Soliel asked for me to get her a butterfly, Ok, so I got her one but I couldn't find her (she's my smallest villager and I have a lot of foliage)
So I grab the megaphone to find her.
"Soliel"
nothing
"Soliel"
Nope
"Soliel"
nothing
........"So-leel?"
Soliel: Over here!
So the mic doesn't register when I say So-lay, which is the correct way to pronounce it I thought...
Just a weird thing.
 
It doesn't matter who I call on the megaphone.

Kapp'n answers. o_O
 
... it... her name is pronounced So-lay and not So-leel?

My entire existence has been a lie.
 
I know what you mean

Some villagers don't respond to the way their names should be pronounce. Like Clyde for example. No matter how many times I try, he doesn't respond. I used to have that issue with Phoebe, but then I realized I was just pronouncing it wrong XD

I know the feeling XD
It's mostly with special event characters though.
 
I just tried calling Deirdre and Anchovy answered lol. I couldn't get Croque to answer and wasn't sure how to pronounce his name, but he finally answered to "Croak". I can't figure out if it's just a game quirk or the mic not picking up very well or what, but "so-leel" is kind of an unexpected pronunciation...
 
I have to let my husband know that I?m ?going to talk to my animals?.

My husband is always super far away - in another room - in another galaxy - in the 4th dimension with headphones and loud music - and I will be so quiet - and HE thinks I am calling for him!

Every. Single. Time!

I?d rather if it was just Kapp?n. Maybe, maybe not ;)

Lol, My brother usually answers me.
Me: Kyle!
Bro: What?
Me: Is your name Kyle?! :[

omg - same! lol Husband always thinks I'm talking to him when I do this, especially when he has headphones and is absorbed in something else.
 
The megaphone comes in handy when looking for one of your varmints and they seem to hide from you. I use it mainly to rouse Gulliver quickly but, oddly, he seems to prefer "GullIver" with a long I. Regardless, I'm just glad there is no villager named Alexa.

I now want to know if Hoodathotit actually HAS Alexa ;)

Inquiring minds want to know!

And if so, if you talk to Alexa with a megaphone ;)

No real mystery here. Alexa is the name, or trigger word, used to activate an Amazon Echo device. Any time I say "Alexa", there is a soft tone and a blue ring if light on the device and she will wait for a question or request. Check on Amazon or Google it. I can almost whisper and she hears me, so a repeated megaphone call for Alexa would confuse both of us. There are alternate trigger words but, thankfully, none match ACNL characters.
 
Weird huh? I had the same problem calling Sally with the megaphone :s
