Doing some island hopping today to fill the spot left by Hazel moving out. I'm gonna have to do it in two chunks since I have a pressing matter that needs done, but here is my first batch:

Spoiler: First Batch

Violet
Kabuki - very tempted, and he'll definitely haunt me when I'm up until past midnight desperately scraping miles together for more hops
Ursala

Boris
Cousteau
Becky
Wendy
Stu
Keaton
Stella
Octavian
Tipper
Angus

 

[Tinkeringbell]

I spent an hour this morning exchaning my nook miles for NMT during a very boring meeting... Got 112 tickets in total.

Went to the first island, and invited the villager there XD

Tomorrow, Samson moves in. After Flip left (and I couldn't play the day his plot was empty) I haven't had a jock type villager on my island, so instead of spending an entire evening island hopping... I was done in seconds. Does that count?

 

[rosabelle]

Went island hopping today since Alfonso's plot is now open for a new villager. Results under the spoiler

Adding in some data:

At the rate I was going I did have a little glimmer of hope that I'd run into Judy or Sherb at some point since I was getting a lot of Lazies and Snooties. Good thing I got one of them at least.

 

[LaBelleFleur]

I found Gonzo today in only four tickets! ☺ I exhausted all my NMT without finding anyone on my last two island hopping adventures, so I’m happy my luck’s turned around! Isabelle did say her horoscope said she’d have a good day today... thanks for sharing the luck, Isabelle!

 

[KayDee]

Yesterday, was a great day for my island with the update and then finding Raymond in 24 tickets. Ever since I got my eight permanent villagers, island hopping has been a lot more fun without the pressure of finding someone. I’ve gotten pretty lucky too with my last three being Pietro, Punchy, and now, Raymond. I guess I’ll enjoy having him around until it’s time to send him off.

 

[MoogleKupo]

Island Hopping doesn't seem to always have the best results for me xD I don't usually have a preference for villagers for my island, but I do want a say in which ones
My success in island hopping has given me: (for two islands and after some have moved out)
Static <3
Bluebear
Margie
Pinky
Nibbles
Melba
Tybalt
Sherb
Bonbon!
Amelia
Tia
Gayle
Ellie
Pierce
Fang
Apollo
Astrid (love the kangaroos ^^)
and Diva
I don't island hop too often, but when I did these were ones I brought on over.
Typically I get villagers I don't want, of course, and I'm usually just there for material and POSSIBLY finding a new villager to move in.

I'm still on a quest to find Maple, she is my all time favorite villager and I hope one day she'll show up and I'll have her on my island! But until then it's a matter of time

 

[Sharksheep]

Apparently my luck today is good but these villagers are showing up at the wrong time

Rasher, pig, cranky
Vic, bull, cranky
Pierce, eagle, jock <- I have 2 jocks otherwise I would take him
Del, alligator, cranky <- If i taken him I would have 4 villagers with the fitness hobby and this would have drove me insane
Phil, ostrich, smug <- Already had him once and got his photo
Merengue, rhino, normal <-Took her. She's cute but she is a cycling villager so I'm not having her forever. I don't have a normal since Midge left

 

[Jomokomori]

im??? I've seen rex 3 times, al (puke) 3 times, celia twice, and sherb twice? Within 40 tickets?? I just restarted my world and brought over my nmt to look for sheep villagers lmao. This- this can't be normal

[Hikari]

for some reason i had this issue too until i changed my outfit with my wand. i feel like the RNG might be connected to your outfit tbh, but this is purely anecdotal. maybe try that? (sorry about your poor luck btw! )

 

[WaileaNoRei]

The first tickets you can only get lazy, normal, and peppy villagers, until you invite one of each, so the repeats would be less surprising. Since there are no sheep who are lazy, it might help you if you invite a lazy villager sooner rather than later. Then you will only see peppy and normal villagers and may be able to find whatever normal sheep you prefer and Wendy (the only peppy sheep) sooner.

 

[Hobowire]

Yea... 120 tickets and still didn't get a deer so I understand. Good luck on the hunt.

 

[JSS]

It's the desire sensor at work. I remember looking for Reneigh and in over 100 tickets finding only 1 horse. During the entire hunt I found 11 of the 14 other horses, some multiple times, as well as like the entire tier 1 and every other sisterly except maybe one. It sucks but just push through the repeats. Eventually other ones start appearing.

 

[niko@kamogawa]

You're not. I failed getting both Judy and Felicity for 392 tickets.

 

[Pecora]

I played every day since day one - also looking for sheep villagers.

I met Raimond, Marshal, Sherb... most of them several times. I spoke to every villager that ever visited my campsite.

I only ever met one sheep...


So yeah, I feel you

 

[Pintuition]

I've actually not ran into many (or if any if memory serves) sheep villagers! Not once! I had to trade for Dom! I keep running into deer, cows, and horses normally on hunts. It can be so frustrating!

 

[Chungus]

It was time for me to move on from Caroline, my normal bestie, and find a new villager that truly encapsulates Kame. I don’t mean a villager that’s necessarily Dragon Ball-related — after all, this is the island of bamboo and MEMES. And boy, did I find a meme.

Rodney was on my list of 8 dream villagers I was hoping to find on a NMT island hunt. And find him, I did — on an island of bamboo. And memes.

To be honest, Rodney is an odd choice for me, someone who already has a smug hamster (Graham) happily living on her island. But there’s something more to that face... And that something is the fact that Rodney looks like the Animal Crossing villager version of an original character I created when I was in high school, back in 2015. Meet Hector, Rodney’s look-alike!

Everything about my design for Hector is reflected in this stupid hamster’s smarmy pose, dumb haircut, freckled face, and s**t-eating grin. I didn’t think of the similarities until my friend, who is my writing partner and has read all my stuff and seen all my drawings of Hector, pointed it out. I can never unsee it and I’m stupidly pleased that Rodney’s visage is going to haunt me in Kame for a while yet.

That is how I ended up with a second smug hamster on my island. So yeah... Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two characters...

 

[Xara]

congrats on finding him! hector and rodney look nothing alike but at the same time, the resemblance is uncanny - ion know what it is but rodney definitely has hector energy lmao

 

[seularin]

i dunno about looks but they give off the same energy and vibe
