He walked back to his original position a couple times so i gave up!

Missed a couple of shooting stars as i didnt recognise the sound but finally got one... At last. I think they might be over again though :pac:

I hate scorpions, i cant catch them. A whole island full sounds scary

Scorpions will act like normal until you equip your net. At this point you have become a threat and they will become defensive. Don't move. Draw your net and wait for them to drop their stance. Then advance slowly. If they raise their stance again stop. Advance. Stop. Rinse. Repeat. Get close enough. Swing and don't miss!

You'll get it.
Practice the net range. You'll get used to it.
I kept a score card. It was originally tarantulas 4 - 0
Then it was 4-3.
Then 5 - 3
5 - 4
5 - 11

Then tarantulas were out of season.

On the island there are 3 at a time. It’s full of flowers and weeds so they’re hard to see. You think you’re being smart sneaking up on one, then his buddies run at you out of nowhere. :eek:

Soooo.... fell asleep last night while playing the game and woke up to find my house still in it's temporary location. :rolleyes:

Leif on the island today, so another exercise in frustration as I want to buy 40 of each type of flower. He also has some new kind of bush I've not had before. Still no sign of Redd but I did get a lovely green patchwork coat from a balloon, delighted with that. :pac:

Ok, I have a question.

My daughter is playing AC on her own switch while I have a game going on my switch. We only have one copy of the game but is there anyway for me to send her a mirror? I have one in my game but she hasn't been given one yet in hers.

Obviously with just one copy of the game we can't visit each others islands, or can we?

You should be able to post it to her in the airport?

I don’t think so - it’s a shame you didn’t buy it digitally as you’d be able to visit each other. Only way I can think of is if you have a mutual friend you could post it to.

I thought we would have to have visited each other to be able to do that?

Ah yes, you’re right. Unfortunately I think multipass is correct. A mutual friend seems the only way.

I'm curious about animal popularity. I always hear that Raymond is very popular and people go to great lengths to get him. What makes them popular?

Lord TSC

KK played his first concert with me today, so I'm now able to start terraforming which is great. Going to free up a tonne of space at the back of the island getting rid of some cliffs.

Redd is on my island today, and I got a genuine Starry Night, which I'm tempted to not donate and put up in my house for the time being.

If anyone is interested, he's also got a Mystic Statue and Ancient Statue (which I need to check the validity on and will update shortly; brother is on the Switch right now so I can't check) and a fake Academic Painting. I'll be on more this evening if anyone wants them

Lord TSC

Um....does Redd vanish after buying something?

I just ran back to check the validity of the statues and his boat is gone :S

He stays the full day, doesn't disappear

Weird. He's normally there after you buy something as when you go back he'll tell you that you can only look not buy.

Lord TSC

I've ran the back of my island twice to check now, and his boat is gone. I've not time travelled or anything so no clue why he's vanished. Thats weird.

Lord TSC

Oh. I wonder....

Earlier, when I launched the game after it had been suspended over night, it said there was an update available, and I rejected it and said to launch without it.

Then my brother played the Switch for a while.

So, chances are the update installed automatically when I launched back up.

Would the update have caused him to vanish?

That's bizarre. First he gives me only fakes and then hightails it with your money? Something fishy going on here :pac:

I had Redd last week on a Tuesday. After selling my turnips on Wednesday, I went back the previous day and he was still there. So even though I had time-travelled back to that date, he was still there. So maybe your Switch had(has) a different date?

I think it's cause he's a new character and people generally like cats

I usually just prefer to get new villagers in, don't care whether they're popular or not

Same. I'm not that pushed who comes or goes, a fresh face is always nice.

I found Raymond on a mystery island near the start before I realised his popularity. I do quite like him though. Himself and Boomer are my two favourites.

There's no amiibos for Raymond either because he's new, which makes him more difficult to get and more popular as a result I guess.

People do seem very fond of the cats though.

Oh can I call over later to get this? I need it for a certain villager... I'll water the flowers

Redd is here today today. I bought a real quaint painting this morning, and he's selling a fake ancient statue, fake moving painting, and fake academic painting if anyone is interested.

I’m much the same BUT my daughter has a list of 5 that she says we have to keep at all costs: Biff, Phoebe, Stitches, Audie and Marshall

She hates Kitt and so far she’s the only one who has shown no sign of leaving at all

Pancetti (a pig obviously) is the latest to the island

I got a cat Villager last night, Kid Cat - looks much more interesting than Raymond, I don’t mind the jock types, some are quite funny I think.

I also don’t get the Raymond hype
