• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

The one year challenge

8C I'd love landscaping. Unfortunately I return to university today so I probably won't be online until much later

Club lLOL opened today.

Huzzah for being able to show feelings

Mine opened today too! My first emote is 'sleepy'..bit rubbish but better than being an emotionless zombie!

Yesterday I caught a coelacanth and a stringfish, my major achievements of the last few days, lol. I also got a few more PWPs (stone tablet, stadium light and yield sign), finished arranging my flowers and getting quite a few hybrids each day. I also have three jacob's ladders now, yey!

Portia got adopted today, and I hope to replace her with Queenie in the near future. I did a few trades on Sunday and got some neat furniture and a few odds and ends. I actually got my 20% catalog badge in the process too. Today I got my silver gardening badge, so that was good. I've been very lax with working towards badges, so any that I've gotten so far have been accidental. I probably won't actively work on any badges until I've gotten a lot more PWP requests.

Starting to feel like Taciturn is coming together now, although I have a lot of PWPs to unlock and trees to re-arrange and stuff. But I'm not in any hurry! :D
 
I've started a tumblr about this challenge :3 if anyone wants to see it its here

Anyway, I can go to the island as of today so I'm planning on doing some hug hunting tonight! I've also paid off the campsite, enacted the beautiful town ordinance and discovered Jeremiah's plot. And it's only half four!

Club LOL opened. Kicks opened yesterday I think.

I totally forgot that Opal is celebrating her birthday today. :/ I didn't get her a present but maybe I give her something if I play more today. This is already the second birthday I forgot in my new town. I'm a good friend, aren't I? :D

Charlise is moving out today! That means I'll get a new move in soon, yay! The bad news is that I didn't get any hybrids today. Probably because it snowed yesterday. On the other hand, I did manage to catch a coelacanth! I think it was my first one ever.

Someone else who is super late, but here we go:


In all honesty, I won't be following the rules of this challenge 100% given that I'm transferring some things and I'll obviously do some TT'ing to catch up to the current date. Oh, and I'll be plot-resetting. It would drive me crazy not to, so yeah. ^_~

However, I do plan to play for one year and once I'm on the current date, I'll stop TT'ing. I'm also going to try to complete all four museum collections this time. In my previous town, I completed the art and fossils ones, but I never really bothered with the fish and insects. x_x

I'll post an update later and I'll also try to get a decent picture of my map. And I'd also like to thank Trickilicky again for all her help and advice. You've made me really want to play again and you're super sweet. You rock! <3

Some info about my town; it has a blue train station and apples as a native fruit (those two were the only things I really wanted). It has lots of space and I'm very happy with it. I did have my doubts about it for a while, but Trickilicky gave me some ideas and I think I can really make this town work (something I somehow couldn't do with my previous one).

Starting villagers are Filbert, Deena, Vic, Purrl and Bill. Next to move in will be Pashmina (took me forever to make her plot show up, fortunately it's in a good place!). So currently six villagers, which means three more to go. I have to say I really like Filbert; he's cute and adorable. He got a brown shirt/vest from Purrl today and it looks so good on him. I'll have to remember to get a picture of that! ^_^

Aww I just saw this <3 <3 You rock yourself lady! ^_^ I enjoyed my little trip to Paradise on Sunday, you've got a fab map with tons of potential, and I think you'll have a brilliant year in your new town! PS. I vote Taciturn and Paradise should become twinned towns <3 haha
 
After about a day of thinking I decided that I really wasn't happy with Olympus and so I decided to reset.
You're now looking at mayor Aubrey of Forest :)
I also changed my tumblr url since I'm no longer mayor Ambrosia. My new tumblr url for the challenge is now town-of-forest.

Native fruit: Apples
Villagers: Chester, Sally, Violet, Flip, and Merry
Snow Pattern: Star
Train Station & Town Hall: Blue and Green, respectively

I figured that since I originally started the challenge on the 1st I might as well start this version on the first as well.. plus after TT'ing and such I'll be totally caught up lol

I'm finally doing some town planning in Propolis. I don't have a permanent path down yet so I'm using placeholders for now.

The great thing about having a fairly cramped map is that it's quick and easy to path without leaving too many awkward unpathed areas. Too much space was what drove me nuts about my last map. On the downside, I have no idea where a Cafe would go. There's simply no room.
 
You guys are crazy with the resetting again and Again since each time the master post has to be redone LOL
