Streetpass question

[ravenblue]

I have multiple towns that I play on two systems. I interchange the cartridges into both systems. I haven't done any streetpassing until today. I have Ravena in one system, a second town in the second system and a third town that I played yesterday, but not today.

Third town and second town each have streetpass enabled. Ravena's system has streetpass enabled, but Digby told me that Ravena itself was not enabled for streetpass. Closed my systems to do some stuff, came back and found the green light on both systems. Opened Ravena, had to ask Digby to set up streetpass so I could enter the house plaza and found I'd picked up second town's house.

Opened system with second town and found, not Ravena's house in the house plaza, but third town's house in the house plaza. How? I don't understand that at all since third town hadn't been played since yesterday and wasn't even in a system.

Anyone know how this works? That it can send out a streetpass for a cartridge that's not even in the system at the time?

Yes it can! I believe streetpass data is stored on the SD card, this is how you can streetpass for all your games and not just the one currently playing. Very likely you just had that third town set up for streetpass in that particular 3DS.

Ahh, ok! That makes sense. And I will soon find out if "clearing the void" actually works haha, since last voided villager in third town was Pietro, and second town has a vacancy. I sent third town on an errand to a ten villager town yesterday, which theoretically means the void should be "cleared". I may update if I find Pietro has plotted in the second town after all.

Oh nice, it will be an interesting test! I heard it doesn't always work.
