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.
If I remember rightly, a lot of the ACWW events are really small and don’t involve much. I do like how it makes the game a little different, though 🙂
Just letting you know this: If you make another character Nook will have sale days every so often, you don’t have to play on the extra character after you go though the Nook tutorial, just as long as you have a second character nooks shop will have sales once in a while
