Club Tortimer Horror Stories

[Yui Z]

I love reading CT experiences like this xD

I've met the same guy on the island twice and he didn't seem to recognize me but I definitely recognized him - both times he started flirting with me (because he was only like a year older than me apparently)... He kept making the love emotion at me I was like ... So I called him a creep, started a new tour and sat down before he could sit too. Similar thing happened the second time with the same guy.

EDIT: Another time recently I met this girl who wanted to try my ribbon on... So I let her seeing as I knew I could flick the wireless switch if she tried to do a runner with it anyway (plus it isn't that expensive - but re ordering means effort ) So she tries it on - it didn't look right with her outfit anyway. The colors clashed quite badly... She asked me if she could buy the ribbon from me but I said no. After she said "ok" I noticed her slowly making her way to the gift shop building and I immediately knew she was trying to make a quick exit to steal my ribbon haha.
The dumb thing is is that she could have cataloged it still if she gave it back but not after I flicked the wireless switch xD

A couple days ago a Japanese person said "Do you like s*x?" to me (with the star.) I said no and left. Weird guy.

I think I might dress my character up as a girl, and then try to trick them into thinking I'm a girl without me actually revealing my gender. Then, I'd take it all off! Oh, mercy!

You could do that, until they see your gender-specific eyes or see that your card is blue, not pink.

One time, I went to an island with a lone stranger on it. The middle of the island was clear, so after a while, I got coconuts off every third tree. I was digging holes to try to get the axe and basket of coconuts in the middle. She ask what I was doing and I stated that it was for the ritual. he then carried on, saying that she has nothing to do with it. I then said "I need the blood of a virgin. So..." Then she said that she was leaving and left a moment later. But that's not the best part. Soon, someone else come on. He was silent (he might've said hi) and stood in the doorway. I stood next to him and said hi. After a few seconds, I asked him. Soon, he looked at me and just flipped the switch.

I made a forum about that! It was about a boy named Quinn and my island experience with him!

That sort of stuff is why I don't really go to the islands so much. I play the game to relax, not to deal with creepers.

It's actually quite strange to think that pedophiles may exist on Animal Crossing. I mean, would a pedophile really buy Animal Crossing for the express purpose of hitting on young adults? Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they started hitting on young children. They aren't aware of how old you are, so it isn't really that unlikely. I think I might dress my character up as a girl, and then try to trick them into thinking I'm a girl without me actually revealing my gender. Then, I'd take it all off! Oh, mercy!

For the express purpose of hitting on young adults probably not, but the game is geared at a young or all-ages audience so it's a safe bet that lots of kids play it. The game isn't that expensive so maybe some pedophiles may buy it for the purpose of hitting on kids. I don't think they'd buy it for that purpose alone since unlocking the islands takes some time and requires you to actually play the game but some could play it and then take advantage of that feature.

I generally find it weird that guys hit on people on the island... they don't know who's on the other side of it and it seems so pointless, I don't know why people like that do it. :| Maybe they're just losers who know they'd be slapped hard in the real world.

there were 2 people there already and they started a tour and i wanted to go lol so i went but then the next time they started a tour they went without me :/ third wheel lmao

 

[Aubrey895]

There was this girl who kept begging for my pants!
Ummm yeah weird lol.
She was wanting to catalog when I said she can't have them. So I drop them and she puts them on...I'm waiting. She doesn't give them back. (They were my favorite and couldn't order them)
So I flip the switch. I go to a different island and she shows up again! She says she will just catalog them....so to give her a 2nd chance I drop them. She says I'll get bells and runs off to go inside then she tries to leave...I flip the switch.

No one steals my pants and gets away with it ^_^_^ hahaha

Haha, that made me laugh!

I'm so glad that nothing like that happened to me when I have visited the island.. I'm never spending time there more than few minutes, cause I really don't want to talk with the people there, since there always are weird creeps who start hitting on you It's good though that you can get out there real fast xD

I've only been to Club Tortimer once. My experience was actually pretty good. So this guy was there then he asked me for my Friend Code so he could visit my town, so I gave it. We did a couple of tours and he went over to my town and was nice enough to give me some gifts. He gave me a Model Car, a Black Rose, and I forgot what that other item was

It'll be really funny if some guy hits on you just because you're using a female character. Just because someone is using a female character doesn't mean they're a girl. I'm a guy and I use a female character for my Pokemon X I also notice that sometimes random passerbys give me a "Nice" in X, I don't know though if that's just because I'm using a female character.

Because of these incidents, I think Nintendo will remove that feature that allows you to link with random people in future Animal Crossing games.

stop necroing threads 2k14

 

[debinoresu]

the worst experience ive had was when someone kept running around and scaring all the beetles.

i lay awake in bed some nights thinking about this horrible experience, praying it doesnt happen again

 

[Uffe]

I've only had one instance where someone was a jerk. I was speaking in German on purpose and the person on the island seemed nice at first. Then he started to ask me if I was gay and started cussing at me as if I didn't understand him. I just laughed at him. Not in-game, of course.

 

[TheGreatBrain]

A ten year old girl and a boy were on the island.The girl wanted the boys fc.After the exchange, she gives him her home phone number, and tells him to call her.I tell her not to give people personal info.She tells me to mind my own bussiness.Then the two of them are just standing there.I'm assuming they were speaking on the phone.Then the wifi was swiched.I wish the kids wouldn't do such stupid things.

A male arrived on the Island.He said he was a t.v. producer.I asked him if he could make me a star.He said he could if I was ok with adult filming.I said "hang on, I'm going to ask my mommy". He took off in the building and left right away.lol

 

[nekosync]

There was someone else on the island who kept arguing with everyone else and the others were pretty much arguing back. Then afterwards the person causing all the trouble wrote: "u mADE me cry" (yes, written like that), then told us that they are "guna tel" their "mom n u'll all b sorry!!!11".

 

[Hirisa]

I've only had unmemorable to good experiences at CT. The bad experiences I've heard about on the island sound more funny/ridiculous than life-scarring, tbh. I guess if I was a very little kid who didn't know how to hit the wifi switch I might feel differently.

My best experience was meeting a Japanese player who became a regular wifi friend, and meeting another Japanese player who sent me the funniest doodles via Swapnote.

 

[aieatspeaches]

I was online one time and a sweet little girl was there, and we were chatting a bit and she was talking about bugs and stuff. All fine until this guy comes online and started hitting on us in a perverted way. Unfortunately, the little girl was gonna give him her phone number, she only got the first part of her number sent, and then I hit the wi-fi switch, so that she couldn't. For safety of course. You have to be really careful.

 

[Explosivo25]

Same here. Worst I can think of was when someone repeatedly begged for my friend code.

Now, the OP also asked about any funny experiences. Here are my two favorites:

-On my second visit to the island, some guy was cutting down all the trees on the grassy area. I hit him with the net as a way to say "knock it off". He ignored me and continued cutting and digging. After a while, he called me over. Turns out he was busy digging holes until he spelled out "Pie" on the ground. He declared that the island would be renamed "Pie Island".

-Another time, I was messing around with another player (hitting each other, playing tag, etc.). Eventually, I decided to go diving and he went fishing. He kept casting his line near me and I wasn't sure why until I came back up. Apparently he mistook me for a fish. XD

i was island hopping hoping to find the cabana chair for sale (i needed to buy 7 to complete my house). after about 20 or so islands (no joke), i came across one with the cabana chair that already had two people there. i didn't think it would be a problem. i bought my 7 chairs and went to talk to the turtle behind the desk (forgot her name). one of the people there had just requested to go on a mini game and so they left to go play. i was still on the island with the other person. so i go talk to the turtle behind the counter so i could leave but she wouldn't let me because the other person on the island had their pocket open DOING NOTHING. they were changing their clothes over and over to the same stuff. i asked them if they could let me leave first and they wouldn't respond to me. this went on for two minutes but it felt like an eternity. i walked away from the counter for a few seconds and then this nightmare of a person requested to go on a mini game but WOULDN'T SIT ON THE CHAIR TO LEAVE. i was essentially stuck and i was SO ANNOYED. i said "are you kidding me" and they said "ur a fatty." i said thanks bro and disconnected, cabana chairs be damned.

i get back to my town and the cabana chairs were waiting for me in the basket on the dock :') it must have saved when the first person left to play a mini game.

Personally, the worst I've experienced are bell beggars, but other than that, nothing terrible has ever happened to me on Club Tortimer.
However, because of these stories, I don't think that I'll go there with strangers when I get my next town.
