I'm trying to get the solar panel and modern street light projects requests at the moment. I already have jock and snooty villagers in my village so I can get them requested. There's just the issue that I almost never get anything recommended to me! Is there a special technique you can do to force villagers into requesting public works projects to you?
 
I've tried the wet suit trick also, never seemed to work for me neither. But yeah, go out into the ocean for a few minutes, go back to land and walk around and apparently you'll get a ping.
 
I don't understand why that would help haha. About every 5 or 6 minutes you will get a ping from a villager. I don't understand why swimming out to the border would help you.
 
You can't be looked at by them for 5 minutes, so hide wherever just don't get spotted.

Ah, alright. That makes a lot more sense. You just can't be looked at by them for 5 minutes. Thanks! I'll try out this swim suit technique.
 
Yeah because IF you're spotted it resets the 5 minutes. xD

I had no idea it would reset the ping... Hmmm... Since I'm just trying to ping my jock and snooty villagers, would be possible to segregate them in a corner of my map while I put all the other villagers in my vicinity so their pings keep getting reset? That way, only my snooty and jock villagers will ping me?
