Sanity Check?

| I love the DA Offices. I also love exploratory dental work and food poisoning.
Actually, I do like the DA Offices. There are just way too many needed for the JN's, but that's another story. I like to do the puzzles, plus, and much more important for my TT playing pleasure: I love to watch 115+ toons doing the darnedest things in there! It seems (IMHO) that there was a wave of toons blasting through Law right after it opened. Cool and good for them. In general, there were some pretty darned dedicated toons rushing to max a toon or two or three, etc. We had the Shuffling Duck/Mouse/Insert Animal Name Here. We had constant complaining about the newbies (that's the nice way to say it, right?) causing the shuffle. And, we had the formula(s) for success laid out in detail for all to read. Now, again in IMHO, it seems to be difficult to get a "good" load to run an Office (if one is running with randoms). For all the friends, SF'ing, forums, and just plain experience inside the Offices, it is just a hoot for me to go in the Office and watch a 123 completely at a loss. I usually play late (10 pm - midnight Pacific time), so I'm pretty sure there aren't a lot of kids behind the other toons. Other than the odd lag problem or unintentional disco, I've experienced the: Oops - forgot to pick a gag (Sorry, I was delayed.), Oops - shouldn't have had 3 Fogs, Oops - should have had 2 Fogs, Oops - can't I solve the puzzle by running aimlessly thru to the button?, Oops - I only have a few minutes (on the second floor), Oops - the other toon refilled my Toon Up line just before a Fog Horn barrel, Oops - the other toon won't wait for an invasion, Oops - I get tooned up when I'm down to 110 when we needed a Cream Pie to dispatch an 11, Oops - I find the 110 laff toon I'm running with doesn't have maxed gags AND is using the DA for training, Oops - Use the Speedchat (when my SF and I are chatting to try to salvage all our toonie butts), Oops - the very rare true griefer, Oops - my fingers are getting tired... I very rarely don't complete an Office once started. Occasionally, I've finished with less than 4 toons (discos primarily). But, rather than getting upset with my fellow toonies, I embrace the experiences and try to help, guide, teach, laugh a little (or maybe a lot), and most important: have fun. I play this silly game for fun. My fun is mainly in goofing around with the other toonies (I like working on toonie goals too, though). I've had some absolutely hilarious moments and some of those not so nice moments when a true stinker has done something cruel. I have met, thru SF'ing and thru boards like this, some wonderful people (at least that's what they say). Yeah, I know I just outed myself as a sentimental (Did I say mental?) old guy. Okay, I don't care. If you see me hopping around the DA say Hi and Let's go, I'm usually up for the unknown. We'll probably finish the doggone thing and hopefully have a little fun on the way. BTW - my lure is working better now that TW has maxed in Sell! See you soon at the DA, Purplesmirk |
