Is it just me or has everyone just gone nuts??? I have seen so many "post wars" in this forum.... its enough to make anyone cringe.

Regarding the "hundreds" of posts about lowbies in the VP, well, I think that is for each player to decide on their own. I respect everyones decision to bring whom they choose, even if it is based on laff points. If I go in with a group who doesnt want to run the VP with lowbies.. so be it. But I personally couldnt care less. I have gone in with low laffers on a few occasions, and I havnt lost because of them. As Ive said before, the VP battle will not be the deciding factor. As long as they can jump and toss some pies, they are good to go! But, its the initial cogs before that battle that worries me. Unless you are one of those "maxed" lowbies, then without the high laffers, you wouldnt stand a chance. You need us for our gags. We used to all say how tough the VP was in the beginning when we were all new at it... personally, I think its gotten sooo easy, and if you know what youre doing now.. you dont need 8 to get him. 5 maybe would do the trick.. so be it if those lower laffers dont make it, so long as you do right? The method of play sometimes just doesnt cut it period!! But kudos for trying as long as you know when to play and when to pass. I am really torn at this time seeing some of my s/f completely against it and some who are all for it. Not that I expect anyone to care, but on my trip through Oak Street yesterday, (on my way to HQ), I saw some low laff toons hanging around a building. I almost walked by but then thought... WOW they are ACTUALLY working on tasks. They probably wouldve stood there forever, but I went through and helped them with the 4 story boss building. They were polite in asking for help, and thanked me accordingly when I left and said "no problem" when I refused to continue helping them. These are the toons I want to see in HQ. I dont know the last time I was in a building, but I have seen so many high laffers talk about getting these guys out of HQ, but in a sense, they still need our help elsewhere. Have you gone through the brrgh lately? There is a serious shortage of "toons helping toons" I know that when I was a newb, there were many toons who helped me even though they were 100 and I was a 44 or whatever. Anyhow, like I said everyone has their own method of playing and I respect EVERYONES opinion, but people, do we really need to continue this topic over and over till we are blue in the face? I have been told that some "s/f's" are losing friends through these posts!!! That is just not necessary. ( I hope I dont get ambushed after this post hee hee).

The second thing is this. Arent we all here because we love this game??? I know I play because it puts me in a different zone, no stress, and I can just relax and giggle to myself at what all my freinds are saying. Some of my s/f's I barely talk to anymore because they are such die hards about these merit things. I personally would rather take my time, and enjoy the company Im with. (Last night was fun!!! Kim, Tammi & Sherri - we had a gals night out)!! That is how it should be, should it not? We need to look at the big picture again and tell ourselves that no matter how we look at it, this is a game for kids!! Its Disney "for crying out loud". Most of the people who post here and are arguing, are adults!!! I wonder if any of the programmersread these posts and laugh at how personally we are taking some of these things. Maybe thats why they've added the new phrases like; "of all the nerve" and "whatever" and "I dont care", so that we can continue these childish wars with each other for their entertainment. I love the people I play with.... you are all awesome. I've been spending more time on the forum than on TT because of all the animosity, but now, I come here and all I see is people against each other. Im not a saint, Ive contributed to these threads too, but once I state my opinion, Im pretty much done from there. Perhaps some of you out there are gonna call me a sap... and tell my to but out.. and thats fine too, but this game just isnt was it used to be, OR what its supposed to be anymore. These poor kids who play this game, and are getting attacked. They take it seriously. I allow my nephew to play from time to time, and when he makes a new freind, his face lights up!!! I love that!!! I cant imagine what it would do to him if some one walked by and told him "you stink" just because he used the wrong gag, or went into a buildng not knowing that he shouldnt be there. I am going on to play in a while... but dont ask me to VP!! I have decided that my first hour of play each night will consist of helping the lower laff toons with their tasks. If we are to solve this problem... maybe thats the only solution. I hope everyone is still enjoying themselves as they should be... but from the looks of it in here and out there..... most (NOT ALL) are just angry and bitter. *shrugs*

Ok Im done now.....

;o)
