Why wont the PwP trick work for me anymore:(

[MajesticMayor]

I do the trick where you go into the water for 5 minutes and come out and I used too always get a ding but now I never get a ding. I have even changed my outfit too see if that was the case but it wasn't. Any ideas on why it doent work anymore?

 

[JellyBeans]

Have you stayed away for long enough? If not it won't work. And people don't always ding straight away. I have had to go round the town 2 or 3 times sometimes. It will work eventually.

 

[MajesticMayor]

ya I always make sure its 5 minutes. Really i still works if they dont ding right away?

 

[JellyBeans]

Yes. Sometimes, after I've been round all the villagers, no one dings so run in front of them a few times just in case. If you bury them in a place (dig holes all around them) it's easier to find them.

Sometimes if you play too much, you have to talk to a villager and they'll tell you that you've been playing too much and you need a break.

It's a way of getting Public Works requested, since the chances aren't that high.

You empty your pockets, including money, so that the villagers won't ask you to buy, sell, or trade items.

You then put on your wet suit and swim for 5 minutes. (Or longer)
This will cause them to wonder where you are.

If you go back to your villagers, they might be surprised to see you, and when you talk to them, they might suggest a project.

then what? just save and quit then start again?

No, you don't have to save or take a break. They'll just say it now and again.

Yeah, they won't ping if they need to tell you to take a break. So just talk to one of the villagers once and continue doing the swimming trick.

is there a limit on doing this?

No

 

[MajesticMayor]

It still isnt working for me nobody dings ever..

 

[Joey]

I just tried this and straight away when I walked past Chief, he just suggested the modern street light.

 

[MajesticMayor]

So can I walk around the town as many times and someone will for sure ding?

 

[JaneyBriggs]

I am going to try this tonight, I want someone to suggest the police station, I might cry if they don't soon.

 

[Cazqui]

doesn't work for me either. sometimes my villagers give me stuff for free

 

[MajesticMayor]

Well it's not automatic PwP request it's just too get a ding but nobody dings for me anymore

That's why you should fill your entire pocket with flowers or sea shells. Also, have no bells on you. They won't offer you anything or want you to buy anything.
