Club Tortimer encounters

I love club tortimer,
when I just started playing on that island and I was still new to the game, most of the Japanese players always wanted me to go to their towns or they come to mine. They always ended up giving me items or helping me in some way.
Also, one time on the island, I was island hopping to find a blue wetsuit.. I was getting tired so I just asked a Japanese player if they had one I could buy, he just gave it to me for free.

Absolutely! The risks of CT are minor, imo. If I hadn't stuck around to do some tours, I'd never have met this fantastic person with whom I swapnote daily. I'm so glad to hear that you made a good CT buddy as well.The good experiences that stand out really outweigh the badI'm actually surprised about the amount of negativity people have experienced in this thread @_@
I'm glad others have made good friends they've stayed in touch with through club tortimer!
I understand that. I got lucky with my friend- she speaks very good English, especially in comparison with my non-existent Japanese. Emotes are definitely your friend on CT.

I'm hoping I can find someone who speaks English but lives in a different country to me~
The first time I went, this guy harassed me for my FC and called me names after I told him no. We talked for a while after he apologized, though. The second time I went I was with a 10-year-old girl dressed like a melon. We went on a tour and then I told her I had to leave and I disconnected. It was fun.
I don't really go on CT just because I only go to the island to find a silver axe, and if the time is right, I beetle hunt.

I love it! I've made a friend or two and added a couple from there from my own country. I also often encounter groups of 4 and we all do tours so that's been really cool. I'd say that's wort getting it for. International was good, although they didn't speak as much... Or at all. Not very responsive... Such as people from Japan or Spain. I have had some USA people too and they're very talkative and friendly!
Only bad experiences I've had is the buttholes who cut down all the trees and leave it almost impossible to catch anything. Seriously, lame. Not had a hostage case though... Sounds scary ;_;

I agree with the fact that the risks are minor - just don't have a whole basket filled up with beetles, and you'll be fine. If you only want to beetle farm, why not just stay at your own island? Going on tours and meeting other players you normally would have never met is why club tortimer exists, after all!

I go to the international island and I tend to mainly meet children under 13 (usually American), with a large portion of them also under 10. I find it really awkward to play with kids. I just keep imagining what the parents would think if their kid told them they were currently chatting with some grown-up who lives on the other side of the world.
I've met a couple of nice Spanish/German folk, which I've been able to get along with because I can speak both of those languages to some extent (I studied Spanish in high school and I've spent time in Germany). I've also met a couple of Japanese people but lacking the right keyboard makes it harder to communicate with them.

I want to join with my invisible medals now ^_^ Eh.... I'll get them somehow.

I will probably be just as awkward playing with people under 10 xD I'm currently preparing 'I speak English' in all the languages I can think of, but google translate isn't most accurate

I'm currently debating whether or not I should get the membership. o_o Honestly, I'm pretty sure that it's mainly good experiences, but I'm almost a bit afraid something bad will happen to me, based on my luck. I don't know, is it really worth it? Maybe this isn't quite the thread to ask that question...but I'd thought I'd try to get some input on here.
I'm actually wondering the same thing, why I made this thread. My advice is don't let people catalog if they look fishy and whatnot. Sometimes people give you stuff like blue or gold roses, even crowns so you never know ^_^ Just don't go beetle and shark catching.... people can flick that wifi switch
There will be some decent people on quite often. For the bad times, just be prepared and don't gather things at the island, get some medals ahead of time before going to CT. But otherwise you should be fine with the players you do tours with and socialising and being able to get some nice items. It's worth going for, despite the small risks.
I go for fishing, beetle catching, and tours on Club Tortimer all the time.
I've only run into a couple people that made me upset. One kept telling me to TT for them for a holiday and when I kept saying no they flipped the switch and the other went afk with their inventory open so I had to flip the wifi because I couldn't leave.
Mostly I just run into really kind Japanese people that I wish I could communicate with better. I feel like it's a good thing to try out and you don't always have to use it.

I've met some really nice people, one guy in particular would not stop talking. He was really nice and told me stuff about Pokemon but I wanted to leave and told him I needed to go.
The first couple of times I went internationally I only met with people from my country so I wondered if it was even working right, then I met a really nice Japanese girl.
In all honesty, I get pretty bored of being there most of the time. I'm usually the only one there for the first couple of minutes and I get bored and just leave.

I wish I never bothered to get the membership.
I've never gone with the group, I'm very shy and was worried about being perceived as stuck up because I don't like using the AC keyboard to chat. I could always buy the exclusive stuff from other people. If I want to do tours with people I'm sure I could make a thread here and have fun with people I know (ish). And lastly, I hate fishing/beetle hunting with anyone let alone strangers.
However, that being said, I still have never gone so maybe id have a really great time and I'm missing out. I'm sure one day when I have time ill try it.
The reason why I regret it is because every time I want to go to my island Cappin takes forever with the dialogue asking if I want to do club tortimer or not.

Really can't understand why people are afraid to use Club Tortimer.. if you don't like the people there, just visit another island, if someone traps you just switch off your wifi. simple.
I've met two people from CT that have become my good friends on the game. But i've also met a few little ****s along the way.. one time this girl kept chasing the bugs away and was all like "i didn't chase them...?"

Thanks to this thread, I am going to try to go to CT again! I had pretty much given up on it because after the first few times it was people who left as soon as I got there, people who were idle, annoying people who constantly follow me around, and once was somebody who was in the process of chopping down all the trees and digging up stumps when I arrived, even after I asked them to stop. Left immediately and haven't been back since. I'd love to meet a friend and exchange gifts though!
I only do bug hunting and fishing on my own island. I go to CT international because it seems you find the rare items easier there. 2 nights ago while looking for the silver axe, I found the treasure chest. A girl came to the island and we both needed about 80 medals to get it. We played for over an hour and had a great time even though we didn't talk about anything besides how bad we did or being happy when we did great.
I have done tours with people who don't speak English. With the emotions it was easy to shake my head when I had to leave and they understood. I only had one person disconnect on me when I was trying for the sand castle but I gave her the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident or she didn't know it would knock me out too because we had played together for about a half hour.
I've never had any problems with hostage or bullying. If I did, I'd just flip the Wi-Fi switch, after I blocked them, and try again.

I met a girl named Athena from Athens and I let her catalog my crown and then we went on some tours together. I have also met a little french boy who I was able to communicate with because of my minor french skills. The worst people are the ones who come and then immediately leave or the ones who come just to turn their wifi off.
