VP team assembling confusion

[Murky]

The minute I logged on tonight I received requests to help VP. What a delignt, that's what I was hoping to do when I headed for the computer. But my joy turned to confusion as the chat boxes filled my screen faster than I could read them and I discovered multiple small teams wanting to go.
Why can't we put two small teams together?
Cuz.. they won't stay in the same district, they keep lookin for an emptier one, or they won't stay on the same elevator because they don't know each other, and they won't wait long enuf to meet each other and discover who is with who.
Cuz.. they distrust strangers that they would prefer to go as 4 than combine two teams of 4 and make a nice powerful 8.
Cuz...randoms wander in the door and see a team forming and join in, and everybody notices that there are too many now (not knowing if they are invited friends or randoms) and they either enter the elevator or leave the bldg.
Time... the long wait.. the talk bubbles all over mostly saying eeepy eepy, and the chat coming in from distant friends who are unaware that a very confusing flooding of important talk is filling the screen. My stress level skyrockets, and I hold on to hope that one set of my friends can meet another set of friends.. or even harder like tonight.. friends of a friend. (Wonderful ppl I haven't met yet, but want to... if I had a chance) So to those wonderful ppl who I didn't go with.. please accept my apologies, and try to understand that I wasn't being mean, but was muddled, confused, swamped in promises to help... and deeply distressed that the lack of communication was putting me in a guarenteed failure position. No way could I please two groups, or go with two groups... even if the sum of the two would be 7 or 8. I was wrong to agree to help the 2 nd group. I was wrong to anounce in the elev. I had to run and leave them, asking them to also restart, but they refused. The toon I had promised first and foremost, had stepped off the elv and was not present, nor were any of my friends, yet if I could back up the clock, I'd do it diff... starting with staying to do the 4 man with the strangers and please my friend who asked for my help. So this is an apology and an admission that I'm still learning the ropes of vp elevator techniques, which are much harder than pie aiming. My aim is to help.

Somehow, I KNOW I was part of this debacle (rofl)! Whenever I go on any toon, I almost always shout to you, Let's Go Fight the VP! and you are so popular, inevitably, others always appear....which is ALWAYS nice (especially when the lobby is full of ONLY cold callers)but, DEAR ME! To cause YOU to have stress like this.... is intolerable my dear! You are ALWAYS willing to help ANYONE and EVERYONE.... ANYTIME and I feel bad this happened to you but I feel certain NO ONE who knows you could possibly be UPSET with you-

I am extraordinarily impatient (imagine that) and even have 2nd Taxi toon like Princess or Aunt yelling "All Aboard" and "Catch Ya Later" to anyone within range... I had to turn toons on and off as well when we district jumped which AGAIN adds to the grouping up mess-as well as only being able to communicate on one toon to one person and one toon to another.... YIKES...

I once again advocate the old way- USE THE SPEEDCHAT...lol lol lol.. I get what your saying it would have been great for us all to go together and as it turned out we could have probably but ALOT MORE CONFUSION is created by the SF factor in these sitations so I try to keep the discussions around me to a minimum and the longer we stood outside chatting away the bigger and bigger the crowd and confusion seemed to get - I ABSOLUTELY feel it's imperative to land in HQ and get on the ELEVATOR as quickly as possible with a minimum of conversation and waiting around -albeit considerate- the longer it takes us to get on the elevator the worse it gets...waiting .. I have a feeling that was a HUGE part of it.
If someone doesn't make it, or acidentally gets left, since you are maxxed, you will always turn right around and take that party immediately back in- so NO ONE should be mad at the tooniest TOON of all- AND>>>
I hollar let's vp and you graciously come however NEVER EVER hesitate to bow out gracefully to go elsewhere as long as I'm not left with 7 cold callers lol- and if I happen to be left that way... you know my Motto- Bring IT ON!I'll go defeat the VP ALONE after all that confusion spurs my adrenlin ...
Deep Breath my dear! KEEP SMILING! You are one of the most helpful, nicest, non- gossiping, always positive TOONs in TT and I hate it you got stressed!!
