Bad club tortimer experiences

Once I found somebody who begged me for Bells. I told them that I didn't have any, which was sorta true - I was saving up the 7 million Bells I had in my ABD, but I didn't have many Bells in my pockets. They called me a 'liya' (yes, they spelled it like that) and I just left without giving them anything.

Oh snap, watch out yall we got a liya' in here

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.

ahh, i-i want to cry...

I feel so bad for everyone, I've only used Club Tortimer once, and there was a really nice girl who was really patient with explaining the club exclusive stuff too me, as I was new to using the membership, and was just a fun person to hang out with and was just a pleasant person.

After hearing about the horrid homophobia I will probably be sticking to my own island since in fact I am gay and my character is always crossdressing and I also wouldn't like to catch a whole bunch of bugs and have someone turn off wifi...

edit: after hearing the thing about how to not have people on the island with you I may do that since it would be fun to be able to beetle hunt all times of the day!

Gosh, some of your stories are terrifying! :O I personally have really only had annoying experiences, nothing too bad, the typical beggers, spiteful bug chasers, name-callers. One girl came to the island, we were the only ones there, she asked how I was and welcome to the game, nice things, etc....then she says SURPRISE! and BOOM...error message. :/ I lost an almost full inventory of beetles from that.

It's amazing how spiteful people can be,even on a game like animal crossing.I think the whole club tortimer thing ruins the game experience for a lot of people due cruel people.I feel bad for people (especially kids)who have nothing but horrible/negative experiences.Animal crossing is supposed to be fun/stress free,you shouldn't have to worry about people ruining your towns,rooms etc.

They always ask me to give them my bow wig, and if I don't they just disconnect. Sigh..

There was also that one time me and my best friend ended up on the same island, and another player joined us soon just to curse at us and call us names. I don't even remember what she was so angry about.

aaAA the bow wig thing !!
i've had the same girl on literally every island i went to for a few days asking for a bow wig
and then someone else on the island said they'd sell it for 100k and the girl left 10k ?? wEEPS most of the time people just disconnect so i don't think it's worth it half the time.

Yeah, don't wear an expensive wig or a crown... Beggars really annoy me. I worked hard for my Bells and I'm not going to just give them away to any stranger. Especially not to some rude brat!

 

[BaconRainbow]

Yeah its insane the people on CT D:
For those that go there for fish and bugs you're better off just going to your own island! ovo Its safer, and no worries about erroring x'D

Cut the story in favor of just the link back to the post! But, I have almost the same experience! It was like almost the same.

They were from the island It was two people, unsure of gender never really talked about it but both mayors were male. Well call them John and Steve to prevent confusion, lol. They asked politly if I dod have anything for sale, what a coincidence because at the time I had a shop listed on tumblr in a "market place" of sorts. So I told them to look it up and they did. Maintained contact via tumblr.

Ended inviting them for a few quick trades. After they bought what the originally that asked if they could just look around to see if there was anything else they may want. I didn't have a problem with it, one [John] was distracting me while the other [Steve] was pocketing things and running to his locker. I had no idea at first, but they got like super greedy with it. After a while, Steve started to distract me, calling me to my area where I stored my hybrids, and was trying to "buy" them. I declined every offer because I'm a greedy mayor with my hybrids, lol.

Anyway, my screen did the idle tilt, and I saw that John was picking up a ton of stuff I had lined up just above us, but out of vision if the screen doesn't tilt. When I saw him run back I moved up and a lot of stuff was gone, I flipped my wifi switch very quickly before they could try to leave and actually get to keep my stuff! Both messaged me on tumblr calling ME the scammer because they lost their bells. I wrote it off as greedy punks who didn't get anything other than what the actually ordered.

After a few minutes of being angry, I opened my DS, when I saved the game after they actually bought the stuff they came for they hadn't actually picked up the stuff, so they did lose out on about 10 million bells. At the time I felt justified for keeping the bells, people who try to steal deserve a little lesson. Just made me wonder how many people they did get to steal from before getting caught. But yea, since then I kinda keep my trading and stuff strictly here, on these forums.

Jovi, that's a great story. Serves them right. Lol.

 

[mariostarn]

I've never had awful experiences per se, except for the typical jerks who disconnect when you don't give them what they want.

My brother does tell me he once encountered a racist bloke however.

 

[yukikotobuki]

These are all so scary, lol! I have a huge issue playing with people online on any game because of stories like this. When someone has a reputation and you can kind of know who they are, like on TBT, it's not so bad - but when people are allowed to be anonymous, they tend to do whatever they want knowing that they'll never see you again :/ It's really sad. In reality, it's best to not let bad encounters get to you, but I'm a bit of a sensitive person, so I'll probably never go on CT, haha. I'm sorry for everyone who's had a bad experience, though..

 

[Melchoir]

It's so disappointing that some people ruin all the fun for everyone else. You should be able to visit CT without feeling like you have to watch out for players that will try and ruin your experience.

i was assigned female at birth and i tend to dress very masculine. one day on the island i was wearing a dress and had a very short haircut with shaved sides. the girl there spent the whole time asking me "why are you so ugly" and stuff like "that hair is for boys". i was trying to be nice because i thought it was probably just an ignorant 8 year old, but i got really frustrated and ended up leaving.

I really do wish that some people would kinda just like, grow up. Not just in ACNL, but everywhere. ALl games have their troll who need to ruin someones fun to have fun themselves. It's just old, but I have a feeling it will never go away. I just hope one day I can do things online without needing to worry, haha!

Aside from the usual scammers, beggars, and griefers, a girl I had never met before proposed to me once.
