MS Plays: Stardew Valley (Game over)

[Ariel]

I would suggest after dealing with the crops to do general farm maintenance if you have spare time before the festival (weeds, stones, and feel free to chop trees if there's a new one growing next to it and no tapper?)

I'll suggest Apia as the first chicken name and a world capitals name theme

Official Votes

When reaching level 5 Foraging, should we pick

Forester

Gatherer

(20% chance of double harvest when foraging)?
Deadline: when we actually reach level 5 Foraging.

Forester: 1 (Ariel)
Gatherer: 2 (DragonEater70, patchwork)

I'm going to modify that second one to Phoenix, if we're specifically trying to invoke the flaming bird.

While at the Flower Dance, we can ask anyone who's single to dance with us. Whether they say yes or not will depend on our relationship with them. We can only dance with one person; the first person who says yes is who we'll be dancing with.

(expired on 2023-06-07 23:00:00) to decide who we're going to ask (if anyone), and to decide on what to do before the dance. I'll tally up what's been suggested already after this post.

[Farren]

So far, for pre-dance activities we have:
- Crop Maintenance
- Debris clearing at the farm
- Chopping down trees if there's a new one nearby (and no tapper on it)

For dance partner votes, I see:

Haley: 2 (DragonEater70, patchwork)
Abigail: 1 (Thestatusquo)

(Taking a loose interpretation of what constitutes a vote here.)

One other option: buying things at Pierre's stall! It's pretty much all cosmetics (other than the Rarecrow, which we can't afford anyway), but there's nothing that says we can't buy cosmetics.

[patchwork]

wait, how do we ask someone to the dance? temp removing my vote on haley

[Farren]

On my end: when we talk with everyone at the Flower Dance, if they're on the list of eligible individuals I'll be allowed to ask them to dance with me.

I plan to talk with everyone at the dance, but will be talking to the eligible individuals in the order of vote priority and will ask them in order until I get a "Yes" or until "no one" is the next "person" to pick. If we don't have a partner by then, then we don't get a partner.

[Thestatusquo]

Abigail.

[patchwork]

am i allowed to suggest sebastian

[Farren]

am i allowed to suggest sebastian

Yes, Sebastian is eligible.

[patchwork]

yippee

[Farren]

- Crop Maintenance
- Debris clearing at the farm
- Chopping down trees if there's a new one nearby (and no tapper on it)
- Attending Flower Dance.

For dance partner votes, we have:

Haley: 1 (DragonEater70)
Abigail: 1 (Thestatusquo)
Sebastian: 1 (patchwork)

In the interests of narrowing down what the threshold is for a partner to accept us, I will ask these three in order from least affection to most affection: Sebastian > Abigail > Haley. If Haley doesn't accept us, nobody else will either, as she has the most hearts.

Playthrough will begin shortly!

[Farren]

Flower Dance results:

Spoiler: Did Sebastian agree to dance with us?

Sebastian said: no.

Spoiler: What about Abigail?

Abigail said: no.

Spoiler: What about Haley?

Haley said:

Spoiler: Knock it off with the extra spoiler tags; what did she say?

Yes! We danced with

Haley

at the Flower Dance and gained +1 heart with her! We're now at five hearts with Haley.

We also talked to everyone present at the dance, which was most of the village. No sign of Wizard, though.

In addition to the dance itself, we watered all crops, got the rest of the small debris off the farm, and chopped down a few trees. When we finished up with the dance, it was 10:00 PM - so went straight to bed after sorting our inventory out.

Spoiler: Livin' Off The Land

Welcome to "Livin' Off The Land". We're back again with another tip for y'all. Now listen up:

Fruit trees. They take an entire season to grow, so plan ahead! If the area directly surrounding your new tree isn't clear, it will interfere with growth. Once your fruit tree is mature, it'll produce delicious fruit for you every day while in season. Better start savin' up!

Logs

Spoiler: Quest Log

• Deeper In The Mine
  
  It seems that the mine elevator is still functional. It will allow you to quickly return to any elevator doors you've discovered. A deeper expedition might be in order.
  
  Progress: 35/40 mine floors explored.

Spoiler: Crop Log

We have

strawberries x10

ready for harvest! While this crop is renewable, it took four days for the crop to yield another round, which means we probably won't get another harvest before the season ends.
