A few years ago in the summer I was running around at midnight trying to catch a tarantula. Find one, run up to catch it and my character trips over right next to it. You can imagine what happened next. :S
Oh nooooo ;_; I've been too afraid to catch tarantulas and scorpions for that sole reason. I still need them for my encyclopedia, but that's one of the only parts about AC that actually stresses me out lol That takes the in-game bad luck mechanic to the next level though, tripping next to a tarantula..
Most recently used my shovel on some flowers, rather than a fossil pucker.
Ahhhh I did that the other day, a fossil decided to be right in the middle my white/red rose patch.. I didn't think it through, and instead of picking the roses first I just went straight in. Destroyed a pink rose D:
I had Rasher place his house RIGHT infront of mine... little bugger
They always wanna place themselves in the worst places, don't they? I have QR codes placed everywhere in my town except some plots I want villagers to move into (My town is very messy ;_; It'll only be this way until I get all of my dreamies at least though..) and somehow Rosie still managed to plant herself right in-between town hall and the plaza.. I love Rosie, but why there ;_;
had a dreamie move right on top of my BLUE and GOLD ROSE GARDEN!
... i swear, having blue and gold roses in my town is bad luck!
Aaa a blue and gold rose garden sounds very pretty though! I have pink and yellow roses
(Considering gold.. I have the beautiful town ordinance though, I'd have to undo it for them.) Dreamies just love to ruin flowers or move into bad places. At least they won't ruin paths anymore, right?
This isn’t really bad luck but it’s more like carelessness. But I usually hide my pitfall seed in the way back of my town where the train station is so I never have to dig it up again. Well one time I went back there to get a Jacobs ladder that spawned nearby, and I fell into the pitfall, destroying my “hiding spot”. The next couple days I spent tirelessly searching for the new pitfall location so I can dig it up and hide it again, but I kept falling into the damn thing because I’d run behind a bush and it would be behind it. It took me a couple of in-game days to actually find it and dig it up successfully. Haha it gave me so much stress knowing it was somewhere other than my hiding spot :<
I can see how that can give you stress though! I never thought about hiding it in the back of my town, that's a good idea.. I hate running into them, they're a bit annoying haha. It always seems to be my villagers that find them though.. Poor Bob ran into one right as I was about to dig it up. I wish you were able to cheer up villagers when they're moody, maybe by giving them a present or something ;o
I think the worst luck I have had was my favourite villager moving out the ONE time I ever time traveled. Thankfully amiibo cards were invented shortly after that. Other than that, I can't remember any instances of bad luck I have had.
Ooof, something similar happened to me in my old town. I was around 13, and figured out that you could time travel. I went a bit nuts with it (a kid with power) and Kitty moved out. I was never able to get amiibo cards though, they didn't sell them here (or at least I never saw them) and so I also didn't know about them. I got some when I bought Welcome Amiibo though! I really hope that when New Horizons comes out, the amiibos come back so I have a chance to collect them..
