The X noticed you and ran away! (Island Sanctuary)

[Skivvy]

I managed to get to level 10 and 1st chance I got to try my hidden ninja trick, it worked again on my very 1st try! Either I got seriously lucky going 3 for 3, or there is something to it. I am done with the rare ones now. Huzzah!!!

Just tried this out on twinklefleece tonight and I was able to catch him on my third net. \o/ Weeeeee. ONE MORE RARE TO GO!!!....although it's the goobbue, and I'm pretty certain that thing exists solely to waste my traps. Will let ya know how I get on with the ninjar trick on that one in a day or two.

Alright, so just ninja'd the Goobbue tonight and snagged it on my first trap. That was my last rare, but I'd be curious to see if this works for other people as well.

I tried this and failed. I was late getting in, so I only got a few hits off before it timed out.

Oh that's too bad. I wonder how it would have gone if not for the timer.

I'm pretty sure that it's just RNG with this and the whole ninja stealth thing is just a coincidence. Some people are just that lucky sometimes. Just did this with the gator, as an fyi. 2 misses and then it ran away. So no, not convinced that this is a "thing".

Well, it didn’t hurt to share. I found this out and it “worked”, so I needed to see if it was a fluke. Since I went 3 for 3, I couldn’t get enough tests to try it out without dumping any of my animals. Some people seem to have tried and were successful, but you said you weren’t. That’s all I needed to see. Oh well. It sucks that it isn’t a thing.

My other theory is that the game somehow knew I was talking smack about my friend the Goobbue and that I also had just crafted a tooon of traps for it. Its smug little AI was like "hahhha, watch this!", and just like that all my extra traps are now useless. Ya know, like when you finally wash your car, it rains.

But yeahhh, I'm really hoping that SE will flesh out IS more down the road. I still feel like it has a lot of potential, it's just missing the finer details that make farming simulators fun and something you dabble with long-term.
