I just wanted to know if you have had any bad experiences when it comes to club tortimer.I have had more bad than good if I'm honest,so much so I no longer visit that island whatsoever.I apologize if this isn't the right forum for this question.
 
You're supposed to post things like this in the ACNL section, but you can ask a mod to move it for you.

Anyway, I have a lot to share.

Time and time again I run into bell beggars. I used to give them money but now I don't, and that results in a lot of kids getting mad because they didn't get ther way. One kid blocked me just because I didn't give him bells and started cursing at me, and another girl kept saying stuff like "IM OLDER, SO LOSEN TO ME," "UR A LOSER," and then follow it up with stuff like "BOOM, GO CRY TO UR MOM" as if she was insulting me. When I first met her, she said she was 12. And then she said she was 30? Excuse me, but by the way you're acting, you sound like you're 8. And even if you are older that really doesn't matter, I'm not going to give my well saved fortune to a greedy kid just because she's older than me. Eventually it got so bad I played dirty and locked the island, and then gave her bells. But of course, she couldn't leave, and the only way to was to error, losing the bells. Once she realized that she said if I unlocked the island she'd give the bells back, but I wasn't going to believe that. I errored.
And then there was another kid who was with her who was just standing there typing faces and he was pretty much useless at that situation.
 
Ok noted.I had a few bad experiences on the first day of having access to the island,I got the basic trolls,threats and having someone try and make me lose all the sharks,bugs and fruit I collected.It's things like that,that ruin the gaming experience for others.
 
So many people asking for bells -_-

And one time when I caught about 100 beetles and this girl had to 'go shower'. She was gone for like an hour and when I tried to leave I couldn't - her inventory was open. -________________-
In the end I had to turn it off without saving...
 
Last night I was hanging out with a group of four people. They were all pretty nice, but they never really said anything. I went on a tour with a girl, just us two, the she left very shortly after. But I wasn't alone for long.
Two other girls came on, we spoke for a short while. One then said 'we're all gonna lose 1000 bells.' I thought she said that because the other was questioning the fact that there were 0 bugs. Then she said 'bye' and flipped her wifi switch. Fortunately I had caught a couple of bugs when I was with three other people, but it's still mean :/

I don't normally go on the island with other people though, so I never really have any bad experiences. Most of the time they never talk to me anyway, lol.
 
I only go to Club Tortimer to look for things I can't buy on my island. I pop in, look around and then pop out. I don't have time to deal with whiny brats...and that's what most of them are. If I want to do tours and catch fish and bugs, I go to my own island. The only time I ever hung out for a few minutes on CT, people were begging me for Bells. I told them to go earn their own and I left.

Actually i have never encountered people begging for bells, i did meet some creeps who wanted my Skype and videochat when they knew i am gay. Like seriously? Go get a life and look for someone on the street! Don't bug me with your fetishes eww...
 
I've had a fair amount of bad experiences on the island.
On the island I go with my major Deer cause Deer has the most medals and I'm just looking for the Sea Globe. I got the game used and I went with the game instead of restarting. Kinda like if you got a used Pokemon game you'd see what was on it before starting over? So cause I went with it the towns name was TRx and the mayor was Deer- Deer was male but wore dresses and skirts. I didn't care but going to the island? Became a horror. I met a girl I don't know her age but she told me to go to hell for looking gay. And proceeded to curse and threaten me. Even later met a dude whose little signature thing was something like "burn in hell gays"
I don't care if these are kids or not that's horrifying. And shouldn't even be a issue on what's suppose to be a kids game.
 
Never went and hearing this, certainly never will. Thank you :) And I'm sorry you had such negative experiences.
 
I only ever go to Club Tortimer occasionally to see if I can find the exclusive items like the wetsuits. I leave immediately if I don't find anything worthwhile. Why do people risk catching bugs and fish when other players can just waste however much time you spent doing so? I catch my bugs and fish on my own island so as not to deal with that.
 
I used to give 10k bells on the island to each of the people. The next day I went on and the same girl who I gave 10k to was there. She kept using the crying emojii and spammed "Im poor Im poor Im poor" "Give me bells pls pls pls" Ack it would not stop! She locked me on the island and kept spamming. Thankfully a Miiverse friend got on there randomly and found out who I was on miiverse and gave the girl the money. Then we errored! :3
 
So many horrible experiences...

I went to the International island one time, and I met a French girl there. She understood a little English, and we toured a bit. She seemed nice, so she asked to visit my town. I was like "Sure!" So at my town, she explores, and tells me to add another friend code. I ask why, and she says it's her sister. So, I close the gate, add her sis, and re-open. She and her sis pop in, and we talk. She gives me a French DLC (??? idek, it looked like it though) and then her sis starts to run around to my beach. I went to the beach to make sure she didn't steal, since I had tons of stuff everywhere, and she was looking at stuff, asking if she could have it. I think she wanted my flour or stick of butter I had on the beach? I don't remember, but anyways I said no, since I need it for my cafe I was gonna make. She made like 50 sad face emojis, and her sis asked if she could have one of my villager pics, since she said it was named after her. So I was like... no... I'm collecting them... so I go up to check on the other girl at the pile of pics, and I was missing the one she wanted, but in its place was a piece of furniture from another pile that went missing from there. She left, said she had to go, and the other girl ran from the beach and left too, smashing a couple of my carnations in the process. I was furious, because at the time, I had like 3 carnations, so it was hell to try to breed them back. Once they left, I closed the gate, and noticed my flour, stick of butter, and choco heart were missing off my beach.

So, the first girl distracted me at the beach while the second girl took a piece of furniture from a random pile and replaced the pic she wanted with it, and when I went up to see what she was doing, the second girl used that time to steal my stuff on the beach. Then, they smashed my carnations.

And to think, I gave them a ton of Bells and unorderables just to be nice and help them out. Now I just island hop for stuff I want, I don't even bother with the people anymore.
 
I was there with 3 other people, they were all talking together and I was just bug catching. Then one of them asks how old I am, so I told them I'm 20, and that was it, they were mouthing off saying I was a 'pedo' for playing the game and that their parents wouldn't be happy with me talking to them. Then the other girl started telling me I was a liar and she wanted proof that I'm 20. I don't know what she was expecting me to do, whip out my passport or driving licence? Sigh..

And THAT is why so many people do not open their towns. :( So sad.
 
This makes me so sad. I feel so bad for you guys. I can't believe I wasted 50 medals to buy my membership a few hours ago. I was so excited because I completed my mermaid furniture set last week and finally had the extra medals to buy the membership. Now I don't think I'll bother going at all. Thanks for the warning though!
 
whenever i have a bad experience, i just go on a tour without the other person. that always gets rid of them. it's hard sometimes, since they get so clingy, but trust me, it's possible.
 
I learned that if you font want people to be on an island with you, set up a tour but don't go do the tour, disabling any one from coming in the island. so I usually do this on the international island to get beetles early.

Anyway, bad experience time.

I met a guy on the island named Doug, now Doug was cool, he gave me bells, and even bought a wetsuit for me. We played a few tours, and I began to trust him enough to invite him to my town. At my town, two other CT friends dropped by, it was cool. And then suddenly Doug says he has to go. He says "read the bulletin board after I leave.". So I did what he said, and guess what I find...

"HAHA I STOLE YOUR BLUE FLOWERS JAKE, SUCK MY D!CK BECAUSE I'M DELETING YOU!"

I ran all the way to my blue rose zen garden that I was making, and guess what? THEIR ALL GONE.
I know it's only a game, but I legit cried for 5 minutes on my couch, I'm a dude too lol.
anyway, I've made like one CT friend since then, I almost never let someone out of my sight in my town now.
 
I've never had any really terrible ones like envy one else, but someone kept on telling me really personal stories about themselves and I got really uncomfortable, I asked her to stop so she went into more detail. the worst thing is I had caught quite a few bugs and the other person went to do something and had been in his inventory or something.. so I couldn't leave :(

There aren't only bad people out there! I have actually had some really fun tours with other people :D
