At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. MaryAnn, better known as Yann, came over for her first visit in New Horizons! I played a lot of City Folk and New Leaf with her in the past, but I hadn’t played with her in any game since…2015?! So it was good to see her again!
I started giving Yann a tour of my island, and Sacky and Bran also came over.
Alex from Pawnee joined in, and we continued the tour. Once we got to the Mario course, we ran some races on it. Bran beat Yann in the first race, and then Bran left for the night. But Nami and Logan came over, and we continued the races. Alex beat Sacky, Logan finished ahead of Nami (but he cheated by not following the arrow at the turn 😂), and then Xavier came over.
We continued with the races: I beat Yann, and then Alex beat Xavier. We then played several “Hit the Hay” races and then I showed Yann my house. We hung out there for a while, and Logan left about 11:50.
Once we were done in my house, we went out and jumped around the ponds up on the cliffs…until Alex disconnected at 1 a.m. Normally, I would have ended the session around then. But this time, I knew that Megan was on her way! I hadn’t played with her since…Halloween?
With Yann and Megan in town, it felt like an ACCF reunion! I showed Meg the Mario and hay races, and then we played some sumo as well. Just like old times!
About 2:15, it was time for yet another “long time no see,” as Tom41 showed up! I haven’t played with him since last year either. He also got to see the Mario race, but we ended up just acting silly, making puns, playing word games, and playing with fish, of course.
Tom left before long, but the rest of us continued being silly, talking about food and spicy sports, and reminiscing about old times in City Folk. Around 3:30, I ended the session for the night. Thanks to everyone who came, it was a lot of fun! 🙂
I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow. See you then, and have a great weekend!
It was really nice to play again Jeff!! Thank you for the fun night! I haven’t had that much fun in a while! The puns were funny too!
It was great seeing you again, Yann! I had a good time too! 🙂 We’ll have to do this again sometime!
