Can villagers with same personality move out right after each other?

[budewarmin]

So I have 2 crankies I want gone, and one left, but I really want the other to move out too. The problem is that I want the other villagers to stay, so my quistion is if the other cranky can move out right after the previous cranky? Or must someone else move out first?

I tried to TT him out but no succes till now..

It's random who decides to move, so yes, while he might not actually be "next" to move afterwards.. He can move sometime after the other cranky, with all your others staying

When there's a move-out sequence in your town a villager will tell you about their plans to leave. If you say no, and they decide to stay, another villager will tell you about their plans to leave in 2-5 days. If you keep saying no to the others the cranky one will eventually be selected and you can say yes, or decide not to talk at all if you hear rumours about it leaving.

The only problem might be getting a move-out sequence going. I believe it's easier to get it if you have 10 villagers because the game will want to make room for someone new. Although I had someone tell me it wanted to go to Turf Wars when I only had 9 villagers.

I think 5 is the minimum number of villagers, so you can always have people asking to leave when you have 6+ villagers.

8 is the minimum. I've never had anyone ask to move out when I had 8. But I did have random move ins
