Has the game taunted you like it has me?

The desire sensor is real. I'm not too picky with villagers as a result. If I go looking for a villager on nook mile islands, I'm kind of okay with just hoping for a decent-looking villager with the personality type I'm looking for. Luckily, when I was looking for a new smug villager, I got Lopez on my third ticket! But now I'll be looking for a jock. I found Pierce and Kody last time as the two before Lopez, so I'm hoping I get lucky and find someone good looking like them this time.
 
The RNG does that to me with Audie. I let her go and I’ve seen her on islands a few times since. I felt super guilty about selling Sherb but I found him again a few tickets in when I wasn’t looking for him and decided to bring him back.
Then sometimes I go looking for a handful of villagers and come back with one I never thought of named Bones
 
It's never the ones you are looking for. I'm usually relaxed about finding villagers with nmts. I only care about the personality most, and design wise - I practice broad love. I treat gorillas and deer equally.

From the two island hopping experiences I had taken pictures of (total 20-25 nmt), I have met Fauna, Maple, Lopez, Raddle, Flurry, Phoebee, Peanut, Fuchsia and Daisy. These are all pretty popular villagers. I took home Fuchsia, whom I adore, but I was using these tickets to find a snooty.

I think when you have one specific villager that you wanna search for, the rng will begin to wear you down. I always amiibo specific villagers - othewise, it's just too painful.

my rng luck is awful lmao - i got a message in a bottle from lolly a few weeks ago and she’s one of my dreamies ;w;
 
I found Erik on my first ticket and found Fang after 3 tickets.
Then took me 46 to find another villager (i was looking for normal, snooty or jock). Found Leonardo for jock on my last ticket. I only encountered like 4 normals that whole time, not ones i wanted though.
I have yet to have a meteor shower on my island (been playing since march).
 
I love looking at my campsite cycling tracker bc you can literally see the desire sensor kicking me in the face repeatedly. If only I kept track of my last island hopping spree. It would be such a depressing sight.
 
I saw Apollo like 4 times on island trips before deciding I wanted him on mine. I never had luck finding him after that (though now I'm not as desperate as I found 2 other cranky villagers I love).
 
My brother has seen every rhino on mystery islands multiple times and I who wanted basically all of them never found any except Hornsby, and Renée but only after I had given up and ordered an amiibo for her.
 
Everyone online is always saying “I get a new camper every 7-10 days!!!” but I haven’t had one in 16 days. Before that it had been 14 days, and it ended up being a villager my brother has. I don’t even want to watch Isabelle during her useless “announcements” anymore.
Also, I rarely ever get C.J.
 
Yes and no for me. I've gone searching for some villagers about 4 times now. The first time I went searching for Sherb, and in my mind on my 2nd try im like, not gonna get him, and I get him. Another two island hunting times I was really hopeful to get one of the villagers I like but I did not. On my last most recent try, I had 100 tickets, was really looking forward to enjoying some hunting, not expecting to get one of my favs in the first few tries, and on the 5th try, I get the one villager I had to have no matter what (Willow). I guess in a way, when I don't expect to get what I want for villagers I do, and when I expect to find someone I want I don't get them.

In addition, I have been looking for butch a bit, with no luck, but I have gotten 2 messages in a bottle from him.
you've cursed yourself now, you realize that right?

my hubby gets a new camper every 4 or 5 days... i went 24 days without one... some mornings i just want to throat-punch her, and feel guilty(mildly) about it(i swear that's some sorta dark rum on the rocks in that glass beside her, no one is naturally that cheerful!)... so far i am roughly now going about 2 1/2 weeks between cj/flick visits, haven't seen celeste in over 2 weeks, whisp i can't remember the last time except it's been well over a week... when i have gotten a camper, do i get what i don't have? NOPE... how about we sacrifice isabelle to the RNG gods... we need a volcano island...
 
I encountered Claude on my third trip to the mystery islands....when I wasn't looking for him.
Now he's stuck with that ugly lazy starter room because I don't have his amiibo card.
 
Every time I trade for or buy a diy, I’m basically guaranteed to find it in a bottle or have a villager on my island craft it the next day.

Also, every time I’ve bought an amiibo card, in the time I’m waiting for it to arrive in the mail, I find that same villager on an island...
 
Well you guys seem to have terrible luck 0-0

My first campsite villager was Marshal

I had Judy natually move in (no NMTs or trading involved)

I found Lily (one of my dreamies) on my 2nd NMT island

One of my starters was Dom (no resetting)
 
I can’t count how many times I got Apple. Once got her twice on scorpion island and then the rest was just regular islands. Then she was in my campsite once. She seems to like scorpions. That’s my new head canon for her. Apple the scorpion tamer.
 
isabelle: camper today!!11!!!!!

me: oh gosh. If it's someone like Boyd imma scream and die.

camper : b o y d
