Jeff's ACCF Blog

I had a feeling I might find one of my villagers packed up and ready to leave town, and that suspicion proved to be true. The very first house I entered tonight was Mac’s, and he’s about to hit the road, Mac.

I’m sad to see my doggy run away from home…but at least it wasn’t Savannah or Static.

Outside, I met an electrician who wanted to re-wire the museum.

Actually, it was Static and he just wanted a new greeting. I told him to start saying “Bzzzt! Wrong!” That’ll come in handy if he ever hosts his own game show. Hey, that’s no less likely than him becoming an electrician!

Even though I’ve been playing ACCF just once a week for a while now (except in April/May when I was playing more for video clips), I rarely have lost any hybrids or Jacob’s ladders. Sure, many of them would be wilted each time, but it was rare to find any completely gone.

But that was not the case this time. Most of my (non-gold) hybrids, including all but three of the 12+ purple roses at Bob’s grave, were gone. Almost all of my Jacob’s ladders too. It had been 8 days since I played last, but that’s not that unusual for me. I’m really not sure what happened this time. It’s not a big deal or anything, but it does seem a bit odd.

And now that July is here, the full smorgasbord of summer bugs is now available. I made sure to catch some of the most tasty valuable ones, including this crunchy 8,000 bell cyclommatus. Happy bug hunting, everyone!

I had a chat with Broccolo today, and he told me he only likes to go inside of town hall when Pelly is working. He said that Phyllis scares him…and men.

When I stopped in Alli’s house, I concluded that she is not all right.

All of her furniture is in the left half of her house! Of course, this isn’t the first time I’ve questioned Alli’s interior design sense. Remember her five shirts and a stereo theme? 😛

I found Pascal again, this time on my southern bridge. I gave him a scallop and he gave me a helm. He also gave his words of wisdom about physics.

He then demonstrated some of those physics as he jumped into the river and swam off into the night.

Twiggy asked me to make a delivery to Mac, so I agreed to help out. The item was a No. 4 shirt, which is pink. He put it on without any reservations. Before I headed back to Twiggy to tell her the delivery was complete though, I stopped to watch the little rubber duckie in Mac’s backyard pool.

None of my villagers mentioned wanting to move out. And that just makes me think that one of them is going to bolt in the night before I play again. We’ll see.

I played again on Friday and Saturday, trying to save Savannah. But she never brought up the topic of moving, even though I left the game on for a long time and kept returning to talk to her repeatedly.

But I did catch this nice tarantula! I believe this is my first of the summer.

Yesterday was Father’s Day, and I got this letter from Dad. He also sent me a bag of red carnations. Happy Father’s Day to the dads out there!

I found Pascal on a bridge once again today. I didn’t have a scallop to give him this time, but I still had a chat with him to hear his words of wisdom.

Broccolo asked me for a new catchphrase and I told him to say “and men.” As in Of Mice and Men, of course. He started using it right away, telling me that he would eat some corn bread, and men.

Gloria asked me to make a delivery to Static, and I agreed to help her out. After I was done, Gloria gave me some bamboo flooring that she pulled out of her bill.

Still no luck with Savannah, but I’ll keep trying until she’s either in boxes or safe.

UPDATE: Savannah is now officially safe. I found out when Alli told me she was considering moving. I was able to talk her out of it on my 2nd try, so hopefully there won’t be any surprise exits next time.
