Adamsvil generally attracts an assortment of wandering vendors and worthless vagrants, ranging from the pathetic fish-dependent bum Wendell to the obvious fraud Katrina, but on Halloween we received a visit from a genuine kook: a figure calling himself the King of Halloween. This was the first time I encountered another person of authority on my new home turf, so I was surprised when our summit degraded into him begging me for candy.
A meeting of another kind is due with the ruling body of Holliday. Their leader, RhondaCat, is attempting to subvert Adamsvil's dress code by introducing an anti-Adamsvil "ladybug" design.
(1) The Able Sisters were first to adopt the ladybug.
(2) Then it propagated among my villagers.
(3) Yes, Paolo, JoeForever *is* getting upset.
If I can ever get Generalissimo Cobb to report back to Adamsvil, my war party will be able to begin plans. However, Cobb has turned his secret mission in Holliday into a relaxing beach vacation, complete with a frilly dress. He will need severe re-conditioning when he returns.
October 31st also coincided with Nook's monthly raffle drawing, which I consider a poorly timed collision of events. Nook's lottery machine seems extremely prone to abuse... by Nook himself. When a white (losing) ball is drawn, does Nook put it back in the tumbler? Or does it stay out? His sleight-of-hand is too quick to see, but either tactic reveals Nook running his own odds. The longer I live in Adamsvil, the more I see how Tom Nook is the true power here.
