Your worst Club Tortimer experience

[Aniko]

I've never done the whole CT thing, but the idea of very few people speaking English somehow makes it more enticing to me...

I spend a lot of time there and most of people can speak English, apart maybe the younger users. We have the choice of local or international islands.

Oh! One night there were pitfalls all over the island, rather hilarious, but how do you do that?

 

[PandaMasque]

I always go international. I can't speak Japanese, but it gets interesting to meet the people that do speak or know a little bit of English.

I'm not sure if I'm merging two stories together here, as it was quite a while ago, but, you guys know of that beetle catching method, right? You know, the one where you cut down the palm trees? Well, to avoid having to demolish my own island, I tend to go on Club Tortimer and demolish those islands instead. Now, some players are open to the idea and help out, provided I explain what I'm doing to them before going ahead with it. Others, however, aren't so open. One experience I recall involved a young lady who thought I was visiting her island, and me demolishing the island would result in her private one being demolished. I tried to explain that it wouldn't, but after I had done so, she got an axe and cut all of them down (you're not supposed to cut all of them down) and then disconnected. It goes without saying that I was a tad bit irritated by this most unfortunate misunderstanding.

some tours have a lot of pitfalls in them, one being one of the harder balloon tours and i think the other is one of the harder hide and seek tours.

i remember me and this older girl were on the island and there were some kids there, they started harassing her out of the blue and proceeded to harass me when i was siding with her. i had met one of those kids on another island prior to that one and she cost me 300k bells...

other than that i'm too anxious to talk to other people on the island but i might get a kick out of flipping the switch when they think they've scammed me out of bells lol.

Of course! It's where you get those! I'm an idiot U_U...I have to try that

Kids are often impolite, but at 17 you should be old enough to behave it seems, I always refrain to say a lot of silly things because most of them are just kids anyway....next time I see rude ones I will put pitfalls everywhere around them and then hit them with my toy hammer. Should be fun hehehe....

I also thought that I should follow them around singing "you are my sunshine" or try an imitation of Pepe the pew.

I usually only go on CT to check on island items... I don't really get lucky but I still try D: anyways.. It gets annoying when I see people keep begging for bells.. Like as soon as I arrive there some players are like "Hey.. I'm so poor.. Someone else gave me this much bells.. Can you give me some bells too I'm soooo poor.. Please...blah blah blah" oh and one time I actually wanted to relax and go on tours for a while.. This guy & girl sat down as I was talking to go on the tour, so I thought they were gonna join me. But no, they stood up as soon as I sat down, leaving me to go on a tour all by myself =_= they tricked me xP or someone would flick the wi fi switch cuz they didn't like the tour I chose.. this one girl just gave up during the balloon tour (I guess she got tired of falling in pitfalls).. She just kept following me & walking around instead of shooting any balloons. Wasted like 5 mins and got no medals >_<;

 

[Autem]

I just go to Club Tortimer to check what items are being sold and then leave, so I've never really had any bad experiences. It's really annoying when I see a really good item and then someone disconnects, though.

 

[Mookie]

Last night, as soon as I arrived I was greeted with "hi bich". I looked at their info, it was a girl who started last week and quote was "I AM 9"

 

[TheGreatBrain]

Lol. I love reading these. The pitfall one is funny. I've planted pitfalls a couple of times. One kid got really mad.

I think the worse experience for me is when they tell you their personal problems. I can't possibly know if it's the truth or they are messing with me.Here are some that i've heard.......

I'm suicidal
I have bipolar and I'm sad all the time.
My dad / mom just died.
My brother tried to choke my little sister to death.Nearly killed her.
I'm 18 and pregnant. Boyfriend dumped me, and I miss /love him so much.

The trolls on ct entertain me, but the above makes me sad and uncomfortable.

 

[Coach]

Well, I was called gay just because I was wearing some Gracie Grace clothes. .-.
But the worst ones are where there are kids who just harass you all the time! I'm lucky though, because there is usually someone else my age so I can just block out the younger kid and talk to them!

But I'm super conscious about bringing out my Toy hammer, because if someone else joins and it saves without it being in my box, someone could disconnect and it would be gone!

 

[Aniko]

Talking about bells beggars, it's not rare to see them doing absolutely nothing on islands or shake palm trees to pick up the fruits instead of the golden stag that was on it. Some are just there whining they are poor while others catch valuable bugs and fish. I also heard someone say that it was too long to catch all those bugs...How do they think others make money? Spoiled pampered kids

 

[goey0614]

The moment when I want to buy the white wetsuit and... it disconnected lol
(Pretty sure it wasn't my internet problem though)

 

[Aniko]

Today a French girl asked me where I was from, then she said "I'm from your butt"

9 years old I guess?

 

[daiyuflower]

Yeah I have no desire at all to join Club Tortimer....... >_< All of these experiences sound terrible. Why are people such jerks online?

 

[Cherry-Blossoms]

I like to have a bit of fun on the island. I drop a bag of 99k then hide behind a tree and wait for someone to come. I see if they pick it up or not. If they do I just disconnect and if they don't I dont. It's a way to tell who's a thief

 

[peppy villager]

One time this little punk in a flame shirt and frog hat (so basically he looked like he was probably young) was following me (17) and this other girl (23) around and scaring off all the fish she was trying to catch and all the beetles I was trying to catch. Then he proceeded to cut down every tree and run around screaming "POOP" and "DIEEEEE" and "GET OUTTT." Then I was like "Are you okay? Chill." and the other girl said "Seriously". And he kept screaming "YOU'RE STUPID" and she was like "Well at least I've hit puberty". hahaha. why do little children have access to internet.

People are jerks online.. my first ever online gaming experience (as a polite sensible 12 year old), was on a multiplayer game where I was obviously pitted with an adult who swore at me no end when i didnt even say anything and just tried to play my game .. bwuh

so my point is: for this reason i don't go on club tortimer. AC is meant to be this lovely fantasy world, with lovely people and such. why ruin it by interacting with random people, ughr.

 

[Candy83]

?. I refused for reasons, one of them being that CT has a reputation for having scammers/trolls. The next island had a girl called "Kya" and someone else I forgot (I think Josh?). The guy kept talking about how he was gay and how we was looking for a boyfriend. I'm fine with that, but he would not stop talking about that and it got kind of irritating and awkward after awhile. Somewhere in the back in my head I felt like he he was just trolling, though.?

What an interesting venue for supposedly trying to pick someone up! In fact, I agree with your feeling that the person was trolling. In reality, it doesn't make sense.

 

[Oakhaven]

I'm not crazy about Club Tortimer in the first place, and one particular experience TOTALLY turned me off to it. I went to beetle harvest, and look for mermaid furniture when I met a player I'll just refer to as J. This player ran around after me the entire session, explaining that they were 12, and really wanted to buy the new pokemon game and kept asking me for my credit card number. They said that their parents wouldn't but it for them, and just continued to badger me for money or my credit card! I kept saying no of course, and quickly ended the session because they were being so incredibly obnoxious and unpleasant.
