sad warning

[amypurpleberry]

My 5 year old son at 51lp's is determined to go to the VP. I have had numerous discussions with him in hopes that he'll decide to go back to MM and work on getting his next gag and training the ones he has. Although his stats aren't bad for 51 lp's. Please remember troops that there are probably tunz of other young children that can't read all of the speedchat phrases that are trying to do VP. And it's just a game to them and they just don't get all of the concepts yet. So I'm sorry in advance for the elevator shuffle that he'll probably be a part of.

Why not setup a run for ten and under?
Anyone interested?

May I direct you to the Cold Callers Guild. They'll be glad to take your son in the VP. That's what they're set up for. It's a fabulous group. You'll have no fear of someone trying to shuffle him out of the elevator & no "you stinks" if he makes a mistake.

On general, for his first VP run, you'll probably want to be there with him because the actual pie throwing takes a bit of dexterity. Lots of fingers & movements at once.

Good luck to both of you.

I also think that if you go with him the first time it would be a good thing. As a boy he probably wouldnt want you to help him too much. But I think he will appreciate you being there for some tips and pointers.

Also why dont you and some of your friends take him? most of our SF's are also parents and we did take one of the kids with us once. It was great because he was so excited to be there.

Also, Disney has spoken!!! Anyone 50lp is welcome in Cog HQ! The elder tasks have us big toons taking a toon with 50lp into Cog HQ! If they can get pcs then they can go into the VP! Sad but true...I no longer argue about the fact of these toons being HQ now.

Plus, the cold callers guild is ideal for him. Plus, you can always get your dear friends to help your son

Yes there are. My 5yr old has won at the VP a few times, but he's 104lp and knows the strategy.

But last time he tried he got trapped in the elevator because other toons were trying to trap a lower laffer.

Make sure you teach him the Alt-F4.

Thanks guys for all of the encouragement and great ideas. Sometimes
things are right in front of you but you still need help seeing them. I'm going to look into the CCG. And I'm going to discuss it all with my son. He's too proud to let me help, but when he goes sad he gets very emotional. But I'm happy to say that he's in MM finishing his final gag trainig. YAY. So that gives me a little while to get involved with the CCG. Thanks again everyone.
