Maple’s Igloo Games

Yesterday, I received Pecan’s goodbye letter in the mail. She didn’t stick around long, but that is nut a problem at all.

At Nookington’s, I bought up ten items…just for the raffle tickets. 😛

In Acre B-5 (just one acre below Nookington’s), I met Pecan’s replacement, Petunia the purple cow.

Petunia: Oh, my! Have we met before, moo la la? I'm almost positive the answer is no.

So that means both of my temporary villagers are now cows (Patty is the other one). And that makes three cows in total, when you include Belle.

By the way, when Petunia says she’s almost positive we haven’t met before, she’s wrong. She actually lived in Forest in 2014.

When I visited Maple in her house, she didn’t recognize me! She said she’s not a fan of strangers in her home at night! 😮

Maple: Umm, good evening. Not to be rude, but I'm not a fan of strangers in my home at night. Who are you?

However, she did remember me after a few seconds. She said I “did some work for her.” 🙄

Today is the last day of the month, so that means it’s Raffle Day! And I actually had some raffle tickets for a change! Ten raffle tickets gave me two entries, and the first entry was a loser. But on my 2nd attempt, I got a blue ball. That meant I won the third prize, which was a black queen. Yay!

Tom Nook: Here's your prize, a black queen!

I’m not sure it was worth the cost of the ten items I bought yesterday, but still, it’s fun to do something different sometimes.

I spoke with Petunia again today, and she said she’s going to stop obsessing over decisions on what to have for dinner every day. But then she worried she might lose her girlish figure. 😛

Petunia: ...but what if I start to lose my girlish figure?

Today’s snowballs were just two acres apart, so I decided to roll them up and make a snowman.

Snowman: Beneath your simple exterior, there obviously beats the heart of a true master!
MY simple exterior? You’re made of two snowballs!

Maple was hanging out in an igloo, and I played some of her games to sell her some items. Since I couldn’t sell anything at the shop today (because of Raffle Day), this actually helped me out! I got some really good prices: she paid me 5,600 bells for a sproid, and a whopping 8,900 bells for a country guitar!

Maple: Here's your 8,900 bells.

On the down side, I did lose a T-rex torso for just 110 bells. But I still came out ahead overall. I even got myself another DUMMY. 😉

Maple: Your fourth choice is... DUMMY! I'll sell it to you for 1,170 bells!

In a span of just two and a half minutes, two of my villagers (Tom and Ursala) both painted my roof. Tom painted it black, and then Ursala painted it green. Since my house is covered in snow and I can’t see the roof anyway, I didn’t even care. 😛

At the post office, there was already a letter waiting to be mailed–it was my gift from the snowman. So when I sent four letters (with fossils, to the Farway Museum), that forced the mail. Phyllis had to wake up Pete to mail everything.

Phyllis: All right, I'll wake up Pete and get him on this! (For crying out loud, who mails stuff at night?)

So when I returned home, my mail was already there. The snowman sent me a snowman TV, which is my favorite snowman item. It displays a picture of snow falling near a house, and it plays a soothing, wintry tune that is so relaxing. 🤍

Jeff enjoys the snowman TV.

I know my house is way overdue for a makeover. Maybe I should take all those asteroids over to Maple’s igloo…

See you all next time!

  1. I always seem to get fleeced every time I go into an Igloo, never knew you could expect to make money.

    Also it’s such a pain to do an errand and find you need to collect from a villager in an Igloo.

    1. I think some villager personalities have better games than others, if I’m not mistaken. But also, it helps to have full pockets. That way, the games can only involve selling to them or trading. They can’t force you to buy something if your pockets are full. 😉

        1. Put your memory card in slot A, and the memory card with the other person’s town in slot B. Then start the game up and speak with Porter at the train station to travel. Just remember to return to your own town before you stop playing.

  2. I remember when you got your original DUMMY around 2008/2009 and that was the first time I ever had seen one. I bet Ursala was just waiting for Tom to finish painting your roof so she could ruin all of his work.

  3. Such fun. I never played the GameCube AC that much. I still have the system and game. I should get them back from my grandchild. I never understood the horns on the hats.
