, but..ugh. But as you say, in the spirit of the challenge, I'll take it as it comes.

Okkkay here's a Taciturn update for the last couple days:

Spoiler: Taci stuff

Yesterday I struck a deal with someone in an ACNL FB group, I traded them my DLC from the post office and some fortune cookie stuff, and they gave me all fruits, some bells, and let me shop to my hearts content in their Main Street. So I picked up some furniture, clothes, a couple of Gracie shoes (couldn't afford anything else, haha), a fab QR code dress from their Able's, and I got a haircut too. I chose the random choice as I figured that might be a OYC kind of thing, and ended up with pink hair (never had before) and also a style I'd never had before. I've been wearing an eye patch since Day 2 as it was randomly in my shop, but I actually really love it, so I'll come up with some mad headcanon of my Mayor, like she's an ex-pirate or a smuggler or lost an eye in a knife fight with a bear or something. Sly came to visit today and we hung out in my tiny room. I won't be upgrading any time soon, I'm more bothered about paying for PWPs at the mo.



I also changed my flag properly. I want a moon-design flag, ideally with a forest feel, but this one will do for now until I have the time to do a more complicated design. My town tune is a few bars of 'Super Rad!' by The Aquabats! <3



Phoebe moved in yesterday and she's been wandering around today. She seems really fab, but as I don't know what I'm going to do with that area of my town yet, I don't know if I'll keep her. At least she's popular and I can get some $$$ when she moves if I'm lucky! Unfortunately, my 7th villager has proven to be less than great..I found Hans' plot today! I don't like the gorilla villagers, they freak me out a bit, and Hans has always looked super creepy to me, lol. But as I said before, in the spirit of the challenge I'll take what I get, and be nice to him while he's living here. I've never had him before so at least I'll be getting a true new neighbour. He also plotted excellently, exactly next to Sly, in the top left of my map on a thin bit of land that I actually hoped more neighbours would move to.

I enacted the Beautiful Ordinance (phew, no more watering, can't be bothered to work on hybrids yet either!). I also went around placing bridges to see where I would be able to place them for future reference. Turns out I put my house right in the way of three possible locations for a third bridge..yey me..!? I was p!ssed at first, but then I realise that I'd hardly ever use a bridge in that part of town, and the second bridge wasn't actually far from the location anyway. I always do this though, I'm terrible at placing Mayor's houses >< I did place a new bridge on the other side of my map, and hopefully tomorrow my new suspension bridge will be done! I'm going to knock down the original bridge and move it a little to the right, then build a third, THEN build a camp site. Of course I need the bells first...so off to the island I go!

Thanks for the updates, it sounds like your town is coming along really nicely so far! I've had Tex in my main town since Summer 2013, I love him to bits, he's so great! Sorry he didn't plot well though, but hope you like him while he's in your town I'm totally with you on the beetle hunting thing, I'm off to do that soon as Kapp'n turned up here today!

Tex looks adorable in your signature! I'm interested in seeing what I'm going to think about him. I haven't met him before this. I'm glad he didn't move right in front of my house, though, so I'm not overly upset about it. It would just be nice to get even one villager soon that I like already.
Seems like your town is getting along well too! Good luck with your beetle hunting! PWPs will be a bit easier to afford now, yay!
