Harvest Moon Summer Group Play Options

[Celia]

You can hear him from the bar??

On my first file, my dog was very brave. He hated Daryl, too. He'd bark a little and sniff at other people, but he always barked up a storm at Daryl. I'm sure he knew of his plots, though! Also, pretty hyper. He'd run around the farm a lot if he wasn't hanging out with the chickens.

I think on only one of my files Ruby visited me. Keep in mind that I didn't focus much on her on all of them. But every so often, she'd walk over.

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Sometimes I can.

Oh and I suppose an update is in order for the night.

On the 2nd day of summer, and just saw Nami's 3rd heart event. I'm really liking Nami's character, I used to just kind of blow her off and didn't appriciate her, but now she's one of my favorite characters it seems.

[Totoro Spirit]

Season 2-

Bought-
Male Marble Cow- Carrara
Male Sheep- Ivan
Food Processing Room
Light Hoe
Light Sickle
Large Watering Can
Miracle Potion for Nepeta

Obtained-
Blue Feather
Seed Maker
Weird Hoe
Weird Watering Can
Horse- Ainsel
Hatched Female Chicken- Juno
Hatched Male Chicken- Shipoff (sold same day he was hatched)

Girls-
Nami had four hearts on the first of the month. I saw all but their final heart events for all the girls. After seeing them I guess I'll be marrying Celia again.

Villagers-
Won over a few more people. Romana decided I was worthy of her old watering can which holds one whole square worth of water. She’s so generous. Somewhat better was Vesta, who also gave me a cast off item in the form of a weird hoe. Daryl was by far the most generous to me and gave me the seed maker. People once again praised my crops, they also commented that I’ve become a talented cook.

Daily Life-
Planted several more plots of seeds and turned the produce into seeds to resale. Bought and planted orange, banana, and peach trees. Alas, I planted the peach tree too close to the other trees and it died, I then bought another one and moved it further away from the other scary life-sucking trees. Didn’t mine or fish much, mostly watered plants and chased people around to give them gifts.

Random Observations-

That cricket/roach bug that tells you you’re an idiot when you plant your trees too close together? Yeah, he kinda freaked me out. Creepy little bugger.

My dog does not understand the concept of guarding the property. He lets everyone wander around without the least bit of protest. ...Except for me when I’m riding my horse, then he charges me and barks like a rabid squeak toy.

I ended the season with 30,248G

And thus my Summer, and massive block of text, came to an end. All rejoiced.

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Dang Totoro, so much money in a small amount of time. Gotta learn your secret. Always finding myself strapped for cash, was embaressing when I couldn't pay Nami's bill in her third heart event (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Oh well. All my money goes towards future investments anyways. My orchard is done for now, until I get hybrids that is. 3 banana trees, and one of every other tree seed you can buy at Vesta's farm. Debating on buying a chicken or saving up for a cow now though... Planning on a star cow if any cow though.

[Totoro Spirit]

How do I get my money you ask? Why, I deal drugs spices to Van. But yeah, my money comes from abusing the Ruby Spice duplicate cheat. After a played the game honestly a few times I got into the habit of doing that. So, when I said I’d “made several Ruby Spices” to sell to Van in Spring that really meant I had them stock piled all over the farm, sold all those, ran home, cooked up some more, ran back and sold those too. *cough* Yep.


Season 3-

Bought-
Milking Room
Pond

Obtained-
Hatched Female Chicken- Michi
Hatched Female Chicken- Lenora

Girls-
Saw Muffy and Celia’s last events. Turned Muffy’s down and accepted Celia’s. Now I’m working to get Muffy and Nami back to four hearts after they lost two upon my accepting Celia’s last event.

Villagers-
Of the people I can currently access only Hugh, Wally, and Marlin are left to win over, everyone else likes me. Guess I’m too stingy about giving milk away, and heck if I’m buying Bodyhyper, or whatever, for Marlin. He can keep taking my crappy B grade crops. Oh, and Murry, I've been ignoring him because he annoys me with his refusal of perfectly good food and the stealing of items off my farm once befriended.

Daily Life-
Planted some Carrots and Sweet Potatoes. Made a lot of Yam Soup. Was kinda bored and got back into fishing a bit this season. Tried really hard to win over a few stubborn villagers, failed on most. Oh, and I finally got my dog to like me.

Random Observations-

I am convinced Marlin, who I keep trying to call Merlin for some reason, is related to Carter. That would also explain why he keeps hitting on Celia, who would be his niece is he were Vesta’s brother instead of Carter’s son. Yeah, I’m telling myself that so I don’t feel as creepy for marrying him in the girl version.

I ended the season with 8,010G


And so Fall came to a close.

Also, as I won’t really be getting anything else this year, I made a vid of my farm. It’s crappy quality, but it’s under a minute long if anyone actually cares to see the exact same farm you’ve already seen every time you play AWL.

[ZBoy]

I started my file today. I'm only on day 3 of Spring. I have my one cow named Cassie and my pointed eared dog named Pudge. I have my single 2 tomatoes growing.

[Kozunai]

Nami and I are engaged. It is Winter 2, and I can't wait to get to Chapter 2. I'll post a big update at the end of the chapter, so get ready!

[Charmy]

Uhn. *Dropped out*

I got distracted with Spyro and I want to play Final Fantasy while I get the chance. DX
Have fun. .__.

[Twilight Wandere...]

Put simply what I've bought:
Milking room, Food Processing Room, Pond...
Have two ducks, Xao and Xylia.
Have two cows, Star cow named Bella and momma cow named Creme. She's the starter cow.
Horse named Skippy. And I have a seed maker. Currently working on buying all the tools.

Married Nami, in year two, have a son named Ashton... He's the most adorable thing ever. D;

I've decided that Romana is a crazy old cat lady that only keeps cats so they can meow to Lumina's piano playing, and if I refuse to give her a flower, I'm afraid she's going to beat me with a parasol.

That is all for now.

[Pumpkin Patch]

So I spent forever going through all the memory cards we had and was not able to find my awesome AWL or AnWL files (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasad.gif) . I was so close to finishing them too.

Now I am sad and hesitant to start over. But I'm still gonna. I haven't yet though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) . I'm not sure which one I'm gonna play yet... I'll get on that now.

[Kozunai]

I will make it chapter 2 tomorrow, I just don't feel like doing it tonight. I have just been taking it slow in the Winter, but I am on Winter day 8. :)

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

I'm closing in on the end of Summer, all but one of Nami's events seen, and unfortunately my goal to buy a Star Cow won't happen. Maybe next season then...

[Celia]

Closing off the last two and a half days of Spring had me getting Ruby Spice.

Pitt's too adventurous.  Chickens usually stay closer to the coop and along that stretch of land.  I found him over at Takakura's once.  He likes to play hide and seek, too.  I found him cleverly hiding behind the tree next to your house when I was putting them in for the night.  Not near it, actually behind the thing where I couldn't see him until I was right on it.  I had planned to use that time to go fishing...

Oh, and I almost beat Kassey.  Drat!


SUMMER
To hit off the first day, Takakura presented me with a horse, who I named Machkik.

I haven't been able to dig much.  Carter's been stubborn about going.  Though, at least I didn't have to decide rather I'm doing that or 'the other thing'.

Tim and Romana each gave me their respective tools.  Tim, himself, had the pleasure of eating my first cooked meal.  He said it was better than Ruby's cooking.  But I'm wondering if he's just saying that to get more food off me, because Ruby doesn't feed him properly...

Two eggs were hatched.  They were both girls, Miyu and Lucy.  Miyu's a bit of a pain.  She's really lazy and always sleeping at the worst of times.

Another egg was hatched afterwards, but I sold him...

I also bought a sheep who I named Mais.  Hopefully this means I get a heck of alotta gold wool.

The Sprites gave the blue feather to me, as well.  It'll be sitting on the shelf 'til the end of the year.


FALL
We had another girl chick hatched.  She was named Tango.  After the day, I had wished I saved the name for my cat per the reason the name even came to me, and gave the chick the cat's name I already had picked out.  But... Oh well.

Vesta finally gave in.  She gifted me a hoe.  Like an ugly dress, she wouldn't be caught dead with it.  Or something like that.

And I finally remembered to go to Daryl's house, so he could give me the seed maker.  We plot against companies, as we speak.

[Totoro Spirit]

Season 4-

Bought-
Milking Room
Pond

Obtained-
Wool Clippers
Hatched Female Chicken- Bonbury

Girls-
Got Muffy and Nami back up to four hearts after they dropped two when I accepted Celia as my girlfriend. Proposed to Celia on the last day.

Villagers-
Wally and Hugh now like me. Marlin and Murry not so much.

Daily Life-
It was a boring season, I fished and slept a lot.

Random Observations-
So I went looking for Wally to give him some sashimi, he was nowhere to be found but, while looking for him, I noticed that his wife, Chris, was standing half way up the mountain path. She stayed there all day. Just standing. People walked past her, she did nothing. As to Wally, he wasn’t seen again until he popped out of his house the next morning like he’d been there all along. No idea why they were both being glitchy on the same day.


I ended the season with 10,080G


Year 2, Season 1-

Wife- Celia
Son- Max
Nickname- Sweetie

Bought-
Nothing

Obtained-
Fishing Pole G
Alarm Clock
Weird Sickle

Family-
Celia is happy to be away from Marlin. Every morning I wait for her to wake up, I give her a flower, I listen to what she has learned about the wonders of potato skin’s oil absorbency. After this I pick up our child and show him to Celia to make sure he doesn’t need changing before I put my face near him for a cuddle or begin to toss him up in the air. Once I’ve done my chores I take our son out to play in Daryl’s lab or at the dig site, our boy’s going to be a scholar. That, or he’s going to be scarred for life from going in dark underground sites and filthy laboratories... So far he screams “Nooooooo!” a lot while in both places and insists on talking about how pretty plants are.

Villagers-
I finally won over Marlin. It only took four and a half seasons. Murry is still not liking me, but I can’t blame him, I’m not sure I’d like someone who gives me fodder as a gift. Also have Kate liking me, she’ll make a fine future wife for my son. Grant and ...his wife, whose name I've forgotten, also like me. Galen and Hardy forked over the last two gift tools.

Daily Life-
Mostly I’m caring for a soon to give birth cow and trying to make my son into a scholar. Did some mining and got the D Tablet, also fished a decent amount. Had a lot of Strawberry and Potato plants to take care of at the start of the season.

Random Observations-

I ran into another glitch I’ve never noticed before. I was walking around with my kid, picking plants as I went, and in doing so he got stuck where I set him down and couldn’t move from the spot. It was where the Mugwort grows between Cody and the twins houses. I was facing the twins house and set the kid down to the right of the plant, I couldn’t pick him up or talk to him, he had to stay there until his mother went looking for him at his bedtime.


I ended the season with 8,527G

There are multiple places this can happen, I've run into it before. I used to always wake my son to the farthest points in the valley and get him to walk back on his own. Perhaps that is why he always leans toward art...

[Oscar]

Get outta town! You got Totoro to play?! :D


And you can just post pics from your 3DS just like that, HMR?

/random intrusion

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Well since my 3DS is really my only camera, I can take pictures with it, it saves em to the SD card, then I can go on the internet browser and directly upload them to an image hosting site from my 3DS. Very useful since my iPad lacks a SD card slot to do so.

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Double post, but oh well.


So I'm closing on the end of Fall now, and figured I'd just combine my Summer and Fall progress together.

(IMG:http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/728/hni0094mpo.jpg)
So as I mentioned, Ruby unexpectedly came to my farm. I wouldn't have minded it as much, but she said this.... Should I tell Tim? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

(IMG:http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2575/hni0090mpo.jpg)
After that odd encounter, I decided I need to buy seed for next season (and my final tree seed) and headed off to Vesta's. Only Celia was home, and I after buying all that I wanted, I noticed I only had 1G left... I had never been so poor in the game before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

(IMG:http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/8162/hni0091mpo.jpg)
Got Nami's second heart scene the next morning. Was a nice scene up until Nami left without paying her tab. I offered to cover for her, forgetting I only had 1G left... Luckily Muffy didn't care and teased that Griffin would forget anyways by the time Nami came back, throwing in that I should buy her a drink next time. It's like this season was filled with girls hitting on my character, even Celia.

(IMG:http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8506/hni0100mpo.jpg)
I just want to ride him....

(IMG:http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8576/hni0098mpo.jpg)
Now if he had a red bandana then he might look a little familiar...

(IMG:http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/9885/hni0096mpo.jpg)
Is this about what happened with Ruby? Cuz I swear she came onto.... Oh Nami's missing? Well sure I'll look around for her!

(IMG:http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1663/hni0007mpo.jpg)
New barn animals. Blurry, but I got Tony the horse, and Cocoa the star cow to add to the family. Was the animal's bath day, but Mother Nature wouldn't have it and made it rain for 2 days straight.

Also saw the Harvest Festival (pictures were way too blurry), a Lumina event, and have befriended quite a few townies. People keep commenting on how hard I'm trying in the fields, and how I have plenty of time to get used to it. Oh and I got the Seed Maker from Daryl, and now I'm just saving up for Winter, so that I can knock up Betty when she stops giving milk. Can't wait for next year, gonna be awesome.

[Oscar]

Yeah, darn Apple. Holding up until the iPad 4. >.> But that's pretty convenient, still! And you get to take pics in 3D.


So, your going after Nami, then? And possibly the raccoon? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

This time I decided to go for Nami, after like 8 files of not marrying her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I do want that raccoon though....
