Club Tortimer - What was your experience?

I don't like going. I get anxious lol. And whenever I go, I always get paired up with someone who's afk.

Once I had someone who came in, saw me and left. :(

I do that with people sometimes, it's when I feel like it's going to be awkward. I don't like being on an island with one person. People do it to me too though.
Also, I wish that going international was easier. I have to practice my language skills all the time. I want to meet people who can speak English and I've never met an American before.

I had my share of good and annoying experiences. I only went to Club Tortimer for the items. I think that's why a lot of people leave right away.
 
I go quite often and ive only ever had 2 negative experiences! The first was with a girl who decided to join me on the shark tour, and started getting angry when you couldnt catch any and shouting at me, saying i was going to get all the medals and she was going to get 0. We both got 0, i tried to tell her that, but she stormed off the island :/ the second was a girl who kept asking me for bells, hitting me with her net and trying to dig holes around the entrance so i couldnt leave XD they werent really bad experiences, just kind of annoying

In the past I went very often, and I had mostly a good time! I met a lot of friends on Club Tortimer, and we exchanged our Fcs and played together. I had fun! I find that I don't enjoy myself there as much as I used to.
 
I have never gone to Club Tortimer before, I have been a little apprehensive since I have no idea what it's like and what happens in the game. But I need to at least go and see what it is, since I bought the pass for it too lol. I hope things go well, and not weird haha.

Well I just tried it, and it was ok. I was with one person and they were nice, but my internet went down! >.<
 
I'm the jerk that goes to the island looking for certain things and leaves right away. Sorry guys :(
 
I've had a lot of mixed visits to the membership island. Back before the update people would constantly ask for bells and sometimes when you said no they would turn off their wifi and crash the island or stand there with their bag or something open so you couldn't leave.

I also went to the international island before and there was a girl from France, she started cursing at me in French when i wouldnt give her my bells! I didnt know what to say or do because she kept following me and wouldn't take no for an answer! I only know she was cursing at me in French because i was putting her messages into google translate haha.

Sometimes I just go for items! I've had good experiences too, we went on tours and had fun and then went our separate ways! :)

I would choose my own country's island, but I'm from New Zealand, and I've literally never been able to connect with anyone that way since so few people play here. I try my best to be polite on the islands, but the language barrier really does get in the way :/

Heyy, I'm from NZ too :)
 
Yet more incompetence today, folks! Got paired with a few classically inexperienced kids, and one of them crashed the connection literally just after I caught a golden stag. As you can imagine, I spent a good minute shouting profanities at the annoying little Resetti screen, before trying again. I have so little faith in the average person who goes to the island.

The hilarious part about being digging holes in an attempt to capture you is that they forget that you can simply just kick the dirt in. XD It's faster to kick the dirt in than to actually dig the holes. So you'd outrun them in no time haha.

I never have had any bad experiences. I kinda want to tbh to laugh.
 
I wasn't even island hopping, and I found it.
A toy hammer.
How lucky is that?
There were a couple other folks on the island aswell.
I bought 3 hammers with the few medals I had, I then asked if anyone wanted to go on a tour. Without informing anyone a girl started the easy gardening tour. I then said I wanted to select the shark one, because it grants loads of medals. She selected that one and off we both went. She and I both caught 1 shark in the first 30 seconds. Then I caught 4 sharks and she still hadn't caught any other sharks. "Hmm, maybe she is having bad luck?" I started to assume she was noobish or lazy. She we bumped intol each other (literally) I saw that she was running. I informed her that she can't run if she wished to catch sharks. she then stated that "i cant catch sharks" This was in the last 30 seconds and keep in mind all wee needed was to catch a measly 8 sharks, so 4 each. This made me very angry and if she couldn't catch sharks, why go on the tour? We earned 0 medals and she told me that she was "dorry" I quickly formed a plan. I started a shark tour and sat done very quickly. As predicted, she was too slow. She told me that she was sorry and off I went on a tour. I caught 15 sharks and earned a load of medals. after the tour was done I was giving myself a round of applause. The, it said someone was coming to the island.

"Surely
-I thought-
it couldn't possibly be..."

it was her.

She simply said "Finally"

My fight or flight instincts kicked in.

I started to talk to Lelani and she assumed I was going on a tour.

Ha.

I went home and am currently enjoying my toy hammers. :)

I realized I forgot to buy another hammer. Oops.

(I feel a little bad about ditching her twice but she made me so angry.)
 
One of the few times I went on Club Tortimer, I met an American guy. (im American too)
We started talking, we took some tours, and we wanted to exchange FCs soon after. But you can't access the Friend List from the suspension. So we said bye and that ended.
A few days later I went to the island again, and I met a group of Americans. We had fun and we chatted :] basically it
 
I met an American girl on international who had a full blown hello kitty outfit. I was doing my usual bell dump then asked in the middle if she wanted to hat trade. She said no and I said "ok"
I kept dropping bells and she thought I wanted her hat still. XD
I told her it was fine, wished her luck on bug hunting and left. :)
 
I love how this thread keeps getting bumped, lol.

I think Club Tortimer is pretty cool, but I dislike how one person disconnecting kicks everyone. This is the reason why I always bug-hunt solo.
 
I'm in America, and have gone on the island a few times and literally every single time no one else was there. :')
 
I went once and it was fine. The other person and I didn't talk at all but we went on a few tours together. For some reason, I thought the island would look a bit different so I was kinda disappointed. I don't see much of a purpose for going tbh
 
I still have never gone to Club Tortimer. The idea of interaction with random players just doesn't appeal to me.
 
It was honestly fine for me. I wish I had an interesting or funny story to tell, but I don't at all. Every time I've gone, it's been kinda boring and the other person always leaves in less than like 5 minutes.
 
I just went to the island about half an hour ago, and all I ran into was a bell begger. She asked for some bells and I just said I didn't have any, and then she just said "*sighs* bye -_-" and left.
