Personality Types on NMT Islands Tied to Time

[ForgottenT]

Probably just confirmation bias, like all the people making Orville blush for luck.
Would make sense though since different personalities do different things based on time of day.

someone came into my stream while i was island hopping and told me this, i really felt annoyingly hurt about it (which is silly).

i found raymond at like 1AM. here's the thread with the villagers i found during my hunting as proof.

don't listen to anything sans proof, this stuff is getting really tiredT. i asked the person to come back with proof of what they were saying, and they said they would - but left instead. unsure if they were a troll or just spreading misinformation, but i hate it.

EDIT - sorry i read this as "only show up" rather than "increased spawn times."
either way, there's hope outside of the alleged times.
you guys got me all hot and bothered now so i'm going to try and figure out the personality types vs general times from my island hopping yesterday lmao

update - i categorized all the personalities based on what i found at 12pm until 1am and i still think it's all random.

Yeah I agree and see a lot now pushing this theory but there hasn't been any formal proof to confirm it. When I was testing for species roll, I actually did find a lot of proof to confirm the species roll theory, and proof against the game rolling personality in any way.

Does species roll mean if the first thing I see is a wolf I’m more likely to find wolves on multi islands, or is the roll only good for one island?

I will be doing about 80 island hops on Wednesday (finally an open plot~) so I'll record times to check this out further!
I think I will do as another person and take screenshots (so it will have the time) so it will be easier for me rather than writing each one down at the time of encounter.

And, by the way, if you guys aren't convinced by ctar's painstakingly accurate statistics, the species -> villager roll was confirmed by datamining. The mechanism ctar describes is the one that physically exists ingame.

Here's the word of The Guy (who found the Leif references, among other things, pre-release), if you don't believe us either:

All of these rumors keep starting up because YouTubers pick up on things friends say and then broadcast them to massive audiences. There's nothing to back this up- and the numbers, as well as the code, disagrees.

I hate to get so worked up, but it is genuinely so frustrating to see people's time wasted and to see players continually get fooled by misinformation!! I'm glad people are open about discussing this on the boards, or we'd be in big trouble.

I am pretty sure it is randomized, I went on a 27 ticket tour on stream from 4-6 PM. I ran into 6 Lazy, 5 Jock, 5 Smug, 4 Snooty, 4 Normal, 2 Cranky, and 1 Peppy. Seems very uncoordinated, in a good way, you never knew who you would get.

WAIT STOP THE PRESSES :O

So it's confirmed through datamining!

My tests worked! My analysis worked! I feel relieved that it's actually correct!

Oh my god, I thought you knew!! Yes, you were spot on!

Yeah, main reason why I relayed the hybrid document into guide form. Was tired of the misinformation being spread.

the last time i went island hopping looking for peppies (specifically audie like everyone else lsdkfj), i didn't find a single one and it was abt 3 am...idk what that might mean datawise but i found every personality type but peppy

Can I be mean and say I wish you were wrong because I want business cat? XP

Awesome job with your study and congrats on your theory being proven as fact. ^-^

I did tests and tests on data collected through playing the game (with the help of others), however, never at one point did I datamine because I lack the ability nor the desire to do so

My conclusions I came to from my testing held with additional testing, however, I could only leave them at that, not say they were the law of the game because I didn't look at the code.

Every time I go island hopping I will usually have my time around 8-9 AM and usually mostly get cranky and normal villagers. I went searching last time for peppy or uchi villagers and had the worst time finding just one, so this honestly wouldn't surprise me. Next time I go island hopping I'll try recording who I get and the times, just for more data.

Hey sorry, but this theory has already been debunked as false by formal stats testing and dataminers. Time of day does NOT have an effect on the personality.
