Wait, the old dude's DEAD?! (Let's play Harvest Moon: Friends of mineral town)

[Zain]

Seemed like a good answer to all the (something)Mon LPs

For those of you who don't know, Harvest Moon is a GBA game about, well, farming, and it's one heck of a good RPG about farming. Anyway, I'll update this every few days, maybe once a day if I'm lucky.

Our Protagonist is Zain, the grandson of the owner of the farm, he was the only one in his family of seven boys that the old man ever liked, and Zain was the only one that continued to see the man after moving out, despite having to fill out paper work each time

And now, we begin

Chapter 1

Ok, so the immigration info is all right, I can head over to gramps farm now... Although why they need to know my dogs name is a mystery to me...

What? I'm just looking for my grandfather!

If by him, you mean the old dude who lived here, then yeah, I know him, he's by grampa

Wait, the old dude's DEAD?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?:smallfurious:
http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/961/act1006.pnghttp://img130.imageshack.us/img130/6388/act1007.png
So gramps left me the farm?
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5703/act1009.png
Yeah, That's me, My Immigration papers should have arrived by now...
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/6690/act1021.png
I'll take the farm, then, Gramps and I where close...
http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/9082/act1022.png
That's the plan...

But, you know, I have know Idea what to plant...

So that's where we stand, Voting is open on what to plant, and votes will be tallied at 4 PM on Monday, April 2 (GMT-08:00)

[The Dark Fiddler]

Close... but you didn't know he died? :smalltongue:

I say you plant whatever is most expensive at the moment. Nothing better than starting in style!

[Domochevsky]

Guess you didn't visit him all the regularly. :smallwink:

And yeah, plant the most expensive thing you can. Don't mess around with cheap crap! o/

[Zain]

Meh, he just showed up randomly, and expected food :smalltongue:

[Comet]

"Grow the s*** out of that turnip!"

What can I say, I like the classics.

[Izual6764]

I vote for you to plant the most pimp plant availiable :smalltongue:

[xp194]

Grow Marijuana.

Failing that, Tomatoes make a good crop, if available, because you can get more than one Harvest out of a plant, which is useful.

Also, make sure to use the 9x9 - 1 square for maximum planting efficiency.

S S S
X S S
S S S

Key: S = Seed
X = No seed.

[Deme]

Yeah, you want the "fat U," as always... Does Maria still like Cabbage, or is that only HM64? Well, if she still like cabbage, grow that. Maybe just do a little bit of everything.

Will you be wooing everyone before settling down, or asking us to focus? Because I like the "woo everyone and leave a trail of broken hearts to be fixed by the rivals" option. Failing that... I dunno. The Mineral Town incarnations of these girls never appealed to me as much as the Flowerbud Village versions.

I love HM, so I'll be excited to see how this goes.

Edit: Wait, the mineral town line starts you off with that nightmarishly tiny rucksack, yes? OK, so turnips may be a good place to start so you can get enough money fast to upgrade to something less really annoying.

[ZeroNumerous]

Plant the cheapest junk you can find.

In communist farm: Plants farm you!

[Zain]

AND THE WINNER IS:
Turnips

Update to follow

Zain, ask your father about my wife, then take up the farm, It's better off in your hands then your father's. *end File*
So, well I guess I have some work to do, then I need to make a phone call, I think there's a phone in the bar... But first I have some work to do
http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/9558/act2004.pnghttp://img806.imageshack.us/img806/8971/act2005.png
That should be good... Now to make that phone call
http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/4055/act2006.png
Hello?
Hello mom, is dad there?
Just a minute, I'll get him
Ok
Hello?
Hey Dad, Have you heard the news about Gramps
Yes I now he's dead
WHAT? YOU KNEW? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?:smallfurious:
Well, you must understand that...
THAT WHAT? YOU HATED THE MAN?
That he was insane, babbling about having married a goddess...
So you just ignored him, and waited for him to die?:smallmad:
I'm sad that he's dead, but there's nothing we can do about that.
There is somthing we can do, I'm gonna pick up where he left off, I'm gonna run the farm:smallmad:
*click*
Dad? DAD? He hung up on me:smallmad:

The turnips will be used in chapter 3, I promise
Well, That's it for chapter 2... As for today's vote, Should we woo every girl? Just one? If so who?

[Deme]

All of them. It is important that the decisions we make be informed, especially when it comes to who we're going to marry.

[Domochevsky]

All of them, naturally. :smallcool:

(He doesn't have a all that good relationship with his father, hm? >_> )

[Zain]

Well, being one of seven boys, and the only one who likes his grandfather, who his father dislikes...

[Zain]

Voting is closed, we well flirt shamelessly with all the girls in mineral town:smallcool: Update coming soon

you should've named this LP Harvestmon LP, by the way. You know, to take the bandwagon :smallbiggrin:

*has mental images*
...I must learn how to do elaborate ROMhacks.
...Well, OK, I don't have to. I probably won't.
But I'm suddenly picturing a Tohoumon-like variant, but using Harvest Moon characters. And I suppose characters from Rune Factory, too, to pad things out...
"Anne (SNES/Magical Melody version) used self-destruct!"
"Wizard used Psychic!"
"Harvest Sprite used Helping Hand!"
It would be adorable. And wierd.

[Zain]

I would be... but then again, I dislike bandwagons, cause you never know where your going:smalltongue:

[Zain]

This LP will be taking a sort break tell August 14 2010, Cause I'm leaving to Vacation with my extended Family, and I'm failing at coming up with cheesy lines.

Feel free to vote/suggest cheesy pick-up lines for Zain to try ingame:smalltongue:
