As I started up the game tonight, a message confirmed that today is Yay Day. This is one of the few events exclusive to Animal Crossing: Wild World, and this was my first time participating.
Kiki, who lives near me, was the first villager I met up with. She asked for a compliment and I said “you’re purrfect.” She repeated it back, so I realized I should have written it in first person, not second person.
She didn’t understand what I meant by it, but she appreciated it all the same.
Next, I ran into Bill. What could I say that’s nice about Bill? Hmm… Ultimately, I told him to say “I’m a duck.” That’s the closest thing to a compliment I could tell him without lying. 😉
He said it was a weak compliment, but he accepted it anyway. Not that he had much choice.
I went into Biskit’s house and saw that his belongings are still packed up in boxes. So he hasn’t left yet, but he hasn’t unpacked either. So once again, I told him to stick around. He didn’t appreciate me telling him what to do, and he said he can make his own decisions because he’s a man. Really?
After selling some stuff at Nookway, I bumped into Static. He didn’t seem to be in a “yay” mood, because he called me a freakoid and a raging fathead. For no reason!
Just for that, he gets no Yay Day compliment from me. I called him a nut-hungry freak. I normally like the guy, but he’s being a jerk today.
When Yuka asked for a compliment, I told her she’s a monster. She actually enjoyed hearing that! Apparently she’s so evil that just being called a monster sounds nicer than what she’s used to hearing. 😉
Outside, I gave Baabara a compliment too. I called her a fluffy demon. It was so nice that it made her blush.
When I visited my newest neighbor Puddles, I wasn’t sure what to tell her. But I tried to find something nice to say about her, so I told her at least she’s not Jambette.
Chevre was next, and I considered complimenting her for having a nice table. But that’s not personal enough. So I reminded her that at least she doesn’t chew cans.
After that, I went to town hall to make another 25,000 bell mortgage payment. Then, I returned home for the night.
As for my impressions of my first Yay Day, well, it’s a bit underwhelming. You give compliments to all of your villagers, but that’s all there is to it. It’s really not a big deal. But at least it’s something different I haven’t experienced in the other games, I guess. And that’s the best compliment I can give it.
