Wildlife Spotting (The Poliwags Cabin)

[S.J.]

I don't really follow which bugs or fish are rare to find, but could the "appears irregularly" and "know where to look" refer to any sorts of bug or fish? I don't know where the "regular bearer" would fit into that. I thought maybe there was a thread about a rare critter.

I keep thinking about "livebearer" fish but I don't feel like it's related

(Tried "GUPPY" just in case, nope)

knowing where to look for celeste could also refer to knowing if/when you have a meteor shower or where she is on your island

Something to do with that weather predicting app or whatever it is? I never used it but I think I’ve seen people mention it. Meteonook or something?

Yes, MeteoNook. iirc somebody did bring it up earlier in the thread, but I don't think anybody's looked too deeply into it.

Tried it as a code, but since I don't think it's an "official" arm of AC, I don't think it will be there. I will say, at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised though.

Looked at meteor shower and celeste tags in the airport and couldnt find anything myself but anyone else can feel free to look

Did we already check to see if there are any odd villagers from this list? I may have to check each one.

I've searched for Peaches, Apple, Judy, Megan, Maple, Tutu, Pekoe and Vladimir (the only bear/bear cubs I could remember off hand). No luck with those.

i get the funny feeling we might be overthinking it at this point and that one of our initial ideas might be the right avenue in some way, but god knows lmao.

 

[Lancelot]

I just thought 'appear' could also refer to a timing or when something came into existence, dunno if that will relate to anything weve looked at

okay tying to break down my interpretation,
The regular bearer appears irregularly if you know where to look.
"the" meaning there is only one specific "bearer"

"regular" meaning visiting on a regular basis, or producing/providing something on a regular basis. or possibly meaning "normal" or not unusual

"bearer" meaning one who bears something (bad news, news, flag, ring, gifts ect..) "bear" as in the actual animal.

"appears" meaning shows up, visits, or manifests, suddenly there/perceptible

"irregularly" meaning at an unusual time, or weird in some way

"if you know where to look" possibly referencing needing to find a bear or link to click on, or the answer is a puzzle and we need to name the place the "bearer appears irregularly"

That is how I am interpreting it. But I am keeping both fox and bear in mind. I know a fox was sighted initially, but I don’t want to exclude the fox just yet. Because what if that bearer could be a fox. Although it makes sense as a bear. This this really messing with my mind and emotions lol

True, don't want to rule it out.

That's how I'm seeing it too... I just can't seem to get the right combination.

All of my efforts have been looking for a bear. I think I am switching gears. Looking for a fox now lol

 

[Bob Zombie]

On Chris' profile signature the AMA link has a fox... it's been driving me nuts lol

I've read and clicked on every part of that thread.

I think the fact that the mods have capitalized on the glitched 65 minutes makes me think we need to look back. However since many are interesting in examining the language of the prompt I was hoping my take on it might help someone: the fact that they use “irregularly” instead of “irregular” implies that the definition we need to focus on is “contrary to that which is normal and established” since if they meant “not regular in appearance” wouldn’t they use irregular?
Alternatively has anyone thought about the fact that a ring is a purchasable in game and could be sold on the forum?
Honestly I’m spitballing at this point, hope this inspires someone…?

 

[Lancelot]

I’ve checked every post on the TBT Facebook page back to 2012 so I don’t think it’s there lol

feel like if we don't have it by saturday, we're gonna have to start sending out groups to each of the forums and comb through every thread in them like a bunch of desperate detectives searching for clues to a murder case.

The only other thing I had thought of for "if you know where to look" was that it could refer to a critter/special character and where they appear irregularly, but instead of a puzzle, it could be referencing a thread about where to find the critter/special character.

Otherwise, my interpretion has been the same as yours!
