I have been thinkingt about this. It's not just my uber in training that people are hesitant to go in buildings with but people are hesitant to go in with any uber in training. Most people I am refering to are of VERY high laff 90's 100's even 110's. Are they afraid of the guilt that they might fel if the uber in training dies? Or do they just go in with people after looking at laff regardless of gags?

I do not have an uber, so I'm only speaking from the other side and my opinion. No, I am not afraid to go into a building or "Battle" with an uber. Actually, I have found ubers, for the most part, to be excellent/above average players. I do worry if I am in with randoms, that they may be picking gags for self-serving purposes rather then working as a team with the uber toon. I do find my motherly instincts kicking in during, say, the pie round, and will have the uber up on my screen at all times. It seems I am more concerned with their laff then they are. They know what their own danger point is and/or comfort level, and I tend to jump in prematurally, which I now will ask you this... Does that insult ubers or wreck their fun? (When another toon goes and tu's when you are feeling perfectly comfortable?) I have always wondered that, because I don't want to "insult" anybody either. I really don't mind going sad myself, knowing I have tried my best, but I do always worry about OTHERS going sad. There are people behind toons, and we are all different... But for the most part, I would assume people who decide to make ubers, are trying to further challenge themselves, (and know the risks), so, no, I do not hesitate to go anywhere with them and do my best to work as a team to have a successful run for all. (This does not mean I can always do the math or don't sometimes delay or make stupid choices, but my heart is always in the right place).

I think this varies a lot per toon. One thing, it is hard to tell if a toon is an 'uber-in-training' or just a toon with low laff and weak gags . Generally, I will go into building or factory or whatever with most any toon. Mints, I tend to be a bit more picky because of the time involved. If the toon plays well and isn't nutty, then I will use a Unite to save them if I have one. If they continually make bad choices and get themselves targeted for attack, they are on their own (such as whistle blowing on lured 12s or some such nonsense!).

Personally, my uber doesn't feel bad if you are overprotective of her . Although, she tends to only VP with other ubers so you don't see much of her.

I played in the mint the other day with an Uber-17. The first gag he played was a birthday cake . so I thought oops uber, He played very well and I kept watching to protect him. We(4 of us) were doing fine when all of a sudden a gag got mean and one swoop and he was gone. I felt soooooooo bad. Probably worse then he did.

I have a soft spot, (probably on the top of my head, from being dropped, or thumped on meh head by lovely wife), for low laffers. So I go out of my way to help so-called ubers in training.

It can get tricky if 2-3 Ubers in Training board factory, 5 story or mint, and 1 or 2 disconnect. This can be a risk if I'm playing a low laffer also. If I'm playing a big toon the only concern I have is time, which is not a big factor mostly
There are occassions where I have limited time (eg. 30-40 min to do a bullion or 15 min for a factory), before I have to pick up/drop off kids or get on a call. or whatever Then I may not jump on.

In the VP the only hesitation I may have is if I am playing an uber, and the load is light (4 or less toons) or someone disconnects.

I have no problem going into buildings or boss battles with ubers-N-training (U.I.T.). I find them, like another poster above, to be excellent at what they do. The trick to knowing who the difference between a U.I.T. and someone who's growing a "standard" toon is evident in their gag level per laff. Frankly, I adopt the attitude of "if the laff + gag level is sufficient with mine to get a typical job done, I don't care". Of course this predisposes the checking of gag levels before embarking on a task like, say, a lvl 5 DDL building or mint. However, I usually take the track of building my gags instead of concentrating on tasks, so my gags are usually a bit beefier al my lower laff levels. No doubt some of my toons have been mistaken as a U.I.T. in past encounters.

As for playing with Ubers, U.I.T.'S, of lower laffers, I'm really quite happy to. If they a tolerate a laggy ole hound dawg, wabbit, or Sooo-pig who's easily distracted and tends to self-grief for the sake of gag building, we'll get along just fine. Incidentally, if I die because of them, I will assess whether I try it again or whether it was a fluke incident.

After all, it's a game of fun not exclusion, right? Oh there i go meddling again, sorry...

Sorry.What I meant by U.I.T. was that the U.I.T. was on their way( not in the bike horn and whistle stage). If you look at my signiture Whoopsie Daisy is what I call an uber-in-training. Their gags: 3 TU, 5 throw, 5 squirt, and 4 drop. I tend to stay away from front 3's, DA A's, Mints, and DDL buildings( for the sake of not getting turned down). About the thing in the parenthaseseseses, or however it's spelled. I have known many DDL building toons to be bitter and mean.

I wound up in a building once with a 44 laff point uber. Awesome player. No, ubers do not scare me, I love them, but I don't see them enough. If anybody wants some help with their uber, give me a holler, I'll be more than happy to help.

Twice I have gone sad tooning up a low laffer(both in their 50's) who was either too stupid or too stubborn to pass when I told them to. I completely understand being stupid and stubborn (I excel at both) but from now on when I tell a low laffer to pass, if they don't do what I tell them they can bend over and kiss their happiness good bye. If it's a new toon (20 or under) I will not let them go sad ever as my kids (4 year old twins) are both new toons and while they are afraid to go into buildings they hate getting sad. I can't stand the thought of a little kid going sad just because I want to win a stupid game.

I sure do wish that Disney would throw up a few more cog buildings in Toontown Central for the little ones to enjoy defeating. (I know, I know...I completely jumped off topic.)

Naw, ubers-in-training don't scare me. Since I have a toon in training as an uber for the first time, I do appreciate when people understand that you know what you're doing. Often times before a factory or VP, I generally try to say things rather fast just so they can kind of understand that I'm not new in this game since I do the speedchat fast and that I know what I'm doing. It usually works, but sometimes people just may not get it, even if I already have high gags. I too, like other people have said, watch the uber's profile on my screen in the boss battle just to see if I need to give them more laff points when their laff is getting low.

I was working on my uber-in-training today and everyone was so nice and helpful. I did scare 1 toon who wouldn't get in a 3 story building with me and a 98 laffer, oh well, whatever. Everytime I went sad (which are too many times to count) people were really nice in the playground. Made lots of friends---from low to high laffers!
When I play my bigger toons alongside an uber, I worry about doing something dumb and making them go sad. Everyone I've played with has been great, though.

No, im not scared of them. I love those fine folks. Its intresting to see their battle tactics with low gags.
