Small toons, I'll say it again...

[Silly Rhubarb Wondersocks]

Okay, I've said this before in this forum, but I just gotta say it again!
Small toons CAN run the DA, but NOT office D.... please!

I just finished two runs in the DA this morning - both good and won both, but wow what a difference.

First run, a 105 laff dog is trying to tell me "Don't worry!" and trying to get me into office D. Now, normally I would go because I need more notices. But it was early in the morning, and the only 4 of us in there were the 105 dog, a 106 rabbit and an 81 dog with no sound... and me on my 125 laff with no lure... hmmmmm. I don't think so - mostly cuz I don't like to die before I've even had my first cup of coffee!

Well, stubborn monkey that I am, I went and parked myself in front of office B and said "We can do this!" Finally, they came my way and in we went.
The main thing is... we won. The other important thing is.... we would have died in office D without a doubt. We barely made it through B - with lots of newbie (and I say that in a kind way) moves from toons unfamiliar with the DA... triggering holo cogs in the puzzles instead of waiting for a toon to solve it (ahem!), caking a 12 all by yourself, bad timing on toon ups, etc.

None were bad toons and they were trying to play cooperatively.... that's why we won in the end. But I'm really really glad they came to office B instead of dying in D.

Second run... can I say.... Rabid Rabbit (119 laff) and Colonel Huddles Funnytwist (123 laff) - you ROCK! After our 4th toon bailed on us before the first elevator (Princess something...), we decided to go on with just us three in office D. What a fun, cooperative, awesome run... you toons are awesome!

Last night I did a D office on my bunny, Hunny Bunny Sparkleburger. I personally didn't need that many jn, but there were few toons there and no other options. She is 109 laff, 5 from fishing and 4 from gardening. She also has fully maxxed gags and is played with the experience of my 127 laff main toon. Judging by many of the posts here, she would be considered a "small" toon.

I went in with 3 random toons, and my laff was the lowest by far. The other players may have been apprehensive due to my apparent lack of experience, but when one of the toons disco'd on the first floor we all continued. I more than proved myself to them with good teamwork and the ability to solve the puzzles. We only had to defeat holos twice, due to Skull Finder puzzles which were very difficult and needing to simply take a chance. I solved the rest of the Skull Finder puzzles easily.

I simply have had no desire to max the Cog Hqs on any of my other toons, and it is actually beneficial to have smaller suited toons in CJ. I wanted to complete her jn because one of my SF is ready for Big Wig 50 and I'd prefer to help lower the difficulty for the battle.

My point is that you can't always judge a book by it's cover, but that is exactly what seems to happen all too often in TT!

I myself (126lp) did an early morning run with my cup of coffee. It was with an 89 monkey (no fog no BD cake) 102 dog and a 109 dog. Was only the 4 of us there and being in a good mood took them into office B. The 109 dog left us after one of the others tripped the first puzzle, but felt that we could make it and didn't want to leave those two others down. For some strange reason I was carrying a couple of extra lures and toonups then usual

I have to admit it was fun getting those two toons through there, hopefully made those two toons smile as I did myself when finishing off that last cog boss and all of us leaving with max laff points!

I think some of the players should try and take that little risk and some extra time and patience and help them through. I'm sure there are players out there that don't know anyone else personally that plays TT. I was lucky...my friend was playing for about a year when I joined and she helped me along when I started and made it easier for me.

Toons of the world UNITE!

I love helping little toons since I feel really bad when I leave em behind. Once I went into the D office with all high toons and there was a small toon trying to get in i felt really bad but got over it and then since i had alot of jn to get I went again and I saw that toon still there! I felt really bad this time since nobody was helping and she probably waited a long time since the D office takes a while. I ended up helping with her tasks doing buildings(she needed Legal Eagles) since nobody would come with me into the A office.

That is really awesome. A lot of bigger toons don't remember what it's like to have all those horrid tasks lol. You guys both did great things ! Now if only I could get someone to get me through it being a 103 soundless toon... lol =]].

Yes I have also done the same! Its fun watching them complete some of those harder tasks that require a group or one big toon to complete and then going along when they turn it in.
I like to add this nice note....

There's a Light Blue bunny running around in TT by the name of Blueberry Sherbert...She is another very helpful toon. One night working on making my unknown 32 laffer dog an uber toon by hisself she came along and realized what I was doing and worked with me and became friends. Rarely do you see a toon do that unless its for completing a task.

P.S. I work with soundless toons also!

I don't mind small toons. I will do A and B offices with any toon above 50 laff. If they have good gags I will even work with them if they are lower. But for D offices, I try to go in with toons with all maxed gags. I make an exception with trap or drop. Laff doesn't really matter
The funny thing is many "high" level toons underestimate 106s and 107s with maxed gags. Many toons won't go in with my sister's toon into D offices even though she has maxed gags. They are like wow when they see that she is a big wig working on her 14400.

Right, I see that alot. I dont mind going in with a 105. I don't know but some toons feel the right to wait for a group with all toons above 110. It doesn't really matter to me. I don't care if it's a 85 with maxxed gags, I don't really see a difference I mean nobody, I don't think has ever lost 85 points in the D office so I see no reason why not.

Although, Sound toons are a factor for me. I have a schedule to follow and I try to get the best done in the time period I have. Going with a soundless toon will affect me so I try to avoid that although I know that is not good. If there are 4 toons ready to go to D and one of them is a soundless I dont wait for a sound toon to come, I go but if there are toons available with sound I tend to go with them. I know that is one bad thing about me but I really can't help with my upcoming 14400. My apologies though.

I am maxed in Lawbot, it took me short time to do it since Lawbot hq was open. So I know very good the DA. I did with my bunny (90 laffer) total gags maxed, many times the DA to finish the 300 lawbots task and I didn't have any problem. I also took some of my small friends to do DA to get that task done.
You never know who is in the other side, if they have good gags, I don't understand why you get so worry.
I am fine with medium toons and I never had any problem.
