What the hell? I'm trying the random move-in villager reset trick for a ninth villager, and the first three times, it worked fine. Didn't want the ppl, so I reset. Now, five resets later, there hasn't been another plot. I even took a risk and jumped ahead a day, no plot. Is that normal?
Edit: now make that six. I know the minute I load up as mayor the plot will be there and it'll be Harry or someone else very much like him.
It can happen. What I've done in those cases is, when I'm *sure* there is no plot, I go ahead and save with the temporary character, load up my mayor, go about my daily business, delete the temp character, and then repeat tomorrow.
