Operation: O'Hare Come Home
So recently, I got O'Hare (a dreamie) to move to my town. When his house was still a plot, I built a bridge nearby (which I was able to). It wasn't the specific bridge I wanted, but I needed convenient access until someone suggested the one I wanted. As it turned out, the next day when O'Hare moved in, someone actually suggested that bridge. Naturally, I went to delete the old one, welcomed O'Hare, and waited to build the new one the next day.
Then tragedy.
Because O'Hare's house is completed, constructing a new bridge in the same location as the one before isn't possible, according to Isabelle. :|Which sucks, because I love O'Hare, yet as I'm constructing my town, I need that bridge there. Which means, if I want it there, I'll have to get rid of O'Hare. And after a bit of deliberating, I've decided to start a cycling thread and go through the cycle of 16 to get my dreamie back. Which means, opportunities to nab some awesome villagers for you!
Obviously, there are several in my town that I am keeping. Some I'm ready to get rid of, and even then there are others I'm at a toss-up between staying and going (may depend on if I receive offers for them).Guide:

THE CYCLE IS COMPLETE! Only step remaining is for O'Hare to move back in!
RULES - PLEASE READ
- MY SCHEDULE. School is crazy busy for me. I can guarantee that this process will take time. A lot of time. Weekends are pretty much the best times for me - I'll be cycling variously throughout the day. On weekdays, you can expect (and not expect) me to be cycling anytime between 8PM-1AM EST. Slow, but you're less likely to miss a villager. Additionally, while in the mix of expecting villagers, I'll probably do a bit of plot cycling, so after a villager has been adopted, it may be a while before the next one is in boxes, ready to go.
- WAIT TIMES. When I am on, I will try to cycle fast. When I announce that a villager is in boxes, I will wait for however long before voiding them, depending on their tier. Tier 1 will be kept for 1 HOUR, Tier 2 for 45 MINUTES, Tiers 3 and 4 for 30 MINUTES, and Tier 5 will be AUTOVOIDED (unless they have lurkers, in which they will also be held for 30 MINUTES).
- LURKING. Please, only ask to lurk for villagers that are presently in my town. If you want to lurk for a villager, just post who it is that you wish to lurk for. Keep in mind, when I say they're staying, they're staying, so don't ask. Lurkers will be notified through PM when their villager is in boxes. The wait time for villagers with lurkers will be as posted. If, after that time, a lurker has not claimed them, then they will be available to ANYONE for the same amount of time before being voided.
- RESERVATIONS. Villagers can be reserved for 50 TBT, to be paid in addition to the villager's IGB asking price. Reserved villagers will be held for 24 HOURS. If, after 24 hours, the villager has not been claimed by the person reserving them, that villager will be made available to all once more for the amount of time determined by their Tier.
- IF YOU DO NOT PICK UP A VILLAGER AFTER 24 HOURS, YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. This is because, as slow as I am, I want to get back to having O'Hare again, and wasting an entire day isn't much fun. But the biggest thing here is COMMUNICATION. Life happens and I know that firsthand. If you know you'll be unable to claim a villager or want to cancel a reservation, just tell me and I'll refund you accordingly. If you had a valid reason for why you could not claim them during those 24 hours, just tell me. And lastly, if I somehow make a mistake and lose a villager that you reserved, you will be fully refunded accordingly and potentially compensated in addition. Because I'm human too.
- PRICES. Prices may be up for haggling, but for the most part, they will be sold at the price I list when I announce that they are in boxes. For villagers who aren't original, the price will be lower, but will still be sold within the price range associated with their tier. (When they're in boxes, I'll list the price with a brief explanation) Please be prepared to pay. And understand, if it's your dreamie for life and you're short the money, I totally get that and we can negotiate if need be.
- ON-THE-FENCE VILLAGERS. There are some villagers who I am on the fence about whether or not to get rid of them. Should I choose to get rid of them, they'll be switched to available. Otherwise, I won't be kicking them out unless I need or decide to. If you want a villager I have listed as on the fence, make me an offer. Based on what you offer, I'll consider whether or not I'm willing to get rid of them. Should I accept your offer, the villager will be moved to 'Available' status and you will be considered as a lurker. That villager's sale price, when in boxes, will be the offer you posted.
- IF YOUR VOID IS NOT CLEAR. If you know your void isn't clear, just let me know. This will not in any way be a deterring factor in adopting a villager; however, as this is my main town and not a cycling, I'd like to be informed so that I can plan on plot-resetting if I need to. That way, their house won't destroy anything or be in a bad spot should I choose to keep them.
- ADOPTION RULES. If you would like to adopt a villager, just post! First come, first serve basis (unless reserved). I will add you to my friend list and announce when my gates are open. When you come to my villager, please do not run. I will walk to the villager's house. When you confirm that the adoption was a success, I'll end the session and send you back home with your new villager!
- WHEN THE CYCLE ENDS. Basically, I'm doing this until I've gone through 16 villagers so my system erases its memory of O'Hare so I can have him return to my town (and somewhere that doesn't ruin the balance of everything XD) If you were lurking for/reserved a villager and I've already completed the necessary cycle, I'll still communicate with you if they're moving in the future. Granted, I'll be back on a regular, purist schedule, so it may take a while, but I won't forget about you, haha!
- FINISHED READING THE RULES? Bless you for your patience. Please include 'O'Hare Come Home!' in one of your posts to let me know that you've read and understand everything!
- QUESTIONS? Just ask me. I don't bite. I'm excited about this process and prepping my town for O'Hare's return, so I'm taking this as an opportunity to have some fun all the while.
