I just did puzzle #50 in Monster Manor. Christ. I spent more than half an hour on it and then I just looked up a solution online. With smaller puzzles I usually just try to place the largest/strangest piece and then try variations of other placements around it. This one was too large for that though. I had no idea of what methodology to use. I was just randomly placing pieces. Ugh. At least that's one down towards that ticket.

Congrats. I gave up on 50 after a hour or something, but I was too lazy to look up the solution...

Really brief. Miis in rooms who have:
-More than 2 passes not played mansion (any puzzle)
-above but Played the game (puzzle they have beaten)
IIRC you refuse to team up for the latter.
So Miis in rooms. Any Miis whose pieces you have used this session can appear when you make a room but they are not guaranteed to.
AFAIK you get them randomly in special street pass encounters, meaning people who you have tagged multiple times or people who own the game. From my experience, it works the same way as special seed drops in Flower Town.
Lol, yeah. I don't know how much credit I deserve for looking up the solution. If anything it was a moral victory in me deciding that I wouldn't waste another minute of my existence randomly plugging away on it.

I had to look up puzzle box solutions starting around puzzle #20. No patience for that kind of stuff and I was just having other people solve the puzzles for me at that point anyway. If there weren't a plaza ticket tied to it I wouldn't have bothered at all.

Out of 1,500 tags, I've found 3 people that beat Arcade Mode on Normal and zero that beat it on Hard.
So I posted about this here last year, and it's back again this year! Some of you here participated last year, so hopefully those people and more join in again this time! =)
Here's the thread from last year as well, with all the information about Mii Profile Picture March: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=521253
Mii Profile Picture March is back again for 2014, celebrating three years of Nintendo 3DS and StreetPass! Hopefully we can make it even bigger this time!

I am trying to understand how the SP relay works after reading these two posts:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=100384598&postcount=2784
So, if I got this right, it's like this:
- Server is accessed
- You get 1 piece of data for each of the (up to) 12 games you might have activated.
- You also get 6 new Miis for the plaza and unlike a real StreetPass, you only get the Miis and not their piece of SP data for each activated game, so no 6x12 but 1x12 [at most, and only one pass per title] + 6 Miis.
If all of the 6 have played Bravely Default but there's currently no active BD data on the server (for whatever reason, if the last Mii connected didn't leave BD data on the server), you won't get BD data and vice versa, if none of the 6 have played BD, you may also get BD data too (for whatever reason, if there is BD data in the server).
So, the server stores 6 Miis but only one set of titles from the latest Mii connected and once you get that set of data, it's removed from the server and replaced by your own (but 5 Miis without SP data still remain).
Did I get that right?

I was going to go later on, but then realised that the League Cup final was on, and a pub might not be the best place for a meet.
It's so funny to read your post. I've been in and out of this thread for a few years and no one has ever ask a question like this in this way. I guess everyone's brain works differently. Because of the way that you phrased your post I'm not not exactly sure what you might be confused about or what you might need more information on; I don't know what frame of reference you were coming from when you wrote that.
To respond most simply, nothing in your post seems wrong per-say, just a bit muddled.
To simplify what you wrote:
- Server is accessed
- You get 1 piece of data for each of the (up to) 12 games you might have activated.
- You get up to 6 pieces of data for the street pass plaza.
You seem to think that street pass plaza data or "Miis" (as you say it) share a special status within the OS. They don't. It is all just game/app-specific data. The street pass plaza data does not leave the street pass plaza. Nor does the data for other games leave their respective games.
Yes, that is theoretically possible. Again, game/app-specific data only relates to their respective games/apps. Within the street pass plaza you get to see the last piece of software that the person has played but that does not necessarily mean that they have street pass plaza activated for that title, though it does 99% of the time. This is kind of an abstract question.
As I said above, you are coming from the wrong perceptive by thinking about "Miis" as some distinct special thing: it simply stores 6 sets of Street Pass Plaza data.
Regarding the replacement of data, I will expand what I wrote above:
- Server is accessed
- You get 1 piece of data for each of the (up to) 12 games you might have activated. Your data then replaces this data and you can't Street Pass with this relay for these titles until another 3DS comes to replace your data.
- You get up to 6 pieces of data for the street pass plaza. Your data then replaces the oldest of the 6 pieces of data for the plaza, but this is only relevant to other people. You cannot pass with any of this data again (or until those 3DS owners return). For this reason it is common for me to only get 2-4 passes (instead of 6) when I visit my local relay.
I hope that was helpful.

I have a problem - I'm addicted to getting street pass relays for my 3DS. It started out innocently enough. While getting absorbed into animal crossing: new leaf, I'd go to public hot spots hoping to get street pass hits. I was always trying to get new pieces of furniture for my sweet home in The Shire.
This habit eventually turned into playing Find Mii and collecting puzzle pieces from Mii Plaza. Which lead to collecting new hats for my mii dude.
Now in places like Japan, it's no problem getting hits from other people while out in public. Here in the states, however, it's a bit harder. Then Nintendo introduced street pass relay! I started driving to McDonalds, Home Depot, Barnes & Noble, and different AT&T stores on a daily basis. Eventually, my love of collecting hats prompted me to purchase the other mii plaza games: Mii Force, Monster Manor, Warrior's Way, and Flower Town.
Long story short, now I find myself driving to street pass relay locations on my way to and from work, and also whenever I know it's been 8 or more hours since the last time I went to one. While it's not impossible, I find it humorously unlikely that there are other people wasting gas money just to collect street pass relays on a daily basis. But there you have it - I do. Everyone should be cautiously aware of the dangers that your 3DS possesses. First you just wanna try using a 3DS. Next thing you know it's hardcore streetpass relay addiction.
Find out if you have the symptoms. Seek help immediately if you do.

I don't even bother taking my 3DS out with me to get streetpasses. Even in a bigger city I haven't gotten many.
But I go to MAGFest and Otakon every year where I can get over 500 at each con depending on how much I check my 3DS. It's actually really annoying that it maxes out at 10 (even doubling the cap to 20 would be better) in these kinds of situations. So my plaza has over 2000 people after a year and a half of going to conventions.
Outside of cons, I'm always surprised when I do get a street pass. Makes me sad in a way

Did you considered buying a rooted android phone yet ?
An interesting trend that has happened on my end, is the increase of indie & GameBoy games that have been played with the Mii's that I've acquired, with Mighty Switch Force 2, Bionic Commando, & Super Mario Land III: Wario World being among them.
Now, if only if I could get some people to play some Luigi's Mansion multiplayer with me....

I am just curious about how things work. I like to understand why stuff happens, whatever something works/it's successful or not.
This is what triggered my curiosity:
Which I still don't quite understand [the reason] :\http://www.reddit.com/r/bravelydefault/comments/1xizpu/streetpass_bug_fix/ said:
Not really. I just think of the Miis as actual people/handhelds connecting to the server, but now I can see what you're talking about [where we differed]: Miis are the actual pass data of the Plaza as a game title [just like the data you get for Bravely Default, A Link Between Worlds, etc]. So the amount of SP data you get is: 6 [exclusively for the Plaza] + up to 11 for the rest of the titles [and only one per title]. The StreetPass Mii Plaza is just a regular game title that receives more data than the rest, that's all.
It was. Thank you! :]

Yay, completed the 3D World puzzle today!
Wow, your story is very similar to mine except the game that got me streetpassing was Pokemon Rumble Blast as I wanted to get all the Toys for having 150 people visit your in game store. I bought the 4 additional streetpass games too because I felt I was wasting the people I met if I just used them for puzzle swap and find mii. Lastly I also take the long way home to squeeze in another relay at either a nearby Mcdonalds or Starbucks. You are not alone with this addiction.
Does anyone else still collect the Mario & Sonic Virtual Cards? I'm missing the very last card (which I assume is the final one you get, like a reward for getting the other 73) and one which doesn't seem to be very rare (number, 34, two stars) but me and my friends still don't have them after a lot of tags. Was any of them exclusively available through Spotpass distribution or something?
I know is a terrible and useless app, but I don't want to give up now that I'm so close to being done with it

Fair enough. What I am really wondering here is if you are having a technical problem with your street passing that you are indirectly trying to address by asking these questions. If that is the case you would be better off just asking directly.
If not, there is certainly nothing wrong with curiosity. I myself have spent a lot of mental energy trying to figure this stuff out.
That person's statement is meaningless. Don't get hung up on it.
Again, if you are having a technical problem I can't really help you unless you state what it is directly.
Edit: I just read more at the link. I don't use home pass so I can't comment on this. I have never had this problem at normal relays. I have found street pass to be somewhat imperfect in general. I have a second 3DS and I even have trouble passing with that every couple of months. My general advice is to clear out your street pass ques for all games and to restart the system. I don't know what is going on technically but this has always cleared up the issue for me.
Yup. Actually, I don't know the specific number for the rest of the titles (11 or 12) because I have never had to play with these settings.
No problem.

In my last ~40 tags there have been 2 people with it as their last played software (I decided to try going to the eShop page to see if it was a backdoor, nope error message and software unavailable) if that means much. I don't have software myself.Does anyone else still collect the Mario & Sonic Virtual Cards?

Have you tried deactivating every other games' StreetPass features? It worked for me when I was having the same problem as you. AC has to share more information than the average game with each StreetPass, so the less games activated the bigger the chance of getting it to work if you're having trouble. I turned everything off except for the plaza and Mario Kart 7, and now I get a hit for AC every time. Try it if you haven't already done it. Hope it works.
I don't think there's any glitch related to filling the Showcase, by the way, or at least it hasn't happened to me or my brother.
This is pretty much the only thing I haven't tried. I will do it right now and report back this evening!
I really should set my raspberry pi up so it cycles between 10 different mac addresses every 8 hours so I automatically get 10 street passes every cycle, with an option to manually cycle another 10 mac address for real time, boredom curing, street pass gaming sections...
...but i'm never going to do that. It feels wrong. Even though I get zero street passes, as I don't take my 3DS out of the house - not only it's a XL, I'll most likely get it broken or stolen, and I don't have official nintendo support for it in the country, so i would most likely lose all my digital purchases in it.

I would maybe do it once per week; pretend you're going somewhere with a relay.
In Europe at least, relays seem to work like that anyway, with random people. Dunno when it started happening, but my spoofed relay now gives me 6 people all the time, instead of just my sister who lives in the same home.
You're spoofing an actual relay? Then people are passing by it somewhere and you're getting their spot passes. Maybe I should do that - it would have to be an international relay, as there are no such things in my country, but that's a way to do it, I guess.
Neat. I still get quite a few 10s later in the day, so there are still some real people out there.
I don't think this is true. I've gotten to 10 from relays numerous times. I guess it's possible that in all of those instances there were also real 3DS owners near me, but I doubt it.
I would put money on one of those relays being a real person.
