I spy in the corner of my eye a....Jacob's Ladder? It has begun. Time to maintain perfection for 15 days. Good thing I paid off the lighthouse then.

And I fucked up and read Ricky's time capsule >_>. Ooops *shrug*

And I will pass Gracie's 3rd Fashion Check in no time later today. It pays to buy all the clothing and accessories everyday

 

[Niraj]

Heartless bastard.

Should've just accepted the compliment :]

I had no idea there was a list of favorite items till your last post about him. Barold will be pretty easy to please.

Leaving that one alone.

I've got that beat, I have had two villager birthdays this week (nobody shows up, even Pete) and then Pete the other 3 days.

This has been a pretty dull week in my town in terms of visitors. ~___~

That's pretty lame. At least you had some happy villagers though.

 

[Philia]

I know To be honest, I kinda grew tired of him. He was the first one to give me his picture AND tell me that Muffy was moving though. But I've had him for 75 days now (since the beginning), so I'm itching for someone new at this point.

But he's adorable. I hope someone is willing to give him a loving home.

I'll take him! (YES, I'll fucking TT if I have to.)

My dream town is closer to completion. Right now I have Rosie (peppy), Marshal (smug), Del (Cranky), and Soleil (Snooty). I definitely want to get Molly (second normal), Biskit (Lazy), and eventually Pashmina (Uchi) and Rudy (Jock). Once I get enough PWPs from Del or Soleil, I'll trade them up for more normals (Gayle, Tia, Gala, etc).

 

[Koomaster]

That's pretty lame. At least you had some happy villagers though.

True enough.

Looking at my calendar looks like I'll have four villager birthdays within a month.

Gloria's was on Aug. 12th
Lopez' was this past Tuesday the 20th
Nana's is today
Peewee's is on Sept. 11th.

Then I won't have any for a couple months unless someone new moves in who has one coming up sooner.

Wow. I had Lionel's last month and that's all. Groucho Oct 23rd and Sparro Nov 20th are my next two, rest are next year I think.

 

[MicH]

I've only ever been to Blaire's birthday (literally a day or two after she moved in lol), and I think Marshal's is next

 

[Semajer]

I've got Katie if anyone wants her.

 

[Philia]

Yeah. Marshal's on the Sept 29th.

My other villager, Bubbles (brown peppy hippo urgh) is on the 18th of Sept. That could change if she moved out first.

 

[Levi]

I wanted the villager who shared my birthday, so I looked it up... Stitches. Lol, that's gonna be tough to get.

Kind of feel like I'm done building this town. Sure, I'll take a Moai statue or a pyramid, but things are feeling kind of complete. Would love some feedback or just appreciation for the hard work. Hope you enjoy it if you dream of my town!

That's who I share the same birthday with. Eh, could be a whole lot worse I guess.

 

[MicH]

I share mine with Leonardo who's pretty awesome. I actually had him in my TT town. If I ever get him again I might replace Snake with him

 

[Niraj]

I share mine with nobody

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

MicH, hopefully I'll be able to show up and catalog this afternoon. As soon as I posted last night about wanting to catalog, work called and then later on my phone broke, just a crazy night. So hopefully tonight at 5:30 or so (central) I'll be able to hop on over!

 

[Elija2]

Hmmm, just learned that rare mushrooms only spawn in perfect towns. Now I have to keep it perfect until I get at least one. :/

Didn't know this. I guess I still have a perfect town despite demolishing PWPs, chopping trees, and letting weeds grow. This game must be really lenient in that aspect.

I visited!

1. That terrible layout. :\
2. Nice grass, but no paths, no path making bushes?
3. Even got junky trees too. Glad to see you got perfect pear trees up and running. No specified orchard though.
4. Lmao money trees. Well this is the first for me to see. Well so far, each one made 90k bag (3 30k bags). So if you planted a 99k bag, that's a loss.
5. Good job on getting the villagers you wanted I think.
6. Good job on getting the Train Station remodeled.
7. 3x3 fountain in front of the diagonal bridge is uh... yeah.

I like diagonal bridges but I hate how the tiled paths look from those though.

 

[kamikazekoala]

Ok, I have these sets to catalogue:

7/11
Pavé
Sweets
Cardboard
Flower
Fish
Egg
Mush
Ice

Anyone interested? I have to clean up my town first and I am not sure if I can lay all those sets at once, so it could take an hour or more...

Edit: all sets are non orderable, just you know...

 

[pariah164]

Did Chadders ever fucking moved out? Irc he was your problem to your bridge.

Meanwhile, Rocket's STILL here. Barold's moving out on the 25th, so I'll be able to get Molly moved in.

I guess I'll try to talk to Rocket a lot more and see if I can encourage her to GTFO. I know Galactic Fork wants her.

IDK D: As I said, I am skurred to boot up my game again.

 

[bluepolicebox]

3. Even got junky trees too.

You're a harsh critic. What are "junky trees?"

 

[MicH]

I also visited, Wheelhoss. You're going for different sections of town with different themes, or? Three different type if bridges, a lot of Zen PWPs bear each other, yet there's a solar panel there too. A little confusing.

I like your hybrids. Very pretty. But overall Ai feel the town is kinda barren. No orchards, flower beds and the PWPs seem scattered around at random. Very awesome villagers though! Great job on that.

But it's a fun town to explore for sure.

Def interested in a few 7/11, sweets, and cardboard to be specific. I think the others are relatively easy to get during their respective times? I'm honestly clueless, so enlighten me

 

[Philia]

You're a harsh critic. What are "junky trees?"

Junky trees are island fruit and other fruit besides your perfect native fruit that serves absolutely NO purpose but to satisfy a villager's request. I strongly suggest to just keep ONE of each, no more than that. More than that and scattered about, its an ugly decoration and a waste of space when it could be useful for pwps or paths or gardens. Cedars are only nice around xmas time too, quite limited use there. Non fruit trees can turn into cherry blossoms during spring, but that's a limited time too.

But yes, I'm a harsh critic, I'll admit that. I always say so when I go to people's towns to help them out with their gardens and spot their problems. I don't, as Niraj puts it, "beat around the bush".

 

[pariah164]

Okay, so. Assessment after three weeks:

- Chadders is still here; Tabby moved out. Goddamn it. At least I still have Margie.
- ALL THE WEEDS.
- Some hybrids have died, but my Perfect Orchard is still intact, so I'm not too broken up about that. BEST MAYOR.
- Epic Bedhead. Immediately fixing at Shampoodle. I need to look neat dammit.

 

[Niraj]

To be fair, I believe we both said the exact same thing at the same time, so I don't know if I should be credited. I do feel bad for subjecting you to my town's horrors on occasion

Spoiler

not too bad

So trees that are used to lay out a town rather than bushes are junky? Fruit trees are perfectly good decoration. Although, I agree some of the island fruits look hideous. In my opinion, bushes and patterned paths look junky. Who's right, eh?

LOL, I keep my mouth shut when I'm visiting to people's towns that don't request for my garden service. Including yours, Niraj.

Lol. I actually did a ton of revamping yesterday, but decided I didn't like it and reset maybe someday...

He's right.

I like my different fruit trees and cedars. They don't make money but they do add a little variety and look nice so I guess I'll settle for having an junky and ugly town. Please nobody visit and shame me.

 

[Koomaster]

LOL, you must have hated my town whenever you visited. I got the junky trees everywhere in no real orchards. Just randomly planted. ^____^;;;

Just recently planted a whole row of every non native fruit tree beside my house.
Lemon, Pear, Apple, Peach, Cherry, Durian, Mango, Lychee all in a row.

 

[MicH]

TARANTULA WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU

Oh, and here is my Dream Code: 6900-2174-3954

Please check my town! I'm still working on it. Need some bushes still and the area around Beau's house is still heavily under construction. But other than that I'm pretty happy!

 

[Ellix]

It seems like a lot, but almost all of these are still available year-round on the tropical island.
Important ones are the Tarantula, Giant Snakehead, and perhaps the Killifish and Frog in the easily forgotten small ponds.

Totally gonna miss all those cicadas, am I right??? Hint:

Spoiler

I'm not

 

[Elija2]

Just randomly got a gold rose in my town. Guess I didn't know I had a black rose and I watered it when it was wilted.

I think I'm done escorting Katie to other towns. I wish there was a way to get her to stop showing up.

 

[bluepolicebox]

TARANTULA WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU

Behind you.

I still haven't gotten one either. I was bitten once and have only seen it on the title screen otherwise. My next few nights are going to be dedicated to hunting one down.

 

[Chopper]

Don't worry, Chopper, I still hate your trees.

Ha ha. I know man. And you cray. My town is fucking awesome.

 

[Seigyoku]

Behind you.

I still haven't gotten one either. I was bitten once and have only seen it on the title screen otherwise. My next few nights are going to be dedicated to hunting one down.

I have:

1. Seen one early in, went HUH? and it poofed before I got net out.
2. Had one notice me with net out, knew I wasn't ready, so I ran to main street screaming.
3. At least twice have had them startle me, but suicide as I got net out.
4. At least twice have found them, screamed, got net out, JUST IN TIME FOR THEM TO TURN AROUND, me miss, and they get me.

Did I mention I am TERRIFIED of spiders????? *shudder*

I just want to catch one, turn it in and then NEVER THINK ABOUT THEM AGAIN.

(I also still need a scarab beetle, which I swear I've seen only ONCE on the worst tree... but in theory I still have shot at them on the island as I still have my middle trees...)

Also unrelated, I'm sure Phyllia would scream if she saw my town and it's flower infestation and trees from hell and did I mention I don't even have Beautiful Town up?

 

[bluepolicebox]

I just want to catch one, turn it in and then NEVER THINK ABOUT THEM AGAIN.

Yeah, I haven't been looking as hard as I could have. I'd rather not see them at all.

 

[Koren]

4. Lmao money trees. Well this is the first for me to see. Well so far, each one made 90k bag (3 30k bags). So if you planted a 99k bag, that's a loss.

They're always giving 3x 30k. The amount of k buried gives you the % of success as far as I know (99k means 99% success).

So it's a gambling game, and you'll lose at the end (you can expect 0.9 bell for each bell planted) except if you can change the success ratio using in-game luck.

I like diagonal bridges but I hate how the tiled paths look from those though.

There's so many problems each time you want something diagonal...

I need 17 tiles for my paths, and you have to be clever to hide all the small problems.

Junky trees are island fruit and other fruit besides your perfect native fruit that serves absolutely NO purpose but to satisfy a villager's request.

And town design

I'm keeping all the fruits in my town because I like the colors and the variety. Same reason why I have a cedar grove, non-fruits trees, persimmon, bamboos (especially in the japanese part of my town), etc. I even keeps non-perfect native fruits.

I wouldn't be able to harvest a full town of perfect fruits, anyway. Even my ~35 perfect trees orchad isn't harvested twice a week. I currently have enough cash, and if there's the 100M savings objective, I think currently that it's too much work for too little reward.

But it's a matter of taste, at the end, anyway. I understand how people can prefer flower beds everywhere instead of small patch of trees.

 

[Elija2]

Only missing the giant snakehead. Also I somehow never donated a horned hercules to the museum.

 

[spindashing]

Wow, for the first time ever since release, I have everything in the Last Catch photo before I have to worry about missing them.

Still playing AC little by little. I see a few folks removed me from their lists but then again I didn't even recognize like 80% of them. :lol

 

[Chopper]

But it's a matter of taste, at the end, anyway. I understand how people can prefer flower beds everywhere instead of small patch of trees.

It's easy enough to combine the two, and have a "foresty" town full of awesome flower beds. Like mine.

 

[Marvie_3]

So trees that are used to lay out a town rather than bushes are junky? Fruit trees are perfectly good decoration. Although, I agree some of the island fruits look hideous. In my opinion, bushes and patterned paths look junky. Who's right, eh?

Agreed. Having dozens and dozens of the same tree is boring as hell to look at. The other fruits add nice color to everything.

 

[Frogstep]

Time to stock up on frogs! All of my villagers will have a frog in their homes.
They will have them and they will like it!

 

[kamikazekoala]

Okay, guys, in a few minutes I have the four Gracies sets and the birthday set...

Then I really will have to resort to wrapping everything to get it in the museum floors...

Damn. Maybe I should just make another alt for all that stuff...

 

[Bloodworth]

I'm letting this pineapple-faced guy move in tomorrow. Half-tempted to let my residents turn over until I have a nightmare-ville.

 

[MicH]

I've been scaring away bugs for the last two hours and all I've got to show for it is a suicidal scorpion.

Sigh

 

[Aveyn Knight]

Philia's town review is scaring me.

I like the honesty, but I dunno if I can handle the judgement after pouring so many hours into my town X D

Hiint: I have tons of random trees and junk.

If you're proud of what you've got, why sweat it? Mine's a piece of shit desert and I don't care. If you like it and you're having fun, that should be good enough for you, despite what anybody else says.

Yeah, that's true.

I probably won't change my trees despite what people say, because I think they're awesome.

I guess I'm just curious about how some pro town makers think about mine. Plus I do want some critique eventually : P

Nothing wrong with that, just don't let it get you down if you hear things you don't like I'm sure your town is great.

 

[Koren]

What does worth a judgement if it lacks honesty?

I may disagree with Philia on some choices, but I prefer an honest judgement to sweet talk.

That being said, it's a reason for me to delay sharing too much before I'm satisfied myself.
