I didn‘t expect him to be so emotional. He actually seemed to enjoy our company 😊

Priceless 😊

I've been contacted by a user via DM on Reddit about my account potentially getting banned.

As shown in the screenshots, here's what happened:

1. user contacted me directly via DM
2. user claims that _my_ reddit account was impersonalized
3. my impersonalized was allegedly used to send user a DM with a phishing link
4. user clicked on the link, then got his/her reddit account compromised
5. user's compromised account was allegedly used to target other users
6. user allegedly managed to recover his/her account
7. user then accidentally reported _my_ real account (instead of my impersonalised account) as hacking/scamming to reddit
8. reddit allegedly sent user an email (see last screenshot)
9. the email instructed user to get in touch with me
10. the instructions in the email require _me_ to get in touch with Reddit Support team via Discord (the Discord ID looks very non-genuine already!)
11. this would be required to complete my identity verification
12. email reads: "Failure to validate the legality of an account within [...] 12 hours may result in account suspension, limited features, or a ban."

Sounds very phishy to me - why would Reddit ask a user to provide instructions to another user whose account is allegedly prone to get banned??

I hadn't expected this to happen so quickly. In fact, I hadn't even planned for it - yet! I've just been planting trees for a while to figure out dead spots and to have only cedar trees in the upper town area.

When I went to the town hall and asked Pelly about the environment, her response was a bit different than all the days/weeks before.

Usually, she would mention the lack of trees, but this time it seemed that the environment rating had already improved.

Later the night, I talked to Phyllis, too. She seemed to confirm what I had heard from Pelly earlier the day.

To my surprise, it even seemed as if I had skipped the "good" rating and went straight to the "perfect" rating.

Woohoo! I'm now on my way to the Golden water can! I hope I won't miss a wilting flower during the next 16 days. As a safety measure, I've planted a few more flowers just in case.

BTW: Some pics show how I've marked acres and quater acres to better keep track of the number of trees in them.

I just wanted to point out that Nintendo Japan has web pages of some of their DS games from back then still running.

And if you know the Game ID of the respective DS game, you might be able to find even more web pages, as it follows the same pattern.

I found this out after I recently posted a link to Animal Crossing Wild World here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ACWW/comments/1vk1dd5/japanese_website_still_alive/

EDIT: on some mobile devices, you'll have to swipe the above table to the left to see the links.

I just wanted to point out that Nintendo Japan is still hosting their original ACWW website from 2005 under https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/admj/index.html

While it contains only japanse text, google translate was quite helpful in translating most of it: https://www-nintendo-co-jp.translate.goog/ds/admj/index.html?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Unfortunately, the page behind the 1st link contains japanese text only in the form of images, making it impossible for google to translate.

There's also the link to Wi-Fi missing - the Nintendo WFC was disabled on May 20th, 2014, hence they disabled the link as well. The internet archive however still has it: https://web.archive.org/web/20061207212433/http://www.nintendo.co.jp:80/ds/admj/tsushin/wifitsushin/index.html

I found this website very cute and is IMHO very reminiscent of how many little details they used to put into web pages back then.

I hadn‘t realized realized this until just recently recently. Maybe he‘ll eventually eventually sell me a copy machine machine…

I wish NL had such a sense of humour, too.

Cha-ching, you miser 🤣

I think l‘ll donate something to Boondox 😇

For some of them, I looked at real-world constellations for inspiration.

In order:

Guardian, Batty, Anty, Draco-Pillar, Twins.

Jitters‘ and Dotty‘s pics were the last 2 missing ones of my current villagers. I tried to be very nice them. Seems it eventually paid off 😊

Dotty recently moved in after I had been locally wifi‘ing with my 2nd pre-owned cartridge on my other DS.

Judging by what Dotty says, a user named "Emma Lou“ must have had Dotty in her town "georgia“.

Georgia is in fact the town of my pre-owned cartridge. However, the only user in that town is "kirstin“.

Does that mean that those two users might have been wifi‘ing with each other back then?

And more importantly: Dotty says it‘s been 6776 days since she last saw Emma. That‘s more than 18 (!) years ago!

I‘m still trying to connect all the dots, but to me it seems this might be a bit of one‘s personal gaming history 😊

He won‘t accept further orders at the moment. Is that because my mail queue is full already?

I think she ran out of responses at one point.
The whole scene eventually even drew Victoria‘s attention😁

🤣

I totally love how they outright speak about what they‘re thinking 🤣

More advertising material for ACWW. It came in the box of certain DS games back then and is likely EUR-exclusive as it comes in 4 different languages (English, German, French, Dutch). I'm not sure if there was similar material in the US as well.

I can't quite tell which game boxes it originally came with, but it's unlikely that it came with ACWW itself. I suppose it might have been part of games like Nintendogs, etc. that were heavily advertised by Nintendo.

Unlike the "typical" booklets that advertised several hot games at the time, this is a standalone one consisting of 12 pages and contains only ACWW material.

Since I couldn't find it on the web, I decided to scan it myself and make it available for everyone to enjoy.

Compared to NL, fossils sometimes hide really well in WW. Not that I mind - it‘s actually quite refreshing to spend some time scouring for them. 🧐 💡
