| Hmm...this IS a hard question! I don't go on CCG runs anymore, but when I *did* go, I only took one toon. I guess my feeling was, that I was there as a guest of a CCG member and wanted to make sure I was completely focused and my attention not divided. Playing two toons can be challenging, especially if your toons get put on opposite sides and both I and my friends who play two have on occassion, missed picking gags on one side or another. I've never had or heard of that being a cause of someone going sad, however I'm sure it puts additional burden on the other toons with me to cover for me not picking something.
That being said, normally when I CFO or VP I do take two toons, as do quite a few of my friends. I guess we all feel comfortable enough with that extra toon standing aside that it doesn't make a significant difference to us. One of the last CFO's I did, THREE of us took two toons with two other players, and it was one of the fastest CFO's I've gone on. I guess it would depend on your confidence in the abilities of the person playing two toons! Can they compensate for the one they put aside? Are they skilled enough to ensure a win with less than 8 toons? I think it all depends on your comfort level, some people are more than happy to go with just 4 toons while others want the full 8. If I were still going on CCG runs, I don't know if I'd take two toons or not. I think it would make a difference on how many inexperienced players were with me. As most of us know, you really only need a few good players to dance at the end, but for people who are just beginning to CFO or VP, they think they need the entire 8 and may consider the extra toon a slacker...leading to misunderstandings. In the end, I really think it's up to each person to decide what they want to do. I would gladly go on a run with anyone who plays two toons, but that's just me. 
Bnkzsahm PS Normally I'll stink my toon that I leave jumping at the end, as do my friends. Sheesh, that lazy toon just jumped the whole time and didn't help one bit!!  _________________ ~You know you're getting older when Happy Hour is a nap.~ Open: Mama Mondo 120 (Soundless), Monster Mom 120 Ida Zervbetter 120, Lucinda Streets 114 Sue Cherself 109, Chasen D Mowse 109 Baby 107, Ken U Seeme 107 Test: Upton O Good 107, Hawthorne N Yercyde 107 Meg Yermindup 104, Meg Yermindup 104, Phylis Officle 100, Haile Improbable 60 and many more... |
