Strangest AC paranoia?

[Momo15]

I've been wondering if anybody else has that one paranoia that no other player seems to have. So tell me, do you have that one Animal Crossing paranoia that comes of as strange to others?

This is mine: There was this very strange, game-freezing glitch that happened twice to me in Wild World, and because of it, my strange paranoia is reading the museum displays. (I hardly ever read it in New Leaf itself)

I'd like to hear other's stories!

Well, I do suppose I have a paranoia of our town getting corrupted. Every time something major happens I always feel the urge to hook the cartridge up to the computer and back it up.

I have this one where when it snows, I can never really run on the snow because when spring rolls around, I am worried all the grass will be dead X0

 

[Hana-Nezumi]

I totally freak out if I ever start the game without an SD card in and get the error text box. I really makes me panic.

Whenever I see a periwinkle tee I have Rory flashbacks, that shirt just fills me with hate. You know how sometimes villagers share the outfit they're wearing with each other and it can be a little annoying because they don't look very good in it? Rory moved in on top of some cedar trees I just planted and proceeded to spread his shirt to four villagers almost immediately so literally half my town was wearing them. I had never seen a shirt spread to half the town like that in just a few days, there are rare occasions when say Sterling puts on the corseted shirt Whitney had on and I'm a bit amused and annoyed but I have never seen a shirt spread like some infectious disease. I'm worried it may happen again if I ever get another villager in a periwinkle tee. If I didn't get rid of Rory when I did, he might have taken over the town.

How's that for a strange paranoia that nobody else has? Periwinkle tee, I bet nobody else is worried about animal crossing clothes but that tee is just pure evil to me.

Not sure if this counts, but I always get really scared going into someone's town. Like I get nervous that I'm going to do something wrong, even when I follow all the rules. I also get scared when they leave a positive rating, like they're lying so I don't feel bad.

Going to someones town where there's apparently lag at any time even once for a second, it's like OH GREAT WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NOW!? and disconnecting is so obnoxious, I wish it would just sent you on the train back or something instead of not saving anything done ugh

Also STILL paranoid about villagers picking up items I've dropped. I swear to god one time I saw Bangle pick up something in Animal Crossing for GameCube, albeit that was 4 games ago now but it just was really uncomfortable and I thought it happened again in City Folk but I didn't witness it, the item I thought I left behind vanished. Lol no lost & found recovery either time. Never got it mailed back...
Ive been told that doesn't happen and never did except for with flowers + uchi villagers.

Wait, what...

I think my 'paranoia' is a bit more common, but I'm horrified of the bamboo shoots I just planted. I'm afraid if I TT too far ahead (I only TT'd once to sell a villager) that they're gonna explode and the village will be covered head to toe with them.

I love the way they look, I HATE how shoots are constantly scattered about.

One of the residents in my town is so paranoid about that, he goes and gets the shoots each and every day! It's like a job of sorts for him!

I think you can keep bamboo from spreading by surrounding it by stuff, I have my bamboo in a crowded area with lots of trees and bushes and flowers, so even when the dig spots with bamboo sprouts do pop up in the few spaces on the ground that are free, they don't grow because there's no room.

 

[xLittleDreamsx]

my paranoia is tting and then someone moves out.

but I used to do it all the time in my previous town because I could ffwd to a year and an ugly person (that's it) would move out. but then I had one day, when Francine moved out 0-0 ;-; and I time travel day by day now because my town is filled with 9 of my dreamies naow.

 

[MrPuzzleMan]

My ACNL is my treasure, so I am constantly paranoid that it will corrupt. I always make sure that my SD card is in and my 3ds is in a safe place when I am not playing it (my cats are forever knocking things off tables and such). I have just recently started backing up my saves on a computer; so that alleviates my fears a little.

 

[NewLeaf13]

Corruption.

And also items that are lost and I don't get them back.

In ACWW, Tank gave me a blue golf bag. After he moved by accident, I dropped it, and it was where Redd plops his tent. Thankfully, it was in the lost and found, but still, I was terrified.

 

[Ghost Soda]

I used to be afraid of saving letters because once on ACG I had a bunch of letters saved when they just disappeared. Just like that with no warning at all. :U

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

Mine is corruption and villagers moving out unexpectedly. x-x

 

[sakurakiki]

My paranoia is the possibility of my town being corrupted. I know that it's quite unlikely, but there is the chance that it could happen.

I suppose that & if one of my dreamies left out of nowhere & they didn't ping me at all. Those are probably the only things I fear about in AC.

 

[spCrossing]

Corruption, but I doubt it will happen since none of my 3DS games got corrupted.

Also, not playing for a long time due to other things.

 

[oranje]

My paranoia is corruption and having my dropped items disappear. I tend to transfer items that way from character to character so it scares me that I might lose something valuable that way.

 

[Hypno KK]

I'm worried about corruption, but what can you do?

I'm also worried that if I plant bamboo shoots, they'll spread like the plague. I know there are ways to avoid that but I still haven't planted the shoots my villagers have given me.

I'm not really worried about dropped items disappearing (it's never happened to me, and if you're afraid a villager might steal them, you can always place them on the private beach) or going on hiatus (since there's ways to avoid losing villagers when you take a break).

Ive been told that doesn't happen and never did except for with flowers + uchi villagers.

I've never seen my Uchi villagers steal any flowers and their houses have been surrounded by flowers. Maybe I've just been lucky that my Uchis don't want to steal anything.
