The one year challenge

I didn't have enough bells either. And I got the Dream Suite and i'm gonna donate it all.

This week i'm gonna bug hunt every night so I can get turnips.

And she sold for 107. Ouch.
 
Also, here's her unfinished story (I oughta tweak it a bit):

So basically, she's an escaped murder convict (man, originality. But not everybody can be a sociopath, unfortunately.) and while escaping the authorities, she ran and leaped onto a moving train. While she managed to get onto the train, she hit her head and now suffers amnesia. Deciding to get off at Fresh, she instantly became the mayor. She has violent tendencies and anger problems (from the events before her amnesia), and for some reason she is determined to turn the town into the ultimate dictatorship.
 
She sold to me for 90 :eek:
Bought 2 closet spaces full. Hopefully I have another good turnip week >___< PLS keep me posted on your prices!
 
I thought I lost everything because after I saved I went to the home menu and took the cartridge out while suspending the software. I put it back on but nothing was gone, phew. :)
 
So far, today I:

-got the Silver Rod
-unlocked Elite tours
-redecorated my main floor room to be more like a living room/den
-celebrated the building of a new bridge
-got a third museum room; at this rate, I'll need to make new characters to house my items [/hoarder]
-Also, I unlocked Cyrus a few days ago and have been customizing tons of furniture.

She sold for 105 today.
She sold for 107 in my town last week, and 109 today. It's fine, I wouldn't have had enough bells for the Dream Suite anyway if I had gone and dumped it all on Joan.

Also, I went back to the island to do some solo tours and finish off my 400-medal goal. I only have about 2 more tours to go for that (spamming the Elite Scavenger Tour). I'm alternating between tours, beetle hunting and diving. I'd try and go for 600 medals but then I'd be up till midnight and that ain't happening.

I'm trying to get the Giant Isopod, but it's not going well. I'm only 6 deep-sea creatures away from completing the encyclopedia, most of them are out of season.
 
Slow and steady wins the race ;)

With all the visiting back and forth in our towns, it probably won't be long before we start getting tourist/host badges too. I never could get those in my previous towns.

I've been spamming the Elite Scavenger Tour too, when I was almost at 300 I took a break and get more next time I go to medalquest. I found a Giant Isopod earlier.

The Gold will take us like a month or 2 if we keep doing medalquest.

I have the bronze host badge and I gotten the Train Station Upgrades without even knowing!

That's why I wanted to make Medalquest a thing in the first place. By cutting up a huge chore into more manageable chunks, getting to 5000 will be a breeze. Especially if we do so at least partially with others.

Assuming we get 200 medals a day it'll take 25 days. Obviously it won't be 25 consecutive days unless you don't mind chugging at those low-medal tours, but it's still totally doable.

Update: Just got the Giant Isopod.

Where can you check how many medals you have?
EDIT; Oh! I was thinking of Gold/Silver/Bronze Tortimers -- not the Island currency. :p

Just talk to Grams, or go check the price of an item in the souvenir shop.

You don't. Tortimer will tell you if you got bronze/silver/gold but it's more of a point ranking system like Rank A, Rank B, etc. You don't actually get Tortimer trophies or anything like that.

It's amazing how much I've forgotten -- not having played in nearly a year. xD
I'm glad I discovered TBT to keep me motivated playing again.

Thanks!

Oh, alright then. How many medals you can have are either 999 or I think 9,999.

How did you unlock the museum so quickly? :0 I thought it was 14 days as mayor? D8 I've donated so much and still no Museum 2F expansion. Given him like 20 bugs, at least 10 fish, a bunch of fossils, and 2 artworks

I started on December 20 and didn't want to reset so soon after just having reset, so I'm breaking the first rule of this. However, I do plan on playing every day for a year {hopefully}. I donated a bunch of stuff before I finally got the PWP; it took a while. Also, Club LOL is supposed to be opening sometime; I got all the signatures last week.

Phew!
I thought something was wrong with my game! Thanks for the response :) I'm dying to get the museum 2f!
 
I completely forgot to write a little update for yesterday on here.. oh well, tbh nothing really happened.

Can't wait for T&T Mart to soon be here! I'll finally be able to stop hoarding all of my clothing and stuff lol.

I also got the Dream Suite PwP which I paid for straight away. The dream suit's been pretty much the only thing I've been intensely wanting since I started this challenge, now I can attempt to plan my town out more!

Kick's is also being built which is great because it's another step towards being able to change my hair and eye colour, and also so I can finally change my shoes and socks.

QR machine finally also opened up and I spent a little bit trying to find something nice for my mayor to wear, though it was hard since my bright pink shoes clashed with pretty much everything I enjoyed and it annoyed me a lot.

I managed to save enough medals to get Club Tortimer and spent some time island hopping for cool things but after 20 or so islands of nothing I gave up for the day.

I also made a new town flag, though I dont really like all that much to be honest. It's suppose to be Koromaru from the Persona franchise but it turned out kind of odd so yeah... Also first snowfall in Olympus!!

Maelle also decided to move out of Olympus. I never really talked to her or even seen her around town that much so I decided to let her leave.
