Dear Toons: It's up to us...

[melodyelectrospeed]

Durin the last few days, I've come to a realization.

It's really not the fact that I will have to run through the D office about 10 times (if I'm lucky to end with an invasion) to get the 14,400 notices when I get to that point. It's the people I have the fortune or misfortune, as the case may be, to run with.

If it is a "good" group (Toons that can be nice, joke around and have fun as well as knowing the right strategies to get us all through it alive) then the time in there seems to fly for me. At least, those groups make DA's fun and bearable. I'm even getting better at the puzzles, so they aren't as intimidating as they used to be for me. (And if I trip the holocogs, I will not hesitate to use my level 7's or good SOS cards).

But, if it is a "bad" group (Toons not joining battles on purpose, being nasty, etc.) then it drags and it's not fun.

It is true that we can't control how other people act (or our control is limited; it is possible to teach other toons a lesson or two ). But we can control ourselves.

I think it is important to remember that how much fun we have is up to us. All of us. I think many of you already know this, but maybe an equal number do not or they just don't care. For the last group; there may be no help for them.

How right you are! With a good group, even a bad battle is fun. I did a DA where the lag was so bad we were constantly stepping on each other's gags. No one got mad, no stinking, just the attitude we are all in this together so let's figure out how to win.

You got that right

Its not about "winning" the argument about who gets to use what gag and whatever other foolishness people obsess over.... its about having fun.

So simply said... DON'T FORGET TO LAUGH!!!

Whether its at yourself or with a friend or just at how horrible that run was... just have fun
