Opening up again tonight because Celeste is here. Klaus is making Gold Helmets too.

Closed. Hope everyone got plenty of wishes.

Thanks, I got a ton! I was mostly just letting my controller turbo button do everything while I browsed web etc, so wasn't being particularly social. Left you a present behind town hall btw.

edit: I'm {dooders} in game

double edit: Kinda funny story involving my game name, Snake (the jock rabbit) came up to me the other night (interrupted my shooting star wishing even!) and asked if he should start calling me "Vitamin {". I was like uhhh, no... and then panicked because there a were shooting stars passing me by and it wouldn't let me just back out of the conversation. I had to suggest another nickname, and just typed in "Zzzzzz" so I could close the dialog. Days later my other villagers are wanting to get in on my hot nickname action, and I just keep denying them.

That said, there are still other reasons to pick weeds. Nobody likes getting screwed out of drops. There's also the nook miles rewards for selling them, though you can accomplish that by raiding ticket islands if you want.
I mean, if you want to pick weeds there's no penalty for picking weeds, if you want to get technical. That's true.

But if you like the way they look, please keep them! You can get weeds from the islands for achievements and crafting.

Is anyone else annoyed how inconsistently the special NPCs show up in town? CJ hasn't been around since the fishing tourney on the 11th of April. Redd hasnt been around since the he opened the ship. I wish I could just pay Nook miles to have Tom Nook get someone on the island guaranteed the next day.

That's a good idea. We've not seen Redd since the first day, and only seen the shipwrecked bird and the ghost once each since week 1. Lief has been three times since last week!

Savannah is moving out today, if anyone is interested. She sings nicely, but she should have sorted her loving house out if she wanted to stay. Get bent, Savannah.

I swear they're harder to catch than tarantulas for whatever reason. I hope they're really faster.

It's because they don't do the little hop tarantulas do before they aggro, which means you have to be a lot more careful playing red light/green light with them otherwise they'll just dash past your net.

Keep talking to them. They'll eventually have a prompt for moving in. If you have an empty plot i dunno if they'll still make you play the game or not though

My wife put a Dodo code on Twitter just once, with a very specific "please take what you need and leave the rest for others" message. The first couple of people charged in and grabbed everything they could, the next couple took all our fruit (literally racing each other to trees & stealing fruit others shook down), and the one after that asked what we had for free and when we said nothing left but you're welcome as a visitor, pulled the head off every flower he could find and kept deliberately running up behind people trying to fish until we kicked him off the island. Goons might not be perfect, but the bar for average behaviour is set much higher.

The game is really annoying with visitors moving in. Essentially you just need to talk to them over and over and over and keep playing games with them. Even if they say "I don't want to loving move in" you just need to play cards with them until they go "... aw, okay"

Redd is on my island and he has:

Genuine Mona Lisa
Genuine common painting (the gleaners)
Fake basic painting (the blue boy)

Also a throwback gothic mirror and blue camping stove.

Send me a PM if you want to visit and grab a painting. First come first served.

Oh, and Cyd (red elephant) is packing if anyone wants him.

I've had CJ come over during a thunderstorm last week but he wasn't on the intro screen. I found him way back on my isolated part of the island. I saw Redd last night with 2 real ones and let a friend in to get the Mona Lisa.
Strange part for me is that I've never had a meteor shower. Not announced at all! Random shooting starts sure but nothing like my friend's places. I know they get it at least 2x a month. I have lots of stars but it still hurts.

I'll always look around your island checking every corner because they could be wandering there. At least Redd comes by boat and stays in one place. I wish they regulated special NPCs to stay on the plaza like they do for tourneys.

Is charging for them really the only way to get that many? Couldn't they have gone to a bunch of different islands that have meteor showers or something?

Celeste finally showed up for me last night. Only a weak-rear end shower, but it's better than nothing.

Also, a balloon gave me an embroidered tank, which I thought would look cute on Fauna after taking a very quick look at it in my cooler. Turns out it's quite short, which I should've guessed from the name, and now my deer likes to sometimes walk around the island in lingerie.

I don't think so. I've had Celeste on my island four or five times and still haven't seen a single shower.

I did however see three shooting stars randomly one day when Celeste wasn't on the island. Isabelle didn't mention it in her report that day either.

In my case it was not so much a shower as there were maybe 30 shooting stars in a 2 hour time span.

I just left the game running with the camera pointed up and hit A whenever I heard the twinkle while watching YouTube.

I thought random shooting stars always happened in groups of five. For me, I seemingly randomly will get a few groups of five spread out over a couple of hours.

Redd is in town. Pretty sure I accidentally bought a fake painting by mistake, so you can help yourself to some nice art. Other than that, well, some nice dresses in Ables, and free stuff laid out at the camp site.

If you want to be nice, I would love some ducks or recipes for making ducks. No pressure, I just like ducks.

Is there cap on number of star fragments you can get after a night of wishing on stars? And/or is there some smaller ratio than 1:1 fragment per wish? I feel like I wished on over 100 while visiting The Manticore's place last night, but idk got like maybe 20 fragments this morning. Thought I would be set for life.

you never know with this game I just kinda wanna ask around so as I know what to expect, rather than waste 2 days demolishing and rebuilding the bridge. It looks like it fits the incline requirements, but it could also just go "That's too close to the bridge!!!!!!!!"

UPDATE: yea it won't let me, oh well
