Remember this is only a game! That is what I keep telling myself. I have been playing TT for over a year now but I am fairly new to TTF. I use TT to keep connected with my children since we don't live together and I travel a lot. My oldest has found more interest in Webkins, my youngest only likes Goofy's Speedway and my middle child (who just turned 9) has out grown TT; yet I am still stuck here. Remember this is only a game!

I have found your Cog runs to be very useful and they make my trek towards "ToonMaster of the Universe" much more quicker. Wink

However I have a point of discussion for you Toons out there if you care to share your comments.

I see there are other posts on some of the players pet peaves. Yes I don't like Toons that will use other Toons for their own agenda (see “Slacker Toons in the Factory” by bugaboodan http://www.toontownfriends.com/toontown-discussion5617.html) I also don't like it when inexperienced Toons try to take command/control of the battle. I was in a run to battle the Sellbot Forman the other day and this young Toon, in laugh points, was telling the rest of us to use sound during every battle, then in turn he uses throw or squirt at the weakest cog making his choice ineffective. This greatly slowed down our progress.

But the point that I would like to discuss today (yes I know I am taking a long time to get to my point) is from the 10:30pm VP run yesterday (Saturday). Some may think that there is confliction between two of the CCG Guidelines listed below.

Guideline
Taking cogs out 1 at time using "Lure left/kill right" is the preferred strategy of the CCG. This protects all toons but especially low-laff toons…

Guideline
...Use a gag only if you are certain you have enough backup for a kill. Throw and squirt are the attack gags relied on most. Often it is better to combine same kind gags for a kill rather than mix gags and risk one missing.

In both battles I was stuck with this Toon that had 34 LP. She was also maxed out in tune-up, lure, throw, & squirt. So obviously this Toon had some experience whether being young or old. Assumably her quest was to be a Maxed Out Sellbot with the lowest LP - good for her. What annoyed me was this Toon kept on saying "Lets all go for the same Cog." This Toon would have a fit saying things like "No", "You should choose a different Cog" and "Lets all go for the same Cog." If everyone didn't go for the same Cog then she would pull her gag. At one point she even pulled her lure because I threw a trap at a different cog. In both battles (lower and upper level) our side was the last to finish and on the upper level battle when the other side came over to us we still had 4 untouched level 11/12 cogs to destroy. Also, everytime this Toon was hit I would tune her up to 100%. IMPORTANT NOTE: All Toons made it out of this run alive.

Now I have been to Toon University, I excelled at Toon Mathematics 101, Cog Geometry, and Advanced Cog Physics; Mickey even placed me on his Deans list. So I know that 2 crème pies will kill a level 6 cog, 3 fire hoses will kill a level 8 cog, and my birthday cake or dynamite will kill a level 10 lured cog. My philosophy in a Toon Battle is to go through them quickly, make sure all Toon come out alive, and help out the inexperienced Toons.

I keep telling myself remember this is only a game! Thanks for listening to my rambling, I hope I didn't offend anyone and I appreciate all comments; both good and bad. Hey if you think I am wrong then tell me I am wrong
