Angry please please toon up people nearly dying in pie fight!!!

U DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE VP!!

ive been trying to become a two face for a weak now and everyone ive gone in with has been horrible and not tooned me up!i had been tooning one up and then my laff got down to 19 and i said i need more laff pionts then the person i had been tooning up said when i asked for a toon up i need more laff pionts and i only had 9!!wat cheek!!i had asked everyone to toon me up but they just egnored me!

i think that if u go bellow 30 laff then u should get a toon up but not bellow 0 laff when u get a toon up!!!!!!!!

this should be acnoliged in any vp not just ccg runs!

im sure that everyone would agree with me but i wouldnt mind having a dibate if u guys dont mind me posting alot

i died twice today because of that

i hope that no one expereince the same vp sept it should happen to those who didnt toon up anyone who was close to dying cus ur just MEANYS!lol

Sorry that happened to you, but I have one question.

Could these toons have been toon-upless? Or did they just not want to too you up?

Title does say pie fight.

That's too bad that you keep losing laff. Are you missing VP's jumps?

Those things are painful.

Ha it would have helped if I read the title...

Just jump when the vp jumps. Don't go in front up ppl and ask for toon-ups either, that will probably make them mad. And you could distract yourself and get jumped by the vp o.o.

I don't know what to tell you, I can't make someone toon you up. But good luck with future vps.

You have to understand that sometimes it can be difficult to toon up others during the pie fight. The pies only give one laff point and if there is a 1 laff boost to 10 laff losses (from the VP jumping) it won't matter if you have someone constantly pieing you, you could still die. What I do when I need a toonup is stand in the back and say, "I need a toonup." More than likely, someone will be kind enough to come over and help. But the best way to get help is to help yourself by keeping an eye on when the VP jumps and throws the gears. When the V.P. jumps, he makes a characteristic sound every time and if you keep your ears open for that sound, you can anticipate a jump and thwart the laff loss. Gears are trickier to avoid. Usually, after the V.P. recovers from being stunned, he will spin and throw gears at toons in front of him. Stand off to the side, and you can avoid those gears. The stream of gears the V.P. throws at specific toons can be avoided if you either keep moving around, or, if you see the V.P. looking at you, get out of his line of sight quickly. When the door to the undercarriage opens, gears come out in all directions from there as well. Unless you are planning to stun, just avoid that area if possible. If you want to stun, stand at an angle right in front of his treads and give the insert key a very slight tap. The V.P. does inch forward, so make sure he doesn't run over your toes! I hope this bit of advice helps you make it out of the V.P. in one piece.

Here on some tips for getting TU's in the pie fight
  • NEVER ask a stunner for a TU
  • The best way to get a toon-up is to get infront of a thrower and start throwing at the VP
  • Watch for the VP jumps. Jump when he hits the ground

What I usually do, and I learned this from an SF, is since I'm a skilled VP'er, to click on the other players, find the lowest laff toon (or the lowest laff friend, if they're uberish) and leave their name on my screen during the pie round. Then if I see their laff go to a certain point, I will go from what I'm doing (almost always stunning in back, where there is usually at least one other person) to that toon and starting throwing pies at them to keep them from going sad. I've actually saved a few who would have gone sad had I not done that (they lost a total of more laff than they had, not including the time while I was tooning them).

More often than not, it's a useless toon up, meaning that they would have survived without it, but it's better to try to save them than to risk it.

I'll most likely be going on at least 2 different runs today (hopefully 3, then I'll have maxed my black cat), so if you want to try to VP with my friends and me, we rarely lose players (except possibly ubers from a bad cog/skele round), let alone losing the VP run. If so, just PM me.

Post Don't worry!

Here are MY stragities:
1.If you go to a V.P.,Make sure that at least one 100 laffer is there and goes with you.
2.NEVER don't go with a 49 laferr or below,because at the pie part they don not give you Laff Points.
Well your problem has happened with me too.
P.S. Happy V.P.ing!

1. Actually, a 100 laffer is not your ticket to a win. Of course you want to make sure your teammates have enough muscle to handle the VP, but don't assume you need 100+ laffers in order to win. That person at best will not appreciate carrying others through the battle and at worst could be a griefer only looking to watch his/her teammates die for his/her own personal satisfaction.

2. Some low laffers are actually skilled players on small toons trying to add some excitement to the game. You can cheat yourself out of a good player (myself included) if you always go by laff. Check a low toon's gags. If they are maxxed or very high, you're probably dealing with high laffer in a low laff disguise.

The lobby is filled with 100 laff toons that have low suit levels lately. I think a lot of players have skipped Sellbot HQ and advanced their toons elsewhere. Having an inexperienced 100 laff player in Sellbot will do nothing to help you win after the cog rounds.



On the original subject. I would try to figure out why your loosing laff in VP. If you know where to stand and how to react the the VP’s actions you should be able to get through a VP with only loosing a few laff points.

I've just recently started to VP successfully. These are good tips I think it takes considerable skill to stun or maybe it's aiming *shrug* - unless you're just talented like that

Anyway, yeah, if you need a TU let the stunners keep stunning and come stand in front of a thrower - might be me - and if it is me I'll be happy to pummel you with pies until you're out of danger - just make sure that you take over for me as far as hitting the VP goes.

Yes, I'm 101 laff with a Telemarketer suit - and I did, pretty much skip SHQ and focused on training for and getting my gags up among other little things like carrying 80 gags and more jb's - then I worked on getting the pieces for my Cash suit. Totally true what you said though, if someone had asked me to VP last week, I would have tried but I couldn't promise that they would make it...or even that Iwould - even with my laff where it is. Now that I finally defeated him a few times I feel better - more confident in my own abilities. Looking forward to a run tonight as a matter of fact

And definitely, make sure you keep your ears open for the jumping sound (especially if you find yourself in a position where you can't see him) - you should jump before he hits the ground - since the jump takes the most laff from you, make sure you can easily hit that ctrl key.

When he sprays gears, I tend to move back up the ramp (sometimes jumping at the same time) while still throwing pies (I tend to throw long/high at this point and I'm repeatedly hitting the Insert key so I'm nearly always throwing a pie). As soon as he's stunned, I run up as close as I can and just keep pelting him and when he isn't dizzy anymore, I back up to a safe distance to avoid the gears/oil sprays while still throwing pies.

Wow, that was a mouthful and I'm sure I've repeated some people (sorry about that if I did). I'm not an expert, but I hope some of that info helps.

Actually, it doesn't bother me to try to 'carry' other toons through a battle, so long as they either demonstrate that they know how to play, ie, choosing appropriate gags, or that they'll follow direction. Actually had that happen one time. I was a bit nervous because if they hadn't followed what I had said or if my lure had missed (LLKR method), then that would have messed everything up for us. Once we got through it, I sighed in relief, but it was fun at the same time.

Knowing that some 'low laffers' or even some 'low suits' may actually be decent players, I have no problem with boarding with anyone who happens to go along. If that group happens to show that they're too inexperienced for us to win, then right after the cog round, I'll tell them to run, and lets go back to the playground. Reason being that I don't want to watch them all go sad one by one, and if they can't make it to the pie round (or if they can but barely have laff), then it'll be a big loss to the team. My hope is always that if we get inexperienced player on the VP, it's only 1 or 2 of them, so they can gain that experience and learn some tricks. Then after they've gone a few times, they'll be better players and someday may be able to show others through as they were shown.

Being that I maxed BP last night with 3 CC's on the run who turned out to be excellent players, I can certainly vouch for the fact that suit level (and even laff) don't make much difference.

On the original topic though, it's all about teamwork, including trying to TU other players. An sf and I did that recently. It was a friend of theirs, and I had them on my screen so I could monitor the laff. They got rather low so I went to toon them. After I got their points up some, I went back to stunning the back end. My sf did the same thing, tooning up to keep their friend from going sad. We all danced at the end, thankfully.
