ACNH's "Void" is actually dumb...

[Khaelis]

Right, I had Flurry move out two days ago, and had an empty plot. I sadly did not come across a villager that connected with me a little with what little Nook Miles I had, so left it to random chance. I woke up yesterday to see that the empty plot had been claimed by Benedict and thought nothing of it. Until today, that is.

Benedict had moved from a friend's island, an island I visited over a WEEK ago. A voided villager was literally queued up! Granted, I don't mind Benedict (besides his interior, bleh), its just the fact that a voided villager literally clung to my island for over a week, waiting for a plot to open that bothers me slightly. Like, what if the glitches related to villagers were still not fixed, etc? Yeesh.

i got a villager from someone i traded with i voided them too so i wonder where they going

 

[Baroque]

That's actually horrifying. Thankfully, though, I just got my final dreamie today so I should be good on villagers for the coming months at least, no need for anyone to move in or out

 

[Fendi]

I very rarely allow my villagers to move out, but early on when I was still in the process of filling in all my vacant slots, I just randomly allowed any villager to move in. This was before I knew that voided villagers from random people I have traded with could end up being on my island. Needless to say, I learned my lesson, and I will definitely be looking for someone to fill the spot since I can't guarantee that it will be a villager I would be fond of.

My void stuck my poor best friend with Diva..... pour one out for her.

Yeah, and at least we can boot out villagers via campground visitors, albeit with a bit of soft-resetting.

 

[InstantNoodles]

Yeah the void is dumb. Octavian left my island weeks ago and moved into my friend's island a few days ago. Apparently there is no time limit so they just queue up, waiting for a plot to open on your island LOL

i got hazel as a random move in on my last island ages after my sister voided her it was really weird
she used my money to get an amiibo of her so i was really annoyed when i found out she voided her not even a week later lol

i also voided apollo and a couple of weeks later my friend got a switch and got him as a random move in which was crazy he was just hanging around for 4 weeks

 

[Manon_Despoina]

It's indeed crazy how long these voided villagers stay in the quite! Agnes moved out of my town two months ago, and my sister received her this week! About the same story in the case of Tex! Really crazy!

why does everyone hate diva?

why does everyone hate diva?

Well for one thing I don't like the frogs. And I'm someone who likes some ugly villagers, but she's slightly horrifying for some reason, plus I find her personality to be annoying.

 

[Xara]

yikes. i’ve been stuck with two voided villagers and i never considered the possibility of them queueing up to join my island - creepy lmao

 

[OLoveLy]

I got two voided villagers in a row when i trade with others players...

 

[Soigne]

i've definitely voided villagers that have shown up at two of my friends' islands weeks later, haha. i don't necessarily like that aspect of things.

 

[Shukie_Bunfox]

Oh, so theres no limit?
I let Filbert move out, and within 3 days my friend had him at hers.
I assumed he went to hers because it was CONVENIENT somehow for him.
I did'nt realise there was... a waiting list for my island potentially of my friends/tradee's old villagers...

(Thankfully my friend is OK with filbert, but still, very odd)

I got jambette from someone I traded with's island and into the void she went, replaced with vladimir the cutie pink grump bear. Then I got klaus after visiting a "friend" I now hate and actually had BLOCKED ... Replaced with Wendy the cutie sheep.

I agree it's insanely weird.

Also, vladimir is stuck with klaus' exterior. Im kinda happy about that tho.

 

[meggiewes]

why does everyone hate diva?

My best guess is that people think she is ugly. I actually want her since I read someone that said she reminded them of Rizzo from Grease (my favorite character in the movie). I think she is a normal, so I'm waiting until my normal wants to move out since I'm pretty sure I have Rizzo's amiibo card.

It is sooo frustrating I was trying to make space for stitches the other day and I voided Rhonda about a week ago. A week later my friend starts texting me and telling me that I brought over the plague to her island. I was so confused until she said Rhonda came to her island.

I was only able to avoid this issue once and that was to not go to anyone's island or have anyone visit me. In that time span I was so bored that I terraformed and redid my whole island scape. Anyways after time passes I tried to move out another villager to try and see if it would go to my friend's island.

Hooray it actually worked! But at what cost Nintendo genuinely needs to fix this, it doesn't make any sense as to why a voided villager would move into another player's town if they were long gone. If only there was a Thanos snap button for them lol

Diva is actually an Uchi, not normal. I can also see the comparison between the two characters, it's pretty cool! To be honest, Diva is definitely one of the better looking frogs, she doesn't deserve the hate that she gets for her design.

On topic though, it really makes me wonder where all my voided villagers went, as I trade pretty frequently here. Never was a fan of the void back in NL, but I'm kind of interested to see what villager has been stalking my island for the past 3 months. Usually I just island hop to fill in plots, might just let it sit over night next time.

my poor friend got Gonzo from my void weeks after I voided him. It was so late that I totally forgot about him and when she asked if I knew a villager named Gonzo I said no, then she mentioned how it was weird that he knew my island's name
