Public Works Project failures..

[Khaelis]

Ever had one of those times where you were doing the swimming trick to get a PWP request off a certain personality type and on your way to that villager, someone came out of no where to ping you and you decided to talk to them, only to have them request a PWP you really don't care for?

It happened to me a THIRD time earlier.

I was trying to get Skye to request the garbage bin and on my way there, Mac came around a tree and pinged me, only to request a solar panel that I'll NEVER build. Ugh. This is why Mac isn't staying in my town so he can be replaced with Rudy. XD

So have ever had one of these moments?

Haha I was trying to get the flower patch pwp, and Walt came up and asked me for the worst pwp of all: the drilling rig. Seriously, Walt? You want a big ugly drilling rig in our beautiful town???

Hah, I'm after the Garbage bin, flower patch and brick bridge. I haven't gotten a single one.. at least I've been getting a couple decent requests.

 

[TortimerCrossing]

i dont get any of the pwp i want either.... very frustrating because ill do the diving trick for like 45 minutes and then i get stuck with pile of pipes.... like really.

 

[Mints]

same, ive been trying to get the garbage can for a while now. i just gave up after the 5th try lol. i'd rather just wait till i get it instead of getting it purposely and waiting for sheer disappointment.

I've been getting luck with getting a request in 30~ minutes recently, but I often get rear ended by wandering villagers and getting stupid requests.

First time it was Cherry with the Bus Stop..
Second it was Limberg with the Rack of Rice..
Now its Mac with the Solar panel..

I have to do the trick later tonight for today's PWP request and I'm hoping I don't have it happen again.

 

[K9Ike]

Yes, I HATE IT

Yeah I think in a few hours ill try the diving trick again but I think it's also more difficult when you are searching for specific PWPs.

For me its the metal bench, hammock, garbage can & flower arch. There's lots of others id like to but god knows my villagers wont request anything decent.

 

[MOON TRIPS]

I'm glad I don't bother with the diving trick or anything, for reasons like this.
I got really lucky with pwp requests in my old town. here's hoping that in my new town, it'll be the same.

Thankfully two of the PWPs I want come from Skye and she has the chance to suggest the brick bridge, the only problem is sometimes the villagers escape their 'pen' and manage to find me while on my way to Skye. <_<;;

 

[Aeryka]

Lmao. Honestly since I have a new town, I'm down for any PWP because I have like..none.
I tried the swimming trick, got like useless survey pings..then finally Erik pings and I was like "ghsjkhgs omg yes Erik give me something nice!" Was expecting the tire toy, water pump, jungle gym, or even sandbox. But he recommended a pile of pipes..

 

[Vizionari]

Yup, happened to me so many times with Hamlet.

Funny thing is, I actually want the solar panel suggested in my second town, hehe.

I was pretty lucky, Merengue pinged me for the fairytale bridge the 3rd time I did the diving trick. I was pretty much what I really needed, since you can't get pinged for bridges if there are three already built, and it's so inconvenient only having two bridges in town.

I've had one bridge for like.. 20 days now? The bridge is in a really good spot. XD

 

[secretlyenvious]

Ooo, do you have a town map pic? I'd like to see it. I personally like have one bridge at every segment of my river.

Uhhhh. Hold on and give me 5 minutes to take one. XD

 

[Millefeui]

I am still hoping one day Pashmina will suggest the windmill I want to build so badly.

 

[secretlyenvious]

The windmill is the best. I wish you luck! I placed mine over a cliff area, so when I'm fishing I can see it. I have the lighthouse over another cliff area, so it looks super cool at night when I'm standing on the beach.

Okay, here it is. XD

Oh, it is a very nice town.
I bet I'm just lazy, but I like having bridges at every bend. It allows better diffusion of villagers through town too. In your town, I'd place one more central-river, and another to the right-most side. In my town, the placement of Retail is similar! In fact, your town looks like my town, but flipped across the y-axis!
