Just now in Cashbot HQ and I see a bunch of toons hanging out on the tracks getting smooshed. I check - their laff points are going down down down... We're not talking newbies - one who went sad was 128 laff! Is there something cool about doing this?!?! Maybe I'm missing something, I don't know... We're talking at least 10 toons.

It takes so long to heal, I just don't know why you'd do that on purpose!

Well, if you want to walk the same speed as a Cog, getting smooshed and ALT-F4ing out before you get to the playground makes you sad in the HQ. Goons will do the same thing in Sellbot HQ and Lawbot HQ. That gets you walking slow, so the Cog Suits walk the same as a Cog. Other than that, they're just having a party.

Off topic: In other news, I recently encountered another One Story Nightmare (See the Screenshots & Stories forum) in Donald's Dream Land. This time I went in with a 64 Laffer, and the building was Bossbot. Waves and waves of Cogs again, but this time we came prepared. We squashed the three Level 12 The Big Cheeses and some other random Cogs. Of course, what would it be without a Level 1 Flunky standing with a Corporate Raider's arm on its head? The building, just like those poor/happy Toons, was smooshed.

One particularly bad day last year, my friend John and I were just ticked at the world. Both of us were "topping" each other about how much life sucked at that point in time. We needed a way to get it out of our system, so we devised a game.

We ran over to Cash HQ. Here were the rules. There was no stopping... none whatsoever. You just run and run and run and hope you get squashed by a train. You were not allowed to pause before, on, or after the tracks to give yourself a better shot at getting squashed. You could also not turn around to catch a train but had to run forward only. We had a "judge" there to watch us. If anyone stopped or turned around, they were automatically disqualified. We ran for at least 10 minutes up and down those train tracks. Part of the focusing on one thing helped relieve stress, the SQUOOSH of the train running over you relieved some of the stress, the race to get to a train before it passed by relieved some of the stress. In the end, we both went sad at the same time. I still say I should have won because I was 123 laff at the time and he was 106.

That looks like a fun game. I should play it sometime and you don't lose your gags =)

Thats really retarted if you ask me! They pretty much lost life, gags (including the big gags) and they have to take all their time to get their gags back. This is obviously not cool or something to do.

Oooh, I feel special that I saw the first one. Not something I'll participate in, but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Is it true you don't lose your gags doing this?? How so?

Ok - there are clearly more ways to have 'fun' on Toontown than I thought
I'd definitely want confirmation that you don't lose your gags, though (I don't mind the usual ones but I'm feeling mighty protective of my level 7 gags these days!).

Loopy - another way that is easy to toon up is to have completed tasks. Once a toon is done with the mandatory tasks, I always take simple 'Just for Fun' tasks for cogs. So, I generally have 2 or 3 completed ones at a time. This way, a simple trip to HQ Officer will fix me right up! Certainly helps with revenge runs!!
