Month: June 2011

As I started my game, I noticed the rain was pouring down in Forest. Chief may not have enjoyed that fact, but I did.

I made my rounds around town, and I noticed a big shadow in the river. That is always a good thing in City Folk, so I whipped out my fishing rod and caught it. A giant snakehead.

Later on, I also saw a flea jumping around on Bob. So I did him a favor and caught that also.

I went into Del’s house to say hello and he asked me to find some retro furniture for him. I wasn’t sure exactly what qualified as retro furniture, so I did a quick Google search and found a list. The cabana series was one thing on that list, and Nook happened to be selling a cabana lamp today. I bought it and took it to Del. He thanked me and gave me a Persian wall as a reward.

One new black rose appeared today, and several red roses, so that was good news. I dropped off some money for Scott and then switched characters.

I had Scott put some more hybrids in storage…his storage is almost completely full of hybrids now. Not to mention Guest’s storage is mostly hybrids too (except for a couple pages worth of candy), so I’m probably hoarding more hybrids than I will ever need.

If anyone that is currently on my friend roster wants some hybrids (excluding black/blue/gold roses), let me know what you want. I then had Scott use the money to pay off his house. Tom Nook said I’ll be getting a new floor tomorrow. I’m not sure how I’ll decorate it just yet, although I have some ideas in mind.

It was raining as the bus arrived in the city today, so my flowers should be good and no watering was necessary. I walked around town to check for new flowers. About 3 red roses popped up, which is good because I needed them to start replacing the ones that were lost. A black rose and a blue rose also popped up.

Later on, in the evening, I went to TZ’s town Hyrule. It had been a while since I had been there, so she showed me around and I talked to a number of her animals.

After 20 minutes or so, it seemed the other people she invited weren’t showing up. She had a fruit eating contest prepared for four people, but she decided to go on and do it with just the two of us. I asked if we had to eat just one at a time, and she said yes.

So she says go and starts picking up a bunch of them before eating. I guess she misunderstood my question. Anyway, my pockets weren’t empty, so I ended up picking up about nine before I got the pockets full warning and had to drop one. Needless to say, I lost the contest.

Once we finished, her friend Max showed up. TZ decided we would play musical chair. I don’t believe I’ve played musical chair(s) in ACCF before, although I hosted a game of it once. Well technically that was musical toilets, but same thing. 😛

TZ said the one left without a chair is out (of the game, presumably). I ended up winning… only to find out that that was only the first round. So I figured it was probably best 2-out-of-3. We did a second round and Max won. It was tied, 1-1, so clearly a tiebreaker was in order. I won the third round.

But it wasn’t over. TZ did another round. And another. Despite my early 2-1 lead, I lost a bunch in a row and ended up losing badly overall. I was getting tired of the game and I was badly defeated. Yet still another round after another. I guess I just prefer when the rules are known ahead of time.

After that was finally over, Max asked TZ to play some Super Smash Bros. Brawl with him. She agreed, but suggested we play some sumo first, so we did a few rounds of that. And TZ wanted to use up her stash of pitfall seeds, so we buried what was left and started falling into them.

Max kept pushing for TZ to play SSBB with him. And then another visitor, Michelle, came into town. Max seemed annoyed that yet another person was keeping him from playing Brawl. After briefly saying our hellos to Michelle, the game abruptly disconnected. You can draw your own conclusions on that one. I sure did.

I started up the game tonight and immediately noticed a problem. Flowers were missing. Others were wilted. But it rained in the city yesterday, and I returned by bus, so what was the problem??

Yesterday, when I got to the city it wasn’t raining. But almost immediately, the clock struck the top of the hour and it started raining. So I thought great, that’s all I need, and went back to town. I’m thinking maybe it has to be raining when you enter the city from somewhere (either when you get off the bus or when you come out of a building in the city). So anyone who uses the city rain to water your flowers, take note. If it’s not raining when you get to the city, then starts raining, enter and exit a store there to make sure you get credit for the rain. (Of course, then you have to take the bus back to town as well).

The good news is that I didn’t lose any black or blue roses, since I water them every day. That means they were watered Wednesday, so even without yesterday’s rain, they would be wilted at worst. I did lose 10-20 red roses and several purple roses though, and probably some other flowers as well. So it’s still a setback, but it wasn’t disastrous.

Anyway, I opened my gate at 10:00. ToonZelda came in, bringing Katie, which triggered the mother/daughter cat reunion scene.

As soon as that was over, Mike also showed up. Out of the blue, he released a birdwing. It turns out, he was trying to show it off, but clicked “release” by mistake. 😀

I watered my flowers as I worked my way around town. When I got to my house, I got my mail. Bob sent me a letter, thanking me for making the delivery yesterday. He sent me 500 bells. Oh joy.

Anyway, the three of us just hung out and did some fishing. Nobody else joined in, so my town didn’t fill up tonight. I think that’s the first time in over a month that it didn’t reach maximum capacity.

By 11:15 or so, everyone had left. I kept my gate open in case any of the late night crew (such as Jorge or Georgie–aka the orgs) came over, but no such luck. ToonZelda did invite me to her town tomorrow night, so I’ll try to remember to do that.

I’ll end today’s entry with a few pictures I took tonight. Until next time.
