thoughts on time travel?
- Thread starter Lord Citron
- Start date
I was in this Skype chat group for a week (maybe less) and there was this one guy that was really against TT. He was always going off about how TTers didn't know how to play the game and about how they were all lazy cheaters. Made a lot of people in the chat uncomfortable because a lot of us TT'd.
I mostly avoided him, but this one time I was looking for a specific item (worth maybe like 2k) and he offered to give it to me for free. So invited him to my town and after he left I noticed he had shaken 10 of my perfect peaches tree and taken the perfect fruit with him. I confronted him and told him to give it back to me and at first he didn't want to but eventually he did after the rest of the group pushed him. Afterwards he threw a fit, saying that I should have let him keep the fruit because I was a TTer anyway and I could just TTd until I had more fruit and demanded that I'd give him the free item back so I did. Haha. I honestly would have given him the fruit if he had just asked for it (and hadn't been such a jerk about it.)
I left the Skype group after that because he ruined it for me. But shortly after I left he apparently really wanted to see what Halloween was like so he asked a non-TTer to TT to Halloween for him and invite him over to her town. She said no, obviously. And he got really mad at her! He was ridiculous!
Also... this guy was like 24 when all of this happened.

I don't care how other people play their game 
but I personally don't time travel. It is definitely an exercise in patience waiting for things to happen or villagers to move out though, and a bit challenging trying to obtain dreamies since I can't cycle someone out when I want. But it's the way I choose to play ^_^

I'm trying to do this with my new town. But I'm so used to TTing that I find it incredibly challenging. What do you do for fun once you run out of things to do for a day? I need tips!

Hes weird
Tbh all these people want is to show you that they are not 'cheaters' but tting isnt cheating. If it was, we wouldnt have an option in game to change the time. People just want to seem popular and one way is to make something that people do seem bad

oh man, that made me laugh, it's just so ridiculous how riled up people can get over such a simple little thing.

I have nothing against people who do TT, as everyone has said, it's your game! I choose not to TT as I quite enjoy being able to load it up and see progress and changes the next day I'm also really frightened that I'll lose my favourite villagers!

i went back to dec. 1 to create my town (IRL it was about dec. 12) and time-traveled forward day by day to get to the present. i just wanted to start my town on the first of that month. i've done it a few times recently, but only to get 2 villagers out. i only went about 2-3 days into the future. i want to try not to do it with this town because i used to TT all of the time and months and months ahead and back. it took the fun out of it and one of my dreamies ended up leaving :c i have no problem with it though~

With a new town, I find there's always things you can be doing, even after the daily chores are done. Yesterday for example, I went to the island and did a few tours to earn medals because I decided I wanted to collect the whole mermaid furniture series. And I spent some time landscaping (*cough* chopping down trees *cough*), which earned me the moniker "stump maker" from the villagers >_<
You just kind of have to find things like that to do rather than focus on acquiring something
Good luck!- - - Post Merge - - -

It's definitely hard sometimes!
I don't time travel, I did it before in my previous town. I like waiting for stuff, I feel it makes the game more fun. I can totally imagine people TTing though... And I don't care. You should play the game how you like it best.

Such a tease!
I tt more in City Folk because I don't have dreamies in that town. I think it is fun to tt to 2am in the summer and look for the cool giant bugs. I also like to play Jingle's event on Christmas eve. I am more hesitant in New Leaf because I have traded with several people on this forum to get villagers I like.
I have one random question about tt. Do you have to deny a move before you quit playing for a while? Or will all of your villagers stay if you just tt to the date you stopped playing? I haven't played in a few weeks, but I can't remember if I denied a move before I stopped or not.

Pretty sure you have to stop someone before you stop playing for a long period of time
Yep! If you deny a villager, then save and quit, no one can move until the next time the game is loaded.
I TT all the time and I've never had anyone say anything about it, good or bad. It keeps the game exciting for me because I am super impatient when it comes to PWPs, house stuff, moving villagers, etc ...
Same i restarted on new years eve and set my towns date to november 1st and then tted to get out my unwanted villagers and move everyone else in and i just got caught up. Im not going past the real date anymore though. I want to avoid any rude comments because after that first comment that was said to me, i assumed people got mad if you TTedYep!

I still don't have an axe
Will hopefully get an axe and QR machine soon. I'd bring one over from my other town, but Im not allowed to transfer items for this challenge. Right now its not bad though because Im so broke I spend a lot of time in the island or just fishing around town. But what about once a town is fully developed?
I don't see the problem. It's like it's none of your business so it shouldn't even bother you. walk away. I used to time travel before all the time to get things faster and such, specially to have pwps up. now I don't time travel because I don't have time in my hands. and I actually like the way things are now even though it's a slow process.
TT doesn't bother me, in fact it has benefited me in the past. I have friends in different regions who have three or four copies of new leaf and TT all the time who are always inviting me over to get holiday items I couldn't otherwise get and I TT myself in my cycle town to give away villagers or adopt them myself into my main town. I don't see it as cheating tbh, it's just another feature to enjoy.
