Week 3 Log
Weather: Sunny and warm AM, cool PM until Friday. Friday - cloudy AM, rainy PM
- Another Week Goes By
Monday morning comes along. It’s a quiet morning, which is much-needed after such a long island adventure. To anyone walking around the island, you’ll notice two things:
The airport is open, but the seaplane is gone.
Also, there’s a familiar face jogging around the perimeter of the housing portion of the island. That familiar face happens to be none other than the ninja rabbit himself, Snake! Looks like he’s already spending his first day on the island getting in shape!
When Tom Nook calls you all over for morning announcements, he looks pleased with himself. Even Snake comes over to join those who gather to listen to the tanuki. “Good morning, everyone! Let’s all give a warm welcome to our new friend, Snake!”
Cue applause. … Hopefully there is some applause, anyway. Snake grins and just looks very happy to be here.
“Next, I’m pleased to announce that the postal service is now open, since Orville is here to manage mail! You’re able to send individual messages to your fellow residents with gifts attached if you'd like, all handwritten if you’d like, yes. Alternatively, you can redeem what are called Nook Miles for items now -- they’re essentially a rewards system, and you can track your rewards on the Nook Miles app on your phone.”
“Essentially, the app will automatically award you for every contribution you add to the island, whether it be decorating your house, harvesting fruit, pulling weeds -- you name it! You can then turn in those Nook Miles at the airport, and that’s how we’ll be delivering items to you in the mail from now on.”
That’ll have the mail system make more sense, at least! Now it’s all on you if you decide to end up with 40 items in the mail all at once.
“The last announcement I have to make is that we’re going to make a second housing plot! The first one was a success, what with Snake moving in, and I’m grateful for Wilbur and Orville’s efforts in helping us build our island. So...with that, I need the following items for the next house:
1 Ironwood Table
2 Ironwood Dressers
1 Ironwood Clock
2 Ironwood Chairs
And just like last week, if nobody on the island has the DIY for these, I will send over the DIYs to your apps.”
He pauses, and then he looks a little...sheepish at this next announcement. “Now, I’m aware that some of you have been building bridges — and now that you all have vaulting poles and ladders, there are untouched parts of the island for you to explore. I’d like to ask you all to consider creating areas outside, such as an exercise area, perhaps even a park of sorts — though we will have someone coming in soon who may need some space.
Finally, this is just a request -- if you have any fossils, bugs, or fish, do turn them in to Blathers! He's very close to hitting his goal before we can open up a museum, so keep that in mind.”
He raises his hand, as if to end the morning announcements. “That’s all for today!”
Possible Objectives
1. Help Tom Nook prepare a housing plot for the second villager house!
2. Get Nook Miles to redeem items at the post office at the airport.
3. Help Blathers by catching and donating specimens.
4. Decorate and explore the untouched part of the island (see locations page; it’s the left hand area)
NOTE: Nook Miles are not a new mechanic and are simply an IC way to justify the rewards system, now! You don't need to keep track of points; just assume the threads you turn in are characters redeeming points for items.
(OOC: Welcome to Week 3! Please direct all questions to the FAQ under the Week 3 top level.
Here's this week's Weekly Plotting Post for you all to use!
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let us know! Have fun!)

I was looking over the DIY recipes I've learned, and some of them need furniture from recipes I don't have...
...and I bet I'm not the only one with that problem either! So I thought, we could share resources- and furniture- and help each other to make certain items that way.
In my case, I can make:
- Fossil Doorplates
- Green Leaf Piles
- Log Stakes
- Rocking Chairs
- Iron Garden Tables
And 'Ironwood Kitchenettes'...but this recipe is one that needs other items: a Cutting Board, and an Ironwood Dresser. So if anyone has those recipes, we could work together to make the kitchenette!
Let's share our recipes so that we can get more done that way!
no subject
I'm afraid I don't have anything for the Ironwood Kitchenettes other than potentially materials, but what I could contribute otherwise...
- Log Extra-long Sofas
- Brick Ovens
- Hay Beds
- Frying Pans
- Palm-tree Lamps
- That apple wallpaper
- Deer Scares (??????)
- Butter Churns
- Stone Stools

My guess is that it'd scare deer away from a garden or crops.

but I don't want to sleep on hay
no subject
You could make it, and see what it looks like, and then sell it though? It would be worth more than 20 weeds at least...

i wonder why they'd even give DIYs that have recipes that require other things that you may or may not even have. as for me, i have:
- log stool
- log decorative shelves
- cardboard chair
- old fashioned washtub
- apple dress
- log bench
- apple umbrella
- cardboard sofa
- plain sink
- small cardboard
- log stakes
- wooden block stereo
- log garden lounge
- hanging terrarium
- deer decoration
oh, btw, i should mention: i have a second copy of the apple dress, log bench, log stakes, and wooden block stereo if anybody wants to do a DIY trade!
also re: kitchenettes, if anybody does have the recipes for the other items, i'm 100% dwon for helping to build them! just leave it to iori! ♥
no subject
I don't have any copies, but some of the stuff you can make sounds really neat- what does the terrarium look like?
no subject
[also attached is a picture is this]
no subject
It's neat...
What do you need to make it? If I got the materials, could you make it?
no subject
apparently we need four iron nuggets and twelve clumps of weeds? that shouldn't be too hard, i think!
