The November fishing tournament was held today, and it was a carp-only tournament.

Robin had a bit of an attitude about the tournament. She said she hopes I have fun participating, because I don’t have a chance of winning. She felt like she had it all wrapped up!

Roscoe had a funny line about the tournament, saying competition is what separates us from the…other animals. 😆

I initially caught two carps, but neither of them topped the high score at the time: Antonio’s 34.9-inch carp. I had caught about 20 fish and wasn’t finding many carps, so I decided to keep going until I caught a third one. But once I did, it measured at 37.1 inches; big enough to take over the top spot!

Chip gave me an orange chair for my prize. However, there was still a couple hours to go in the competition. I turned off the game for a while, but returned later. A letter was in my mailbox, congratulating me on my win! (Take that, Robin!) A silver trophy was attached to the letter.

When I spoke with Chip again, I noticed an error in his dialogue!

The A carp Fishing Tourney? I’ll have to include that in my next Typos & Mistakes video.

I then went over to the Roost to check out the Saturday night show. K.K. Slider performed K.K. Metal for me. 🤘

I should also point out that today is the 16th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk’s release! I’ll be posting my annual slideshow of best screenshots in a few days, but I also posted a new City Folk Moments video yesterday. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!

I’ll see you all next time! Never Stop Crossing!

November is here now, and that means mushrooms are growing all around town. And one each day will be mush furniture in disguise, like this mush closet here.

I found a new house in the spot where Gabi lived earlier this year. Inside, I found Robin the…robin. However, there was no sign of Batman.

Robin has lived in Forest before, back in 2012-13. And Robin’s presence has given new meaning to Midge’s greeting, “We’re all birds.” 😆

Admittedly, Midge and Robin are the only birds in town right now. But that greeting will start to look prophetic if more birds continue to flock to town.

When I put some bells into my savings account, my balance reached 65 million bells.

Later on, I learned that Antonio locked himself out of his house. His catchphrase fit in quite well with his sentence, and he seemed to be asking if his key could be in a hole.

Of course, the key is actually in a river, not a hole. And I didn’t bother going fishing for it. Sorry, Antonio. 😛 Maybe you can sniff it out yourself.

I walked over to the Roost and asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed Aloha K.K. for me.

When I rode the bus out to the city, I ran into Drift there (one of my current Wild World villagers). He wished that just once, he could meet a date in front of the fountain. That does sound nice.

I guess he’s hoping to make a splash in the dating pool.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!

When I played on Sunday, I found Patty all packed up to move out of town (as expected).

I played again today, and I received her goodbye letter in the mail.

Of course, today is Halloween. The first thing I did was change to my Guest character to get candy out of his pockets and house. (I think he has more in storage too, but I didn’t even get it out. I figured I had enough already.) I put the candy on the ground, and then switched back to my main character.

After changing into my cavalier costume (since I already used the mummy outfit last year), I tried to do my normal errands before the event started at 6:00 p.m. Mint warned me that it was going to start as I was out walking around, but I was already keeping an eye on the clock.

I was also using that time to trap my outdoor villagers before they turned into pumpkin-headed maniacs. It’s your turn to be trapped, Mint! 😛

I trapped four of my five outdoor villagers; only Antonio surprised me a bit later. I had to give him a piece of candy, but I was then able to trap him without much trouble. In fact, the whole night, that was the only piece of candy I had to waste on a villager, since they all stayed trapped. They were the most well-behaved little candy-obsessed, pumpkin-headed demons I could ever ask for. 😆

But the night was really about finding Jack, and giving him candy in exchange for spooky furniture.

Of course, my costume also allowed me to trick-or-treat for additional candy at the homes of my four indoor villagers. (Patty’s replacement hasn’t moved in yet, so I only have nine villagers at the moment.)

I continued searching for Jack, and stocking up on spooky furniture.

I kept going until I used up all of the candy I had, scoring 26 pieces of spooky stuff.

Each one was worth 10,310 bells (even the wallpaper and carpets), so I earned a total of 268,060 bells. That doesn’t even count today’s fossils and balloon presents I shot down.

I hope you all had a happy Halloween! 🎃 See you next time! Never Stop Crossing!
