Yes, after all this time and 61 games, I'm still enamoured with the Animal Crossing theme. However, unlike the other 2 times this theme has come up, I've finally played an Animal Crossing game and so now I'm even more enthused about using it. It just works so well.

The Misadventures of Shangri-La

Prologue


I was travelling the rails in search of a new destination after my life fell apart. I hadn't left my house in 9 months because day to day existence had got it's gentle grip on me and was suffocating my soul. When I finally decided to face the world again, I found it had gone to hell. There were weeds everywhere, flies and cochroaches infesting everything and all the cool neighbors and friends I had known had moved, replaced with some weird freaks that I wanted no business with.

 


Fish-Duck here still haunts my mind.

Clearly, it was time to make a change in life. Maybe if I started over in a new spot, I'd find the zest for life I used to have when I was friends with all my neighbors and a contributing member of the community. And that is why I hopped on the rails in search of a new destination that sounded right for me. Unfortunately, I was soon accosted by some creepy cat trying to find out all kinds of personal and private information about me.


If one of the first things you have to say to somebody is that you are not crazy, it is because you are.
 
Since I did mind him sitting with me, I immediately got off at the first stop which was some place called Shangri-La. No sooner do I exit the train station when I'm suddenly confronted by a group of people welcoming me to the town. I checked myself over to make sure I wasn't carrying any drugs in case that was causing all these animals to be attracted to me where ever I went but I was surprisingly clean on that front. Maybe I had already used them because one of the animals from the welcoming committee started telling everyone I was the new mayor and I was taken straight away to City Hall to begin my reign. Now, normally, I might have objected but, as it turns out, my being mayor of the town has always been the host's role in this game so the whole thing kind of works out great storywise.

Despite things seeming to be pretty rosy at first, I soon found out Shangri-La was pretty troubled. First, I found out that the whole real estate market was cornered by one Tom Nook and he was dictating where houses could and couldn't be built and charging whatever he wanted for home sales and renovations. Then when I went shopping, I discovered that a couple of his relatives Timmy and Tommy had basically taken control of the sale of nearly all merchandise for the city and all citizens were at the mercy of whatever they chose to stock and had to buy it at whatever price they chose to sell.

I wasn't going to stand for an iron grip on the marketplace so I went to find the local sheriff to see about busting up this cartel. That's when I discovered there was no police station in town. Apparently, it's something that has to be requested by the citizens and then money has to be raised to build it and hire a detective. Thus, I gathered the citizens and explained the situation to them. It wasn't easy. They wanted me to pick fruit for them and deliver packages for them and fish for them but I finally was able to win them over and agree to get a police station started.

It felt so good. Once again, I had a purpose in life beyond just picking weeds and buying a new piece of clothing. I was going to help these people to cast off the oppresive economic sanctions being levelled against them by the corrupt Nook empire and lead them to a better life of freedom with plenty of bells for all. Of course, things can look great in theory but when applied to the real world, well, then you can encounter some bumps along the way as I was about to discover........

Didn't appear as though the deadline was officially called.


At least I hope I can sneak in, if y'all don't mind.

Yeah, as of right now, we only have 9 players. So, I'm going to extend the deadline for another week and I think I'm going to spam other user's pm boxes with invites as well :-[ to see if I can't stir up more action for this game. I don't think we've ever played a game below double digits for players.

I get a tad too excited, 'nd break into song.
I go a-searchin' for people to harass, to blame,
I then place my vote, it's invariably wrong...

...In-var-iab-ly Wronggggggg!

I have limited time but, I'm able to play a simple mafia game (this one seems pretty straightforward, which is surprising for a Khush game XD).

So I'm in!

Hello there, my name is Eugene the Koala 'yeah buddy'. why do you seem so upset with me? What's this, did I build my house over the garden you had in front of re-tail with a bunch of rare flowers? Oh I'm so sorry about that. Here, have an ugly chair to make up for that 'yeah buddy'.

I'm in.
