Personality Types on NMT Islands Tied to Time

[AshdewCrossing]

So I came across this Twitter post saying that certain times will make it more likely to encounter certain personality types, and noon is when the smugs come out.
Recently I did a bit of NMT hunting my own, and on my first trip I noticed that half my encounters were peppies, and on my second there was an overwhelming majority of female personality types. Granted, I only went on about ~40 trips total so it could just be a coincidence.
Has anyone who has been on a high number of trips noticed anything similar?

I feel the same way, I'm watching my friend do some mystery island runs and it looks like the same kind of personality is showing up in the same time span.

I'm not sure if it's coincidence but doesn't feel like it.

i haven’t gone island hopping in a bit, but i saw in that thread that crankies and lazies show up around the early afternoon and since that’s typically when i go on tours, i have encountered a lot of crankies and lazies during those trips so it’s entirely possible.

(also, just in case this is real, what time during the day did you find peppy villagers? i need audie lmao)

Sorry, I don't remember other than that it was during the day and in the PM, maybe between 3-5? The person in the twitter thread said they found Audie at 2:50pm. Hope you find her!

Do you remember which personality they were running into and what time it was?

I have another 50 NMT left so I might spend all of those and record who I run into. If we could get multiple people doing this at different times we could get some interesting data!

Whaaaat ? If it's true we need a chart lol
I play mostly during the day because of Miss Covid and so I do Island hopping during the morning or early afternoon, I noticed I've never seen a Cranky or a Smug and only ONE Snooty. And I desperately need Cranky and Snooty

 

[Chibin]

Sorry I didn't keep track of the time, but it was definitely a peppy time.

He saw Cheri and Patty twice...

Here is some data of island hoping at 3-4 pm

phil
megan
frank
portia
alfonso
peggy
pango
plucky
merengue
fuchsia

 

[Chibin]

I think this might be an outlier but I found Judy around 6:50PM

 

[cheezu]

Does anyone know when Snooties and Jocks appear?
I need both types for my Island.
I'd also like to replace my Normal.

When I first did island hopping, I know for sure I encountered a bunch of jocks between 1-2pm. Might've just been a coincidence though.

Ok guys I remembered I did some screenshots while I was Island hopping the last time, I have some data :

Quillson - Smug : 2:00pm
Fauna - Normal : 2:09pm
Cally - Normal : 2:15 pm
Pierce - Jock : 2:23 pm
Paolo - Lazy : 2:29 pm
Tank - Jock : 2:35pm
Judy - Snooty : 2:40pm
Anchovy - Lazy : 2:42pm
Ozzie - Lazy : 2:45pm
Mac - Jock : 2:47pm (I even forgot I met him lol)
Tank - Jock : 2:52pm
Audie - Peppy : 2:58pm

It seems there's a little more Jock and Lazy in the list but don't now if it's really significant...

I went about 40 times back to back and this is what I remember encountering:
x3 Pango (snooty)
x2 Vic (cranky)
Dom (jock)
Dobie (cranky)
Molly (normal)
Graham (smug)

I had a feeling it wasn't random because I saw multiple duplicates and I didn't see many cats or rabbits which I have a lot of already.

 

[Chibin]

From what I'm seeing it might be a 60% chance more than other kinds?

What was the time of the day you islandhopped ?

 

[EvilSide]

Oh I definitely feel this way too! I remember that the first time I farmed I was surprised at the amount of normals I was getting even though I already had one in my island! I wish I remembered what time it was...

 

[Babylon]

What was the time of the day you islandhopped ?

Ugh it was a few days ago but I was TTing so that means I would have set my time sometime from 12-2pm.

I distinctly remember NOT seeing a lot of peppy or sisterly personalities.

 

[Chris]

If this is true then once we have more information maybe my hunt for a snooty villager will one day prove successful. Had terrible luck so far!

Thanks ! I think I will try within those hours to see...

Same but with Cranky lol

 

[Shyria]

I don't go on huge streaks but I started taking screenshots of everyone I encountered to keep some data...
Here's what I have:

2:42pm - Leonardo (JOCK)
2:51pm - Nan (NORMAL)
2-59pm - Simon (LAZY)
3:01pm - June (NORMAL)
3:05pm - Ken (SMUG)
3:13pm - Biff (JOCK)
3:19pm - Clay (LAZY)
3:21pm - Colton (SMUG)
3:27pm - Egbert (LAZY)
3:28pm - Phoebe (UCHI)
3:35pm - Zucker (LAZY)
3:39pm - Annalise (SNOOTY)
3:41pm - Harry (CRANKY)
3:48pm - Poncho (JOCK)
4:02pm - Drake (LAZY)

So out of the 15 villagers I encountered between 2pm-4pm, lazy is the one I encountered the most with 5 lazy villagers! I also met 3 Jocks, 2 Smugs, 2 Normal.

Went on a few tours another day at night, let's see...
9:38pm - Elise (SNOOTY)
9:48pm - Grizzly (CRANKY)
10:07pm - Rhonda (NORMAL)
10:52pm - Peewee (CRANKY)
11:00pm - Boyd (CRANKY)
11:06pm - Kyle (SMUG)

Not one lazy this time, but 3 out of 6 crankies!
Could be a coincidence.... But I'd like it if there was something more to it hehe!!
Let's see with others data...

 

[AshdewCrossing]

This is my record for 20 trips made at about 9pm, don't think I had enough sample size to deduct which personality is preferred at this hour but it's probably not cranky.

Interesting about the crankies, someone on the Twitter thread (i think) also mentioned the times they come out are related to their sleep cycles, so since crankies sleep the latest it makes sense that you'll be more likely to run into them in the late PMs!
