Changed my mind about having guests

I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. I found the little treasure chest on the island earlier, and right after I bought it, someone purposefully crashed me. I know this because they pointed it out before they did it. Fortunately, my medals were all in-tact, at least.

Sadly, there will always be people that go around with the sole intent of ruining things for others. I recommend not leaving your town unsupervised from now on, even if that limits availability to others. If someone really needs to visit you, I'm sure you can both arrange a time.
 
Hey, guys, I intend to comb through responses here and in the similar topic I posted in another New Leaf forum I frequent, but for now just want to relate the greatest kindness I have ever been shown by anyone in the NL community:

I got the greatest hybrid flower hook-up ever; she literally said I could have whatever hybrids I wanted. I stuck strictly to what I lost, but the feeling of warmth was so overwhelming that it's hard to even get through responses at the moment until I start replanting some of my stolen hybrids.

Since I have only been playing this game since 29 December and have relied so heavily on friends for any worthwhile items I got, the only thanks I could think to give was all the rare weeding stuff another friend gave me, and that I was not thinking of ever parting with until inspired at this moment.

And I know this friend who gave me the weeding stuff would have no issue with this. We're all about giving away cool stuff to people to make them feel good: we do that to each other all the time. For instance, she recently gave me Cookie's pic, and I gave her Fuchsia's pic, just because, man.

Going back to the good person who gave me the hybrids hook-up: As I told her: Good friends are worth way more than the rarest items in the game.

I kinda hope in the next game they implement some sort of tracking system. Like at the end of each day Isabelle gives you a list with the names of every visitor that came to your town in the order- something like that
What I was thinking of was that you could tick an option preventing anyone from shoveling bushes, picking roses, etc., and that you can select to have the game record your visitors when they arrive even when you're gone, with their user name and town superimposed on the screen, so that you have incontrovertible proof of who deserves the scorn of the community.

Yeah, I'm gonna be more limited now to people I absolutely trust. I may still invite people who are less trusted, but under supervision. I know that makes people feel rushed and even unwanted because that's the feeling I had in such towns, but I feel it is necessary, and I can always give a reassuring word or two so that the honest ones do not feel too discouraged.

Oh my gawd...I certainly always saw you online on my list (usually my wifi only turn on if I have trade) and did you remember who is the last one to enter your town? ><
As I posted in a similar topic in another forum I frequent, my problem with naming the name of the one or two people I saw whenever I checked to see who was in my town, but without actually looking around my town (was in a hurry, in and out of my room), is that there could have been any number of guests and if I point fingers at the only ones I saw I risk hurting innocents by undeservedly downgrading their reputation.

I have two towns, tomorrow I can send you all the bush starts I buy from both.
I'm still in the process of putting bushes around my brick path, but I feel terrible that this happened to you. I see you're wanting blue hydrangeas, I need them least, I think I'm done with them actually, so I can give you as many of those as I buy in the next few days.
I am very much interested in buying blue hydrangeas from you, and I insist on paying for them as I have others who've generously offered.

That's incredibly sad that someone would do that. @_@;


I have...well I can't count now but my whole train station plaza is covered in bush starts at the moment. I was saving them to give to another TBTer but he hasn't replied to both my attempts to contact him so I'm thinking of just putting them up for grabs. I've been taking the hollies and blue hydrangeas but I do have a few leftover, if you would like them!
Very much interested. I'll add your FC and have money ready (I insist on paying) for whenever you may be available to visit (or if you'd prefer, I of course have no issue coming over).


If you're missing orange cosmos as a whole, I have two that you can use to rebreed again as well. If you're adamant about paying that's fine, but I am planning to give most of these away so feel free to nab what you need!
I would have said yes to the cosmos, but someone has given me all the cosmos I've lost. Thank you very much, however.
 
So sorry that happened to you :/
I know the pain all too well, that same thing happened to me a few days ago.
I was helping someone restart their town and they needed someone to hold their stuff for them.
So I opened my gate and let them in, left them to do their thing unsupervised. They left, created their town and all was swell. I let them back in and left for a while since I thought "I'm over here helping this person for free, there's NO WAY this person is gonna steal from me o.o"
I come back and she had left. I check the town and all her stuff is gone along with all jacobs and all my pink/black hybrids. >.<
And the worst part of it is, not only did I do all that for free but also gave them baskets of different perfect fruits to give to their villagers >.< I was trying to be nice. :/
But oh well, lesson learned.

Sorry you had to experience that, too. Wouldn't have minded my town being ruined far worse if it meant nobody else had to experience it.

That said, I certainly don't mean to tell people here not to help and be generous to other members, only that we should still make security of our towns a priority. Also, I remain a firm believer in this message I included on a bulletin I posted in the town of one of the people who helped me today:

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." -- Aesop.

Oh yeah definitely. I'm not going to change who I am or how I interact with people, just because someone decided to be a jerkface ^-^
I'll just make sure I watch them like a hawk next time xD Sometimes while playing animal crossing, you get into this "innocence" bubble, and forget people can be ****ty :/.

By the way, message I posted on the other NL forum I frequent:

... someone [who remains] on my friend's list offered me a possible culprit. There was a person I was not even aware remained on my friends list. This is a big deal because I keep notes on everyone on my friends list: my experience with them, rules for their town, how they've treated me, etc. (Anyone who remains on my friends list does so because they have expressed interest in returning to my town after receiving help from me.) But this person escaped my radar. I will not shame this person by posting his/her name publicly when I cannot even be sure of wrongdoing, but if anyone is worried about someone on their friends list and want to know who they should possibly watch out for, they can send me a PM.
 
Sorry that happened. I had a similar experience when I nodded off and left my gate open overnight. If you need any cedars, saplings, azaleas, carnations or purple tulips, I have dozens of each that I would trade for perfect pears.
 
There have been so many offers that, with another PM I received just a moment ago, I should be good on all starts, saplings, and flowers.

However, Mookie, I would still very much like to give you baskets of perfect pears for free. Really. I have so many perfect pear trees in my town that perfect pears infest my town quickly. I'll add you. Let me know when you're available.

****

By the way, guys, to top off the 180 degree turn this night took from complete disaster to awesomeness, I have gone from devastated town to everything returned through generous help...

And now:

Someone found Molly for me.

The closest I have to a "dreamie."

As I said to this person: It's my freakin' birthday. Or it feels like it.
 
I'm sorry this happened to you. :(
Don't ever say it's your fault because it's definitely not. You didn't do anything wrong. Are you still needing carnations? I could give you a bunch for free!

Thanks for the support, and the offer.

I got back all the pink carnations in the front, left, and back of my house, which is all of them.

However, I am still missing the... I am guessing 5 pink carnations I had around the first of two flower gardens to the bottom right of my character's house. If you have any to spare, I would definitely not mind paying top bell for them. A few have accepted, a few not, but it's really no problem at all, the bells can be made up easily through my many perfect pears.

That reminds me: If you would like some baskets of perfect pears please let me know.
 
This is atrocious behaviour from guests. I'm so sorry you had to experience this. I for once, am very cautious about having guest over, I watch them and follow them like an eagle and would never let anyone out of my sight. (Unless they are my best friend).
I will hunt these people down if I need to and send them a long reasoning/rant about what they did was wrong.

I can you 1 mil bells + 10 hybrids for free! If you need anymore help, just tell me dear. Again, so sorry this had to happen to you, please do be more cautious this time, and mark this as a new caution when having guest over! :c
 
I insist you take them for free! =D
Should I go to your town or you come to mine?
Thank you very much. I'll add your FC and open my gate. [Edit: please see bottom of my post]

Oh, my, it's quite alright. I wouldn't feel good about receiving more than was taken from me.

That said, yes, I am certainly going to be far more cautious about having guests over. There is only a select few, all from my best friends list, that I will allow in my town when I am away. They're the kind of people I trust at the level of my family.

Actually, I'll go to your town, since I forgot these are carnations we're talking about; I should pick them up instead of you having to collect them.

No dear! I insist you take it! I dont have my 3ds on me and I have an assignment to due now D:

I might forget, so Drop me a message tomorrow when you want the things + bells! c: <3
 
Oh, my God... this day (or night, rather) just keeps getting so much better. Just got back after getting "dreamie" Molly from a friend and Annabelle, formerly a tenth villager I got through streetpass who initially prevented me from getting Phoebe and later Molly, rushed up to me next to the station and asked to move.

I don't hate Annabelle, but she's not who I was looking for. She's a tier 5 if I recall, but maybe I should offer her up anyway (her moving day is the 23rd). After all, when I offered Puck for free, someone immediately jumped at the chance to have him, and I gave that excited person a streetpass item in congrats when Puck agreed to move to her town.

I'd been building up friendship with Annabelle for weeks and I finally got the ping I wanted.

Anyways, there you go, whoever messed up my town. All you're left with is the literal/material wealth you got through obtaining my items, but not the pleasure of me having a crappy day, as you obviously intended through the thorough mean-spiritedness with which you messed up my town.
