I've got all the wearables, but I have none of the collectables since I didn't decide to start collecting them until last year. The older ones are really expensive!

Well good luck for this year! My guess is they'll be retiring the 2012 ones, like they have been with the other shops, so probably try to grab those first. I'm sure they'll let us know though, once the event starts.

Really hoping they can get that recode done sometime this year.

Thanks for the fluffy pillow! plops down on the floor with it

Aww, how kind, it's pillow-power! Thanks.

If it is that week, as says we'll cover you, don't worry.
For the team! :)

Plot-wise, I recall a board posted about Babette having a 'small bump' stomach, and some spring-plot specultion there, so keep your fingers crossed!

I still pop along to visit Oatmeal, he's the therapy goat! Some Tempest based fun would be good too.

Found some more appropriate comfort wear.

Oatmeal is the most cutest thing on this entire site, I love it so much. 😊

vibrates with excitement Here's hoping!

He's the unofficial site mascot, surely. :)

It would certainly be fun, and we do love a plot. Even a mini one! It would be nice to do something with the Farmer's Market or the gardens, or even the Centropolis Green Project.

Anything, really, i've missed sooo much while i've been gone (7 years is a looong time lol) and i would LOVE any kind of plot that i can take part in. xD

I also heard they were probably going to do something new with Peka Park, instead of the bird watching. So maybe we have that to look forward to this month as well!

Ooh, that would be good, I found all the birds so far a while ago.

Yes, that's a pretty long break... Your break is in fact longer than I've been playing! xD

Glad to hear there's plans bubbling under the pixels.

Same, it didn't take long before I had them all. It would be interesting to see what else the park can be used for, there's always such potential with a space like that and to switch it up a bit for various seasons.

That would be an interesting idea, the park holding seasonal events, different stalls, stall holders and activities through out the year.

It would also help give something to do over the summer when there are less big events.

Well they have used it before for the Peka-boo event, and then of course the snowman contest this year. It seems like that's kind of what they're doing.

I think there will probably be something over the summer though, at least there has been for the past few years. Councilor's Cruise in 2012, I can't remember 2013, Peka-boo in 2014, and then the Faded Memories thing last year.

Yes, and those were good uses of the area. :)

It's always nice to have little things to do between the big seasonal events.

I would also love to see more use of other areas - like I mentioned earlier, the Green Project was a fun little event, but we could be back there, weeding and planting and trash collecting for prizes/achievements and so on.

Bird watching? What is this?? Is there an achievement or something I need to do there?

Yes, it's a thing. Brief intro: HERE

Big new news:

Eek!

At least they gave us a warning beforehand! Hopefully everything goes smoothly, but knowing to expect it is always nice.

I don't remember if there were achievements, but yeah it was a thing in Peka Park. You could go every day and you'd be asked to find a specific bird. There were only like 10-12 or so though, I think, so once you had them all there wasn't much point in continuing to go every day unless you just liked collecting them.

I think said it would probably be brought back at some point, but they want to do something different with the space for this season.

[edit]There was one achievement for it: here

Ah ok, so not something I can do now... darn.

Yeah, unfortunately it was put on hold during the snowman contest. Although the current map of the park has been changed back to the bird watching one, but that may be because they simply don't have another version of the map to use for right now. It could change again if/when they start a new event or something there.

aww thank you!! I think i should be ok though, grabbed the last of the things in there I REALLY want and still got 500 odd trinkets spare for other years! :)
