Hihi!!

It's been a while hasn't it? I haven't posted on this blog since 2022, which was 2 whole years ago! I can't believe how much has changed since then.

Let's get this out of the way: I'm not quitting Toowntown Rewritten any time soon. I might not post frequently, but as long as my toon isn't maxed, you'll see posts here, and I got quite some time before I max out my toon.

Anyways, back to the fun stuff! A lot has changed since I sort of abandoned my blog lol. I didn't stop playing, but I just stopped posting, which is kinda the same thing. I've made a ton of progress in the game, like maxing out golfing and fishing! I've also started to grind out my suits more seriously and am proud to tell y'all that I'm a level 21 hollywood v2, a level 8 robber baron, a level 5 backstabber and a level 7 headhunter! I've come a long way from my 116 laff self. I'm also finishing up my smasher set for the toon resistance lol. It's hard to believe just yesterday I logged off the game thinking that I would never do the level 18 cog task, but I somehow managed to do it lol.

Like my friend @a-song-of-flowers, I have had a lot of anger and frustration towards some players, but hopefully playing at my own speed and how I want will change that. I don't have as much time to play for hours on end anymore, which I suppose is much healthier for me. Maybe I can be the older toon that some players need while on their journeys, or maybe I'll be that old uncle who comes by every so often, drops a hundred bucks and then leaves lol.

Whatever it is, I hope you all will be on that journey with me as I try to max out my first and last toon (I cannot be bothered to do all of the grinding again). I am considering to finish the taskline once more with another toon though just to see what drop is like since this toon of mine is dropless.

I'll see you guys on my next post!

Here’s a friendly little warning about a player named Peanut Bananagadget. Normally I wouldn’t be as rude and directly talk about a person like this, but y’all don’t be in a group with them. Please. In the CEO i was doing this afternoon, my side of the team wasn’t exactly following the standard 1 fog per round rule, but the other 2 people in the team didn’t have a problem with this. They promptly threw a fit and asked if that was the way we were going to continue playing. When we said that we weren’t going to rigidly stick to it, he said “welp see you” and left the fight. Later during the fight, the other dog saw him in a another group on toonhq. Please, higher toons don’t be like this, and lower toons, be wary of this person.

ripley: * has heartfelt moment with flippy where he assures her she will be able to run the resistance and that she's sweet and inspiring *

also ripley: "go fight a field office that may or may not kill you ok have fun"

alternatively ripley: "aww does baby want a rank up? WELL YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK FOR IT SO I'M SENDING YOU TO THIS NICE LITTLE PLACE WITH COGS THAT GO BEYOND LEVEL 12 AND A FINAL BOSS THAT TAKES AWAY YOUR GAGS AND LAFF LIKE IT'S NO TOMORROW"

Post 2/2! More shenanigans in the cfo fight with @a-song-of-flowers 

The people we were with were truly amazing and hilarious to play with, so good job team! (If you happen to be a player dm me and i’ll @ you and include you in this post)

(Post 1/2, more to be added but)

I just had to share these sses i got from doing a cfo with @a-song-of-flowers. she made a a few funny comments, but the group we were honestly a goldmine of comedy.

i think it’s finally time i share what happened with the field office i did with @a-song-of-flowers. it happened a few days ago, so not everything is going to be fresh on my mind, but i’ll do my best to recall the events as they happened.

 this all began when rose and i entered the final story of the fo, with the boiler. for those unaware, the field office has 5 stories, with two stories filled with battles and two filled with some sort of minigame designed to help you unlock gag tracks since you aren’t allowed all of them in the beginning. my laff is pretty high, im probably missing maybe 10 laff points at the most. this battle was awful for everyone, especially me. 

the boiler boss was a 2 star and kept on attacking me and i lost so much laff so quickly. my laff went down to less than 30 and i asked kindly for a toon-up, which rose gave me. it didnt help much though because the next round i went back to the laff i was just at, to which rose tried again for a toon-up, but failed. i thought i was going to be okay, but when i saw what was happening, i knew it wasn’t going to be okay. 

i begged my team for a unite, but it fell on deaf ears because no one gave it. rose later told me she didnt have any tu unites or she def would have used one. to one’s surprise, i went sad and was sent back to the brrgh to get my laff back, but of course, i lost all of my gags, including all my level 7 gags, which i had for each track. thankfully, i was able to get them back easily because i had organic trap and the rest were at 0 to go. 

it doesnt change the fact that bc players were cheap or didn’t want to listen, i went sad. as a higher level toon, it’s unacceptable that i went sad. im not saying that im angry about the gags. im angry that they thought it was okay to do that. what if i was a smaller toon, with less laff and that was my first fo? i def wouldnt want any toon to feel like it’s their fault the battle went sour when it wasn’t. as a higher laff toon, its your responsibility to first listen and to help your team. you should know better, especially with a facility like a fo. 

lesson of the story: listen to your team and their needs. it’s not like it was one toon screwing things up for everyone. it was 2 toons. please don’t do this to other players.

me: grinding out level after level just to earn 2 stupid trophies, getting no trophies.

my alt: barely trying, gets 4 for doing almost nothing

[thunder-and-lighting]

imagine doing 3 2 star field offices for ripley, just so they can have some stupid trading card. oh wait. thats exactly what happened -_-

this was originally sent to my friend rose flowersong (@a-song-of-flowers) but i really wanted to share these memes i made :D. they’re all about how ripley and those pesky resistance rangers wont freaking pay us for the work we do 😤like come on dude, i go out and defeat cog after cog, but noooooooooooooo you cant find the money to pay me back for the gags i do, i see how it is.

[thunder-and-lighting]

ah, my friend rose flowersong and I play together a lot, and it’s been a running joke for us to say this to each other when we get a task done, due to the npcs never paying us for the work we do. ah well, what did we expect? if they cant defeat a few robots in their free time, how can they find the money to pay us??
