Anyone else not picked up their AC game in a while?

[keybug55]

It's been like three months since I last played (Didn't even TTd last time I played, and Pheobe moved out...sigh). All the people I know that play it have been kinda off of it because college.

Lately, I've been just playing Pokemon X, and this is the first time being of these forums in a LONG time.

Last thing I really did in AC:NL was throw all my money at the Gracie sale :/

If you don't want to lose anyone next time you should write down the last time you play AC then when you feel like going on again change your DS time back tot he last time you played. Then make sure that no one pings to move. If someone pings tell them to stay then you are safe to TT back to the present day on your DS time, and no one should move out.

I make sure to check for pings every 2-3 days because I'm way too paranoid to put the damn game down.

Otherwise, since I've gotten almost all of my dreamies, I haven't really played much besides looking for pings. I have a lot I could do, but it's too daunting so I just ignore it rofl.

I know people keep saying this, that if I quit on the day someone pings that no one will move out, but I'm far too paranoid not to check anyway. Augh.

I've been playing on and off, mostly due to school. I only play when there is an important holiday that I want to play through.

And it is true that if you stop someone from moving and quit playing that day, no one will move out no matter how long you don't play.

I've played everyday since it came out in the UK... Ehehehe >.>

Didn't play for a couple days, four maybe...and one of my favorite villagers moved out. Sigh.

ahhh I know it's true but I'm probably just not ready to give it up yet. Four copies was a lot of investments and I'd hate to just chuck it all away I guess xD; so I'll probably keep torturing myself pbbbbtttt

Yea I stop playing for about three weeks. TTd to the date I last played and lost Astrid still anyway! Not impressed but it's given me a new AC mission to get her back!

I always try to keep track of the last day I've played so I can TT back to that day. If I can't remember I TT back to a day I know I've played, because TTing back any amount of time only counts as one day forward and I'm usually pretty good about checking whether villagers are moving or not so one day forward shouldn't move anyone out.

There were a few months I didn't play though. Most of the people I knew stopped playing and this was before I joined here. Now I try to play once a day, even if it's only for a bit.

Dude, seriously. I didn't touch my ACNL for 3 months as well and picked it up again today. I stopped playing because I got a voided villager (Iggly) and I'd been trying to TT him out for a month before I stopped playing, he just wouldn't leave. He just won't ask to move out. I TT'd like crazy until one day I just got tired of it and quit playing. I was so mad because everything was going perfectly and my friend promised me Octavian for my Kabuki but she didn't have space (I think) so we had a cycler hold Octavian first and she picked up Kabuki, but I never heard a word about it again. And I just stopped trying and when my friend picked up Kabuki, I got her voided villager, which was Iggly, and it's been hell since then. I hate getting voided villagers especially because they're the ones that take so long to move out like wtf I don't want you in my town GTFO. I'm mad just talking about it right now and when I played today, I just traveled back to the last time I played and tried to TT him out for like 5 hours and got ****ing tired again. But then luckily one of my friends asked me if I wanted to play with him and yeah, it just reminded me how fun animal crossing is and I got the same fun I felt when I first played, before I got this cursed voided villager, before I quit. It was so fun I forgot about the time, and I regret giving it up for 3 months. Now I'll just keep working until Iggly pings me so I can actually do stuff to my town. I was in the middle of placing my paths and doing PWPs too when all this happened so right now my town is a mess.

i know this feeling omfg it's the absolute worst. in my old town i got a voided filbert and mac and i swear i went at least 2+ months ahead in my game just to get those guys out. it was absolute torture

I didn't play ACNL for a few months. I think it is normal to lose contact with the game for a while. But though, when I decided to pick it back up, I didn't feel all the pressure to make sure my town was perfect and just the way I left it either. Maybe it is because it is my first AC game, but I've already lost villagers before. I can be sad or I can embrace it and look forward to new villagers.

I feel more pressure to do everything right in Pokemon and I think that is what is keeping me from playing the game and enjoying it.

I kind of got tired of it around early November near the Harvest Festival :/

Chrissy moved out last month when I didn't check up on my town thoroughly enough, I kind of just loaded the day(s) and bought bush starts, saplings and fertilizers from T&T Emporium and carried on to the next day.
