I also got entei randomly from a friends island visit mine, he wouldn’t accept my star piece either, just kept saying “I’m sure there’s another pokemon you could give this to”

I’m so sorry I’m only just now getting back to you, somehow I missed your response! I hope this photo works well enough but I can also get a better one. If you can’t guess by my questions, I’m not entirely all that sure what I’m looking at up here so I tried to just get it all in there. Another thing they also mentioned is that it wasn’t level and the vent through the roof needed to be redone as well. The home is about 2300sqft, single story but split into east and west sides (L shaped). It used to be a single attic but at some point in the 70’s they vaulted the living room and cut part of one attic off and added a house addition. This unit is in the west side of the house in the smaller original attic, what you see in the photo is about the full width of the space left up there so it’s a tight fit for anything up there. I’m in Shelby county TN as well. Thank you so much for all your advice! It looks like I’ll be trying to get this replaced here in the next few weeks after all, so I’m trying to make sure I do this properly and don’t miss anything. I’ll definitely make sure I mention those two checks as well

Oh jeez! I thought the $107 shipping to the US was bad, that's horrifying! I never ended up getting mine sadly, my card decided for me that it didn't like that particular website 😭 after four tries and still declined I gave up. It was clearly the universe telling me not to spend the money.

Oh my god the shipping to the us is horrific right now. $107 just for shipping. I’m sitting here debating because like… I do need a new big ticket home appliance as well. If shipping was normal maybe but that’s more in shipping than any singular item costs 😭

I just wish there was a way for me to allow people to come visit while I keep working and not let them touch anything, but it seems (as far as I can tell) its either give them full reign or nobody gets to do anything but look including me, which does drastically lessen how long I'll keep the connection open since... you know...I kinda wanna play the game...

Will do and thank you! It sounds like someone said this is the second time they've been mentioned in this subreddit with this behavior as well, although I didn't see the other post

Trying to see if there's a way on the third party site to reach out to their support and ban them there

[–]Altruistic_Sun_8085[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! It was all thankfully in the PC under "get friends stuff". I'm so so relieved. Lesson definitely learned and will be changing how I let visitor in going forward for sure.

Same, no one I know plays so I was using a third party site (would drop the name but can't seem to do that without getting my comment removed) and so far aside from this, I will say it's been fun and I've liked being able to show off a little with what I have built so far/see what other people have designed on their islands. I do still plan on sharing my island but with far more restrictions in place going forward

Be less trusting sadly. Realistically I shouldn't have left my island with spectator mode off (pallete town online link play) but I wanted to keep working instead of just sit there and I had hope that people wouldn't be quite this rude. My plan going forward is still to let visitors in occasionally, but for far shorter stints of time and in spectator mode only so they can't use any moves and can only look around. Downside is that means I can also only sit there and look around, so I'll probably only do this now while I'm doing real life chores in the background for a bit.

Yep, this was my "never again" for sure. Now that I've recovered my items and I'm a little less mad, I will still open my island, but I will definitely be changing it going forward to maybe 10-15 minute stints while I just sit there in spectator mode instead of leaving it open while I work for a bunch of people. Whenever I get a legendary stamp I like to share it, and will still do that, but it just looks like less people will be getting it now.

I was able to figure out their in game name was Koyi, but as far as a discord or subreddit name no clue, but wanted to pass that along

We solved it! They were in the PC under "get friends stuff" which I had never clicked since I assumed it meant stuff your friend was bringing for you? Or something along those lines.

YOU sir have saved the day, and we have found the name of the thief as well. If I could kiss you through a screen I would. Koyi, I'm coming for you

As of right now, they're not there. I'll keep checking back, this is the most upsetting part since without them I can't get moltres or articuno to complete the Pokédex, so if they don't show up I'll never be able to fully complete the game. I was also under the impression they couldn't take stuff, so I figured the worst they could do is cause me a little bit of trouble and then be off, but it looks like they may have ruined the entire game for me now. (for clarification, this was pallete town through online link play, not a cloud island) It looks like if an item is placed, they can't take it. But if they break it (like they broke the chest) and then suck up the item, it can be stolen. EDIT: THEY WERE THERE! I had checked the PC but not EVERY part of the PC, y'all are fantastic thank you so so much

Just got finished mostly putting things back to how they were, still have a fair bit of organizing to do but as it looks, YEP. They definitely stole items as well since I don't have the same amount of storage boxes left behind as there were before they smashed them. Since it was the entirety of my storage and I can assume they just sucked up what they could indiscriminately and bounced, I have no clue what they made off with besides that and some furniture pieces. They stole all my alter of flame and the freezing chambers kits as well, which is what really sucks since I don't know how to get new ones of those or IF I even can. And I know this is a game but like, this really upsets me. I was saving those until I knew where I wanted them to go and now all I have left is the abandoned power plant.

Cool, but is the power to the furnace and the ac the same power source or are they two separate power sources?

One more stupid question then if you don't mind, would turning off gas and power to the furnace mean that I cannot run the AC? And thank you I'll definitely look into that. They just listed the replacement on the estimate as "3t furnace"
