Gripe with the fishing tourney...

[ChillyKio]

OK, as much as I love the fish tournament furniture, it is SUCH a pain to get sometimes. Not only do you have to break your record, you have to get a fish bigger than its average size for its species. It's really inconvenient. I still need a good amount of the set, but since there's two sequences to get certain pieces of furniture, I got the sequence I already have. Agh!
Sorry for my rant. Any complaints about the fishing tourneys, or any tourney in general?

The tourney gets boring really quick to me because none of the villagers will ask for errand runs or pwps!

Exactly! The villagers are so bland until 6pm. It's a long, dry wait.

That doesn't make sense to me :S

Today I got a piece of the set by giving a sea bass, then I caught another sea bass that was bigger so I beat my record, but he only gave me normal furniture.

How can a bigger one not be bigger than the average?!

That's strange.... it should've gotten you another piece of the fish set. Maybe it was a glitch?

Or Chip was just being a **** lol.

I'm don't have too much problem with the "you can catch anything" fishing tourneys (although I still prefer the bug off), but the ones where you need a specific fish and still have to beat the current record and have a size larger that average really pisses me off. And then because the rules alternate between each tourney so if I choose to simply not take part in the species specific tourneys I can't get half the set.

Oh my gosh, yes. I completely forgot about specific fish. It's almost impossible to get the set with those.

I was all ready for the Tournament this morning. I caught fish last night.
Got ready for Chip. Offered him all my fish.

Two pieces of fish set furniture.
On a Tournament day with any kind of fish.

Rrrrerrrrrrrrg. Blergh. End rant.

Yeah I kinda don't care for the tourneys much anymore. After participating and winning each one, unless you wanna collect all of the special items they give you, all it does is become a burden for me. When I need my villagers to ping me because someone might wanna move or recommend a pwp, no one does for hours and hours because of the dumb tourney.

 

[buttonfactories]

tourneys are SUCH a pain lol, I hardly ever participate in them anymore. Which sucks because I want to collect the furniture, and all my villagers wanna talk about is fish :/

I put a display of clocks in the museum for which I needed the crab clock, which I got. But I also want a crab clock for my home. And because I now have all the furniture I keep getting random furniture. Take this last one, he gave me two football fish lamps in a row, then a harpsichord. Upon which I threw up my hands and decided to try again next month.

But I still think the day was a success because I got second place, and the silver trophy was the last of the fish trophies I needed.

after participating a lot, it got boring. like bone baby said, it just got in the way of pings.

I stopped showing up early for the fishing tournament. Start at 5pm and work on the villagers inside for any rumor mover.
Once I get that I start fishing.

Last time I had a large fish and Chip said it didn't win. It was a glitch. Also gave me a lot of Crab Clocks so I gave them away to villagers.

I did really well in mine today. I was trying to complete the fishing series. All I wanted were the freaking jellyfish lamps. BUT NO. I got 3 squid chairs, 2 football fish lamps, a crab clock, an anemone bed, the dab table and the marine carpet. I'm very happy with the variety I got, but I would've loved those jellyfish lamps. booooo!!!

Oh! That's because the jelly fish lamps aren't available in that particular "set". There's two sets you can obtain from Chip, and they alternate every fishing tourney. You can read this: http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/fishing-tourney if what I said makes no sense whatsoever. It's a bit confusing!

Fishing tourney days are just very boring for me now. I got a few pieces of the set months back but I kept missing the octopus chair/crab clock/puffer fish tv. So I got those off here. After that there wasn't much need to compete in the tourney anymore. I just wish villagers were so focused on the event. I hate having basically nothing to do on my game all day.

 

[ZebraQueen]

That why I don't do them no more
IL just prefer to catalog the set and I'm done
Plus it's boring sometimes
I like fishing sometimes and stay there for hours
But not when I know I have a tourney

 

[namiieco]

Yeah I always end up skipping them because I need pwps and to place pwps too
