Hi! Could someone kindly tell me please, how many days can one go without playing this game before you risk losing a villager? Do I have to play every day, every 2nd day, 3rd days? etc. Been playing every 2nd day minimum but don't always feel like forcing myself to play but I don't want to risk losing a specific villager
I ask because I just started a new town, was going to reset as often as possible until I got my fave Ankha, it took only ONE RESET before I was able to get her, what LUCK!!!!!!! If she moves I'd rather burn my village to the ground tbh..........
It depends how careful you are really. Villagers can ping to move every 1-7 days and they do it as early as 5 days out. The others will also relay rumors that someone is thinking about leaving. Every 2-3 days is safe if you're really rooting out the mover.
There are a couple things you can do to make it safer:
1. If you're going to take any kind of extended break, do so when you've told someone not to leave. No one else will move until you return.
2. Learn the villager rumors. Each villager personality has a default rumor they give if someone
isn't moving. The exception being the mover itself. Every couple days, I get rumor dialogue from two different villagers to confirm.
Cranky: state that rumors can be frightening.
Jock: ask to spread rumors about their latest world record, or complain that others say that they are a prince from another planet.
Lazy: Rumors that he bought X item and now has a world-class X collection.
Normal: comment that they will only spread rumors they have seen themselves.
Smug:remark that they have done things with other villagers, but refuse to elaborate on the details.
Snooty: use fabricated examples to show the player that simple rumors can spread very quickly.
Uchi: complain that rumors are circulating that they are known for one sport, when it is in fact another.
Peppy: ask the player for any gossip, think you are keeping something secret, and ask for you to spread the details.
