When you first started playing TSTO

Whacking Day, I think. I started on a Friday night in Feb 2013 when a big blizzard blew into town. Decided I may as well check out this game my sister had been trying to get me to play. The power stayed on (thankfully), I was homebound for 3 days because the plows couldn't get to my neighborhood, and my Springfield was born.

She and I were each other's only friends until the Clash of the Clones event. I loved seeing other people's towns and spelled out my name in pumpkins hoping to be added as someone's friend. It wasn't until after Stonecutters that I found the forum and figured out that the way to get all the event prizes was to have friends (and read LPNintendo's walkthroughs)! So, I played for well over a year with only one friend :D And that is my life story!
