Club Tortimer Trolls

This makes me so sad :( I've actually never had any of these problems. I mean I'm usually on at 1-2am EST, so that may have something to do with it. When I go to Club Tortimer I've had a great time doing tours with the guys and gals on the island. No one has ever threatened me personally. I've gone about seven times I think, so I'm sure something stupid will happen soon. My luck has got to run out at some point. It just makes me sad, because you could have a lot of fun doing tours or fishing, but instead people like to act like giant turds.

I know my sister has been threatened about "flipping the switch" on several occasions, and now she refuses to go to CT unless it's super early in the morning like I do.
 
Yes. They amuse me too. Most of them are just kids anyway. My favorite thing to do is when they beg for bells, I start following them and beg for bells too. They really hate that. Lol.

I love it when my basket is full and someone arrives ( saving all my basket items), and they demand bells or they flip the wifi. I let them know that he/she saved my items and then I flip the wifi on them.

This ;) I love to play them back at their own game now. And the majority do seem to be pretty young....I've had a few pleasent experiences too though. Somebody on there once was setting up a shop of toy hammers and other island items that you could buy for bells. Another guy was on there with this really cool t shirt he had designed himself so we just chatted about that for a while....somebody else came along and just started dropping 100k bags of bells and crowns and then left....

I've had the thing with them being disbelieving of my age before now too though. And I witnessed somebody else having the same thing, because she had said she was 24 and this much younger girl was saying how she can't be because of how she types ;)
Nobody tends to believe me when they ask my age on there....now I tend to be very vague and say something like between 10 years old and 100
 
I'd stay away from fishing and bug catching on club tortimer island for that exact reason. You're definitely not the first person that's happened to. I'd stick with item hunting and tours on club tortimer island and fishing/bug catching on your private island.
 
Wow. I've been to Club Tortimer hundreds of times and never had any problem.
 
I've never quite understood why people use CT for their fishing/bug catching rather than their private island. Is there like a higher spawn rate there or something?
 
What I do is I often leave the dialog box open for quite a bit until the game tells me somebody's arriving. When the game notifies me of this I keep the dialog box open until the notification eventually goes away to prevent anybody from arriving. It's the best way to keep trolls away from the island tbh, especially when you're after an exclusive item or you've collected a lot of fish.

I was just item hunting and this creep was like "Hey Hottie" as i was talking to Leilani and getting to leave but he wouldn't let me so before anything else happened I flicked the switch. I wasn't letting him keep me there :) Definitely not as bad as some experiences here, but that's just my worst one so far. lol
 
I never waste time with Club Tortimer. I don't care for tours or evil children. D:<
 
Yikes, sorry that happened to you. That's a reason why I quickly grab my stuff and get away. Too many trolls.
 
Thats why I put my high value bugs/fish in the basket one at a time and then at least they are safe if anyone comes on and flicks the wifi switch, they are so annoying!
 
I don't understand why someone use Club Tortimer for fishing or bug catching. It drives me crazy to come only on islands where someone wants to do just that. You can do it on our private island? Or if I don't want to trade or give bells they end the connection.
Once someone has been looking for certain items but when it was not there he has switch the wifi or whatever instead of leaving the island. Why is it so difficult?
 
i got trolled by somone saying they'll give me 1000 medals if i give them 50m bells (it was before i knew you couldn't give medals)

i gave them the money and he said he gave the medals, he said that it will take effect by tomorrow, -a day later-

i looked at my medals and it said 14, my usual amount, then i relised i was trolled...
 
I decided to go to CT last night. This boy named Jae from Flowers came in and said " Hi b**ch" , then he flipped the wifi.

I went back and this girl didn't want me to tour, so she flipped the wifi.

I returned once again, and there were two players there. I think the boy flipped the wifi, I went back and the girl was there and she accused me of flipping it, and she was really mad. She said there would be serious consequences. Lol.

For Club Tortimor trolls, if I ever run into one, I always tend to take my German skills to my advantage and pretend I can't speak English. It always works for me and they think I'm not worth it so they just leave. Lol

If you want to avoid this, put everything you have in the basket, then wait for someone else to arrive on the island before trying to leave. When someone arrives or leaves, your game is saved, so even if they flick the wifi switch afterwords, you'll still have your stuff. You might have to wait a few minutes for someone else to arrive, but it guarantees you'll be able to keep your stuff.
 
I have made some great friends on CT !! It's nice to stop by ever so often and see what's for sale (since some things are island exclusive) it's worth running into a troll every now and then. Mostly they're just bored lazy losers that hope you'll part with some bells or give them something free, to get rid of them. It's all part of the online gaming world, trolls are in every game you play openly with other people. At least in ACNL they can't actually hurt you or kill you and steal all your hard earned stuff like in other games. If your catching bugs and fish to make bells then why would you use CT anyway. You have your own private island to make tons of bells undisturbed. If your looking to make new friends or to go on tours, TBT Forums, right here, has a friend code exchange forum where you can meet lots of people to tour with. If you meet an especially mean and harassing troll on CT, just leave !! No one can trap you on the island. Trolls tend to follow you wherever you go, so exit the shanty wait to be followed and then go back in. Head straight to the tours desk and ask to go home.

Actually, they can. If the other person starts a tour and doesn't leave, you can't cancel the tour for them nor can you ask to go back home. You can reset the internet, but if a person doesn't know the box trick, that could mean losing all the bugs or fish they'd been catching.
