Reminder for All testers old and new

[bigezy]

It seems they have somewhat increased the building generator because of the new toons on test.

A few kind words of advice. For toons both old and new alike.

Unless you have a task to do a building stay out of them. I have a toon in donalds dock right now that needs to defeat sellbots. Unfortunately, there are some antiscocial high laff toons teamed up determined to rid the server of all buildings. A 150+ building count for a 100 toon is obscene in test. If you want a floor count go to open. Dont expect me to ever VP with you. I know who you are, and I will remember you!

The end result there are no sellbots in donalds dock. I hope that the 2 story sellbot building you defeated to add to your 100+ floor count was worth the hours I will have to wait for sellbots to come back to the dock.

Gag train in the factory on test. What you are doing is selfish and not fair to other testers. I have maxed 2 toons on test in the factory. When my toons are done with the brrgh they stay out of buildings unless they are helping another toon.

All of Donalds Dreamland tasks can be done in the factory. And , quickly.

You have no reason to take building jobs once you are out of the brrgh. Shop Around!

Wow, that seems awfully harsh...

What's wrong with people taking building tests? Assuming they're maliciously trying to take down all the buildings because of the increased rate is kinda... malicious.

Agreed.

The increased spawn rate on Open is due to random district log ins, making
each district's population over 100 at any given time. Unfortunately, TEST
just simply does not have the numbers. It has nothing to do with building hogs
lol. Although, I don't see anything wrong with someone going on building-
crushing runs if that's how they choose to 'test' so-to-speak. Just have fun!

[Sally Kat]

The test is just for testing...if someone wants to do buildings, well that's fine too.
It's not about playing the game to see who gets a big toon first, it's about testing new features...sometimes they even ask us to make a new toon.

That happens all the time, part of being on test. Many times I've had to leave because I couldn't get something done, either no buildings or no toons.

Also, if you know who this is, why direct this at all of us?
Why not pm them...this is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing on test.

[bigezy]

I can understand if you want to lay waste to buildings. I disagree with Loosy, there is another system we all have access to called Open, there are 40 districts there to train gags and lay general waste.

I am working some low laff toons through playgrounds (testing the changes in the laff as stated in the release notes), and find it frustrating when I see 2 100+ laffers clearing streets in the dock. This make dock tasks harder for other toons who may be trying to build thier first test toon.

My poor toon gets to Daisys and finds the same toons clearing all the lawbot buildings on elm street. (What on earth does a 105 laffer need with a 2 Law)




While it is not necessarily wrong, it is not the most polite thing to do, in
consideration of the other testers and with the limited amoount of districts.

Sew your wild oats on open.

At the end of the day, if you see my 108 Hollywood 21 suit leave your VP fight you will know why, I dont play that way.

Cheers to the building crushers!

Perhaps my "testing" would go better if I just let loose and trained all my little toons primative gags in 4 stroy buildings like I do on open.

It doesn't seem that helping others and community are no longer a part of test.

Explain to me how I am suppose test a new feature (the required laff boost) if someone is clearing out every building in the game? And if it's not about who get the big toon first, then WHY is it okay for two 100+ laffers to lay waste to get their names on the board?

It happens all the time, part of being on test. Many times I've had to leave because I couldn't get something done, either no buildings or no toons.

So just because it has happened to you, it's okay? So if someone shoves me in a building and I sink because I was away from the keyboard, it's okay for me to do it to others? Yes that's an exaggeration, but I have toons I need to build gags on too, but I don't lay waste to buildings to do it.

Also, if you know who this is, why direct this at all of us?
Why not pm them...this is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing on test.

Maybe you missed this post about the exact same subject click here for thread about buildngs. This kind of play on the test server is selfish and rude. With more testers being added in the next few days, there will be an even greater need for these buildings for tasks. How is a new toon suppose to defeat a 2+ story building in the Dock if EVERY building is gone? If just two groups of toons do this (one in each district) then you are stuck. Sure that can be the way it is, but it's not the way it *HAS* to be. If we all were just a little more respecful of each other's needs, maybe this wouldn't be the way things are in test. It is one thing if you need these buildings but to go about taking down every building so you can get 200 floors is just uncalled for. (There are currently 3 toons with over 130 floors and one with 192 floors).

And as far as pm'ing the toon, if he know their toons names, how is he suppose to know their TTC name?

Whatever floats your boat.

Whether you work the factory or grind through buildings, both are valid styles of game play and adequately "test" the game. Inappropriate behavior; that's a problem which merits a report to Disney. I don't see much use on calling someone out because of their game playing style.

I don't expect anyone to conform to my style (assuming of course, someone can define my style) nor do I want anyone to be "just like me". I enjoy my encounters with most all toons while playing TT, so I continue to play. If I find I can no longer play my way and enjoy my interactions with other toons, I'll quit.

[bigezy]

I knew that saying anything about the buildings would incite feelings from those who know they are doing something to the detriment of others. If Disney wanted us to build our toons they would increase the building generator on test. They do these so folks can build small toons to big toons.

Not so a 100 laffers can have a pretty star.


Thanks selfish testers. You are right anything goes. Perhaps I should start playing that self centered selfish way too.

Small nit here, Melody...the game spawns buildings based on district
population. With more toons being added, more toons will be playing
on TEST, thereby triggering the game to spawn more buildings accordingly.
I've been on TEST when there would be days with only a handful of toons
online at any given time. This meant that building spawning was very slow.
At some times, those of us defeating the buildings were the only ones online!
Trust me, the BEST thing that can happen to TEST is for more people to
come online (100+).

I gotta say, the toon police are running amuck tonight, lol.

Listen up folks: Toons are supposed to restore Toontown! This applies moreso
on TEST than it does on Open. I don't care what their motive is, whether it's
a tough task to complete or a casual evening of building crushing (or even an
Iron-Toon run hehe), nobody should expect anyone to NOT take over buildings
because in so doing, they're revealing that they think their tasks/goals/desires
are more important than those taking over buildings. It's nonsensical (imo).

[LDFrecklepow]

I happen to be one of those with the gold star, and I did get confronted just now about my buildings and unfortunately, no matter what I said, this certain toon would not be appeased. I have a task for 400 2 story buildings. I didn't want it, it was a glitch. I reported it and asked it be removed. I moaned for a month. Then, this past weekend, I decided to take the bull by the horns, and finish it. Now, I am being told that I can't do that because we "stole" someone's sellbots?

I said I was sorry, I said I would help the new toon in any buildings he wanted, I said I would stay in only one district...no matter... I just "don't belong" down there. I finally realized, he has it in his head my friends and I are 'stealing' buildings for the star (it has nothing to do with the fact that we completed the brrrgh.. yes including ALL 20 4 stories) in less than one day. He will not be appeased, so I finally said I have my own tasks, they are not more important overall, but they ARE more important to ME. I also said I would just work on my own tasks, in one district. So now, I was told by that same toon, that I am being greedy and that he will play the same way now.

I choose to not take all 4 and 5 story buildings, because I want this task DONE. I'm not working fast to deny anyone, and in fact, I have worked the same streets over and over again because the buildings do go back down. So, for those of you who know who he is talking about and assume we are doing it for a high on the boards, you are wrong. We are task oriented and intend to finish these toons off before working our little ones. I "thought" that was part of the game... (course I 'also' thought disney would fix glitches like a 400 building task......)

I won't 'steal' a building from anyone, but my tasks are just as important to me as yours are to you.

[bigezy]

Good luck on your task. Congrats on doing the Brrgh in a day.

Perhaps, we both got a little upset. I am task orientated as well, and when I see 100 laffers causing me a delay for simple task such as defeat 2 sellbots in donalds dock of over an hour. I tend to get a bit upset.

You can play the game any way you wish. I look forward to the day you have the task done, then maybe I can get my little toon out of daisys garden.

I hope that no one has a glitched toon when you need to do the tasks I had delayed today.

[Loosy Goosy]

LDFrecklepow, you shouldn't have to apologize OR explain yourself to anyone.

The very presence of the Toon Platoon board in and of itself can be justifiable
motivation to defeat buildings, both on Test AND on Open. It doesn't make one
bit of difference whether you do it for the glory or do it for the tasks (such as
400 2+), folks might think the worst of you. It's no big deal really.

By the way LDFrecklepow, you couldn't steal a building if your tasks depended on it

And that's......all I have to say about that! Have fun, will ya?

[Aunt Petunia PoodleNoodle]

Ok

1st of all, I'm not a 100 laff toon, I'm a 64, trying to work tasks, just like everyone else.

2nd of all, How does one expect me to get my eagles out of SB HQ to finish these tasks? I had 2 tasks for 45 lawbots at once, and I needed 8 eagles for yet another task, as to why I was helping with the lawbot builds in DG.

I'm sorry that you are having a hard time finishing your tasks, but we are as well. I've waited days to get my 4s cash buildings to finish a task, on numerous toons, considering everyone seems to hit same task at once, and everyone is hunting at same time.

I try to "farm" a building to get what i need out of it first, but if you are in a 3 story building, it's pretty likely you're not going to get what you need til that top floor.

I think this is whole thread is silly. You're right, there is an Open server, the door works both ways. I only have one test account, whereas, there are numerous people who have numerous accounts, and have "help" whenever they need it. I on the other hand dont, so I choose to play when my friends are online and available to help me.

Anyway, I'll probably get slammed for my opinion, because I'm one of those toons on the board with a Gold Star right now, but all i can say is...

Welcome to ToonTown! where you'll never make everyone happy, but I still enjoy playing the game.

Happy Tooning

I doubt any of my toons are who your refering to, but....

First
Sorry, I'm not going to gag train in the factory.

Second
My 56 laffer (TEST) has been raiding 2 & 3 story buildings in Donalds Dock. I've been doing that on Test for year and a half. I'm responsible for some of those.

I play by myself almost 99% of the time there. My first 3 or 4 toons didn't grow up in the factory/VP era. I don't enjoy that part of the game at all.

The biggest reason most of us dedicated tester enjoy Test, is so that we don't have to deal with issues like this.

I will take any building any time I want to. I do it to test things out. That's my job there. I'm not on Test to max toons. I'm there to test. I'm sorry if that gets in your way a little. The buildings will spawn eventually, and you'll finish your task. There are other things you can do besides your tasks that are just as fun. I've been holding the same task for LOM I for three months now.

I don't want to play on Open. I'm fed up with Open. Open is so full of snobby players, players who think they are much better than they really are.

There are currently 3 Sellbot buildings in DD right now.
One 4 story Sell on Lighthouse Lane / Test Valley

One 2 Story Sell on Lighthouse Lane / Test Town
One 3 Story Sell on Seaweed Street / Test Town

After reading your post, I kind of feel like bringing them down.
I'm not going to, but I am tempted

[LDFrecklepow]

Thanks Loosey

UMT...?
I still need 134 more buildings. Want me to get them out of there for you?
