Odd town rules that people have

[Uffe]

I don't see why the "don't talk to villagers" rule is so odd to some people? Maybe they just don't want their villagers talking about some random person they traded with like, once?

Could you imagine your villagers talking about Dingdong from Butthole town? Yeah, I can see why people are "weird" like this. I'm thinking of adopting this idea for my new town and being exclusive about who I open my town to.

I haven't ever really written down rules before. All I really care about is people not shaking my perfect fruit or money trees (or just asking before shaking in general), running over hybrids or stealing anything, which most players do anyway out of common courtesy. I've only really had issues with new players behaving inappropriately but I'm not too hard on them because it's usually because they don't know any better rather than them being inconsiderate.

In those cases I'll just say something like "I have a few town rules I'd like you to follow. Can you try not to run over the flowers and if you want any items or fruit, ask me instead of just taking things. If you do accidentally run over a flower and destroy it, please let me know so I can reset."

I think that by letting people into your town you need to accept that a few things will occasionally go wrong. You might lose a flower or two, have some bare trees for a couple of days or have villagers mentioning people you don't even remember. If you are careful when people you don't know well come over by keeping track of them, frequently checking your town for any damage and not leaving your DS unattended, it is very unlikely that you will suffer any significant loses. I personally think that playing online is worth the risks because you will gain a lot more than you lose in the form of items and help in the game, as well as memorable experiences and lasting friendships.

All I have to say to that is enjoy boxing yourself in. You're better off having people come and help you advance your town then doing it all yourself, but that is YOUR choice. =)

I hardly ever see the rule of no talking to villagers. Guess it's not as common as some make it out to be. Of course, I don't frequent the Wi-Fi boards.
Yes, I understand people make such rules because they want to. Don't make me feel bad for stating an opinion. ;A;

"Don't enter my museum"

Bump. =)

Why would someone care if you enter their musuem? Unless they are worried you will donate something and it will forever have your name on it??

I probably have a lot of rules too, but I never tell anyone my rules. lol I just prefer not to let anyone into my town. I only trust a small handful of people to walk around my town without me following them.

But since I feel so stressed out by strangers roaming around, I'm SUPER mindful when I go to other people's towns. Even if it's a strange rule, I follow it. I figure they worked hard on their town like I did, and they have a right to put whatever rule they want.

They don't want you to see their secret over-the-top 2F shrine exhibit of Bob.

I had someone I was trading with ask to go to my museum, look at my display rooms, which I use for storage of rare items, and start trying to wheel and deal with me for a trade. It was getting so annoying, because I kept saying no, those are items I'm storing because I want to keep. The trade was already over, but I felt kind of violated and judged, cuz he kept saying things like "but you have 2 of this"...some people can be really pushy.

Dingdong from Butthole Town

brb, buying a cart specifically for this.

Yeah, I don't understand the "no talking to villagers" rule. I mean, come on. People get their villagers from other people. Those villagers would talk about their old town all the TIME - even more frequently than they talk about visitors.

Omg I always thought that the "don't talk to my villagers" rule was so weird! The only rule I have is not to steal my flowers, other than that I don't care what you do.

 

[oath2order]

the no talking to villagers so they don't remember and a villager says"I remember Someone from Anytown!"

I've gotten 7/10 villagers from other towns, and they are CONSTANTLY singing other town tunes etc....it is very annoying. But I also like it because I feel like they have a history of their own, they feel more real that way. I don't mind when they talk about other people either.

My thoughts EXACTLY, hahaha.

the no talking to villagers so they don't remember and a villager says"I remember Someone from Anytown!"

This was mentioned above as "Dingdong from Butthole Town" =P But yeah and it's true, but if you got them from other towns (most likely unless you're EXTREMELY lucky) they're going to do stuff from their own towns anyway. So then it makes that point moot most of the time.
