Bad club tortimer experiences

I've been lucky. My experiences have been mostly positive. I've only had one beggar and two that tried to hold me hostage. I just errored them.

Don't be too discouraged by the stories here. Keep trying. There are some nice people out there.
 
I used to go to the island and give out like 5million to each person there then leave,I don't do that anymore though xD
 
my funniest CT beggar story was this girl hounding me and another visitor for bells-- but all the while, she's wearing a royal crown on her head! helloooo, you aint gonna generate much sympathy wearing a million dolla hat you fool.!

ha- you can't let the trolls bother you, just troll them back, its fun!
 
never really went to CT before. but just wondering, is there a group of people that dedicates to making CT a bad experience for everyone?

I don't think so, they are probably little kids who cry if they do not get what they want. Which is understandable because they are kids but it is extremely annoying for us as more mature players.

I tried it once, it wasn't a very unpleasant experience or anything, I just got all anxious because of stories like the ones posted here.

Trust me to get more anxious when playing online than I do IRL. >_>
 
So there was once this American boy that trapped me so I had to go on a tour or else I couldn't do anything. He was also trapping another person in the same island as me :(.

This was our conversation:
Me: Let me leave please.
Becky: Let me leave as well please.
Him: Your both being dramatic b1tches.
Me: Well it doesn't matter if I'm a
Me: Dramatic b1tch to want to
Me: Leave, wh0re.
Becky: Tru
Him: Oh noooo, I can't take it *pulls a bunch of sadness emoticons*
Me after he let us free: The drama was real.
 
I've had so many fun encounters on the Island. Too many to mention. The trolls entertain me. I always go, hoping to run into them. A long time ago, I met this boy who kept chasing me with his net, and hitting me with it. It was my first encounter with an annoying Islander. I asked him why he was hitting me, and he said it was fun. I started chasing him and hitting him with my ax. The experience made me laugh. I can't get mad, because he's probably just a kid, and we all know how ornery kids can be.

The bell beggars are my favorite. I love turning it around on them. I follow them around, begging for bells. The different reactions I get are so funny. They're not expecting people to beg them for bells, and some don't know how to react.

There was one time I got a bit annoyed. I had just arrived, and wanted to buy something rare. This girl told me she was flipping the wifi because I was a girl, and she wanted to find a boyfriend. I didn't get to buy the item, and I hate it when the kids flirt with eachother. I always picture a 10 year old girl, flirting with some perverted older man, that pretends he's her age.
 
Whenever I go to Club Tortimer, it seems like everyone wants to ask "How old are you?" It is really annoying because it is none of their business. I tend to either ignore that question or type in something random like 87234865. I mostly just go to look for items though.
 
And THAT is why so many people do not open their towns. :( So sad.

I honestly don't care anymore if people steal from me now. I just get so fed up with it..... you help random strangers and they stab you in the back. Smh and people wonder why I hate opening my gate.


o: Yes. This. Something similar to this happened to me once.
All sales are confirmed before any people are invited to my town to prevent this from happening. I'll take a screenshot for yard sales now

Btw, if you ever need any blue hybrids, lmk! I'd be happy to share with someone who understands this.


UGH! Exactly! Stuff like that is why I hate all of the AC trading boards online, except for TBT. Hell, I've even had TBT-ers steal stuff from me, one girl stole a pile of golden roses and tools when I told her help herself to some food/hybrids on the beach except for those.
 
Personally, if I ever find a greifer I just swim around, or sit down on a stump to tan :p

It usually ends with them erroring :p

I think in the next game you should have the ability to disable anyone doing bad things in your town, maybe a message could pop up saying, "it's not nice to steal!" Or something like that.
 
I usually only go to CT if I want to find the exclusive stuff, aha, and I don't really stay for long - plus, I have an iffy internet connection, so I try and limit the amount I play online at mine, I usually play when I'm at a friend's or my mums with decent wifi.

There's been a few times when I used to go island hopping all the time, and people trapped me on the island - luckily, I'd learnt about disconnecting by flipping the wifi switch on here, so I could just do that to escape. One time, I tried going on a tour to escape, but the other person had managed to get on the tour too :( so I just turned off my 3DS completely so I could get away!

YES, this too like. I almost really dislike helping people, on other forums and such, sometimes because too many people take advantage of it a lot. It really shouldn't happen this much, but it does.

UGH that really sucks! Like, I love when people offer me free hybrids, I would never make them regret it by acting dumb about it! Its a shame that one person can really ruin something for everyone. All it takes is one person to break some trust for someone awesome to just kind give up! I'm sorry that happened to you!

For me personally, TBT is the only safe place that I can trade without worry, because it's easy to just check wifi ratings when trading high value things! I've never had anyone from TBT steal anything that they were allowed too, I have no issue allowing people from TBT help themselves to whatever they want, most of the time. But like tumblr and other place can go away, haha! If I do happen to bring trade to tumblr it is always in their towns, I just do not trust people to join my towns if they are not from TBT.

O.o I tend to do that sometimes and ask how old the people are XD :p. Whenever I go to Club Tortimer, I usually ask how old they are, if they like Pokemon, and if they played Mario and Zelda games. I just do that because it's kinda a habit, and also I just really want to know the people there a bit. But of course I don't pester people if they tell me they don't wanna tell.

Ugh, I hate when people steal from me. :mad: I am just so sick and tired of it. I'm sorry to hear that you've got stolen from too, and that you got your pile of golden roses and tools stolen...I have seen so many threads, posts, and comments from people who said that they have been stolen from, and yet people STILL STEAL. I've had a friend who said that she was 21 years old and she stole hybrids from me -.- and perhaps some items. I'm like, seriously? You said that you're 21, and yet you steal from other people in the game. Just...wow. I remember I played my game of ACNL alone, without using the Internet or playing with anybody. It was boring. I hated playing ACNL. Then I played with the Internet and other people around the world, and it seemed to be much funner for me. Later on, I started to love playing ACNL. I would always visit the island and meet other people. Then I met some people on the island that I became friends with, and guess what? Yup. They stole from me. From my experience, the people who stole from me were mostly girls. Of course, there were some boys, but rarely (I think only two boys stole from me). I ABSOLUTELY hate it when I get stabbed in the back by getting stolen my hybrids and items from, even though I helped them. I'm fine with people asking to have something, but not steal. I remember I used to have this friend named Annabelle from Animal. She seemed really nice, and I met her through a friend. I really loved playing with her. I even helped her decorate her town and gave her free hybrids. But then she decides to get all mean and greedy and steal my hybrids. Of course, I deleted her FC. I bet she even stole hybrids from other people too, because she seemed like an expert stealer and only stole hybrids that seemed a little hidden and not obvious, like behind trees, etc. So yeah...people sometimes are just cruel. :(

My annoying and freaked out experience wa some girl who pretended to be kind and whatnot, turns out instead on trading FC's she gave me a fake ater I gave her mine and reset m 3DS which happened ages ago lol, all I know is once I get back to ACNL I am so not going to Club Tortimer as often haha; just not worth being annoyed by people xD
 
I think the worst one for me would be when I got on this island and tried to catch bugs. I set the trees out perfectly to get the expensive ones but some kid kept on scaring them away. I thought it was an accident so I asked them to stop. Then they started saying things in German and after translating them, it was pretty rude and offensive stuff. I told them to f--- off (rather not swear here) and after a few minutes of trying to catch bugs I decided to just go on tour (I believe that was one of the first times I actually went on club tortimer island)
