It might hurt his feelings, but what can I do? At 87 laff-points, I can take 3 friends with me in either the Coin or Dollar mint and feel pretty confident we can make it. But if one of us is a very low laff pointer and cannot contribute in the fight, it risks the whole group. We are not so tough that we can waltz through Mints with only 3 of us.
If I'm wrong, tell me, and I'll change my evil ways! I try never to do those other things.
Thanks again.

No you are not a griefer
squirt guns and fruit pies have no reason being in a mint lol. Helping little toons is often a subject for debate as they will often not be aware of their own limitations (especially if they are children). As the larger toon I see it as your responsibility, at least in part, to not put them in excessive danger just because they don't know better. It can be hard when they are obviously excited and want to try something and give sad faces when rejected with a "I think this is too risky for you" "you need more laff points" etc. You are basically being put in the position of toon parent. Help them grow and learn but only within everyones comfort levels. Of course there will always be some that need to learn the hard way... perhaps they could care less about going sad. But if it endangers everybody else in the process then thats just all bad.
