Club Tortimer Pet Peeves

I usually have more positive experiences than negative. There are a lot of immature people, but what do you expect when online? I usually go North America - only, because having a language barrier is sort of awkward. :p Have met really nice Japanese and Italian people. :3

But I hate when people just immediately leave without even saying hi or bye, flipping their wifi switch, or being rude or inappropriate. :/
 
I get Bell Beggars all the time.. I just island hop but I sometimes get locked out from trying to leave.

@tokkio : Like this? ;)

YESSSSS omg hahah when i experienced it, i got around 5 mil lol the random stranger dropped more and i can still get more but i went home after getting a huge amount in case he decides to flick off the wifi switch or in case of a wifi disconnection teehee :cool:
 
I'm always very polite, but sometimes I like to act goofy.

I like to.....

Greet the new arrival by saying hello with there name. Example. Hello Calvin. Then I say- How are you this fine morning/day ?

Catch a small fish and say "OMG, I CAUGHT A SHARK " Then I walk over and show off my small fish.

When I'm having a bad luck day, I run in front of someone and trip in front of them.Then I accuse them of tripping me.

Hide pitfalls behind flowers, trees, and bushes. Gets em everytime.

Put on my ogre mask and chase the Islanders with an axe yelling "KILLLLLLLL."

Even though I act crazy, I also like to give away gold and blue roses and rare hats or crowns to the polite people.
 
There's usually nice people whenever I go there, but once I was on the island with my best friend and this random 10 year old kept following her and cutting down all the palm trees :/ also in my old town I was an idiot and traded on the island, this really nice girl bought me bush starts because I didn't have medals so I gave her bells in return and this other girl just came and stole my bells... ;-;

The two in that photo literally begged me to take some, but I didn't. But this other person came to the island, ran outside from the little hut and just started taking it all! I laughed so hard!
 
I'm one of those people that comes and leaves as soon as I get there. Why? I'm only looking for specific items. If other people didn't try to scam/prevent one from leaving then people wouldn't have to leave like their lives depended on it. So... yeah. I've never had a good Club Tort experience.

Oh my god, I have heard so many stories.. All of them bad. Like, asking for nudes... Or asking where they live/making threats to come rape them. Or saying creepy stuff to them or trying to cyber or something. God, I am too afraid to use this feature.

I also heard some sucky situations. Like, being black mailed. Not letting the other person go anywhere till they are given bells, which is aweful. ;-; People like these ruin the whole purpose and fun of the game. Because of this I have stuck to just playing with friends directly. To me I'm not going to waste my medals/money/whatever to go somewhere to not be able to do anything because the other person it playing unfairly.

People like these realllly ruin the game for everyone. And, it's even more sickening, because a lot of little kids play these games. Like, what's wrong with you? This could be a 8 year old you're pretending to touch. Stop that. No! It's sickening in so many ways.

If nintendo ever plans to do something like this again they need to make a reporting system or something. God. I'm pretty sure there a way they could do it, since you have to go online to use the feature... And then if the report goes through nintendo will know the NNID/Friend code that did it and send out a ban. Cause, rape threats/sexual harassment even on a game is really bad. /=
 
I usually have good experience on Club Tortimer, but I absolutely can't stand when people are rude, begging for bells, or being destructive for no reason. But, like I said, I usually meet nice people on there who are willing to be friendly and cooperate and play games :)
 
I remember this girl who blocked me from leaving, but was actually really nice.
But when she blocked me I added her to my ignore list, then I
regretted it.
 
-Immature people that have no idea what they're talking about
-People that dig up holes for some reason.
-hackers that bring golden tools with them and can chat while checking inventory, preventing you to leave and taunt you at the same time.
- emotion spammers

There is a glitch that lets you chat while in the thinking pose, and the game thinks you're in the inventory. If you press the chat button and then the X button on the 3Ds really fast, you may be able to pull it off. Doesn't require hacking.

I don't think there's a way to bring tools to the island though without hacking...

Somewhat on topic, these are the kinds of people on Club Tortimer I've heard of or ran into.

Nice people who strike up conversations*#
People that just wanna tour with others*
Island hoppers*
Trolls that trap you
Beggars*****
"Will you marry me"ers*
Perverts*
Nine year old weirdos*
Ones that just ignore you*#
Ones that say hi and ignore you*#
Gives you tons of bells, then errors%
Mr. I error everyone
People who tell you sob stories about their life*
A mysterious person who hardly says anything#
Possibly others I forgot#*

*=Someone I've experienced
%= Someone I may have experienced, not sure
#= Me, sometimes, I think

Yes, I've simply ignored people. I don't know why. Just a thing I do. And yes, I've acted mysterious and quiet,just to see how others react.

Once, I ran into a guy who claimed he was a hacker, and had the max amount of bells. He gave me 1.5 MILLION bells, because he said he had so much he didn't know what to do with it, so he gives it away. We got into a conversation, and out of nowhere, an error.
I have no clue if he did it on purpose or not.

There IS a block feature to garentee you won't run into them again, but most people forget it's there and if you block someone who's trapping you on the island, you will eventually have to error, not saving that you blocked the person. So yeah, Nintendo needs to come up with a punishment.
 
Every time I'm about to catch a rare bug or a shark somebody goes on a tour of leaves the island and the island has to reload. -.-
 
Mine are common, I'd say:

-people leaving or coming when I'm about to catch something good
-connection errors/people just disconnecting for w/e reason
-people purposely scaring away bugs
-people just constantly hitting my character with an ax or net
-people not letting me leave the island (they stand at the desk without any intention of moving)
-People constantly asking for bells/to try on my crown (like hell)

Tbh, I just go there for the island tours only.
I used to like going to catch rare stuff during my town's daytime, but too much stuff happened for me to want to go back and do that.
I've met some nice people, though.
 
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.
 
I have no idea how old this one boy was , but he was very friendly. After awhile he told me he was a movie producer. I asked him if he could make me a star. He said he could if I was ok with adult films. I told him to hang on so I could ask my mommy. He took off inside the building and left without so much as a goodbye.lol.
 
I actually just recently joined lol. Took me 2 years.

But I hate when someone has already chopped down all the trees by the time I got there. This bozo was sitting on a stump and had already chopped all trees down. The whole island was deserted except for him on the stump. Then, another girl got there and we just wandered around. I think the stimp guy was AFK, but we dug holes EVERYWHERE around him so he couldn't get off.

.... (;

Well, there is a glitch that lets you fall into holes from a stump like a pitfall. I'm assuming he didn't know about it.

I'm kind of hoping one day someone tries to 'trick' me into being 'trapped' on a stump, and I show them the glitch, I want to see how they react xD
 
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.
