Yeah I talk to them once and ignore them for the rest of time until they ping to move. I TT a lot and talk to minimum 2-3 of my fav villagers so many times they won’t speak to me anymore and get that thought bubble. This ensures that if someone’s moving, one of the three of them will say so, and if no ones moving, they’ll say one of those rumor lines (
see link)If none of them say any rumor lines or doesn’t mention someone moving, I’ll try another fav villager or save and quit and try again till someone says something but usually it doesnt Take long to figure out if someone’s moving or not.
If someone I want to move out is rumored to, I save and run past them to get them to ping me. If they ping and say they’re moving out and don’t “oh ok nvm” me then great. If they do the thing where they’re like JK not moving then I force quit without saving and ignore them completely and all their pings until the day they said they were gonna move lol
