Megaphone

[J087]

Do you use your megaphone? It's a horrible item imo.

And, how do you pronounce "Beau"? I always get a reaction from Kapp'n or Ankha. -.-"
Even if I moo like a cow I get a reaction from Ankha.

 

[Chessa]

I do use it but it isn't always working the way it should

 

[effluo]

I don't use it that often. Only time I use it is to wake up Gulliver when he is being difficult.

 

[Bear_Crossing]

I think you pronounce Beau, being Bow.
Also, I dislike the megaphone, but when I say villagers' names, it always works.

 

[Jinglefruit]

I don't use it, it doesn't seem to have a great sucess rate and taking up 1/16th of your storage for something that saves you 10 seconds if you're searching for someone doesn't seem a good trade to me.

Beau is pronounced like a bow tie. It's french for beautiful I believe.

 

[J087]

So I pronounce it correctly (as I thought). Yet only Kapp'n ever replies even if Beau is visible in my screen.

Does it have a good effect on Gulliver? I also hate constantly having to poke him.

 

[Bear_Crossing]

Yes, Gulliver responds waaay quicker with the megaphone.

 

[Chessa]

It works great on Gulliver

 

[effluo]

Gulliver always wakes up immediately after using it for me.

Not sure if that's normal or not.

 

[J087]

Oh great! I'll toss the megaphone on the beach.

Beau replied just now to my call!
"Beau" might be pronounced as "Bow", but also as "Bee-you" as in beautiful. At least we know that now.

 

[Ras]

I carry it around a lot. It can be finicky, but it's helpful. I now use it to guage friendship levels, but I usually use it just to see who is outside. It can really help with Joan and Katie.

 

[nacy]

i LOVE cursing into it and see who responds, i'm basically a 12 y/o boy

 

[Jinglefruit]

Oh great! I'll toss the megaphone on the beach.

Beau replied just now to my call!
"Beau" might be pronounced as "Bow", but also as "Bee-you" as in beautiful. At least we know that now.

Ah, that might just be cause the game is programmed to think all names are phonetic?
I used to have to call Mathilda as Math instead of Mat-ilda to get her to respond.

I should buy one and see what it makes of Fuchsias cluster of consonants.

 

[Suave_Spencer]

I've never even bought one. Don't really see the point.

 

[nacy]

I've never even bought one. Don't really see the point.

honestly sometimes when i just want to get delivery items out of my inventory but cannot for the life of me find them i'll use it

 

[Neriifur]

It's convenient when I can't find someone +__+ But yeah a lot of times it's useless because Whitney is out shopping almost all day long <_______<

 

[twerkstrider]

it works most of the time, but there are certain villagers that just never respond. saying "hazel" always gets a shout from pecan and it drives me crazy!

 

[J087]

I said "Tia", for Tia the elephant. No response.
I said "Thai", she responded.
I said "Thai" again, Phoebe responded.

 

[juneau]

The idea is great, but it's hard getting the right person to respond sometimes. For instance, in what universe does "Rosie" sound like "Ankha"? Wasn't even a fluke, happened at least three times today. I can understand the confusion with the more similar names like Mira and Merengue, but come on, those don't even have a single letter in common.

It's good to know you can summon Joan with it though, never tried that. Do you pronounce her name like "Jone" or "Jo-ann"?

Also, about the "Beau" thing, I'd also say it like "bow".

 

[Ras]

Jone. Turnip buying can be a breeze or a hassle depending on the distance she is from the train station, but the megaphone helps at least find her.
