Unlucky Things

[Elo]

Today I seem to be the unluckiest person in AC: NL, so I'm curious, what are some unlucky things that have happened to you?

Earlier my circle stick broke again, which is fine - I knew I'd have to replace it anyway - it's been glued together twice now. What I didn't realize was that opening up my 3DS like that would reset the system's date, which I should've looked at as soon as I booted my DS again. Anyway, I hopped onto New Leaf and find out that the date's been reset to 1/1/2012, meaning I've got to TT all the way back to the present now. I figured ~5 days at a time wouldn't be too bad, but after my second 5-day hop, Fauna is gone. ;~; The only good thing is that I've caught some things for the museum I didn't have and maybe I've cycled enough to get Beau back, but man today was not my day at all.

It's actually better to TT 3 days at a time and every 3 days, check if anybody is moving. If somebody is, you may either deny them or let them move. My bad luck would be dealing with all the rain! Every time I have vacation, I usually go ahead and grow gold roses for that vacation. But there's always that continuous period of rain/snow that yields any gold rose production, it once snowed a whole week! Plus the rain is actually pretty glum weather in ACNL, I love to see the sun out in the summer.

I had Peanut in one town and cycled to get her out for almost 3 weeks, and she still didnt move while the other villagers came and went. I didn't understand why she wouldn't leave.

Yeah, I've decided a smaller skip is better (I've managed to cycle before with no issues), I'm just a bit anxious to get back to the present I think, but I know I'd screw it up terribly if I went in one jump. But apparently (since I'm sitting here googling things) if you deny someone you can make huge jumps with no issues? I wonder if that's true and something I could do.

Oof, that stinks! I haven't tried to grow gold roses yet myself, but having it rain/snow a lot certainly would be a setback. Hopefully the weather will be more cooperative for you soon.

I can assure you this is true!! Make sure as soon as you deny them moving, you save + quit and then tt to the current date. Your villagers will claim it's been awhile since they last saw you but no one will have moved out.


The only unlucky thing that I've had happen to me was when I was TTing day by day in my first town and I guess I neglected to talk to everyone and Marina ended up in boxes without any warning. ;u;

I had an unlucky day on my birthday last year. I kept tripping all over the place.

That's wonderful!! It's going to save me a lot of headache.

Oh no! I had that happen with Beau, and I've been trying to cycle him back since.

Aw, it's really annoying to trip I know (once I fell 4-5 times in one Main Street trip), but it's even worse if it's on your birthday. D:

I find tripping to be extremely annoying. It lasts like 3 seconds, but it's weird to see my character fall so many times in a very short timespan.

I took my very first streetpass balloon over to a friend's town to show it off, tripped in front of my friends and the balloon went sailing up, up and away. Karmic payback for being a showoff. Lesson learned: do NOT run with a balloon, just in case.
