Club Tortimer Pet Peeves

[Eve]

I had someone who kept on asking for my clothes. I was wearing Gracie and they wouldn't let me leave so I switched off my DS.
Also, little kids. They are annoying.

My tips for anyone playing Club Tortimer:

1. Don't wear Gracie Grace, or they'll beg
2. Don't say that you're rich, or wear something super expensive
3. Flip the WiFi switch if someone isn't letting you leave

Yep! Advice from Eve.

There are good tips I may not wear my hot dog hat then I akeays get asked by people if they can have it

 

[katysu]

Those tips Eve: - I wouldn't wear anything expensive or non-orderable - a bit of a tease to do so.
Whatever you wear tho can cause comment, eg shorts on a girl. I just ignore it.

Don't say you are rich - well they look at your profile & the medals show if you had/have a lot of bells, so hard to avoid.

Flip the wifi switch - yes I do, but I also have a New 3dsXL + the game - & I haven't joined CT on this game as there is no wifi switch on the new console - I presume switching off the router would work, haven't tried it. Do not want to have to power off the console.

I never go to a CT island expecting to be able to fish/bug hunt - I might do a bit if I have the island to myself, otherwise its not worth the hassle.

Welcome to Tips to survive Club Tortimer by Magic Marshmallow, aka Diana Rose Ava Marie! (Yes, I have a three word middle name)
...and Eve, aka I don't know!

Tip 1: Never give bells, or say you are rich! Don't give into the beggars no matter what they say (see last post made by me on this thread) because all they want is BELLS. Listen kid, you ain't gonna get anywhere in life if you beg people for everything. You gotta work for success!

Tip 2: Flip the switch when the time calls for it! Perverts, trolls... They're all on the island. And they will likely try finding a way to trap you on the island or make you feel uncomfortable. Don't put up with their ****, flip that switch!

Tip 3: Try not to wear overly expensive things. Yes, I do wear a crown on the island to complete my Princess Peach cosplay, and I haven't experienced any beggars for it. But that doesn't mean you will be as lucky! If someone repetitively asks, you can just flip the switch right then and there, or leave if they haven't trapped you.

Tip 4: Know the tricks and glitches. If someone traps you on a stump by digging holes around you, you arent really trapped! There is a glitch that lets you fall into holes from a stump like a pitfall. Then you can laugh by seeing how they react!

Remember, among the trolls, creeps and beggars, there are nice people too who will want to chat with you or go on tours with you. So keep looking!

Well, I met a kid. He said hi, followed by asking me if I had a credit card and how much I had in my Eshop account... Weird.
Then, he asked for a million bells. I say no. Then he goes into how his uncle and dog died and he needs money for their funeral. I say how virtual money won't help you get things in real life, and he says he will give Nintendo the money, in exchange for 100,000 real dollars... Which sounds super fake, and I tell him how a bell is equivalent (actually don't know if this is true, read somewhere it might be) to a Japanese Yen, which is about .8something of a U.S. Dollar, so 1 million bells can't be equal to 100,000 dollars. I also ask how he was able to make an agreement with Nintendo to do that, he says he called them. He also says I'll get a prize of a 50$ Eshop card, and I ask how he will get the card to me. He says Nintendo. He keeps begging me to donate to his 'charity,' and I just error.

This was the post I was talking about.

I haven't experienced anything too bad, but there is one thing I have experienced that makes me seriously uncomfortable. People who ask for your age. Yes I'm 19 and I play Animal Crossing, I am not a pervert, now go away >.>

I mean, there are other stuff like people who destroy the island and then leave, or those who are there to just catch crummy bugs. Like, can you not do that on your own island? Now I exclusively island-hop, since it's not worth it trying to find someone who is willing to do tours for bonus medals.

Oh yeah, and people who ask for FCs without even having a conversation first. I know they just want to steal my stuff, so I just ignore them/leave/flip the switch if needed.

 

[mintellect]

I just went on the Istand and met this kid, first thing he says is can I have bells. I say no, he asked why, and I say I choose what to do with my own money. He then goes on to destroy the island, digging every last thing up, and tries to fill the island with holes. I keep filling them in although I didn't really care, I was just bored. After a while he says "error in 3-2-1-0" and I say "Why? Is this all because I didn't give you bells?" But he dosent reply. He errors.

Haven't read the entire thread so don't know if this has been posted, but if you start a tour and don't leave while no one else is on the island, no one can enter the island. Usually when I arrive on the island there's another person, so I go on a tour and by the time I get back they're gone, then I start a tour and leave for the beach area. Good if you're only going there for beetles/sharks. I do believe they spawn faster on CT than by yourself.

There's a kid on the island, he isn't acting weird but he's from the town of --------, and his name is --------. Such creativity.

Ikr? I literally just met a guy, his name was "awesome", and he was from "cooooooool."

 

[mintellect]

Ikr? I literally just met a guy, his name was "awesome", and he was from "cooooooool."

XD I once met a guy who came from a town called awesome, and he just walked around saying "im poor. money." And get this: he was scaring all the rare stuff away. I said "you know, you could be catching those bugs, and making MONEY." But nah, he'd rather continue to beg and look stupid and hit me with an axe.
I think I told this already but I think it's worth a retell.

Definitely. XD

Once, there were two people on the island. They saw my money badge. Recipe for disaster. So anyway, they said,

"MONEY GIMME GIMME" and I said, "Um... sorry, but no." And one said, "5m for each of us! NOW" I left the island.

Screw them! xD Which badge do you have? Gold? I only have silver. But I seem to get every money beggar ever even back when I only had bronze.

I've only been to the multiplayer island once. There was one other person who asked me for money so I dropped them 100 bells.
They didn't go on any tours with me and it was daytime so there weren't any bugs or fish that I wanted to get either.

This ended up with me leaving soon after and I haven't had any desire to go back since. I have done local multiplayer / multiplayer with my friend island tours and visits and those have been really fun though!

 

[mintellect]

And this isn't really related, but I never say hello first. I always wait for the people there to say hi. Sometimes I don't even say hi at all. Most people don't mind, but (I think I told this already aswell) there was a girl who kept saying hi, and I didn't reply. So she literally stalked me around the island, scaring al the rare things I was trying to catch away- all because I wouldn't say hi to her. I wanted to rage on her, but I just left. Shouldn't feed the trolls.

I laugh in my mind at people like that, as they're hurting themselves aswell. They earn a bad reputation on the ACNL community, and they also are losing money they could be making by catching the rare stuff. It's really ironic that several beggars I run into destroy the island or scare away what I'm trying to catch as punishment, but tbh I dont REALLY need those bugs. They are the ones that really do, if they're begging, so they're only hurting themselves.

 

[Klave]

I can kind of understand why she would be annoyed / sad that she said hi and you didn't reply but going around and scaring away the bugs and fish is really childish and unfair. It's good though that you did just leave - like you said, feeding trolls is bad.

So far, my Club Tortimer experiences have not been too bad. I've actually met a few nice people. However, I've had a few experiences of people trying to extort bells or just asking weird questions. I visited some island, said literally "Hi" to the one other person on the island. Instead of saying "Hi" back, they asked me "Are you a Christian?"

I immediately returned home.

I am Christian (Well, Catholic, but isn't that like a religion inside the Christian religion or something?, but if they ask that that is super weird and like of creepy. But do you know what is a weird question?

"Did u have a great poop 2day?"
I was like "What kind of question is that?" And she says "Idk a question", followed by "I love you, will you marry me for a credit card?" I said "uh..." And left.

I also met a Japanese player (I think) but they spoke fluent English. We were having a really nice conversation actually, we were talking about food we like and stuff, and then out of nowhere, she says, "Do you ever do sex?"
I don't know if that's a big deal in Japan, but I just left.

(I'm pretty sure I told these stories too...)

 

[Lazy Faye]

Christianity is my faith as well, but I just thought it was the most combative thing to ask. Especially because you never know who you are meeting and what religion they may have.

Anyway, the questions you have been asked are definitely weirder. eek.

Once a time I met this girl. She was wearing that expensive crown, but she still asked me about money because she was "poor"
I said no and, surprisingly, she stopped begging. But then she starts talking French. I don't understand a word so I just reply "Huh?" And she starts swearing at me (in English) just because I didn't reply. I have even told her that I don't speak French.

Wow... that's just weird! I can't believe so much weird stuff like that has happened to soooooo many people! Any more pet peeves?

Especially the weird French part.
