Chicken Big Toons and the VP

[Tiger & Cubbie]

First I am so sorry about your son . i have posted a few times about high toon jumping at the last min and i still think that is so wrong also.

my toon is luke a little yellow duck ( real cute ) he is a 103 lp and a name dropper 6 or 7 i think . let me know when he wants to try again and i will be there with a few of my sf all ranging from glad handlers to hollywoods just let us know when and where just remember we may need time to get merits and such.

we just did a run with a 40 lp and she made it all the way YAY what a champ

If I get there is right. I don't intend on getting there anytime soon because it's BORING and IMO not a status symbol. I've known some great people "Frankly" that have gotten to Mr. Hollywood and didn't do it by making others go sad: Loosy Goosy, Tornado to name a few and those people, like UMT would help out in a flash! Those are the people who deserve to have bragging rights.

So what "magical" thing is going to happen to me when I turn 50 Hollywood? Am I going to be endowed with some kind of mystical wisdom suddenly that I don't know now? Do I get a gold star that makes me be mean to little toons, too? Oh, where, oh where do I sign up for that?! Because now I'm in such a big hurry to get THERE. NOT. Nothing different happens at 50 Holly and I'll still treat people the same way I do now. Maybe it just makes us all act like cogs. No, that can't be it because I know a lot of really nice 50 Mr. Holly. Apparently, it only had that effect on you "Frank". I don't care what bragging rights it entails, I stand my statement: If it takes you to get to level 50 Mr. Hollywood to get the concept of the VP, then it isn't my skills that are in question here. And if you can't teach people the RIGHT way to fight the VP, then you're going to have the same low-laffers get to 100 laffs and still not know how to do it. The only difference is the VP noobs will be 100 laffers and will take longer to get rid of because they have juggling balls and 100 laffs to fall back on.

You want to say that no low laffers can go in with you, that's fine. I'll take them and I'll never turn into a cog either doing it. You want to hide behind the fact that maybe you think you're teaching them a lesson that they shouldn't be there and if they are you're going be rude, that's fine too. But I love my kids and I wouldn't want anyone to intentionally make them cry. Have a little empathy if you have kids of your own. It may be safe to hide behind the computer because you don't SEE them, but just imagine if it were YOUR kids who just want to have fun and someone was ruining that intentionally. I know if I were that parent, I'd be hunting some toons down. LOL

And as far as questioning my moderating skills...if you see, I have edited a lot of remarks. I may have missed some, but "frankly", I have to sleep sometime. They get the same warning, but I know if I tell them that they can't call names, they'll listen. Apparently, even switching account names hasn't made some people listen....

Very well said I always look at it as a challenge too. And just one other point, as you stated, many of us have more than 1 maxxed toon... you never know if that little toon you are trying to leave out has 2 Hollys at home I've met some smaller toons who can stun better than alot of bigger toons I've seen. I feel it is always best to play with a toon before judging their playing abilities

Slightly off topic, but recently I've seen no problems with Lure. Last night I was soloing buildings for Loosy's Iron-Toon competition, and out of my 10 magnets used, none missed. Out of my 2 goggles used, none missed, Out of my 5 10$ bills used, none missed. Maybe people have just been having bad luck or something.

On the other hand - the VP is easy. No way around that. 5 toons that are over 100 laff and have all their level 6 gags can easily take down the VP. Why not bring a few low laffers too? I used to do VP all the time with a group of friends who now have mostly quit. We'd go in with 6 toons all the time and come out with barely a scratch on me. The VP is easy.

That's right I forgot - my toons are cursed.

No, I'm not a 50 Hollywood because as Bunny said, it's pointless and boring. I literally hate the factory, and try my best to stay out of there.

It takes no skill to get to 50 - no offense to any of the 50s out there. All it takes is time and a cast-iron stomach for the factory.

and what makes you think that i care about you and what you think? your a poor excuse for a high laffer needing to hide your flaws with noobs. they wont see your terrible gag selections and lack of skill. fought alongside you been there done that

Obviously you do care, or else you wouldn't be pulling the "I'm a 50, hear me roar" trick with us. You've fought alongside me? I rather doubt that. As for "terrible gag selections" and low laffers... your logic astounds me. If that's the case, then how do I have a 19 Hollywood suit on my 107 laffer and a 8 Hollywood suit on my 40 laffer? If I can make it that far being stupid, then the VP is a joke and so is your vaunted 50 Hollywood suit. Let's look at the implications of our statements, shall we? It means you fell for the joke lots of times more than I did. Hmm...

nobody knows the ages of stangers first of all, secondly, how many kids are crying due to these low laff scrubs hijacking the elevators and causing hours of wasted time

Here's where I have to agree with you - there is a problem. However, your solution cannot be to become part of the problem! That's what you're doing - making it worse. Anyways I'd be willing to bet that most of the no-gag low laffers or 15s who grief everyone know exactly what they are doing.

now why would i want to be in an elevator with a weak toon like you

I'm sooo weak that I've pushed the VP over from the bottom of the first ramp unassisted... with my 40 laffer.

You, sir, are acting very ignorant. Calling all of us here "weak" and "unskilled" just shows how deep your ignorance runs.

Your writing style is familiar to me. mods, is this a new username for an someone currently here? Bunny, your "Frank" comments make me think that you suspect...

Good ole Ozzie Dandy

"you elitist."


"you betcha and proud of it"

You may be proud of your 111 laff, but guess what, no one here cares. Your attitude toward lower players put you at the bottom rung of respect as far as most of the people here are concerned. In the first place we all know that since this is a team game, making a Holly 50 could be done by almost anyone regardless of skill. All it takes is time.Your statement about going only with high laffers makes you suspect. I played VP once with another poster with the same attitude as you. His play was OK, but he had no problem solo caking an 11 cog that was lured. No wonder he only wanted to go with high laffers. When it was over he was as rude there as he is here. He told every girl toon “I like your skirt” and “let’s go to my house”. I was very flattered but I’m glad I was playing my pre-teens girl toon, instead of her. There are players who VP with toons with laff in the teens, 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s who will get more respect than you ever will. too bad you wouldn't VP with them, I'm sure they could teach you a few things.

[MK_Superknees]

Hey Bunny, I see what your overuse of the word "frank" is implying... quite suspicious.

Can the mods or admins run an IP check on the suspected accounts? I'd like to know if we have a Two-Face here.

And there is no way of knowing if the lower lp/cog suit in the VP is a player with other higher lp toons, or even a super noob in training. 3 or 4 maxxed toons can easily carry lower lp toons through the VP. I have done it myself with my many friends of mixed stages.

You are right. It has been a long time since I have been
a low laff and I guess a few things have changed.

[sue7118]

i am sorry to hear they are doing this to a lot of us. i have a level 50 hollywood, but have been working on a 103lp level 6 mover and shaker. i spend a lot of my time helping smaller toons get done what they need to do.stay in touch, we can set up a time and place to meet, i will be happy to put your son on both of my toons friends list.sometimes on weekends if my toon doesnt seem the same it is because my granddaughter is playing them. i will be back on about 5:30 or 6 tonite. maybe we can meet up them.my big toon is a blue cat, my small toon a purple rabbit,thou right now i am a white rabbit. hope to see you tonite and help with this problem.i have several toons i have met thru the forum and put on my friends list because some people forgot what it is to be smaller. good luck have fun.

Well J, I must have caught it from you then lol. Luna's lure is missing more lately then it ever has. And speaking as someone who knows you, I'd go in VP with your 40 laffer over alot of 100+ laffers anyday!

Second, I won't go out of my way to toon you up, but I won't avoid it. Third - sorry pal, it's either you or all of us. Note that these mistakes are ones where we tell you "No" "No!!!!" or something similar.

I give it my best, and have died trying to save the little guy - more than a few times, actually. But that's ok. I'd rather try and die than be a stuck up jerk. The times where I'm able to keep you going all the way through are rewarding to me, so I will keep doing it.

And don’t forget the times, where they do listen to the “let’s work together” “No’s” and “follow me” comments. I’m sure that’s why you don’t mind going with them in the first place. Its a lot more satisfying having helped someone learn strategy, than beating the VP with 7 Minglers and Hollywoods.

As long as I am paying for my subscription I'll get on the elevator with who I want when I want. And UMT they say birds of a feather flock together, reason being your skills or lack there of, are right there with the low laffers. Dont waste your time telling me how many toons you got, none of them are holly 50's so you havn't achieved the highest levels in the game on any of your toons. Im not interested in anything you have to say UMT.

If I see your son in the VP room with a cold caller 2 suit, I'll ditch him in the elevator because he don't belong there with 50 laff, thats a joke and an insult to all the other toons who payed their dues to be there.

I agree with the other post that states come back at 70 laff if you got some gags or be shuffled out. I don't discriminate due to age which we usually don't know anyway.

UMT dont bother to respond your points are worthless

Umm, GOOD ole Ozzie,

I hate to break it to you, but IT IS JUST A GAME!

What you said was just plain, flat out RUDE!

No, my big toon is not a Mr. Holly 50, but then again I have a life outside of Toontown.

I personally don't like to go to VP with ALL Cold Callers, because frankly, I am not the BEST player (so what!) But if you are a TOONTOWN MASTER (as you are claiming to be) what is the harm in letting a few Cold Callers go (if they have some gags)? I have been on VP runs with all high laff big cogtoons before and it wasn't that much fun. There was no challenge.

I think a REAL Toontown Master would know how to adjust his or her game around Cold Callers and Low Laffers without bailing out like a no good yellow bellied varmint.

[rkhooda]

I really thought we were done beating the dead horse. I guess not.

Who really cares what a dozen players here think anyway? People will do what people will do. No amount of arguments and counter arguments will change anything in the game.

To good ol ozzy, I say, play on as you want. Nobody cares how you play or what you have to say. I dont anyway.

To others that are taking up this silly challenge, just let it go. Really even if all 20 people on this thread decided to play one way or another, it wouldnt impact the game one electron.

I am going to say that most of the high suited toons that participate in the shuffle are very picky about who they go with. Most hollywoods will NOT go on the elevator with CCr's Hollywoods are the ones that create the most elevator shuffling. They will hop on with little guys and a couple of seconds before the doors shut they hop off. And after reading the rules of the CC guild, I find that there are a lot of their members that participate in activities that are banned by their group.

As for middies that are hollywoods, I have a hard time believing that others will call them names. How many toons really check the stats of Mr. Hollywoods? Not many. I know I don't. I DO look at their names.
My big toons are no where near Mr. Hollywoods but I do have hi end gags and I do know strategy. But sometimes I will look at a little toon's stats and I look at what is trying to go on the elevator and I think "No, I really can't help them." That's when I stand back and let others fight over the elevator.

I find that when I get on the first or second elevator in a crowded lobby, I end up with idiots and end up going sad.

When I wait and let the mess clear. Generally, I get in with a good bunch of vp Battlers. Good toons WILL stand aside and wait until the madness and the meaness clears out. I think patience is a good characteristic of a good vp battler.
