Club Tortimer Horror Stories

I run into a lot of kids that hit me with their nets, cut down the trees on purpose, scare my fish.It'all harmless fun for them.I just goof off right back at em.A couple of times i've had kids say rude things, and i asked them if they were having a bad day.Both of them opologized then told me about their aweful day.lol.

The ones that really bug me is when they immediately ask my friend code or age.I would rather have someone hold me hostage for bells or flip the wifi.

This little kid kept following me. I sat on a bench, got up, he did the same like he was my shadow. I was like, "Dude, please stop following me." And he was like, "*Cries* YOUR SO MEAN!! GO AWAY!!" And he would keep yelling that whilst still following me. I got really fed up, so I was going to leave but I wasn't going to flick the switch because of all the bugs, but he flicked the switch, losing me hundreds of bells!

Here's a thing. Do not use Club Tortimer for fishing/bug hunting. These horrible kids will try to scare off bugs or fish on purpose. I'm glad that didn't happen to you, but still don't. I really hate people who harass others and get violent towards them if they won't let them harass them. And I really hate the ones that ask for all the Bells. I don't care if they're kids that don't know any better, but if they're causing trouble, then I will think they are just as bad as the adult cyberbullies.

Yeah, I like reading them too. Despite how horrible some of these are, at least we can look back and share a laugh and teach others.

Here's a recent story of mine: I was fishing on the island waiting for some people to come by so I could do some tours. After 5 mins a girl joins and greets me with "Hey Noob", starts aggressively circling me while I was trying to get my fish on and proceeds to brag about how rich she is (which was hilarious since she looked pretty nooby herself). After she brags for 2 minutes I follow up with "cool" and then someone else joins... and then immediately ditches on a tour after this girl begins asking her for a gift. I'm still on the island, waiting for more people to come just so I could see how they react to this girl. During our wait, she explains to me her "get rich method", which is basically the usual island scam except this one required her to "intimidate" others with her wealth and make them confess that they're rich. She cleared off all the trees in the center so the next rich person who comes along would have room to drop their bells (hey atleast she's considerate, right?). She kept insisting that I help her out but I left pretty quickly, not really knowing what to say because this is the first time I came across someone like that.

It was all very stupid.

I haven't done "Club Tortimer."

Based on some of what has been described here, it sounds like it should be renamed Trolls @ Tortimer.
 
I bet this is a sick trick of Tortimer. First, he doesn't do a good job as mayor. He hosts events, but doesn't work on projects. Then he tricked us by lying about Boondox, and set up a club full of trolls. What is wrong with that turtle?
 
I'm still trying to get in CT :/
But after reading all these bad stories, is it worth it to keep trying?

Been reading all the horror stories about CT before I even bought my copy of ACNL, so it's puzzling to me why people are still going to the club for fishing/bugs. Isn't that something you can do on your own private island as well...? :o

Guess the only reason for joining CT would be to do island tours with others to earn medals?
Please correct me if I'm wrong - I rarely do any island activities or tours, and won't even consider earning any medals to join CT,
so that makes me a little lacking in the island/club department.

I do agree that the CT is a wonderful idea on paper, not so much in reality though.
Hopefully there would be some major improvement to the CT if they have it in the next AC game.
 
So the biggest lesson to take away from this thread is "Do NOT fish/catch bugs on CT".

I'm still trying to get into CT. I often find trolls pretty entertaining so this could be fun. Also trolling back is always great :D

I do feel worried for all the tiny 10yr old kids going on CT tho...
 
I could care less about CT. I think the point was to meet people etc.
I went once and this girl with devil eyes showed up. She immediately started a tour. I opened the basket (didn't even put any thing in) and she DC. I knew it was going to happen. To me its so lame and immature.
 
The only times I veer go to catch bugs on CT is if it is daytime in my timezone and I want to catch bugs on the palm trees that are worth awhile, then it makes sense for me to go to an international island that is currently night time so I can catch bugs to sell even though it is still day time where I live. I only really do this though if. I have nothing to do all day then I might just catch bugs for quite a few hours to store up on bells for the week.

It would just be nice though if turning off the wifi switch did not affect the other people on the island as well, then we wouldn't have to be so cautious about bug hunting on CT!

Oh my where do I even start, I've had so many bad things happen to me on the island xd

Usually the most common case is when I'm searching islands for things to buy with medals and I find something really rare that I want on an island (maybe something like the treasure chest) and then there is a person who prevents me from leaving.

I think some of them wait around islands that have very rare items and then stop others from leaving. Happened to me so, I flipped the wifi. I lost the item - oh well; however it also meant the bully was no longer on the island which gave other people had a chance to buy the rare item!

One time a kid held me up and started 'singing'(in writen form of course) the entire Canadian national anthem - goodness me; I didn’t know whether to get annoyed or amused.

I was shark-fishing on my spare time and this girl kept scaring them on purpose, so I asked her to stop. She asked "How many do you have already?" and I said "Uh... maybe 20? Why did you want to catch some? I can let you do a few." And she was like "20?!? It would be a shame if someone..." "ENDED IT" and flipped.
Like seriously you make ME lose progress over a MEME?!

Also there was this kid who was like "Can I kiss you" every few minutes and I finally got fed up and lied saying I was a guy, to which he responded "That's kinda hot. I'm 11, how old are you?"

This is really educational lol
Lesson learned: never tell the meme lords how much of one thing you truly have.

That second one sounds really funny. I love it.

About a week ago, I went on Club Tortimer because I was bored. This kid (probably somewhere in the 8-12 range, based on their typing) was already there. I greeted them (I say hello to everyone I meet on the island) and went to go fishing. The kid comes up to me and says "ur hot". I thank them awkwardly. They then ask if I could kiss them and be their girlfriend. I do my best to politely reject them (as well as tell them that I'm 17) and go to put my fish away. The kid then keeps repeating "Im lonely", "Im alone", etc. I felt really bad for not apologizing, but I was getting creeped out. I then blocked them and left.

Word of advice, kids: If you're looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend, do not use Club Tortimer to do it. Some of us just want to catch things and have a good time.
 
I only went on twice. First time, some dude asked me how many bells I had. He left immediately after I told him XD

The second time I went on, I met someone from this forum who convinced me to get on! So I guess I have 1 positive and 1 negative moment from CT.
 
This was on my previous town (I was mayor 5W4GG13 of Booty, so yeah...) and had a guy say "I'd like to see ur reel booty." and I just ignored it, thinking it was just a dumb kid. I guess he thought I was being rude or something because then he called me terrible things (and this is coming from someone who was bullied for the whole middle school years.) I was like "lmao, imma leave." and he was like "no. I didn't mean it bby."

I think the Campsite system in ACNH is way more manipulative than it seems.
