Anyone else have a story that goes along with their game? in my town, i thought it was kinda cute that Carmen and O'hare moved in so close together. (Carmen lives by the cliffside near the beach and O'hare moved in shortly after right in front of her.) and i kind of started to think of them as family, like cute little niece with her young "hip" uncle. (I think of Carmen as a little younger, maybe more of a teen.)
Then it's kind of fun to notice and see whos friends with who. Like Kid Cat and Rodeo are always walking around together, and Carmen and Cookie are close friends, they always mention each other when talking to me.
Rooney is kinda like the town dad-figure, he's always patrolling around different people's houses and worrying about them. I just think it's fun to notice what your community of villagers get up to.

(Bonus: no one seems to like Chops, he's almost like town creeper, only Cookie really seems to take pity on him, she was the only one who went to his birthday party, and the only one he ever seems to mention in a positive light.)

anyone else have town drama like this?

In my guest town I have 4 players and got very lucky with 2 new villager house placements.  This was before the update so it was random placing.

Invited Kody from the campsite so Poncho could have a friend.  Found Kody plot very close to Poncho house.
It's cute that he likes to copy Poncho.

Peggy moved out and Bluebear moved in one spot to the left of Peggy old spot.  Bluebear lives beside O'Hare.  When the title screen is on sometime Bluebear and O'Hare walks in the middle of their two houses.
They hang out a lot.

Yuka and Paula have a love/feud friendship.  Visiting my house they talk about the other one sitting on the sofa in a mean way.  Visit their house and they'll say nice things about the other one.

Tutu mentioned don't tell Ed stuff all the time when something happens to her.  She was upset about the flea and didn't want Ed to know.  They live next to each other and hang out a lot.
