More Dear Toon...

[Granjell]

Dear toons who are SF's and go in a mint or whatever with randoms - please do not limit yourself to secret chat. Maybe it's just me, but it's very hard to communicate team-wise with two toons who are barking and growling every second of every battle. When another toon says "I can't understand you" or "Use the Speedchat" we are just trying to communicate as best we can so that every one of us can have a good time in Toontown.

And - I don't understand why, when I said "I can't understand you" you replied "No Thank You." I don't care if you're having a private conversation, but just try to be polite and every now and then throw out a speedchat phrase to encourage us randoms trying to get through the mint with you. As it was, I was afraid you'd be some of those rude toons who run ahead and battle the supervisor or foreman, leaving the rest behind.

Am I thin-skinned here, or what?

[Stubby]

:popcorn:No, you are not thin skinned!! I was playing my dog, fancy, in the factory. Two were talking to each other and then me and another random. When we got to the warehouse portion you very politely just skipped thru the bots and let the two of us run up to fight the 4 cogs alone. One of you did eventually come back while one just looked on, blue dog. The blue dog never even lined up with us again and on the last silo you stood there and watched while I struggled after the others went sad. Eventually, I did too. Thanks a bunch.:gun:

Then, the same night, I was in a building with three randoms one of which a blue mouse. The you barely ever helped and as we battled wave after wave of cogs coming off the elevator on the top floor, you just stood there and paid no attention. I was the only one with tu, so guess what, I was the one that went sad.:fight:

[Holocog]

Ive had the same problem.... Its seems those toons who went with us into a mint were more interested in chatting than the mint. All the way through bark bark squeakity squeak quack qauck NONSTOP they were 3 sfs and I was by myself. I dont ususlly say Use the speedchat because i chat alot too but enough is enough. We even use the sppedchat when we need people to understand, maybe you should've gotten the conversation over with and talked LATER!:gun:

[Granjell]

Dear Toon Cat with the initals C S - thank you for my first OMG moment of the day when you joined my battle with two number crunchers in Cashbot HQ this morning. "Let's use Toonup" you said and I happily obliged because you only had one laff point. Little did I know that, not only were you not going to return the favor, you were going to bail on your next turn.... Thanks a Million! Happy to be of Service!!

You may be sorry to know that I survived the battle with 3 laff myself, and will now hunt you down and stink you unmercifully at every opportunity I find. And I encourage all my friends to do so as well.

I dont mind as long as they use speedchat if they have special maneuvers planned and respond to my "Which way?" when we come to the 11s.

Or didnt. I hate the mint and dont go with randoms anymore. At most I have reduced myself to doing it with one or two friends in the coin unless there's a special circumstance.

[Holocog]

Dear 130 laff dog whos name escapes me, IT CONFUSES ME HOW YOU ALT F4ED OUT OF A CJ BECAUASE YOU NEEDED TO DRINK TEA, AKA DINNER. MY SF PROBABLY DIDNT X YOU BUT I PROBABLY WOULD!:rant2::rant2::rant2:

[Pinky Pepperpow]

i dont' really mind the chatting until it interfere's with me seeing the gags played. When I'm in a batle with 2 other sf's and a random I intentionally try to keep the chatting to a min. I'm a motor mouth so sometimes I forget and tlk a little too much (SOWWY!).

I also say to the random: SORRY! > USE THE SPEEDCHAT! > SORRY! > I'M HELPING A FRIEND! My intention is to let them know i'm only chatting to discuss the game and not to be rude or interrupt the playing. also don't want them to think I'm talking behind their backs.

I think it just plain old good ettiquitte to be polite to randoms and do unto them as you would have done to yourself...KWIM?

[Little Sadie]

I don't mind SF chat at all, even when I am the only random. Probably because my friends and I tend to talk a lot while playing the game. I was in a building with 2 sfs yesterday and a random came along. Well every time we talked we got the same old Use the Speedchat. Hello! We were talking and having fun. We weren't bothering him. He saw we were talking before we went into the building. I can see if it was a surprise that we didn't know each other but he saw us all talking while waiting for another friend. No matter how much we talk we still use speedchat too throughout the time we are with randoms so they feel included. I guess it just doesn't bother me so chat away while anyone is with me. LOL!

[susan4633]

dear ROYAL purple pig....
thanks so much for stinking me as we headed for the end of the da... it was so thoughtful of you to thank me for solving puzzles and wasting my train..when one of you triggered the skels....that had to be one of the worst da's i've ever been in... dropping a piano on a lured skel.. man there was so much bad about that run...i'm speechless...

[Fangs McWolf]

Thank you so much for making it near impossible to friend your tail so that I could gift you some stuff. Next time that someone tells you to stay, wait here, trust me, me too and other things, take the hint!

Sheesh.

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

I have to agree with Fangs with this one. I learned the hard way.

But then again I saw the light and it was glowing from the stratics website.

[toontownhappy]

Dear Yellow Cat,

Generally, when you have maxed sound and go into a bullion mint, it is a good idea to BRING sound gags of a higher level than aoogah, and only 2 aoogahs at that. Additionally, might I recommend using gags other than pixie dust, hypnogoggles, seltzer bottles, and fruit pies? It is hardly conducive to finishing the mint with everyone smiling when you have brought maxed gags (save for sound) and use nothing damaging above a level 4. I realize it is possible that you were on a dare of some sort, but if that were the case, you could at least SAY something!

Irritatedly yours,
Thunderhead

[SSniffleslam]

Dear Toon,

Please don't go into the bullion mint saying, "I only have a few minutes" right from the get go. If you only have a few minutes, do something else!!!

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

DEAR MR HOLLYWOOD, ROBBER BARON, Etc.

Please DON'T get on the elevator in ANY BOSS battle with a short crew just to BUG out because you dont like the prize or the toon your fighting besides. THere are those of us that would like to become higher suits such as yourself. And some of us will remember that we were once low suited cogs that just wanted to win. If you dont like the card go into battle and waste it. At least finishing the battle will get you a higher level suit. If not it could benifit someone who will battle with you again in a mint or such. And that someone might be resentful and forget you need a toon up. You never know. Someone might be writing names down just for such reasons.

LIKE I SAID REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!:cursing:

[Elga]

Just pretend you don't know me while I vent this ****!

OMG I just spent the last 35 minutes, heck it was almost 40 minutes after the CEO trying to get into a simple 3 Hole golf course. I searched almost every green district to finally find some people in Summit and Nuttywood. WTF are you ****ing toons doing there? You are like 1 laff out of 15 laff points and you think you need to go ****ing golf?! When I finally did find some ok people to go with, you had the 25 laff toon who had to make the shuffle process! I finally gave up after being fed up with the noob ****! I'm sick of it! Get the **** outta there! WHY WOULD YOU GO WITH 15 laff and crap gags? WHY? You actually think you're going to live. Even if you had someone with toonup, it would take you over an hour to get through that! HUH? WHY WOULD YOU PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THAT? Then their is me the simple dude who just needs a nice easy golf course with some sane people who just want the same. I understand these are probably kids who are in it for the "ZOMG11! I neez tu gulf cuz itss soo much funn1!1" factor, but gosh darnit! Every district, except River, couldn't get there, had these toons. Go play with your Malibu Stacy Doll and enjoy your childhood!! :cursing: I'm sorry for the censorship, but you should hear me in RL.

Rough day ehh?

[Elga]

It was going awesome until that point. I've since calmed down..still irritates me, but I've moved on with my life! :blushing:

[Flippers]

hey i'm always good for that - a blue district - twosies - 15 min - i think you come out ahead right?

[SSniffleslam]

Haha...I love it...Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh at your venting...It's good to know I'm not the only one who feels that way sometimes. I gave up this afternoon and just did buildings to get my options (but I only needed 200 or so...) Hey, on a good note, I think I've made you about a dollar so far!!!:danceb:

[Sally Bumblefoot]

Yeah Elga, I feel your pain. We were totally rained out camping night before last and my husband went to dry the bedding and clothes and I took the kids to McDonald's (it was still pouring outside). I was there for 1 1/2 hours and thought I could at least get 2 suit parts while I was waiting. I tried multiple districts and after wasting 1 1/2 hours, I came out with ZERO suit parts!!! (and I tried River too, how do these toons even get into river???) There was the 15 laff people, the 45 laff people who had no gags, and the occaisional 100 plus toon just trying to golf!!! By the time I left I was so frustrated I decided that I don't care if Precious ever gets her suit parts!!! I am over that now but man!!! I really cant wait for school to start!! If anyone can help me just get even one or 2 parts I will be soooo thankful!!!

I would be more than happy to help you because I know how frustrating it can be. PM me a code and we'll go from there.

[Flippers]

Hey stupid black cat...

I dont care if you have a pun name or that your laff is over 120.

To carry maxed trap and not use it on the 12 holly and bring out a cloud is inviting an attack, especially when you carried the most gags on our side. To not listen to the small toon, who know their limitations, and mock them openly for asking to do sound more than goes against the CCG guidelines. You think I'm new? You're an idiot who thinks laff matters over experience. Maybe you shouldn't think like a robot and stop stinking toons who know what they're doing in hitting more than one cog and *gasp* not the right one. Maybe you should steer clear of my toons when I show up for a run from now on too... my downtime is too valuable for robotics. I'm in it to play and have a good time and win, not to help you get your lure back to "0 to go"

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

Dear TOON,

This is for the Toon that decided that jumping onto an elevator with 3 other 100+ laff toons in the bullion was a GREAT IDEA until he found out the one of us is without sound. That is discrimination. If you can not complete a Factory, Mint, DA, or Golf Course without sound then you should not make EVERYONE ELSE suffer your lack of abilites. You made 3 toons work twice as hard to complete that ullion becuase you PUSHED past aomeone else that might have been able to handle the minor soundless issue. Please take you SOUND ONLY FOG HORN AND BLOW YOURSELF!

[Flippers]

Look -- kid (yes, you're showing your age by your actions)...

If I or any other toon is already at the back left tread, respect their position and go somewhere else. There are a gajillion other spots where you can be useful and contribute to the team. That's what us grown ups do you know.

As it is, when you see someone there - ESPECIALLY a lower laughed toon - don't shove them around or into the VP. Don't incite the VP's attention to throw gears in that location and do NOT prevent them from throwing the pie in. As it is I threw the first stun just as you arrived and started pushing me. You were entirely oblivious to anything but that spot, regardless of whether someone competent was manning it.

And you couldn't be very good if I went to the other end and threw from a distance and stunned him at the front half of the time. The other half were by others. This is the second time you have done this in a Sunday run, which amazes me because by now you must realize that you can't escape the VP's gears from either side AND throwing from the back while he's stunned has no effect.

But you might be a YOUNG kid and not comprehend anything but "I wanna" and don't see any of the other toons as anything other than NPCs. Someone that young should not be left unattended at a computer with an active Internet connection, but that's just my opinion.

So power to you kid. You have achieved full fledged Snertdom, and you picked a bad time to get on my case.

Yes, that was extremely rude.

I didn't think it made us work twice as hard though. Just more of a challenge than usual. You guys were so much fun, that the dog's leaving might actually have been good. LOL! :p

[Elga]

Dear Toon,

Thanks for the toonup, but we missed out on invasion. You were mad too, so it's ok. I'll be at the DA again tonight due to this hiccup, maybe we'll see you there!
:p

With Kisses and Hugs,
Elga BcBurp

[ZippyW]

Dear Toon: Please stop with the direction giving. I am not going to follow you just because YOU tell me to. You may need a bunch of merits in the factory, but that doesn't mean I stink because I only need a few hundred and was willing to do it by myself when you saw my laff average and got on with me, so you figured I'd want to hit every nook and cranny. Also, I don't need to be told what to throw on every gag. You run in wanting to work up your gag track, but I have no intention of going along with every direct order you give out, no matter how many laffs you have, low or high. I've gotten where I'm at in the game without anyone holding my hand, thank you very much. I think if you have a special agenda in mind, you should get hold of some of your friends or TFs and go with them; otherwise, don't have expectations for what others are going to do.

[Electroflap]

Dear 16-18 laff toon,
Please stop running around places like The Brrgh and Donalds Dreamland and then run from every fight you get into.. I am tired of fighting your battles for you. If you can't stand the heat, Stay OUT of the kitchen!!

This is one reason I miss the tighter regulations on NON MEMBERS.

Or not if we're lucky. Lemme see when CCG has a CJ and try to get in on it before you come on. Hammy needs that key by New Years! Or does he?

I should add that I would be in an earlier one but without XD I am without NR

[Beachmom321]

Dear Tri colored green headed mouse (54 laff) my friends and I didn't flintch and leave you out of our VPing fun last night, yet we all wish we had. Great you want to build your suit ... Throwing a single gag wouldn't have killed you and when being asked to "help!" saying "that's funny" is not calming to anyone at all, you are lucky my friends are kind hearted cause you wouldn't have made it through even round one of cog battle it was great to see you passed up on skill points at the end & thank you Professor Pete (SOS) for showing up your one cool dude! HEHE! I feel better now!

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

Dear toon,

This is a photo of how you make me feel when I lure a level 12 cog and your 105 laff buddy decides to use a seltzer bottle so your 45 laff self can drop an anvil on the LVL 12 Robber Barron.

Thanks for the memories.

[Mountain Man]

Dear cream cat and coral bear who are obviously SFs,

What in the world was the deal? We go into a building, we're kicking cog butt left and right, when the cogs come in multiples on the higher floor, we start sounding, but on the last floor, we're facing a 9 and a 10. Bluebeary and I pulled cakes on each, with the expectation that you'd assist. Instead, you pull a pair of fogs and blow away one of the cogs. Now, normally I'd attribute this to bad timing and it wasn't intentional, and just laugh it off. All thoughts of that were tossed out the window when both of you offered 'Ha Ha!'

You know, your lives must lack serious meaning if you find enjoyment out of trying to give others a hard time.

Sincerely,
Mountainbeary and Bluebeary McBurp

[toontownhappy]

Dear toons,
I'm sorry, I'm not about to spend an hour in a bullion mint just so you can train drop and squirt. We spent 8 minutes-EIGHT!-on the FIRST set of cogs. An invasion came and went while we battled the same four cogs. And then, after we finally finished, I and the only other non-gag-training toon in with us, a horse, both said "Let's use sound!" Both of you gag trainers had brought maxed sound. And both of you waited until we had chosen 2 fog horns before using a fire hose and a safe. What a waste of time. And what really puzzles me is that YOU HAD MAXED GAGS- AND YOUR LEVEL 7s.
Mints are not the places to train your gags in any circumstances, but training with maxed gags? You must be very odd toons.
And saying "Let's use sound!" as I'm TPing out is just not cool.
Irritatedly yours,
Thunderhead

[Flippers]

Now you know why I like random mints so much.

Maxed sound is every dolt's meal ticket into the Bullion. Gotta go holistic: what other gags do they have loaded, what is their body language... lots of factors when calculated allow you to smell trouble a mile away.

Well, both of them brought perfectly "normal" gags; I looked, and there wasn't a squirt gun or an anvil (or similar) between the pair of them.
As for body language, no one else was even AT the bullion mint (miracle of miracles, being in NR) and the gag trainers and the horse just jumped right on. I followed because I still get shuffled, even at 92 laff, and I had decided that they were okay to go with. Silly me.
Based on this, was there any other way to tell that they would be trouble? I'd love to know if there is a way to spot such toons, to avoid wasting time and effort in the future. Or maybe I'll just do all my mints with Stratics :D

[Flippers]

Or maybe I'll just do all my mints with Stratics :D

I dont have that luxury unfortunately.


A suspicious toon will behave "itchy" and hop around or be over enthusiastic. Mature people behind toons tend to be a lot calmer. Not always so, but their movements aren't usually pointless and random, and doing maneuvers for the sake of doing them.

[Granjell]

Dear Big-headed Blue Dog (or should I say Fat-headed!) I did you guys a favor dragging through the dang factory and when we got to the top of the silo I told you I need more merits. I will NEVER step on the button for randoms ever again because you and your idiot friends went and defeated the supervisor before I got there. You have ruined my attitude toward randoms (and you made me use the You Stink! phrase more in one day than I have the whole time I have been on toontown) Laughing and saying I don't care just added insult to injury. I am simply fuirious!!!!!! I reported all three of you for rude and mean behaviour, so I hope you get what's coming to you. Burn in the lava pits of the bullion mint forever!!!!

To all my stratics friends - sorry about that, normal anger levels should resume shortly.

[Little Sadie]

Sorry to hear it Granny! I hate when that happens. I had it happen once a long time ago too. What a pain!

[soupandquackers]

I dont step on the switches with my uber because they usually try to ditch me when i was the one that they were following the whole time!

[Sally Bumblefoot]

Hey Marge, that is the exact same experience that gave me a hatred of randoms.....esp in the factory. I agree with you in that I will NEVER EVER step on that switch. I just wont do it. But I make sure that I stay in the silo area with the toon so they dont get nervous. It is unfortunate that there are people who are so unhappy that they have to make others miserable. I just dont get it. Im also glad you reported them!! I wish they gave you the results of your report!!

[Flippers]

Dear stupid cowardly duck,

Dont offer to come on a revenge run if you're game to kill off the ubers so you can finish a skel round and TP out.

Don't ask ubers for a toonup in your 70s laff. You look even dumber. (she stopped tooning us at 70 and made the sad face, expecting us to doodle her while her lure missed)

http://www.toontowncentral.com/gallery/data/717/medium/grannymcnoob.jpg

Didnt anyone ever tell you it's not common for anyone to start with an uber as their first toon? No. We're all big toons and usually have maxed suits.

Last but not least, stupid cowardly duck, dont ditch the little toons with barely any laff. If you cant fight the vp what are you doing there with a holly suit? If you have to run to mommy then dont waste our time. We're there to fight the good fight, and trust you to be there for it too.

[soupandquackers]

That was a pretty bad revenge run, we are gonna need a revenge run for the revenge run. We gave the vp a run for is money, it was pretty close to a victory. That was pretty cowardly for her to run away i mean level 7's aren't hard to get back. Plus she was level 50 so she had nothing to lose. Maybe some other time:stretcher:

Hah! She could have kept her level 70. If we werent tired at so late a time, we probably could have kicked his butt. We almost had him. I would have liked to get him, and one day we ubers will be better prepared and start with full laff.

Anyway I sent a PM to an ambassador with the incriminating screenie. (yes, her name has been altered to protect the cowardly).

[ZippyW]

Dear Toons who ran into the factory with me today: I needed a few hundred merits, and I get on with one random, no toonup, laffs in the 50's, which was no problem because I had planned to do the factory by myself anyway. At the last minute, 2 more randoms ran in. I get off, say no thank you, shuffling goes on, and finally, since I was planning to do it by myself anyway, I give up and you go along. I end up with 3 randoms with no toon ups and their laffs were even lower than the first one. I thought "oh great." You two toons who ran in late, never threw a single gag the ENTIRE WAY, saving them for the final battle I guess. I kept the first one going with occasional toon ups, but you two I let struggle on the final level, with only their doodles for hope. No toon up? Then see what it's like to go through the factory with no one to give you a hand while you throw the gags and set yourself up to be hit the most. Not going to throw gags? Good luck. You both ended up examining your pedicures when we got to the final round, while the first toon and I danced. NEVER AGAIN!!!

[liod23]

hey i have lots of tf so if i botherd you sorry

[toontownhappy]

Dear all toons,
I just went sad. Twice. In twenty minutes. Both in VPs.
Thank you very much.
I am speechless.
-Thunderhead
Edit: And to the small blue duck in my CFO, here's a list of what went right.
...
And here's a list of what went wrong:
EVERYTHING
Which includes:
Sounding on my lure-TWICE
Sounding when you KNEW I was out of fogs, one of the other toons was soundless, and two of the cogs were level 12s. And so it was a fog and an elephant horn on two level 12s because the soundless and I waited for you two to pull back. Silly us.
And then, during the crane round, to NOT disable the goons near me is just dumb.
I am shocked at your behavior.
Then you merely stood by and watched during the crane round. I had to run back and forth from crane to crane. No one was gooning or craning. I had to try to get him dizzy, then leave that crane, dodge the swarm of red goons, disable one, and get to another crane to hit the CFO with the goon before he got un-dizzy.
You should be glad we got a max TU out of it. Otherwise I'd be REALLY mad.
Another edit: DO NOT USE MARBLES WITH NO BACKUP GAGS ON LEVEL 11s IN A BOSS FIGHT WITH OTHERS. EVER!!!!! and don't you DARE say "Sorry!" and then try to use them...AGAIN!
Yet another edit, sorry folks, things keep happening: DO NOT USE A TRUMPET AGAINST HYPNOGOGGLES! I am NOT kidding! And do not CONTINUE to use trumpets! That is why you went SAD, red rabbit.

EVERYTHING


Hm, looks like someone had a bad day.

[princess kitty]

Dear Multi-colored duck with the anorexic name and 42 laff,

I would advise you that as a duck with 4 gag tracks, going into the mint with level 1 to level 4 drop gags only is not a good idea.

It is also not quite proper, I think, to get mad at the two toons who lured and used TNT on a set of level 11 cogs. We understand that you want to use your level 4 drop to help us. We appreciate your intention to do so. Just as I'm sure you appreciate that we took time and effort to show you how to move around the mint.

It is quite unfortunate that you had to rush back to the playground while we were facing the supervisor. Especially because you failed to witness the ending of an invasion we needed.

May you have luck in your endeavors. May your future companions likewise be blessed with patience, fortitude and much more luck as they battle with you.

We hope to never have the misfortune of running with you agin.

Electroflap and Little Daffodil

[ZippyW]

I thought you couldn't get into a mint with less than 60 or whatever laffs? I'm not sure about that level, but I seem to remember someone once telling me they were stopped at the door by not having enough laffs?

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

I thought you couldn't get into a mint with less than 60 or whatever laffs? I'm not sure about that level, but I seem to remember someone once telling me they were stopped at the door by not having enough laffs?

I was probably a coin. There is no minimum laff for a coin mint.

[Little Sadie]

There is no laff limit in the coin mint.

[Flippers]

Dear bad dog,

Week two and you tried to take out LOM. You stank me during the halftime by whisper (screenshot saved) and you stank us in the Skel round.

You thought using sound would take me out? (Screenshot saved) Not if we work sound with you, eh? You only left a couple of high toons short of laugh, but they were skilled enough to ease through the pie round.

And guess who got the most hits into the door this run to help win your VP promotion? Yeah. You're welcome.

To coin your own use of the phrase (screenshot saved), maybe you shouldn't bother US if you don't like running with us. What's the point of doing so if you don't like us? You're obviously reading the boards here but want nothing to do with us.

If you want an easy meal ticket to Hollywood then maybe you should look into CCG aka The Cold Caller's Guild. They have runs several times a day and a beanfest on Wednesdays. The difference is those big Hollies won't bail on you there.

Stratics does not have a no-shuffle policy OR a strict LLKR strategy, so we won't fall for the sound the uber dead routine here. Stink enough regulars and you won't be on a load with anyone.

[ZippyW]

Dear bad dog,

Stratics does not have a no-shuffle policy OR a strict LLKR strategy, so we won't fall for the sound the uber dead routine here. Stink enough regulars and you won't be on a load with anyone.

What is a "LLKR strategy?" And I'm curious about the no-shuffle policy (or lack thereof) and what you guys do about people who show up to go on Stratics runs who get a reputation for being a pain. I went on a CCG run once and there was one toon who caused trouble from beginning to end. It was pretty much when I decided to stop running with organized groups because you aren't supposed to shuffle off and I knew I didn't want to go with that toon anymore.

[princess kitty]

I was probably a coin. There is no minimum laff for a coin mint.

Joe and Terri are right.

It was a coin mint -- that seemed to take more time to finish than a bullion mint.

[SSniffleslam]

What is a "LLKR strategy?"

Lure Left Kill Right - one of the CCG mottos....don't know how much it's actually followed though because, out of the few runs I've done with them, it hasn't always been that way.

Well, we only shuffle to even things out. If someone shuffles simply to be with a friend, they hear it from me. ;)

We get very few troublemakers on our runs. The Trolley phrase moves us to the backup district if we recognize a toon who has caused us problems in the past.

Every CCG run I've attended has had one of those toons. Every one. Not to mention bossy toons barking out orders the entire time. It's great for some people, but not for me.

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

DEAR BLUE DOG,

In the past 2 weeks you have showed up to several event's. At every one your jumping around more then the rabbits. You yell "Let's Go" and bounce on toons that are being social while waiting for the whole group to come.

The first Sunday run's you came to that I saw you tried to kill off toons in the VP. Then resumed bouncing around at the CFO. I did not hear how that battle went. Then you were chosen to go with the group I was in for the CJ. While we were in the elevator you jumped ship and left us short handed. Did you happpen to notice NOT ONE SINGLE TOON GOT OFF THE ELEVATOR WITH YOU? I can't speak for anyone else but I was annoyed with you. You almost mad a few of my friends go sad being stupid. I would rather Battle solo then have you in there with me.

Next you show up for the friday night SOS shopping. We had just enough toons to make our runs when you started AGAIN with the jumping around and "Lets Go!". I even whispered to you not to do that only to be ignored. So we decided to change districts. And somehow you found us. I am not sure if your friends with someone that was there or you just got lucky. So we changed districts one more time and immediately your there. I believe you are or were a friend of a member but they wouldnt admit it. We finally got to VP without you.

Then you show up again this past Sunday. I don't know if your the DOG flippers is talking about but this soulds like what you did the previous Sunday.

Do yourself a favor. Don't get on the elevator with me. I will go sad out of spite to take you with me. I can always get my lvl 7 gags back.

[Flippers]

Lure Left Kill Right - one of the CCG mottos....don't know how much it's actually followed though because, out of the few runs I've done with them, it hasn't always been that way.

It's not USUALLY followed beyond the VP runs unless there's a soundless toon in the group. Also when there are all larger toons on the same side in the VP anything can go.

The LLKR method is an assembly line technique to ensure everyone wins. If one cog is taken out on the right before lure wears off, the new left cog is the only one to attack if lure misses. Of course with the 15-laffers it's the end of the road regardless.

They have exceptions. For example, when someone uses the slideshow lure and a small toon is on their side, only hit the new cog on the left because the others will hold for 15 rounds.

Oh btw August the wabbit was very nice this week. Thanks Daddio!

[SSniffleslam]

I've seen CCG runs where the large toons act just as wacky as small randoms in River, which is why I don't go on them anymore. It's a craps shoot either way.

[Little Sadie]

That dog was getting on my nerves at the beanfest once again. Last week he kept whispering to me You Stink and Its too risky for you. I was on my 45 laff cat and only there for beans. This week I was on my 109 laff cat and this same dog starts whispering to me to be his friend. Please! Over and over. I told him No thanks. I think this it too risky for you, and please don't bother me. After that I got the sad emote a couple of times before he got the message.

[MissPoodledoodle]

Do yourself a favor. Don't get on the elevator with me. I will go sad out of spite to take you with me. I can always get my lvl 7 gags back.

DITTO!!! You, blue dog, are a PAIN!!!

[soupandquackers]

He started knocking me off the crates when i was on my cat and then stunk me out of nowhere. I put the "whats wrong" phrase and he just said you stink.

[Little Sadie]

He started knocking me off the crates when i was on my cat and then stunk me out of nowhere. I put the "whats wrong" phrase and he just said you stink.

So you are Black Night too? I saw him bothering you. How many toons do you have? You need to put them in your signature. I can't keep them straight. LOL!

[SSniffleslam]

Dear Toon,

Please don't tell me to "Save your powerful gags" when we're in a coin mint and I pull out a second fog since one of the toons with us doesn't have fog yet and is using Aoogah. First of all, there aren't enough battles in the Coin to really worry about saving Fogs, and second of all, I didn't want the little one to go sad since one fog, two ele's, and an aoogah won't take out the cogs in a mint. Good Grief!

[ZippyW]

I would guess CCG has a greater chance of a troublemaker because they are so large. The few runs I went on with them went fine, and I remember at one point I was 1 loss for 7 runs, before I stopped going, but if you have a toon that's a pain, I guess it's hard to get rid of them (like this dog you guys are talking about).

I tell you, there are few phrases that irritate me more than "Save your powerful gags" or "Follow me." Any time I hear those 2, I ignore whatever is said after that!! :gun:

[CooperColeman]

Dear big random tune with the good gags...

Please stop being so bossy. When you say, "I think you should choose lure"...um...there are three of us...who are you talking to? Since we can't SF chat, please don't get upset if two people choose lure. How 'bout working WITH us? It's not that serious if two people choose lure. I mean, everyone was on full laff and the lure worked. Get over it instead of saying "This isn't what I'm looking for."

[Flippers]

...but if you have a toon that's a pain, I guess it's hard to get rid of them (like this dog you guys are talking about).


Nah - school just didnt start for them yet. It's a real problem during summer break to expect a decent run in just about any CCG load. In fact, last year Smusher stopped all DA runs between June 15th and Labor Day.

And yes those types are a dime a dozen with CCG, but remember we're talking about 80ish toons on a good night, so any TTC board lurkers and randoms (since anywhere CCG meets the district turns green) can be mixed in.

[Sir Bumblenoodle]

Dear 57 laff toon in the VP,
Thanks for using your Trumpet on those 2 level 12's and 1 level 11 in the cog round AFTER I used my hypno goggles. When you were down to 7 laff you were crying that you needed a TU. No thanks, Im busy fighting cogs. I lured, you sounded AGAIN. Not only did you go back to the playground, but the 34 laff uber standing next to you did also (SAD BUG) Maybe, after you build up your gags some more you'll come back and we can try it again.

TIP: If you're going to grief by using sound on lured cogs and you are less than 60 laff with others on the side in there 120's, more than likely you will go first.

[Mountain Man]

Dear Goofy Speedway toons,

Let's get one thing straight. When I go to Goofy Speedway and race with toons, I'm not there to hand out wins. I'm not there to purposefully lose. I'm there to beat the pants off of you. Plain and simple. If you think I stink and that I'm being mean, and/or cheating because I'm beating you by a half lap easy, fine and dandy, but keep it to yourself. (BTW... taking time to Speedchat 'You stink' and 'That wasn't nice!' during a race... hmm. I wonder why you're lagging me by half a lap.) However, it's not 'cheating' that I have learned the tracks in detail and know all the tricks to shave seconds off my lap times. I don't hit walls if I can avoid it, I take curves with the shortest path possible, and above all, I don't swerve my cart all over the friggin' track and thus keep my speed up.

I've beat some toons who are considered the best in the racing business in some circles simply because I know how to race and race well. When it comes to things like speedboosts, I know when to hold 'em, and when to let them loose. I zipped past a particularly well known racing toon on the last lap simply because I knew where to fire off a speedboost that also allowed me to hit a track boost at full speed, sending me flying at Warp 9 down the track for the win. Cheating? Hardly. Good strategy? You betcha.

So lay off with the stinking.

Sincerely,
Captain Comet Thunderboom and the rest of my toons.

[Sir Bumblenoodle]

Dear 105 laff brown bear with barbie, aoogah, cream pie and fire hose outside of the buillion in NR;

I appreciate your concern for my 72 laffer with hypno, fog, birthday, and storm and how you thought it was too risky for me. You must not have noticed my 128 laff escort just in case there were people like you. I saw who you went with. Did you win? I did.

[Flippers]

He started knocking me off the crates when i was on my cat and then stunk me out of nowhere. I put the "whats wrong" phrase and he just said you stink.

You know, thinking about it now, you did smell a little funny that night.

[soupandquackers]

You know, thinking about it now, you did smell a little funny that night.

Lol, its from hanging around your uber. :P

[ATIV7220]

Oh btw August the wabbit was very nice this week. Thanks Daddio!

No problem!

It was actually kind of funny, my son went from hopping around and annoying some, to trying to get that blue dog to STOP annoying everyone. When he saw the blue dog knocking people off crates, he followed him around to knock HIM off the crates. I explained that he was probably making things worse, but I was laughing inside. :scholar:

If I'm Trish's bossbot bouncer, I think my son would like to be the beanfest bouncer. :twak:

[toontownhappy]

Dear cat in my oh-so-wonderful VP run tonight (you know who you are),
Oy vey. We'd have been better off if you had just stopped picking gags. Obviously you are relatively new, if you use solo unmaxed cream pies on level 12s after everyone else picked their gags, so lying about it does nothing.
It really didn't help that this was my third Clerk Will in two days. :rant2:
And to a certain small redheaded monkey...I DO NOT need a swirly. Thanks anyway.
Sigh!

[Wascally Wabbit]

Dear Yellow Duck in Sellbot Hq

Learn to look at peoples gags and not their suits before you make a decision. I realize im a 106 and still in Cold Caller but that does not justify my strength in the VP battle. I don't see why you kept hopping off after every other MH got on and there was no one else left in the room. Now you see why i waited until 1 to hop off. By now i wasted two minutes of your life. Actually, you did.;)

[Mountain Man]

Dear pink cat in Goofy Speedway,

Yeah, you'd better run like a bunny after cheating like that. 1 minute and 38 seconds on Airborne Acres? Yeah right. I saw your icon go crazy and then all of a sudden I was in second. I was all set to use the report button for the first time for that little stunt, but you made tracks, probably because you knew I would. You'd better hope and pray I don't run across you again, because you better believe I'll use it.

Sincerely,
Keapon Oinkin

[ZippyW]

Dear toons ready to go fight the VP. When I am standing on the steps, and a group of toons, say 5-6, are ready to go, please stop telling me "LET'S GO!!!!" I will GO when I'm ready to go, not when YOU tell me, and I will wait as long as I want, for whatever reason I am waiting, and no amount of you telling me "PLEASE" and "Let's GO!!!" is going to make me go any faster. I really DON'T CARE that you are in a hurry, anxious to go, or are wanting to get started. GO WITHOUT ME. And no, I don't want to be your friend either. :lame:

[Granjell]

Dear Clerk Will - Please - take the day off! It's Labor Day, give some other SOS cards a chance!

[Electroflap]

Dear 34 laff yellow bunny with red shirt, black shorts, and maxed throw on guest pass... Thanks for glitching and running around while not throwing a single gag on 4 cogs! You almost made me go sad.. When I whispered to you "That wasn't nice" and you whispered back "You stink!"... I want you to know that your rude behavior was reported!

Sincerely,
Stevetheblue and Sgt. Fluffykins

[Mountain Man]

Dear blue mouse,

When a couple toons say 'Sorry, I'm helping a friend.' when you board the factory elevator with them, then it's a pretty good indication they intend to go by themselves. Especially since we went to the side elevator for this very reason, and you teleported to Wascally while we headed there. In our case, we were going in with the specific purpose of not only getting Wascally's merits, but to work my traps in the process, something most toons don't want to do. Therefore our caution in taking randoms with us is understandable, and given your behavior after it became clear we weren't intending to board with you, I'm glad we didn't. 'Hiding' just out of range, with the intent of boarding just as we did, is childish, and gives an indication of just what you would have done inside. 'Don't be mean'? Speak for yourself. 'You need more laff points?' Please. I'm through Dreamland, and 7 more laff does not a better toon make. When the invasion started, we left not because of you, but because Wascally has all day to factory, and I could get more trap points in a building. Your ':-)' seemed to indicate you thought you won, but in fact you lost, because I snagged 200 points in that building we found. 'Have a nice day!'

Sincerely,
Simon McBoo and Mrs. Wascally Wabbit.

LOL yea i woulda done that too.(except for the fact i dont know him.this is not rubbing in ur face.i feel ur pain theres a toon i absolutely hate.:gun::gun::gun::gun::gun::gun::gun::gun:

[SSniffleslam]

Dear Toon,

While I realize the the Bossbot area is fairly new, and some of you won't know this, but it's not a hard thing to figure out! I used a train today on four level 12 version 2.0's and someone else used sound. This makes the skele's that show up have a blinking red health meter. THIS DOES NOT MEAN that they are about to die. There's a glitch in the system. So using two ele's and two aoogah's on these 12's is NOT going to kill them. It's NOT EVEN going to damage them much. Level 12's have 200HP each!!! I realize it's a glitch in the system, but after a couple of times, you should get the point. You were all above flunky suits save for one toon, so saying "Huh?" like you don't get it really confounds me. This glitch happens in the CGC's as well, so if you got your suit, you should have seen it before. GOOD GRIEF!

[craze49]

For v2.0 cogs does the extra damage carry on?

[soupandquackers]

Yes it does but its not enought to clear the whole other row out.

[craze49]

What if there's 3 wedding cakes on a row or 12v2.0s or 4 cakes on a 12v2.o? Will it destroy the whole thing?

[Trish]

I can't think of a strategy that would take out all four 12 V2.0s. However, if you end up with some very weak ones for a 2nd round, they can't hit you and you can bike horn them to death if you lure + creme pie + wedding cake + titanic. lol

[Little Sadie]

I know you can take out a v2 cog with 4 birthday cakes. You see the cog bend down twice quickly and that tells you that he is gone completely and won't come back as a skele. I would think using 3 wedding cakes would do the same.

[SSniffleslam]

Sorry, I was having a serious case of the grumpies yesterday...Yes, damage does carry on to the skele's of v2.0 cogs, but my organic train did 214 damage and his ele did 21...which means the new skele's needed to have 165HP taken away. A couple of ele's (I was out of Fog's or I would have used one) and aoogah's just aren't going to do that....UNLESS you do it three or four times. These toons (all three of them battling with me on our side) acted all shocked when the sound didn't kill the skele's. They were in cog suits ranging from Yesman to BC so I would think that they have seen it before....but maybe I'm just asking too much.

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

Duke,

I know for a fact that 2 operas and 2 fogs will completely take out a row of lvl 12 v2.0 cogs, As will 2 or more wedding cakes and 3 or more gysers, and 2 toon tanics will almost tkae them all but you need 1 small sound at the beginning of both sets.

I have dont all of this with Steve in a boss battle once and posted pic's.

[SSniffleslam]

Yes, the above will work on level 12 v2.0 cogs because level 12's have 200HP so if you're using anything that will do 400HP damage all together (with bonuses, etc...) it's going to take all v2.0's out including skele's.

[SSniffleslam]

Dear RED BEAR in the CJ,

You are rude, mean, and SOOOOOO childish for someone who has 125 laff points. Just because I used a b-day cake when you picked storm cloud on the very first two cogs when in NR and lagging like crazy, you don't have to act like a complete a** the whole rest of the round. I couldn't go back and change my choice. I'M SOO SORRY I killed that level 8 and you didn't get your 12 exp points or whatever!!! Normally I would apologize for such a gag mixup but you started stinking me from that moment on so I didn't say a word to you. Since it is the middle of the day, I assume that you're an adult, which makes it even more PATHETIC. Then someone else made the same type of accidental gag mixup, which I guess ticked you off even more, so you then decided not to help us at all, and instead started using aoogah's on level 12's. You're LUCKY someone had sympathy on you and tooned you up because I sure wasn't....Well, we all survived, including you, but I have your name, and I will NEVER EVER EVER go into any type of battle with you. EVER.

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

Dear Group of 6 other toons that were SOOOOO NICE and left me ALONE in the CFO during the cog round. I sure do appreciate your leaving me high and dry to waste 4 sos cards, a unite, all my level 7 gags and still get sad. There is nothing better then you bunch of chicken S&%* babies running scared cause there was only 7 toons on the elevator. Your a bunch of CATS(change and insret other word here).

[Flippers]

Dear a-hole,

I like to avoid practicing guilt-by-association since your spouse has been a griefer for some time to several people while acting like a prima donna around TTC bigshots. But I'll reconsider my stance after this incident.

I made a point to hang around with ubers after CCG's scheduled run to help in a revenge. It's my way of giving back to toons who have helped me in the past with mine. After about 20 minutes you showed up as the 8th to join us.

In the skel round we were sided with the 40 and 15 laffer dogs and three 12s came out among the four cogs. The last thing we needed was a nonorganic train, but that's what you pulled without a word, knowing three cogs would be left and potentially send the two ubers we were there to help to the playground.

The other two couldnt sound - the 40 laffer had TU instead - and neither pulled a gag on one of the 12s to finish them off. I think they assumed you had enough. But as your toon animated to lay down the tracks, you finally said "I haven't found it yet." We were lucky that the 40 laffer made it through, but you saw to it the 15 laffer went. Then you said "No problem." I thought that was a nerve after having set this up and waited. We would have been better off with three on our side than someone like you as a fourth.

The surprise was looking up the 15 laffer on the CCG roster to PM them my apologies. Seems we sent either you or your spouse to the playground, didn't we?

How low can adults stoop for a sick joke and take advantage of well-meaning people? Maybe this is acceptable in your culture, but not mine. I truly pity you.

[Cherri Bear]

Dear pink cat in Goofy Speedway,

Yeah, you'd better run like a bunny after cheating like that. 1 minute and 38 seconds on Airborne Acres? Yeah right. I saw your icon go crazy and then all of a sudden I was in second. I was all set to use the report button for the first time for that little stunt, but you made tracks, probably because you knew I would. You'd better hope and pray I don't run across you again, because you better believe I'll use it.

Hi Mountain Man!

This same thing just happened to me about a half hour ago. This purple dog ..118 laff...finished airborne acres in 1 1/2 minutes.

His icon also went "crazy" , stopped on the track right after the start...then all of a sudden jumped from 4th place to 1st and the rest of us finished the race in the normal 3.40 minutes or so.

I went to the scoreboard things and he was standing there. I did not say anything. On the scoreboard, it showed he finished TWO races like that today. Both races were 3 plus minute ones.

He had to have been doing some sort of cheat. This is the first time I have heard of it..but, I am fairly new to racing.

[Mountain Man]

When their icon starts going crazy like that, it typically means they've used a glitch to get into the gray/green and bypass most of the track for impossible track times. I hate it to death, and if someone else does it to me, I'm going to be on the hunt for them with my mouse on that report button.

[toontownhappy]

That glitch happened to me once. I wasn't doing it intentionally. Another kart shoved me and suddenly I was floating in gray space. No idea, to this day, what exactly happened. Glad it was before report buttons, though. LOL

[ZippyW]

What is the deal with toons in the factory lately? Seems I've run into a rash of toons with bad attitudes. TWICE this week, I've had some 50-something laffers start telling me to follow them or to use this or that gag, the fight is ON. One trip, the toon insisted on using lure, in spite of the other toons using horns, with one of them insisting on using sound NO MATTER that the other toon wouldn't quit with the lure! One of them eventually went sad, to my relief, because I was getting annoyed with the whole silly situation. Then, on the upper level, we finished off the first set, I went ahead and stepped on the switch, and on the SECOND switch, that same toon refused to go step on it, and the stand-off was on, because I KNEW what was going to happen. Finally, I just went ahead and blew it off and discoed outta there, just to heck with it.

The second one got upset because I was there for the merits, and obviously they weren't. They kept saying "follow me," "this way," and "have you been here before?" LOL. Then, the toon stopped using any gags at all, waiting to run up when the very last cog was going down, which I guess was supposed to really get to us, but my friend and I really didn't care at all, but this toon ALSO wanted US to step on the switches at the top so they could do the final set alone.

Is it just me or do any of you run into this "step on the switch" fight? How do you handle it? If I step on the switch, I can't seem to make it out that second door without waiting for it to reopen.

[Granjell]

I used to go step on the switch without a second thought until I was robbed of the merits by some jerk of a toon. Now I use the "step on the switch" phrase and stand there waiting. They usually go do it if they see I'm not running off to the center silo. It's never turned into a stand-off for me. If the lower-laff toons don't have any maxed gags, I'll ususally step on it anyway, but if they're maxed, I wouldn't trust them.

[Trish]

Is it just me or do any of you run into this "step on the switch" fight? How do you handle it? If I step on the switch, I can't seem to make it out that second door without waiting for it to reopen.I have never been left out of the foreman fight. But because of all your posts, I have changed the way I do things. I will step on that 2nd switch, but ONLY if all the toons are still on the silo. If they run off, I will stand there and do nothing but say "This way". Either someone else will open it, or they will all return to the silo as I do. West silo door, I can USUALLY enter and push button and exit in one door opening. East silo I ALWAYS can, which is a blessing since East is the last switch.

[ZippyW]

That's the reason I'll step on the first switch, so I feel like I showed good intentions, and if someone else does it, I will wait for them. I think I've had a standoff once before this, but this twice in one week was eye opening. I could have finished it all by myself, of course, but I would never do that. I guess TT made it that way so that you have to stay until the end, but now I'm going to have another "rule" in my head, and its one more reason to be hesitant about going with randoms.

[Lollipop Zooblesnook]

Dear Toons,

Thank you for the best experience I've ever had in Toontown.

I was playing in Nutty River early this morning and successfully got thru my first CFO run. Thanks to the toons that were willing to take a lvl 1 Short Change along.

But here is where the warm fuzzies happened:

I went into the mint for more cogbucks with a 115 laff dog and 80ish cat and another lower laff cat that had clearly never been in the mint before. We fought one group of cogs and then immediate hit the room where you run across, go up stairs, jump to platforms, to spinning gear, to platforms etc... until you get to the upper deck where the barrels of goodies are... you know the one. (It gave me heart ache at first - I am not a great jumper) The small cat tried and tried and tried. No kidding we were in there for 20 minutes and she kept falling down and making the sad face, I knew just what she was feeling. Not one of the toons I was with told her to "hurry up!" (I actually wouldn't have faulted them for leaving at this point because we were in that room for a very long time) everyone waited patiently while encouraging her "Slow and steady wins the Race!" and other things while also going back to run it with her. I was so shocked, I have seen some poor attitudes in that particular room in the past and have been left behind many times when I was first trying to master it.

So thank you toons for remembering the spirit of the game. It warmed my little monkey heart. :hug:

~Andrea

(This was in Nutty River as it was the only district not blue at the time I was on - overall it's been very nice now that school has started and most toons seem to be focused and very task oriented - I'm able to get a ton done and have met some terrific toons in the process.)

[Flippers]

Is it just me or do any of you run into this "step on the switch" fight? How do you handle it? If I step on the switch, I can't seem to make it out that second door without waiting for it to reopen.

It's usually the opposite for me. The eastern silo is smaller in depth.

Anyway, I don't have a fight because once my lure throw and squirt are strong enough, I can work out variations of the factory and do them alone if friends aren't on, then full facs once the sound is maxed and/or I can carry more gags.

Toesies does the facs solo. I can watch TV while running them at my own pace. I wish I could do that with other HQ places.

[SSniffleslam]

Toesies does the facs solo. I can watch TV while running them at my own pace. I wish I could do that with other HQ places.

I do the same thing, and it would be so nice if it was that way in other HQ's, but we probably wouldn't get as many bux, notices, options....

[ZippyW]

Well, I've been chicken to do a factory alone, but I guess I should go ahead, since I'm maxed in everything, so if you can do it, I guess I should give it a try!! I waited a LONG time to do bldgs by myself too!

And to the post above about the NICE toons in the mint, I want to encourage everyone to do the same. I go out of my way when a toon has a hard time in that area, and also in the spot where you have to turn left, turn right, jumping to the next level of gears. I have even saved my "you take left, you take right" speed chats just for that reason! Not that they get what I'm saying every time. But the first times I went, I was also with very nice toons, who were very patient, and it took me forever to get through those areas too it seemed. I remember being so embarrassed!

[toontownhappy]

Dear toons currently in my VP:
This is a first. All three of you on my side are glitching the skelecog round. And I see another glitcher on the other side. Idiotic to do any time, but especially dumb to do with a 25 laff uber. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Furiously yours,
Thunderhead
PS: What would happen if you all got stuck? Where would that leave me, or the uber?
Edit: Well, you saw where it left the uber: He went sad.

[ZippyW]

Would someone please explain what happens when a toon is doing that glitching in the VP? Yesterday, when I was there, there was a toon doing that, and I tried to explain it to my daughter who was watching, but it's not exactly that they can't throw gags, including toon up, and they also can GET tooned up. I'm not sure what they are doing when they are on the other side. I know I find it VERY irritating and I really don't get the purpose of it.

[NikiKing]

It is very irritating but were not allowed to discuss the how's on this forum. As to the why well I guess just to be irritating! *sigh*

[ZippyW]

In no way am I asking how. I have absolutely no interest in HOW. I asked what the effect is on a toon who is doing it and the effect on the other toons. Can they throw gags on BOTH sides? And if they do, are they getting hit by cogs on both sides? I'm too busy paying attention to what the 3 of us who are playing by the rules are doing to keep track of those idiots who are jumping around.

[Trish]

If there is an open spot on the other side, then can get "stuck" there too. I don't know what they see because I've never done it, but they CAN throw gags from both sides if this happens, and they WILL get hit by both sides of cogs. And from my experience (this may have changed too, I haven't had the displeasure in a long time), if more than one toon is doing the glitch, at least one of them will get permanently stuck, unable to pick gags, til the skel round is over.

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

I recently had the pleausre to enjoy the company of 2 toons that decided to glitch suring the skele round. As soon as it started I said stop it and they said no. So I commenced to making it the hardest VP ever. I played VP NOOB as much as possible and when they cried for a TU I said NO. The only person I helped what the other toon that was not glitching.

Neither of them got stuck. And after a few major laff point losses 1 quit running around.

Glitching only serves the purpose of irritating the ADULTS in the battle. It's usually some kid that just found the glitch and can't wait to use it.

I dont think glitching is just to annoy adults, because it gets to me too. Yes, it is most likely a kid but they are thinking they are funny but they dont realize it.

[Pinky Pepperpow]

i like it when I'm in VP and have a "glitcher" when I'm in a bad mood cuz it gives me a reason to let out my frustrations and use some of those nasty comments they give us in the phrases....LMAO...just kidding. it's rude, annoying and has no purpose and i will use that report button in a NY minute when I see a kid doing it especially if they don't stop when asked. I know the report button doesn't do anything, but one of these days Disney might get a hair up their butt and do something with all these reports. They certainly didn't follow up when I reported someone for being predatory & lude. Oh well, getting way off topic. Sowwy!

Later,

[sad_faerie]

Dear Red Mouse,

I am so terribly sorry we annoyed you in that mint. How dare we wait while our friend made her way through the gear tower? What were we thinking to let you go into that last battle by yourself?

Oh right. We were thinking we couldn't get there fast enough, because you ran ahead alone and engaged the Supervisor while we waited for another toon.

Maybe I'm not sorry after all. :twak:

[CooperColeman]

Dear three toons who just ran the factory with me:

None of you were above 60 laff, so why would you try to run ahead of me and battle the cogs by yourself? Now, as most of you here on Stratics who have run factories with me know, I only know one way through the factory, and it is a short route. So...when the three of you disappeared, I had no choice but to go the route I know and say "Meet me in the East Silo". I waited and waited and waited, only to see two of you battling on the West side. OK...I can battle these three cogs by myself...but don't stink me when I kill the Mingler, because you need to recover a key. And then, you have the NERVE to be angry with me because your laff is down to 8? Had you waited for me, that never would have happened. I would have been happy to tune you up. Next time, be kind and wait for the old toon with the bad knee. And no, I'm not interested in being your friend.

[Steveo]

Dear Blue Mouse,

Thank you so much for deciding to bail on us halfway thru the mint. Just because I would not use lure so you can train your little trap you get mad and leave. Well just to let you know we did not need you anyway you were holding us up. Next time I see you standing by the mint doors I will not help you. Which I only have a few more runs before I am maxed so good luck with your suit.

[Flippers]

Next time, be kind and wait for the old toon with the bad knee. And no, I'm not interested in being your friend.

I love it when they stink me, then beg to be my friend. "I hate you but I love your gags"

[toontownhappy]

Dear All My Friends,

DON'T LET ME GO!
Please and thank you.

Ok Deb, sounds like you have a story to tell!!! LOL. Was trap involved?

[Steveo]

I bet that there was a few toons that kept saying LETS USE SOUND. Then they would only pull out a whistle or bugle. I dont know if they are kids that are doing this but I Hate it. When they start doing that and stinking me for not using sound or Tu then its your on fault. So dont expect me to Toon u up if you are being stupid. i have enough laugh to survive but you dont so good luck in your future vps.

Deb you know me I would rather get a group and try in a quiet place or what they hay do a SOLO.

[ZippyW]

Dear Toons: We are allowed 50 friends. By the time a toon gets up to the 80+ laff range (and maybe sooner), usually their friend list is full. WHY would a toon with that many and more laffs WANT to be friends with smaller toons as a general rule. Now, I have a few smaller toon friends, one being my own kid, but when I'm running through this or that neighborhood and get asked to be some random small toon's friend, I just give myself a good mental kick for not flipping that switch. I will get asked like 10 times during a play time to be friends with some smaller toon, and if you multiple that by how many days you play, can you imagine what the list would look like? Before you ask someone to be your friend, ask yourself "WHY would this big toon, who has been playing for a long time, want to be MY friend."

[toontownhappy]

Lol Sally B, thankfully there were no trap trainers. Just unmaxed pianos and permanently AFK toons- except, of course, for collecting the SOS card- and people waking up skelecogs and crying for a toonup when down by 3 laff points. And yes, Steveo, there was an occasional aoogah (better than bike horns, true, but not by itself on a row of lured 12s).
Just your standard, I'm-crazy-to-VP-with-randoms-and-this-is-what-I-get-for-it VP.
Yuck.
Also, I'm not sure if it's just me, but I dislike when the toons from the other side finish first, come over to my side, give advice on the battle WE'RE conducting, and then get mad when we don't follow their advice. You're not involved in this, buster, so lay off!
Hopefully my Dear Toons will be less frequent, as I intend NEVER to VP with randoms again.

[Sally Bumblefoot]

Hopefully my Dear Toons will be less frequent, as I intend NEVER to VP with randoms again.

Well, Deb, that may not be an issue for at least the near future. There is a rumor going around that Steve and I are totally insane and are seriously thinking of going for top toon of the month in VP!!! This will create massive opportunities for you to satisfy your addiction in a substantially random-free way........at least for the month of October!!! We will see how far we get!! We are already up to one!! LOL Steve said something about going for the record so we only have 129 or so to go. Piece of cake!!:thumbup1:

PS....feel free to use trap!!!!

[Crazy Fireball]

That ticks me off when people are that rude. If your going to constly talk then I'd wisper. If not, dont talk at all.. Im sorry this happened to you.

Oh yeah susan i thought it was 150!!!!! This will hopefully be a random free vps. My motto is if you got four toons then go for it. We had four toons yesterday and done really good. It beats the crazy shuffle at night in river. I think the four toons is sometimes much quicker than river any day unless you get a great bunch of toons. SO yes deb with the VP you are welcome to join us anytime. Just say the Magic Words. VP PLEASE!!!

[SSniffleslam]

I have a happy dear toon....Dear toons,

Thank you for allowing my little purple bunny in a bullion mint. She only has 71 laff (just enough to get in) and a lot of people wouldn't have bothered to check her gags and go with her. There were some shuffle issues trying to get her in, but finally! a nice group of randoms (and Kendra - but she didn't know it was me) let me go with them. The bunny is almost maxed in everything but TU and the mint went smoothly (minus a few lag issues...). It's good to know there's still some nice ones out there....

[Elga]

Sorry to all in the CEO tonight. My connection started acting up at around 8:30pm, but of course. Then I got on and then got booted again. I attempted to make it through, but yeah I lasted not even one cog. I got booted last week too. Hope you guys made it! Sowwy..:rant2:

[ZippyW]

I guess I'm naive, because I would never shuffle off someone just because they only had 75 laff points. I would check to see if they had their gags, but I wouldn't even care if they didn't have maxed gags. Now, going with THREE of them at one time may make me check to see if I was feeling lucky, but even that wouldn't stop me, so long as someone else also had TU! I figure if TT thinks 75 laffs is good enough, then I'm willing to go and give it a try. Is that weird?

[Flippers]

Dear Flippy clone at the CCG VP run:

I could just smell you were going to work your gags when I saw you in the pit, so I made a point to log out my uber Lucky Toesies and bring Kertruffle instead. I wasnt in the mood for death by gagworking, and from maxing an uber already I've learned going sad is 90% caused by other toons.

Sure enough, with an uber on our side in the cog round you underhit and under trapped cogs. You were so busy working on your gags you didn't notice we had a 34 laffer with us at all, did you? You even pulled a piano on the big Holly but didn't indicate to anyone with speedchat that it was not the full 170/187 ("I haven't found it yet"), so we TRUSTED you and the uber alone pulled hose instead of cloud. The piano was about 100 less in strength and we got hit. All I can say is thank goodness our uber was a big four-tracker. You would have killed a 15 right then and there.

Then in the Skel round you sand trapped a new 12 instead of one of the two red light ones. You compulsively worked little trap on that same big cog - or tried to - instead of cleaning up the red light ones, or - heaven forbid - using a strong gag to take something out. But what would be the point of that?

Did you think you were on the top floor of a 5 level bldg with your buddies? No, this was a CCG VP where we work together and don't selfishly practice bad gags. It's right there in the guidelines.

People accuse me of bossing about gags. This is one of those circumstances where I am moved to act: when there is a lowlaff toon and someone like you comes along who just busies themselves with their own agenda. When someone is responsible for causing lost laff, I will say "you did it! I think you should use toon-up" because in my mind you caused the mess and should clean it up. Your kind holds up the team from fighting the VP and countless times your kind has killed off ubers, stealing their jellybeans and level 7 gags and precious time because you don't care about the consequences of your actions and what you do to others. I bet looking back, you've said a quick "Sorry!" several times. But you still do what you do, and you're not REALLY sorry.

By the way: when you run around as a clone of an game toon, one would think you're paying homage to that character and spreading the good will and values of teamwork that they and the game stand for. I think if that were a real player I'd be ashamed and insulted that someone was running around looking like me who was potentially endangering ubers and small laff toons with their selfishness.

Is it really necessary to get those few points in during a VP? Do you actually think to yourself: "Oh boy, I got my merits! Now I can get those gag points I've wanted!"? I'm just trying to fathom the thought process here...

Anyway, consider for a moment that MAYBE doing the right thing and working with your team mates to defeat the cogs and not looking at each new cog as a gag prospect might work out in everyone's favor AND give you a better reputation. Wouldn't you want to be seen as a hero or cool? Isn't that better? I would think it would be, but maybe you don't think that far.

Biased? Them? Never! *cough! aaackh!*

Of course this means Toesies will be instilling fear in the hearts of Straticians tonight with her disarmingly toothy smile.

[rainwatercat]

all of you that have had trouble in factories and mints with randoms, i feel your pain.

i learned to multi-toon just so i could avoid having to get randoms to help me while my friends aren't on (the wonders of having insomnia :eek: ).

when they get the tf chat for accts fixed, i would love to go with any of you. i am always happy to help out. :D i just take a bit longer than the average toon to move when i am running 2 or 3 toons instead of just one.

and to all you wonderful randoms that joined me in mints and factories even after i said "no thank you", please keep the "hurry up", "i only have a few minutes", and "i don't have all day" comments to yourself. there is a reason i tend to go alone alot and that's it. i try to make my toons clothes match to give a hint that i am muli-tooning, but i can't always do that (boy clothes don't always match up to girl clothes).

and thank you to the one lone rabbit toon in the mints that figured out i was multi-tooning and was very patient with me. thank you! :D

[ZippyW]

I get irritated with a constant "I need a toon up" plea. Do they not understand that we all see what their laff points are? I went into the small DA office the other day with two 100+ laff toons and one like 70 laff toon, and every time the 70 was hit they were asking for a TU ... EVERY TIME. I finally said "Stop that!" and they said "Huh?" On top of it, THAT toon didn't have TU, and I find it irritating when someone who doesn't TU other toons is constantly begging for toons to toon THEM up. When we got out, I got the "Please be my friend" speed chat, and I said "Let's use toon up!" He replied "Sorry I can't" and I replied "Forget about it!" Sheesh.

[SSniffleslam]

I realize that my little 88-laff bunny looks small, but she's fairly "mighty" so please stop saying "This Way" and "Follow Me" in boss battles!! I understand you wanting to help me out the first couple of times...just in case I was a kiddo that needed help, but after those couple of times when you realized that I knew what I was doing, you could have SHUT UP! Geez.

I understand this one soo wellll.... Loading for the CFO in River on my 72 laffer as a Robber Baron once the suit comes off and line up for the cogs, someone sees my laff and says "huh?" Then starts trying to direct me...... HELLOOOO? My laff may be small, but the CFO is one thing I think I know a little bit about. Crane round comes around and I jump on the crane... same toon comes over as Im moving the safes behind me, telling me not to throw a safe... Why not? good grief. As we were dancing he noticed I needed 8900 bucks again with the "Huh?" Some people just dont understand.

I know, but I don't get it nearly as much with my bigger toons.

[ZippyW]

I'm maxed in Sell, and I was helping a smaller TF in the factory the other day, and we got that "Follow me" from an 80 laffer. At first I ignored it, but then she started with the "let's meet ...." Normally, I don't divide up, even when I go with a group of TFs (mainly because we are chatting the whole time!!), but if someone wants to split off that's up to them. I'm not going to agree or disagree because I know which way I'M going. In this case, both my TF and the 4th little toon that had gone with us (like a 40-laffer) stuck with me, while the one toon went on and on with the "let's meet.... " and "that's not nice!" My only concern was that she would try to finish it alone, but my friend needed merits and we KNEW where we were going. I'm not going to "follow" some random toon like I haven't been to the factories a million times before.

[Squeaker]

Dear early morning back nine toons,

I realize it's early and we're not quite awake yet. It's still my first cup of coffee too. I also know a couple of these mazes are really hard to catch onto, which is why I have paid attention for many weeks when I follow my friend through them. That said, while I am happily running through the longest one and two of you glitch it, I am not happy when I get kicked out with 50 seconds left on the clock.

Also, to this same group. the mole stomp is a very simple game. It's not that difficult. No need to run around like banshees. Honestly, either get to school or get another cup of coffee!

[Fangs McWolf]

Dear early morning back nine toons,
Avoid doing back nines, it's not worth it.

[Squeaker]

That would be ideal... but I would never get my options! Mornings are a bit difficult to get a group together for a stimulating round of golf. :)

[SSniffleslam]

Dear Toon,

I know that you don't know that I almost always do solo factories, so the first run wasn't a big deal. I went to the side entrance hoping to avoid other toons. Not to be rude or anything, but I only needed 160 merits, and a short side factory was going to do me fine with or without an invasion. You run in, and I say "No thank you" trying to be as polite as possible. You wouldn't give it up, so finally we went into the factory. Of course, you're 110+ laff so I'm betting you need more merits, and whaddya know? you need more merits. So the nice person in me doesn't bail on you even though I don't need merits. I run through the WHOLE darned factory, wait for an invasion, just so you can get your merits. At the end, I see you need 5500, no biggie, been there myself, so I don't get too grumpy even though I wasted my time. I go do a vp, go back for another factory, and who do I see? You again. At the side entrance again. Well, I still don't need many merits, so when you hop on the elevator with me I say "No thank you" and "No" "I need more merits" "No"...well you got the hint, but then you stinked me in whispers and gave me grief trying to shuffle on the elevator. WHY? Just to be an a**? You know, there's an old saying, "you'll get more flies with honey than vinegar" and this SO applies to you. I was nice once, and you're going to give me grief because I don't want to do it again? And considering that it was the middle of the day and your laff, I figure you're an adult just being a jerk. PFFT!

dear toon with no sense of humor,

i do realize that not everyone enjoys a good sense of humor, but i don't see why my dog's name offended you so much that you reported it. she has had that name for quite a long time and i was unhappily surprised to find that in the middle of a cfo she suddenly became "toon".

she may have to be "puppy wuv" from now on out, but forever in my heart she will be "icy yupie"...a dog that made a lot of people laugh who DID have a sense of humor.

and btw...i refuse to buy her a new doodle. you can't take "tinkles" from me. :lick:

I would resubmit it anyways. Ive gotten the same emails with Curious George. Hes been toon 3 different times so far, has another friend with the exact same name that has also been toon a few times. I seriously dont think Toontown has a REAL person checking names.

Dear Toon in CEO last night... you know who you are. I rarely stink anyone, but YOU certainly caught it from me. The ENTIRE battle, you stood next to the conveyor belts, keeping your laffs above 100, and NEVER LEFT ONCE. Never hit a golf ball, never went near a table. Are you proud of your suit size, even though you haven't done a thing to earn it? Is that all it is about? Well, I made note of your name and look, and I will NEVER get on an elevator with you again. And when I met up with you in the playground, I stunk you until you finally left. It will happen EVERY time I meet you!! :loser:

For all you know, it could have been someone that was playing another toon in the battle at the same time. There are times when someone will play 2 toons at once, either to promote both at the same time or because it will give enough players or they want to have a back up player in case things go bad. I wasn't there so I can't say for certain if it's a good possibility or not (you can sometimes tell but sometimes it's harder to know).

What I'd recommend is the next time you see that player in the CEO behaving the same way, keep track of everyone else in the battle. After you've been on a couple of CEO's and compared names, if you notice no one else that seems to be there during the same runs, then yeah, good possibility that it's a free loader. If that's the case then after so many runs, they'll find it hard to load with anyone because people won't want to play with them.

In short though, I would recommend that you don't continue to stink them after last night. They could click that report button and if TT takes action on it, you'll be the one in trouble, not them.

[ZippyW]

If you can't PLAY two toons at the same time, then they shouldn't BE there. :scholar: It STINKS to stick a toon in a battle and not PLAY them, just to get the suit level or to have a back up toon. How can it be doing the rest of the toons a favor by loading a toon who isn't going to play anyway. I'm not the least bit concerned about some report to TT. I have absolutely NO respect for the argument of "I'm playing 2 toons at the same time, so do me a favor and don't expect me to play at the same level as anyone else." I don't owe anyone any favors. I won't see that player behaving the same way, because I'm not going with them again. :gun::gun::gun::gun::gun:

My point is that it could have been one person playing 2 toons, instead of one person just taking a free ride. I know someone who will sometimes take a second toon into CFO. Those of us going in know who it is and all (instead of subjecting randoms to it), but during the crane round, her 2nd toon sits off to the side. I don't mind her doing that because it helped during the cog round and she only does it if there's an open spot in the group.

Don't get me wrong, doing it with randoms isn't a good idea, because it can cause harsh feelings. I'm also not saying you were wrong to stink them for it or anything like that. Just giving a different perspective to consider and trying to discourage you from getting yourself into trouble when it's not worth it.

[Squeaker]

Reason prevails again! I have to agree with Wolfie (did anyone doubt it?)... When dealing with randoms, you can never assume anything unless they tell you about it! And they can be nasty when they want to be.

I was very angry with a toon just a short while ago. Kept saying he didn't have lure until he ran out of TNT. Was I mad? Yes. Did I stink him? A tiny bit... The point is, that's over and I couldn't tell you his name anymore. If a toon is ever nasty often enough for me to remember their name, I just won't play with that toon anymore. I still don't know why they're nasty, could be anything. May be a child that doesn't know any better. Could be something even worse.

I won't ruin my playtime with toons I don't like, but I won't ruin theirs on purpose either.

[ZippyW]

I understood that you were saying that some people take in two toons just to get a suit promotion, and they leave them standing on the side. My question is in what way does that benefit the team?? They are taking up the space of a toon who would actually be PLAYING the game. What if half the people there did that? I don't see how there is any pride in gaining suit levels when you didn't actually play, just stood there. If a toon comes in and just stands there, and I dont care WHY, they stink as a TEAM player. And I don't care if it is a random or someone I know. If you are going to play two toons, then PLAY them. JMO.

[Trish]

Or at least don't take all of the snacks to keep yourself over 100. I'd have more issue with this than the doing nothing part.

[SSniffleslam]

Personally, I don't have a problem with someone playing two toons at once, I do it myself upon occasion, but I wouldn't bring two toons into the CEO fight unless I had several TU unites and was willing to use them, it's just too difficult to do two in that particular fight. The CFO and VP, no problem - but the CJ and CEO would be too difficult (at least for me) to try to run two. And even if you are running two, there's absolutely no reason to sit parked at the conveyor belt. Go hide by the entrance or one of the back corners and be willing to share your TU unites if you feel the need to run two. Savanna's toon went sad the other night from someone parking themselves at the conveyor belt to keep over 100 laff. I think that's just a little rude and selfish myself. On a side note, I doubt TT would suspend anyone for using the stinky phrases - they approved them and they're in speedchat. If you could get in trouble over that, then they shouldn't be there.

[Flippers]

Sorry Wolfie. The people I know who play double toons in the CFO stomp for themselves. They never keep one idle. Freeloading is freeloading in many of these battles.

i completely understand your feelings. the only time i double toon in a big boss battle is with all friends when they just need an extra body to help with the cogs...otherwise i don't and i only do it in the VP...never anywhere else. i agree that unless you are with a really awesome team, having a toon just sitting there can be hard (which is why i don't do it in the cfo, cj, or ceo).

however, i see no problem multi-tooning in factories, mints, da offices, or cog golf courses, because the danger level isn't anywhere near as high.

[Little Sadie]

I agree about both toons fighting even if it is just one person playing them. If you are going to bring two toons to battle then by golly BATTLE! Don't just stand there parked in a corner when the real fight begins. Anyone can take two toons into a CEO or VP or whatever and get through a cog round. Takes someone with real ability to take both toons to the harder battles that comes after. I have been in the CEO with quite a few players that take two toons in. Both toons always have their own tables and squirt along with the rest of the toons there.

The only time I don't think the second toon needs to help in the actual battle is if the reason they are there is for an extra body during the cog round. I've also gone with with groups that bring in a second toon to only help with the cog round because we are short a person. In that case I think it's great. If you are only there to give yourself two promotions while only playing one toon then that isn't right.

There was a couple of really great players that could play two toons in the CEO and battle the whole time. Unfortunately, they no longer play TT. As long as you go in with friends that agree, then anything goes. Just don't expect to do it with randoms. It really isn't fair to them to have one toon just hugging a wall or snack bar while the rest do the work.

[Monkeybear]

Dear brown duck and orange mouse thanks for joining out mint and battles just to join in our battles without using gags and letting us go sad.

[Steveo]

Dear ugly cat
Instead of going around asking to use the crane why dont you stomp goons. We got the CFO red and then I got knocked off the crane and before i could get back on you were there. Dont you understand that when people are on the crane you dont go and steal it. Even though the battle was almost over I dont apperciate you stealing a crane plus stinking everyone. So you got reported by two people andI hope that you get suspended and I will never load on the elevator with you again.

[ZippyW]

I guess I've been guilty of "stealing" a crane before. If I'm in the CFO battle and I see an empty crane, I am likely to get on it. I don't see much point in letting a crane stand empty if someone else could be using it. A lot of times toons will quit the crane and go stomp for a while to build their laffs back up. And if I'm on the crane first and get off, I have absolutely no problem with someone taking it.... I look at it as "move your feet, lose your seat" and go do my part by stomping for them. I really didn't know that is against the rules and something you should be reported for. I thought it was part of team work and that stomping is just as important as craning.

[Stubby]

Well, little rotten mouse, I cannot believe how rude and selfish one can be. We were in the coin mint because after COUNTLESS mints, (i needed 8900) I only needed about 380ish, so I thought I would do a coin and get it over with. (Most of you know I am so bad at mints, so do as little as possible) Well the invasion ended one battle before the end and while I was hitting the barrells before boss fight, you were telling everybody to hurry up, The other two said no and hung back. When got up there, you RAN and triggered the battle. Another toon and I both said no, that we needed more cogbux. You said HA HA. So we all had to go because I think you would have finished the battle without us. We used lure and you used squirt 7, knocking out 2 cogs, the rest of us played with our doodles. You kept throwing pies, and we asked you to stop, we needed more cogbux. You kept on laffing, and I was saying "please", but you managed to wipe them all out. I almost never stink anyone, but boy did you boil my blood. I stunk (or Stinked?) you during the dance and you just said thank you. :cursing::fight::cursing: AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
I think I feel a little better now. Even though I did end up having to do another mint. I helped some little ones in the dollar later. That was fun.:)

The cat Steveo was talking about did nothing but go up to everyone on all 4 cranes and ask to crane. She did no stomping at all. She was on my side during the cog round and she was terrible. She was a low suit and really didn't even know how to fight the cogs. As soon as we lined up for the cog round she continutely asked if she could crane!

When a craner got bumped off from gears hitting them, this cat would steal their crane. She got mad at all of us, even me who wasn't craning at all and yelled You Stink to everyone of us as we danced. I don't crane but also don't think it is right to grab a crane if someone just hopes off to grab a treasure real quick before getting back to their crane. I certainly don't think it is right to steal a crane when everyone asked her to stomp the goons.

Okay for one this toon was stinking everyone and being rude that is what they got reported for. Its fine if you get off the crane your self and go and stomp for awhile. Have you ever done a solo CFO before? You learn to do both. I stomp and I crane, when you go with randoms you never know what you are going to face. Some are griefers. Stomping and craning or just as important as the other. Again if you would read my post this cat was going around instead of stomping and asking if they could crane. She got mad and started stinking everyone. If you can crane I dont mind take the crane and I will stomp but dont stand there waiting for someone to get knocked off and still there crane. There is a difference there between teamwork and being selfish. If the cat would have stomped and I left my crane then fine but that was not the case.

Thanks Terri for backing me on this one.

[Trish]

As much as it stinks to have the crane you're on taken over, it really isn't "your" crane and there is no stealing involved. Yeah I would report them for the reasons Sadie said, but not for the reasons Steveo originally said.

I reported them for being rude not becuase they stole the crane or did nothing through the entire battle. How do i need to spell it out for you guys. I DID NOT REPORT THEM FOR STEALING THE CRANE I REPORTED THEM FOR BEING RUDE AND STINKING EVERYONE. IS THAT A GOOD REASON?

[Trish]

Ouch... step back. Your first post about this didn't state that.


*backs away slowly*

[Steveo]

I guess I did not make it clear in my first post when I said plus stinking everyone. I should have stated that is the reason for getting reported not the craning part.

[Flippers]

Funny I was going to post a related Dear Toon // because it involves the Crane LOL

Seems on Thursday when I was in a CFO during a certain elitist organization's scheduled time, I asked as is not unusual after the cog round if I can crane. A couple other toons did too. Well, as it so happened someone grabbed the crane nearest to me, and running around to see if any were left, I seemed to be one step too late for each one.

As we know, people who dont prefer cranes will hop on a vacant one to help out. You never can tell. So I asked "Can I use the crane" close to the center where the CFO was - in other words to no one in particular. After about 3 seconds I said "This isnt what I'm looking for," shrugged, the proceeded to stomp. No one stole a crane from me so there was no reason to single anyone out; it was obvious whoever was on one wanted to be. No big deal right? The battle was over fairly quickly and that was that.

A day later I got a PM on that other board from one of that org's reps if I knew of an incident where someone couldnt get a crane at my scheduled run. Well I said yeah I couldnt, but I moved on and stomped.

She comes back that someone REPORTED ME - and suggested a number of possible implied actions including namecalling. This is very weird. It would be interesting to know exactly who this was and what they said, since I singled no one out and definitely didn't use any stink menu phrases (which people will often report regardless of context in that group).

Hey if you don't want to run with me, either hang back or violate their rules and bail. Don't waste the time and resources of others. It's bad karma.

[Sally Bumblefoot]

I dont think there is any "rule" about "crane rights" but I agree that if someone beats you to a crane, you should leave it alone until they leave it and dont come back soon. Unless they are throwing safes on his head or you have a situation where all the craners stink and you are a good craner, you shouldn't take their crane. It may not belong to them but I think it is rude to take a crane from someone just because you want it!! I have done it unintentionally by stomping too close to an unoccupied one, jumped off and said "sorry". I have also had it happen where I got knocked off and someone who was doing the very same thing jumped on. It was almost over and he threw a safe on his head. He was going from crane to crane begging for one and wouldnt stomp anything. It just stinks but some people are like that. I don't see a problem with asking a general question "May I operate the crane" but chances are if all 4 are taken immediately, everyone wants it!!! You just stomp.

[Flippers]

yeah to a lot of that. there are some circumstances where some snert or curious tyke is on a crane and throwing helmets. The object then becomes imperative to unseat them. Ahh the NR life...

I dont think I said anything wrong and I have a right to whine ;) If I harped on it and didn't do anything to help it would have been something worth reporting. I actually stomped better when the reds came out for some reason :P But they were all good and the battle was short. No complaints about their performance.

[Elga]

Yo Yo,

I want to send a big Dear Toon out to...
The Lynksys company, the DeJazz'd ISP, the phone company, the people who made the wires for the power lines, and the people who cut down the trees to make the telephone poles for wasting 80 minutes of my life on this beautiful Sunday afternoon for kicking me out of a BBHQ Back 9 with Mr Jellyroll Kookyzilla and some other fine toons and then the stupid blue dog after I waited 20 minutes to get back into a middle six who then decided to glitch and make the other two toons mad and then they left and I left and then I go back to the playground. I still have "0" stock options. Thanx! I do want to thank the fine bunny who let me TP to her in Nutty River, much appreciated.
HATE for toons who glitch and the internet for kicking me out! :gun:


Thanks,

SHEESH. The MAIN subject of your post was your anger over craning. I don't see what difference doing a solo CFO makes since there's no one else there. I don't like people bringing 2-3 toons to a battle and leaving one on the sideline either, which falls into the same category of showing up and not fighting.

[Steveo]

That is your opinion and I don't bring two toons and leave one on the sideline. I only play one toon. The difference doing a solo is you have to learn to stomp and crane. I dont mind doing either but If I am on the crane and I get knocked off by the gears I dont apperciate someone waiting to take over. Also, I should have clarified it more by saying this cat was stinking everyone and being rude. That is the reason for us reporting her. Also there are a few others that get really made if they dont get a crane . I dont get mad if I dont get a crane I just go and do what is needed to be done. Basically if I go into a CFO and dont get a crane I am not going to go up to anyone and say May I operate the crane? I am going to stomp unless someone accidently jumped on the crane and are not able to use it. But its rude to stand there waiting for someone to get knocked off a crane. That all i was saying.

Just a question what toons do you play?

[Granjell]

Dear high laff toons in the factory in green districts - having a high laff toon myself who needs merits, I'm guessing that that's the sole reason you're heading into the factory. But if you head for the Front Entrance, lower laff toons will assume you don't mind them tagging along on your run. Why is it that you then leave them in the first or second room without saying anything? At least have the courtesy to say "I need to go" or "Let's go back to the playground." If you don't like their gags, well then, check them out before boarding. I specifically ask "Care if I join you?" but then you bail. Out of 5 attempts this morning, Baggins finished the factory exactly one time. Thanks to a kind invisible 111 laff toon for sticking it out with three 40 laffers.

[ZippyW]

I play Mister Zippy Wigglebump. Why do you ask?

I didn't ask why you solo, I said I didn't see why you would ask me if I did or what that had to do with someone "stealing" your crane. I also didn't say that YOU bring 2 toons to battles. I said I didn't like it when someone did that and couldn't play both toons at the same time, relating it to what you said about that toon not helping with your battle. I don't go on runs with Stratics.

And Granjell - I'm sorry you had such a run of people. I played fairly often with randoms in the factory, and since I could do it by myself, I had absolutely no problem going with small toons. I'd even do a short run if the majority seems to want to go that way, although I'd say "I need merits" and see if I can get an "OK!" I always tried to remember what it was like when I had low laffs. Going with a group of small randoms is always ... interesting! :D

[rainwatercat]

dear random bear in brrrgh today,

i have no problem helping out randoms (as i did for you today in that building), but....

was there a reason to tell me all your toontasks during the building? was there a reason to say "follow me" when we were already in the building? where was i going to go?

i really like helping, but that kind of behavoir really puts me off.

[soupandquackers]

Aww poor elga, that stinks you still didnt get your options. Zippy please dont make a big deal about a rant, we all friends in da hood.:)

[Elga]

That irritated me, I was actually quite mad with myself after that! That is the biggest thing I dislike about Bossbot. If you want to do Front Threes you gotta dance around the freaking cart to get on with some 15 laffer. You spend so much time trying to load with actual toons who need Stock Options or suit parts. It wasn't just that one time either, I have no luck and it's a stressful thing just to go in a good group. I'm probably not going to try again either for this week's CEO. Those toons frighten me. If we weren't constricted by Speedchat, which is probably a good thing, I would give them a piece of my mind! :gun: My future with Bossbot is still up in the air. The battle itself is interesting, but the riff raff in the golf course entry area blows. :sad4:

[ZippyW]

I'M MAKING A BIG DEAL?????!!!!!!!!!! My jaw just dropped. I just answered questions that were asked. Maybe you should read my answer again. He can't rant all he want, but I'm going to respond if he claims I said stuff I didn't say.

Never mind. Waste of time.

I'm with you on that one. Bossy toons turn me off very fast, and I've been known to shut the game off and go do something else when I encounter one. We ran into one yesterday in a CFO. His was the kind of bossiness that absolutely drives me insane. This is where the toon makes judgements on the acceptability of your gag choices after you picked, by saying 'Yes' or 'No'. Drives me up the wall. Toons who do what your bear did, by saying 'Follow me' or 'Let's use <gag>', such as an aoogah on level 12's, also drive me insane. Chances are he was trying to get you to use whatever gags he was using, thus 'Follow me'.

It's one of the reasons I'm hesitant to go with randoms these days. However, given that we want to max the suits on our bears, my wife and I are going to have to start doing so. Which typically results in such cases being the CFO we did yesterday, in which one random bailed on the elevator because lag made another look like they weren't there, although they were. (That toon ended up on our side and eventually lagged completely out.) The other side lost a toon, then they all bailed, leaving us with just the bossy bear on our side. Needless to say that CFO was a total loss. :cursing:

[Flippers]

Zippy and Steveo: Take it outside after school.

:rolleyes:

Yeah granjell re the big toons: It's a rare occurrence when I use the front entrance in an occupied district. It's usually because I implicitly want the numbers. I'm very much the side door time for both the ubers and big toons I use.

What surprises me are how many big toons NEED someone else with them. They actually don't realize how easy it is to solo the fac. They probably can't solo over a level 2 or 3 building either. Unfortunately high laff or gags don't tell you much about a random toon's skill. For all you know someone else built up the toon.

[Steveo]

Zippy and Steveo: Take it outside after school.


Sorry Flippers I am out of school. I have been out since 1996. As far as that goes Zippy has his opinions and he is going to express those opinions. Most of his post have been negative. I expressed that I dont agree with someone standing around waiting on a crane. Then this toon started stinking everyone which was very rude. For one this is a Dear toon Thread not a answer my question thread. I did not ask for him to answer any questions I just was mad at a Cat in the CFO that did nothing plus stunk everyone in there. I agree for grabbing a crane is nothing to report someone for. But when you are really rude by stinking every toon in the CFO that is another story.

Soup I do agree that ZippyW has made a big deal out of nothing. This was just a rant not a question. I am done with my rant about the cat. ZippyW thanks for you opinion.

[Trish]

Alright everyone needs to chill. Steve ranted about "his" crane being stolen and mentioned he reported the toon. He admitted his first post wasn't clear; that should've cleared this up, but didn't for whatever reason.

Over the years I've read many an opinion about "ownership of the crane". I'd love to see a thread on the subject (if we can be more civil than we're being in this thread). But as far as this thread goes, this is a Dear Toon thread. The intent of this thread (and the ones before it) was to vent frustrations we feel in Toontown, not with each other.

Please stop the armchair modding, name calling, and otherwise degrading of each other, and let's get back to Dear Toon.

[Steveo]

I agree with you Trish. Thanks for clearing up what this thread is about.

[toontownhappy]

Dear blue rabbit:
Okay, let's go over some ground rules here.
1) You don't pull a baby trap on a level 11 skelecog without backup. Ever. And at LEAST say sorry.
2) Don't think you can make nice with me by giving me a toonup when I'm down by 10 laff.
3) And don't you DARE try to then make ME look bad by saying "You're welcome!" and "Any time!" after you toonup me. That is just ridiculous.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! or Why I Hate To Go With Randoms

Dear stupid rabbit in the VP,

Through a lot of bad gag choices, you, me and my wife were all that was left in the VP after the skelecog round. All three of us have plenty of laff to make it through this fight. I can stun at the door, two to drive him back, that VP should have been over the edge in 10 minutes. Instead, one hit, and you're screaming for a toon-up. You then go so far as to stand in front of Bluebeary, and then in front of me, to get said toon-ups instead of helping drive him back. The end result? The fight dragged out forever, Bluebeary giving you toon-ups took her away from driving the VP back. You went sad, she went sad, and I had to alt-F4 out, whereas if you'd just HIT THE VP WITH PIES, we'd have had him beaten before toon-ups would even be required. Therefore, to you sir, I say 'You stink!'

Dear stupid dog in the CFO,

I asked politely to get a crane. Everyone said OK. I got a crane. Then you stand next to me, waiting for the CFO to hit me, after we'd had him already near red, you toko the crane when he geared me, and what happened? I was knocked into a swarm of red goons and went sad in very short order. Goons THAT YOU DIDN'T STOMP! If you had let me keep going, and had stomped the goons, I would have had him nailed. Here's to hoping you lost that CFO.

Dear stupid dog in the CFO 2,

Same deal. I asked, the others said yes, I got a crane. I was knocking the CFO senseless. I knew what you were going to do the minute you stood next to me instead of stomping, and sure enough, when he geared me you took the crane. I told you that wasn't nice, you obviously didn't care. Thankfully another crane opened during the red cog round and I was able to get the safe off his head and get two red goons into him before I got knocked off, and we won. I hope you choke on the victory.

Sincerely,
Mountainbeary McBurp

Dear toon,
During the cfo run i was using my black cat. We already found out earlier that my fog horn wasn't maxed out, but you intend on saying phrases like "oof" when 2 foghorns plus mine (41 damage) doesn't kill level 12's. Is it a big deal that the level 12's dont die we can always use toon-up.

i agree...it's no big deal and if your black cat was "black knight", then i do remember you saying more than once that you "hadn't found it yet". as long as a toon says they don't have it maxed (so the other toons can adjust accordingly--or have tu at the ready), i have no problem with it. how are you supposed to ever max it if you don't get the chance to use it. :thumbup1:

I'm torn as to which way to respond....because I think it was I that made that comment... I've been playing this game for a relatively short period of time compared to many who read these boards - about six months. I can remember responding in that way mostly because I was confused as to why the 12's didn't go. I'm sorry I didn't pick up on the "I haven't found it yet" comment. I never knew that that was a signal that one was using a gag in training. I had no SF's in that run and I probably figured that the comment was in response to some conversation to which I was not privy. In my own training I was half way to the opera singer before I figured out that my foghorn wasn't doing what a full foghorn could do. I don't have all the nuances down, e.g. I still don't know why sometimes you get the lure bonus in a mint and sometimes you don't. I figured the 12's were around because of some exception or unknown rule to me in the CFO cog round.

I had no problem with you using a reduced strength gag, I was just confused as to why they weren't going down. I think I used a sad Speedchat phrase maybe three times during the whole battle, if that. I try to live up to the unspoken Stratics standards of the perfect battle - kill the cogs, fast, and don't let them fight back. I make mistakes - several of them this evening, actually - but I never thought I'd be the cause of a Dear Toon posting. I going to try not to let that be a big deal because I don't think my comments were that terrible...

:confused:

Sounds like a standard case of miscommunication and misunderstanding. We all live and learn. :)

- but I never thought I'd be the cause of a Dear Toon posting. I going to try not to let that be a big deal because I don't think my comments were that terrible...You didin't. But some of us old folk have been around for so long, occasionally we need to be reminded of how it was like for us in the beginning. Isn't that right, Soup :P

Dear 120+ laff toons in the CEO,

HOW IN THE WORLD did you get your suit levels so high when you are SOOOO awful at the seltzer round? Running around like chickens with your little heads cut off. Bouncing from golf tee to table to golf tee to conveyor belt. I can't believe that there were only 2 max unites used. THAT was the worst CEO (toonwise) I've been in ever! Especially since all but one of us in there was Head Hunter or larger. GOOD GRIEF!

[ZippyW]

Since reading here on this board that there are people who bring a second toon to a battle to just gain suit size, I no longer take suit size as some evidence of a toon's skill. It's entirely possible that suit size was gained by just hanging around on the sideline and running from belt to belt, never actually joining the battle.

[Trish]

But having that 2nd toon in there means their first toon had to be worked alone. That would be evidence to the contrary, in my opinion. You know, I used to bring a 2nd toon when we were low on people. It ain't easy remembering to jump two toons when the VP jumps. Keeping that 2nd toon alive is a challenge that, in my opinion, only a seasoned toon could accomplish.

[SSniffleslam]

I seriously doubt that they were all playing two toons. No one was at the same suit level, but they all were Head Hunter or larger except for one Yesman. If you have done the CEO that many times, you should be able to do it fairly decently. EVEN if there was someone playing two toons, at that high of suit levels, you should be a PRO at working both toons at once. They were all maxed in everything but Boss - the exception being me (I'm not maxed in law) and the yesman...

[soupandquackers]

It wasn't you dadio dog, it was that other dog that was with us, you and rainwater cat were quite cooperative. No hard feelings..

[Trish]

Aaaaaaand, that's 200. He who has a fellow toon gripe must make the new thread.
