Jeff's ACCF Blog

Last Friday, I received Poncho’s goodbye letter in the mail. He used the SMB3 stationery, which is one of my favorites.

Yesterday, his replacement moved in: Tutu the bear. I feel pretty neutral about her, just like I did about Poncho. So exchanging him for her is a bearable trade.

As some of you may remember, Tutu lived in Forest before, back in 2016.

When I visited Harry, I saw that he put his fossils together oddly. He’s trying to create some new creature, I guess.

Today is November 16th, which is the 15th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk! Happy 15th, ACCF!

Today is also the 15th anniversary of my town, Forest. Even though I didn’t have this blog back then, I did have Youtube. If you’d like to see my very first moments in ACCF Forest, just click play:

Anyway, Wendell was in town today, but I didn’t stop by to talk to him (or feed him). A few of my villagers were talking about him though, and Tutu said she would feed him some Pad Thai Surprise. (I’m pretty sure she didn’t actually do it, though.)

I visited Gabi, and she asked me for a bunny shirt! Isn’t anything she wears technically a bunny shirt? But I actually went to Nook’s and ordered one for her. So hopefully Gabi will still want it by the time I play again.

Happy anniversary to all the ACCF players who have been around since the beginning! I’ll be posting my annual “Year in Pictures” slideshow soon, so keep an eye out for that! See you next time!

Now that November is here, mushrooms can be found around town. Some, like the elegant and rare mushrooms, are quite valuable. And each day, one of the mushrooms will actually be a piece of the mush set in disguise.

Thanks to my Halloween haul and November bank account interest (among other things), my savings balance reached 59 million bells recently.

Nana was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. Here’s a rare screenshot of an upside-down pink monkey.

Poncho was all packed up and ready to move out of town today. He’s a nice guy, but I’m not upset that he’s leaving. Good luck wherever you end up, Poncho!

Tom asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and I agreed to give it a try. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Egbert, and Grizzly. He said if I didn’t win, I’d be hopeless. Even though that sounds a bit rude, it’s basically true. Fifteen minutes should be plenty of time to find three villagers (even if you’re not rushing to find them).

After a minute or two, I saw someone behind a tree and I thought I found someone. But it was just Queenie, who wasn’t even playing. But shortly after that, I did find Grizzly trying to hide behind a sign post.

A couple minutes later, I found Egbert behind Tom’s house, and then Tom hiding behind the museum. Tom congratulated me on my win, and he gave me a mini harmonoid.

Immediately after the game ended, Grizzly pinged me. He asked if I was interested in selling my flame shirt, but I said no. He then hinted he would have paid me 370,000 bells for it, which is a complete, outright lie! They’ll never pay anywhere near that much money. For anything…but especially not a shirt.

After making my rounds, I ran into Grizzly again. He wanted me to deliver a message to River. He told me to tell her to ask him about “outfits.” So I switched to River’s account, and she now has bedhead. When River reminded Grizzly about outfits, Grizzly gave her a big bro’s shirt.

That’s all for tonight, but I have been working on another guide that should be done soon-ish. See you all again soon! Never Stop Crossing!

Yesterday, I got to see the inside of Egbert’s house, now that he’s all unpacked. He has a lot of robo furniture, including some robotic gyroids (dinkoids, I believe).

Today, I ran into my old buddy Bob in the city. He asked why there aren’t any restaurants around. That’s Bob, always thinking about food.

The Halloween festivities began at 6:00 p.m. today, and I dressed up as a mummy. This look qualifies as a costume, so I was able to trick-or-treat to get candy from indoor villagers.

I began my search for Jack. Along the way, I also tried to trap my outdoor villagers so they wouldn’t hound me for candy. Unfortunately, I didn’t do this before 6:00, so it was trickier than I would have liked.

But I went around town, finding Jack repeatedly to score spooky furniture.

Once I had all five of my outdoor villagers trapped, it was pretty easy to find Jack over and over. I ended up with an impressive haul, if I do say so myself.

I sold my 26 spooky items for a grand total of 268,060 bells.

I hope you all had fun and scored some goodies (whether it was in-game items, real candy, or some other treat). Happy Halloween!

Update: Here is a gameplay video showing much of my night:
