What was the worst experience you've had with another player in your town?

[de-carabas]

The only bad experience I remember having was when this girl came to my town for signatures. It was a pretty weird start to begin with, she kept using different Dr. Shrunk faces over and over again until I finally told her to follow me for my villagers.

She kept running around weirdly and not really talking to villagers until she bumped into Fauna.

Fauna was apparently her ultimate dreamie and she spent at least 10 minutes (10 minutes!!) chatting to her in her house. I was getting annoyed.

When she exited Fauna's house, I lead her to villagers but she kept running around doing her thing. Needless to say I was happy when she was done and ended the wi-fi session quickly afterwards -_-

I understand Fauna was her dreamie, but she didn't need to spend so long with her. It's a little inconsiderate of my time :/

I started playing ACNL not very long ago, so I did rude things without knowing

I never had any of the AC game series (and never had a a Nintendo DS either, hehe)

I didn't know about this site, and exchanged friend codes from facebook.

I think the worse I have done was to take lots of orange from someones town, not knowing they took time to grow back But I gave them peaches in return.
I guess i didn't know how precious things were in this game. (flowers, cedars, etc.)

My gates were open all the time, so people came and go. there was one person who asked me all the time if i had cedars, or fossils, without knowing they were thought for in the game, same for talking to my villagers.

But now I know the etiquettes! and follow them

My second town (horror themed town almost done...) I had no bad stuff happen...luckily. My first town I had never played any AC title before. I had a Japanese girl over so I thought hey cool, since I know a little Japanese and all. I was showing her around well as another girl I just met. Things seemed ok till the one girl started walking around freely...too freely. Then suddenly left I didn't know what that implies yet. So after the other girl left I noticed why she left...took my only 2 gold roses, and my blue roses. I had not gotten a lot of hybrids by then. So I ask her if she knew anything about them, I was told to die and she logged out.

Woah that is really intense I'm really sorry that happened to you ._.

Eh, it happens. I had an English girl one time take gold roses behind trees thinking I wouldn't see it. Still the worst was that Japanese girl... しね (die) is just messed up. You live and you learn.

This topic describes my worst experience with another player: "Changed my mind about having guests."

As for a much less disgusting example, one person acted fun, carefree, etc., in order to befriend me then completely changed behavior when arriving at my town for the first time. She ran around immediately without saying anything, demanded I go where she wanted (without bothering to specify where she was), then demanded I dupe certain items that caught her eye in my main house.

I was unfamiliar with the details, and remained uncomfortable, about duping, so offered to buy her the items instead, and have them available the next day (she demanded the duping of cheap, orderable items). This suggestion seemed to leave her confused; she became more aggressive in her replies, and finally flipped the switch.

To say the least, I've met some crazy people.

I haven't had any bad experiences, thankfully, since I've only started letting strangers into my town recently (when I joined this forum, pretty much) and I'm careful to keep an eye on them and lay down the basic rules before we start. If someone tried to steal or destroy things or was just making me waste time by spending ages talking to a villager, I'd probably just end the wifi session.

Stories about people seemingly leaving but staying in the town wrecking things are a reason why I don't find it so bad when a visitor is lazy and tells me to just kick them out when they're done. At least that way I'm sure they've left without having to walk them to the station.

I just couldn't bring myself to steal from someone's town or destroy it, I'd just feel bad that they'd been nice enough to invite me into their towns and I was wrecking stuff, including things that take hours of playing.

I've never really had any really bad experience with anyone in my town.
The worst that ever happened to me was letting someone in and they ran around everywhere
without my permission. I ended up flicking the wifi switch because he was talking to every
one of my villagers without asking me. Luckily nothing was stolen.

I do think it is kind of inconsiderate to run all over the place in a persona town, But I don't think there should be a problem with them talking to your villagers, could that make something bad happen?

 

[Beardo]

Haven't had any bad experiences thankfully.

I've had some really good ones though

 

[Mariah]

In Wild World, my town got bricked. I had the town for six years.

 

[Shimmer]

Luckily whenever I've had anyone in my town, it's for trading and whatnot. They're in my sight at ALL times and they ALWAYS keep contact with me. We drop the items or lead each other to the moving villager and then say thanks and goodbyes. I've never had someone run off randomly. They are super nice and attentive to what they're doing in my town.

Hopefully I will never have a bad experience.

When I was first playing, I used to just keep adding people to my DS for trades, and pretty fast I had a HUGE number of people on there. One time I was in the middle of a big trade, and someone just randomly showed up to my town, and started running around. I didn't know them, except from a quick trade I had done with them a few days earlier. I was so surprised and the fact that they just walked off into my town without a word, I had to cut the wifi, and ended up feeling so foolish with both parties.

The trade person was annoyed with me. The person that had shown up messaged me on the forum and said I was mean, because they had been used to just showing up to people's towns in previous games. I guess some people consider an open gate an invitation. Anyway, I felt really crappy about the whole thing, and from then on, I learned to just delete people I didn't know from my DS, so they wouldn't feel "invited" every time I opened my gates.

some jerk stole my flipping gold roses!!! luckily i noticed and flipped the power off, but it made me so mad

 

[Alice]

I was waiting to pay someone and they were taking a particularly long time. I fell asleep. Woke up to my town destroyed. Half the flowers I took the time to lay out for my paths were gone. They dug about 5000 holes into my ground and dumped a bunch of reorderables all over thew place.

In WW, my town was ruined twice. I was seeded once, and a rock was placed in front of my door the other time.

 

[LostNoob]

Due to my slow internet, I very rarely go online in Animal Crossing, save from a few times on ACtrade on reddit, but I was going to there towns.
So I mostly play local with friends, one time in WW a friend got hold of a golden axe, and celebrated by cutting a bunch of trees down... jerk...
So yeah, that's all.

Reading this makes me nervous about how well my towns going to last when I finally get better internet and open the floodgates lol.

 

[Rodeo]

Well, in my cycling town, someone adopted a villager off me and didn't even bother to say thank you or leave me feedback. Better yet, it was a pretty popular villager and the next day, they tried auctioning and trading the villager off even though I asked them not to.

Ya I don't understand why people have a problem with that either. I don't care if someone talks to my villagers. The worst that happens is the villager keeps mentioning them in the future. But they do that with anyone who talks to them in a dream too, so can't control that.

 

[Oblivia]

I haven't had anything too horrendous happen, luckily enough. I did have someone steal a couple of StreetPass items that I had lying in front of the train station, but I suppose that's pretty minimal in the grand scope of crappy things someone could do while visiting my town.

I've also had a few people adopt villagers from me (free of charge) who never bothered to say thank you, but that's bound to happen on occasion when you cycle.

 

[Camillion]

Chickensmoothie is great, I've never had problems. As far as TBT I've never really had visitors yet, so we'll see...
