Social Report - Spring 8
Villager	Time	Location	Dialogue
Leah	11:40 AM	Outside Haley's house	"The trees look nice today, don't they? So why did you become a farmer?" >>> I wanted to escape my old life. "That's pretty much the reason I came here too!"
Haley	11:50 AM	Outside Leah's cottage	(upon being given the Daffodil) "*gasp*... for me? Thank you!" (She liked it!) "This town is so small. It sucks. I have to drive, like, twenty miles to buy any decent clothes. That's why I usually just order online. What?"
Penny	12:10 PM	Outside Haley's house, by the tree	"Hi ..."
Lewis	12:10 PM	On the road leading to the middle of town	"*sniff*... *sniff*... Ah, I sense you've been spending some time in the old Community Center. It's good to know someone's taking care of the place."
Elliott	12:40 PM	Outside his cabin	"I'm kind of new to this town myself, but I really feel at home. I moved here only a year before you."
Maru	4:30 PM	Outside the saloon, on a bench	"Whenever I'm struggling with a technical problem, I always take a walk."
Evelyn	4:40 PM	Behind Maru's bench	"Oh my, what a lovely day! "
Alex	4:40 PM	By his dog's pen	"Did you know I was an all-star quarterback in high school? It's true."
Abigail	4:40 PM	Outside her home	"Oh, hey. Taking a break from work?"
Sam (NEW)	4:50 PM	Inside the saloon	"Hey, farmer."
Harvey	5:50 PM	In Jodi's backyard	"We sell a few over-the-counter medicines at the clinic... feel free to stop by if you're feeling exhausted. I know that being a farmer is pretty tiring work... don't overdo it!"
Linus	6:40 PM	Outside his tent	"The crisp air of the wilderness is all I care to know."
Sebastian	7:30 PM	By the mountain lake	"Um... need something?"

Spoiler: I'd like to apologize

... for joking about your Grandpa's old cottage when we first met. It's really a nice little house!

However, you might need some more space someday. That's where I can help. If you bring me some raw materials and pay a fee, I can expand your house.

The first expansion I offer includes a kitchen. With a kitchen, you'll be able to cook any recipes you've learned!

Anyway, I hope you're starting to feel at home in Stardew Valley! ~Your local carpenter, Robin.

I will update the social report tomorrow, but some highlights:
- Linus is now at one heart!
- Haley jumped from last place to 7th place with the daffodil gift.
- Penny is the highest-ranked person that can be courted, in 3rd place. (Maru's in 5th; Elliott in 6th.) I'll try to make a note of who can be courted and who can't.

[Farren]

Spoiler: Video: Spring 8 (24:50)

[Farren]

No suggestions yet. So let's build on yesterday.

- More fishing. This time, going to run the loop in reverse, starting in the mountains and working our way downwards. Additionally, we're low on funds; I suggest we

sell

any duplicate fish to bring in some funds.
- More socializing. Since there does seem to be a general interest in relationship building, I'll bring along some more Daffodils and hand them out to people, see what they think. I'll earmark one for Haley as we know she likes them. Priorities will be single people, especially those that are already high on the list. (If anyone wants me to prioritize someone specific, please let me know!)
- More foraging. We have a Spring Foraging bundle to potentially work on. If we can find any Leeks, turning this in becomes an option, although I'd like some consensus on that before actually doing it.

Deadline to add to this list / fine-tune this list / toss this list entirely and suggest something different: (expired on 2023-04-17 23:00:00)

[DragonEater70]

Please prioritize Haley, Sam, Abigail, and Sebastian in that order, before others. I suggested this earlier and nobody opposed it.

Also please go out of your way to meet Haley every day and talk to her (unless someone objects this).

[DragonEater70]

I would like to turn in the Spring Foraging Bundle as soon as it becomes a possibility.

[DragonEater70]

Also maybe extend the deadline by a day or two? I think it would be fair to let others have some more time to add their opinion, since we are supposed to be playing together.

[Farren]

Deadline extended by 24 hours. New deadline is:

(expired on 2023-04-18 23:00:00).

I generally won't post my ideas unless we go a couple of days without any feedback. Anyone is welcome to start making suggestions as soon as the post is unlocked.

[Ariel]

Can we slay the rest of the slimes if applicable?

[Farren]

- Slime killing. Since we're starting the fishing loop in the mountains, we'll do this first, then dip as soon as we hit the quota for the quest.
- More fishing. This time, going to run the loop in reverse, starting in the mountains and working our way downwards. We'll sell any duplicate fish at the end of the day.
- More socializing. I'll bring along some more Daffodils and hand them out to people, see what they think. Priorities will be

Haley, Sam, Abigail, Sebastian

.
- More foraging. We have a Spring Foraging bundle to potentially work on. If we can find any Leeks, we'll turn in the bundle.


Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Going to try switching up the format for the activity report. Feedback welcome!

Task 1: kill three slimes.

Success!

. We entered the mines at 7:00 AM and left at 8:50 AM - Floor 16 was infested. As we didn't spend much time there, we didn't get much in the way of loot.

Task 2: Fishing.

Eh.

We got some time in fishing, but not as much as I'd hoped.

Task 3: Socializing / daffodil distribution.

Mixed.

- Haley was at the fountain at 12:40 PM and happily accepted another Daffodil (

liked

).
- We caught Sam just outside his house at 4:40 PM. However, he

disliked

the Daffodil; we'll need to find something better to give him in the future.
- No sign of Abigail during the day, and she was locked in her room at night, so no luck here.
- We checked on Sebastian twice today; he was locked in his room both times. No luck there either.
- We also met up with Harvey and Willy (at Harvey's Clinic); Maru was there but Harvey was blocking the way. We caught up with her later in the evening.
- We found an exercise meet-up in progress at Pierre's! Robin, Marnie, Jodi, Caroline, and Emily were all exercising in the back. We also talked with Pierre.
- We saw Evelyn outside tending to the flowers.
- Alex was outside by his dog's pen.
- We caught Shane leaving JojaMart.

Task 4: Foraging.

No leeks.

We did find a couple of other goodies, though.

We had a lot of energy left over at the end of the day - over 50% left. Health was at about 80% left, mostly from fighting on the infested floor.

Cutscene - Marnie visits the Farm

As we step out of the farmhouse, we see Marnie waiting on the front porch - with a gray cat by her side.

"Hello Farren! You see this cat here?" The cat meows at you as you inspect it - yup, that's a cat, all right. "I found it sitting outside the entrance to your farm! I think it's a stray... poor little thing." Another meow. "I think it likes this place! Hey, um... Don't you think this farm could use a good cat?"

Should we adopt this cat?

Please vote yes or no. To the best of my knowledge, this is a permanent decision and cannot be changed once made.

[Farren]

Notes:
- We've given Haley two gifts this week, so we can't give her any more until Sunday, Spring 14 - which happens to be her birthday. Birthday gifts have a

much

greater impact on relationships than regular gifts do, so for those of you who are interested in seeing things progress with Haley, keep an eye on the calendar!
- Haley is now in 2nd place overall (behind Linus, who remains the only person with one heart).
- Sam is now in 28th place. (Definitely no more daffodils for him...)
- Someone please yell at me if I don't update the social report near the OP within the next 24 hours.

[Farren]

Spoiler: Video: Spring 9 (20:11)

Adopt the cat and name it Katniss. Or Katlord. Or Mittens. Or Fluffball.
I actually like Fluffball.
What do you all think?

[DragonEater70]

Also, explore the adventurer's guild please.

Also, open all geodes
