Hello everyone! I found something interesting in my game, my game hasn't spawned pitfalls in the ground at all for every day for about a month around the time after my cranky villager moved out. My current villagers I have are of Normal, Peppy, Snooty, and Smug personalities, no jock, lazy, or crankies.

Has anybody else noticed this or is there something wrong with my game? lol
 
Oooohh, I've never experienced this before! My town is super dense and forested so I can easily miss where the pitfall seed spawns in my town so perhaps you are not seeing where it spawns? I also buried a pitfall behind a tree a few months ago and I haven't had any spawn since <3 It gives me anxiety when I'm walking around that I'll fall in one lol. Maybe your pitfall seed is hiding somewhere?

I was thinking that too it was hiding somewhere but I've literally looked everywhere through my town and no pitfall seeds to be found! I feel you though when it comes to the anxiety about falling in one!

Wondering if this cranky villager somehow stole my gyroid too as well as your pitfall seed! >: (
 
Lol! They'll use pitsfalls and gyroids for our graves.

That's what I'm starting to think too. He always kept insisting on knowing if I perfered mac and cheese or spaghetti. That'll be my fate, he'll give me poisoned mac and cheese. D:

oh my gosh! I really hate Monty. he's just so lame

Right? At first I thought he was alright, but as soon as I faced against him in Puzzle League.. I called Wisp to get me Felicity in my town and there was the max 10 residents at that time so you can guess who I kicked out lol
 
I didn’t have a cranky villager for a period of time and I still got pitfalls all the time. Maybe your game is just being weird?
 
This is interesting! They should make a mischievous personality too! It would be a mix between lazy and cranky and they would bury more pitfalls and pull little pranks on you!
 
I have my pitfall and 4 fossils buried on my beach so no more can spawn. ^_^
 
He's moving out in a few days in my game and I can't wait!
Monty sucks!

I have my pitfall buried behind retail. I should probably bury my fossils too, so they don't spawn. But I don't know, I can't bring myself to do it. I just find them and put them in my dresser and do a big batch when I need to go donate a painting. Once I have my museum filled out completely, I probably won't do it anymore. It does earn me some bells, which I don't really need, but every now and then I come across a fossil a friend wants for their museum or for making miniatures.

But yeah, I'm pretty sure your pitfall is just somewhere very, very well hidden.
 
It would be cool to see a mischevious personality, that sounds like a good idea! It's so strange, I've looked over the entire town quite a bit especially thanks to hide and seek games with the villagers. I'm wondering if because I put a PWP over a dig spot which probably has the pitfall in it, and that it somehow got stuck there forever or something like that? Interesting though, I didn't know they would stop spawning until dug up!
 
I want so bad for this to be true and not just a pitfall that's really good at hiding. It makes me irrationally happy to imagine Chief waiting til I go to bed every night and sneaking out to go plant pitfalls...
 
I usually bury the pitfall somewhere else, like far away from me and the villagers.

That's smart! I love all of my current villagers so I'd rather not have them fall in a pitfall!

I'm starting to believe it's true! I've done a whole run-through of my town again, I couldn't find a thing! I even used the D-pad up to look up to make any objects disappear from my field of vision, no pitfalls! That'd be so funny to imagine, that must explain why they stay up until 4 a.m. probably plotting a plan for the next pitfall victim! xD

I've noticed that when I place a PWP over a buried item, one of two things happen. The item either ends up in my police station's lost and found, or it just ceases to exist. I bet that you have a Tricky Pitfall Seed hiding behind a bush somewhere. Just deliberately bury a Pitfall Seed somewhere in your town where you won't have to worry about stepping on it by accident. (I buried mine in one of the uppermost corners of my town, behind my campground.) Once you have a Pitfall Seed buried somewhere in your town, they stop spawning.
