There is no reason to go sad using the lure left kill right strategy and only killing the bigger cogs and saving the level 1-4's to limit the cogs in the first battle.

Since I'm a Hollywood I'll start by defending some of us. Merit runs are tedious ways of spending your gaming time. They are boring, usually compromised of sound x 11, dance, restock, and repeat. Hollywoods for the most part would like to spend as little time in the factory as possible, since that's where we are most of the time. Let's face some simple facts some of you are overlooking. The more high laffers you enter the VP with, the higher your odds are of winning. We, like most everyone in the world, will try to take the easiest route to get to the goal. Who do you want, a 50lp or a 100lp? You can't argue that. The higher the gags a toon possesses creates that toons worth for the VP fight hence it's the higher lp toons that have the higher trained gags. We've all seen bananas and rakes thrown in front of level 12 skelecogs and it isn't the high laffers doing it.

That leads me to another point. Lower lp toons have a tendency to want to train their gags during the VP rounds, especially sound on lured cogs. Higher lp toons are less likely to do this because A) they probably have high level gags and B) they probably know better. Keep in mind I said probably, we all know there are exceptions to every rule.

If someone is using a 2nd or 3rd character, we have no way of knowing that. We can only go by their lp and their gags. We can't tell age or experience in the VP lobby. I don't mind going with up to 2 low lp toons. It makes killing high level cogs harder, but as long as teamwork is used it's not a problem. I came up with 2 because if they are on the same side, at least 2 other toons with them will have high level toon-up.

LoonyToony it sounds like you are knowledgable about this game and the elevator shuffle so I have to ask, why would you let your son go to the VP elevator with such a low laffer knowing that what happened was probably going to happen? Unless you had no knowledge of the elevator shuffle you can't possibly be suprised at the treatment a low laffer receives in there. 1 missed lure and every low laffer is sad where a high laffer would survive. Why not have your son join the cold callers guild?

There are alot of high laffers who are jerks. There are alot of low laffers who are jerks. People need to accept that everybody is different. People don't have the same ideals and morals. You can't expect everyone to play like you. People play like who they are and it is your responsibility to learn, sometimes the hard way, which ones are not of your liking and avoid them. In a perfect world when there are 8 toons at the elevator, 8 toons enter but we know that will never happen. If Disney ever created elevator locks where once you're on you can't get off people would just create their party of 8 in the HQ yard first. I like having the choice of who I fight with whether its at the VP or the factory.

If you dont like doing the Merit tasks why whould you want to breeze thru the VP just to go around again and again? The lower laffers makes it challanging in my opinion, as a Hollywood I would think it pretty boring doing it over and over.

As far as the elevator shuffel yeah I aware of it, but we do allow my son to play alone on toontown, its the only place online hes allowed. But recently the elevator shuffel and the VP has had many more MEAN people than he was accostomed to (I knowticed this all over HQ latley). And keep in mind this was 7 other larger toons and him nobody else in thelobby, not like multiple small laffers were trying to board. he reason the small laffers are able to get into the VP is to promoter toonwide teamwork, not segregate toons into small toons and large toons or there would be another task or training that would require larger laff points to enter. Some people seem to miss the point of toontown overall Its about TeamWork! I know most of these larger toons would in real life give the shirt off their back to help out a kid, but because its online and they can do it fairley annomously they are mean in my opinion. Play as you like if fine by me just please dont be mean!
