The fishing tourney was held today, so I made sure to play before the tournament ended at 6:00. Tortimer was outside of town hall, and told me the rules. Whoever catches the biggest fish wins. The surprising part for me was that Tortimer–not Chip–was the judge! Chip hosts the event in all other Animal Crossing games.

So I began fishing. Once I caught a sea bass, I took it up to Tortimer. It was 45.8 inches long. But that wasn’t good enough; Alfonso had caught a 59.9 inch coelacanth! Wait, it’s not even raining. How could he catch a coelacanth? Wow, this fishing tourney is rigged!

I did catch and donate some new types of fish today, including a black bass, a cherry salmon, and an octopus. With each fish, Blathers discusses his favorite ways to cook it.

I caught several more sea bass, but none of them came close to Alfonso’s 59.9 inch coelacanth. So I ended up losing the fishing tourney, and Tortimer instantly disappeared from outside of town hall once 6:00 rolled by.

Chevre was outside, trying to get me to buy her exquisite rug for 2,700 bells. I wasn’t interested, but the odd thing was the choices I had: “I’ll take it” or “That’s cool.” Since when does “that’s cool” mean no?

Since I was playing earlier than usual, I spotted some bugs I haven’t caught yet. So I nabbed a migratory locust, long locust, and red dragonfly, and donated them to the museum.

When I visited Baabara, she asked me what kind of makeup boys like (on girls). I told her clown makeup, but she said she’s afraid of clowns. I should introduce her to Pietro. 😉

In Able Sisters, I had a chat with Sable, and she felt bad that she never has time to make me any coffee. She would like to sit and chat with me, if she could.

I checked the lost-and-found today, and Booker finally had a pitfall seed for me! But since Yuka and Baabara were both indoors, I decided to save it for another day. 🙂

Bill was also indoors today, but for a different reason. He’s packing up and ready to move out of town! I told him not to go, and then he said he lost his passport. Does that mean he can’t move out now? I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.

Tom Nook had a shovel for sale, and I bought it (even though I already own one). I buried it near my house, so I should end up with a golden shovel tomorrow!

Here is a video that shows events from the past few days:

Yesterday, I only played for about 10 minutes. But I made sure to check the store, and I’m glad I did. Tom Nook finally had a net for sale, and of course I bought it.

When I visited Yuka, she told me it’s not easy being pretty. As if she would know. But thanks for the laugh, you horrible blue creature.

And when I visited Chevre, I was surprised to find all of her furniture packed up in boxes! She decided to move out of town! But unlike other Animal Crossing games, this isn’t necessarily a final decision. I talked to her repeatedly, telling her to stay each time. Eventually, she said she would think about it, although she wouldn’t commit for sure.

I ended my game for the night shortly after that. But I played again today, and I found a letter in my mailbox. Was this a goodbye letter from Chevre? Nope! It was a letter from Mom, talking about how the weather is getting cold. She said she slipped on some wet leaves! She sent me an acorn along with the letter. I may hold onto this.

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I decided to buy this outdoor bath. I like how it looks, and maybe it will attract some frogs. (Just kidding about the frogs.) 😛 But it was one of the first items in my house back in City Folk, so there’s a wii bit of nostalgia involved.

I’ve been trying to remember to speak to Sable in Able Sisters each day, and today, she finally remembered me. Progress.

I met up with Chevre outdoors…so apparently I saved her from moving. Good to know. She asked me to deliver a letter to Static (yes, a letter, not a package), and I agreed to help her out. I took it to Static, and then returned to tell her the deed was done. She gave me an ivy wall as my reward.

Crazy Redd was in town, and I knew his password since he sent it to me in the mail yesterday. Actually, Chevre told me the password anyway. But I went inside and bought this strange painting.

I quickly ran it up to the museum and donated it. It was real! This is the first piece of art in my museum! 😀

I didn’t see any bugs out, but I wanted to test out my net. So I tried shaking some trees, until I found some bees. Unfortunately, they were on me before I could get my net out! You can’t use the control pad to quickly pull out your net (or other tool) in Wild World like you can in City Folk and New Leaf. So I may have some major trouble catching a bee in this game.

Yuka wasted no time in making fun of my face. She said I shouldn’t use any medicine because my face is a work of art now.

But as we talked, I noticed she had a flea on her! So I got my net out and picked it off her. How funny, my first bug is a flea that was on Yuka!

But I also used my net in another way: I used it to hit Yuka a few times…only until she got mad, though. 😉 Anyway, I donated the flea to the museum, so I donated both my first piece of art and my first bug today.

I went in to check on Baabara, and her response to my face was even ruder than Yuka’s. She said my face earns the doofus of Forest award. Wow.

I know villagers’ rudeness has been toned down in later Animal Crossing games, but they’re still pretty harsh in Wild World.

I decided to get some rest and end my night in Forest. But first, I put my ivy wall and outdoor bath up in my house. I know it’s still an odd mixture of items…but it’s home. See you next time.

My house has now been expanded to 6 x 6. Now I’m not so crowded in my house. It’s just what my flying saucer wanted…more space.

As soon as I came out of my house, I noticed a new house just behind my own. I went inside, and met my newest neighbor, Kiki. She’s a black cat that admittedly looks a bit weird, but I actually like her quite a bit. I’ve had her in my City Folk and GameCube towns before.

She is my 8th villager in town. Sadly, that is the maximum number of animal villagers you can have in Wild World (as opposed to 10 in New Leaf and City Folk, and 15 in the GameCube game). But on the bright side, maybe somebody will move out soon. We’ll see.

When I went into Nook ‘n’ Go, Tom Nook informed me that I now owe him 120,000 bells for my house expansion. Ouch. That’s going to take me a while. On the bright side, he did have a slingshot for sale today, which I bought. Still no bug net, though.

When I ran into Chevre, she wasn’t very happy with me for blowing her off on Sunday. Oh well. She didn’t give me the option to cancel, and I wasn’t going to wait around an hour just for her.

I met up with Yuka outside, and she is still waiting on me to give her some chic furniture (from when she asked me on Saturday). Hahaha, I’m never going to give her any! I’m glad to see she’s still waiting, though. Let her be even more disappointed. Or angry, even. I’ll enjoy every second of it! 😀

Pate told me that the fishing tournament is coming up soon. Hopefully I’ll remember to play early enough in the day to participate!

I visited Baabara in her house, and she asked me what was the prettiest thing in the world. I refused to choose the “You, of course” option and I said “Um, depends” instead. She wasn’t happy that I didn’t pick her, and she wanted me to say “Hail Queen Baabara” for forgiveness. That’s shear lunacy. Keep dreaming.

Over by town hall, Chevre asked me if I had a cup on me. I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it I told her no. She then lectured me about staying germ free, and then she gave me a tartan rug. What does a tartan rug have to do with germs, or a cup? I was very confused.

After digging up a fossil and donating it to the museum, I returned home and ended my game for the night. See you next time!

Update: Here is a video showing some of the events from yesterday and today:
