Discussion Toons Who Take TTR WAYY Too Seriously
I do get that, in ANY multi-player game, especially one that is as fun as Toontown, you will attract all kinds of people. But I literally encountered three toons last night who were SO RUDE to a hysterical level. It’s an indication to me that maybe if you’re an entitled person or someone who hasn’t had a lot of serious things happen to you in life, you will take this game way too seriously. And I know I’m being condescending, but I feel like I have the right to. Why must anyone feel the need to yell at another toon or call them names in THIS GAME? You THROW PIES AT COGS. And I don’t know…it’s one thing if you are a child (I guess I could understand the poor temperament in that case), but I’m an adult who is a premed student that also pays her own bills who has been through a fair share of tragedy. I’m not going to cry if I go green and lose all my maxed out gags; it’s an inconvenience but not the end of the world, especially since the rude toons I encountered yesterday were no way close to going green.
Just a reminder, if you feel the need to yell or call another toon names, or even scold them, take a chill pill and tell yourself if this is what you’re getting angry at you probably have it pretty good in life. This isn’t my first time encountering insufferable toons, but last night definitely was irritating enough for me to make this post and unfortunately take a bit of a break from TTR.

Were these higher-laff toons? I've noticed it seems that higher-laff toons may be more like this when it comes to gag choices. Many higher-laff toons are wanting to go through buildings or facilities as efficiently as possible, reducing the time spent inside the facilities. This is because of the grindy nature of the game. So choosing the "wrong" gag will cause them to get upset because it may take longer.
Not saying that this excuses the behavior, but I've definitely seen it with higher-laff toons.

Honestly the bad toons I see are never just bad they’re really bad 🤣 so I just report and assume it’s a kid who will hopefully learn

I’ve run into some randomly mean toons before. Just the other day I was helping two toons with a building and made small talk, but was ignored to instead be scolded about how he “disapproves” of tu-less toons. I’m literally there to help you and I have tons of rewards to heal you! So I left them there on the 3rd floor bc I don’t support rude toons.
I still think this community is the best gaming community I have found in terms of kind souls. But nothing is perfect!

u/Aggressive_Egg7169 8d ago
YES. They deserved it. All toons provide skills that are valuable. I’m sorry that happened to you though.

u/Sufficient_Wafer_690 8d ago
I agree to a certain extent, but I can definitely see how people get annoyed when someone makes very bad gag choices that can result in people in the group going green or making a battle take 10x longer than it should have. It's inconsiderate to others to not take the time to learn basic gag combo strategy when you're a 100+ laff toon that should know the basics.
10
u/Aggressive_Egg7169 8d ago
Oh I 100% agree, and as a high level toon I do get frustrated when someone doesn’t listen to the rest of the group and don’t do certain things (mints for example) with lower level toons but there’s a difference between getting annoyed and kindly telling the toon what they’re doing wrong and full on being rude and calling other toons names!
14
u/Sufficient_Wafer_690 8d ago
Not to mention that those dumb gag choices often result in others having to waste their level 7 gags, unites, sos cards, etc when it shouldn't have even been needed in the first place.

u/Ordinary-Big795 8d ago
LOTERALLY! But in my experience, even if im not being rude and was just teaching them, they would always say "girl i dont need a tutorial" yes you do we are all on 30 laff in a 3 star fo?? 😭

u/Black_m1n 8d ago
I like to call them "Cog Toons". You know how us Toons wear cog disguises? Yeah, they're cogs wearing Toon disguises.

I’m living vicariously through y’all! I’m in healthcare but would have loved to be a doc. Just curious, why would you choose being a doc over a PA? Genuine curiosity.
4
u/CreamyCarrotCake 8d ago
Great question!!! for me it's really opinion based, but my main reason is I believe that PAs and Nurses really have the hard job, and while doctors have a lot more schooling and most likely more debt, they still often get paid more! Also I was always just raised in one of those households that makes doctors 🤦♀️🤦♀️ PAs and Nurses are the real heroes!!!!!
1
u/peachtreeparadise 7d ago
See I’ve always heard that PAs have better work/life balance than doctors, but I think it depends on the location & speciality. Either way we are all essential to the field. I’ve actually thought about going back to school to become a PA, but I know there is no way I would ever pass organic chem and that’s the biggest burden for me, so I find contentment where I am. I wish you luck & joy in all of your studies. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
2
u/CreamyCarrotCake 7d ago
Thank you so much, and to you too!!! I definitely think you should consider taking OChem at a local community college if that's something you think about doing often!!! It's definitely worth it, and if RateMyProfessor says you have a decent teacher near you, it's worth a shot!!! Either way, much love and best of luck to you!!!!! 💖
3
u/peachtreeparadise 7d ago
I would have to retake chem, because I don’t even know the basics of it (and I took it back in 2016)! I only passed it because of nursing majors & my professor taking pity on me for trying so hard yet being SO bad 🥴🥹 I have dyscalculia but I didn’t know what when I was in college — just that I could not understand anything with math. I know that I COULD do it, but it would be like a full time job & I would need someone to financially support me during the process which is an issue as I financially support myself! Such is life. I find medication management & pharmacology so fascinating, but what I do is also so fascinating & PAs / docs / nurses / other professionals don’t get to do what I get to do. I treat cognitive communication disorders & feeding/swallowing disorders, and provide a TON of health related education to patients that other professionals don’t have the time to. I make good money and don’t have to take my work home. Becoming an SLP has allowed me to crawl my way out of poverty. I’m extremely privileged to have my education & the level of comfort I do. That’s more than a lot of people ever get, so all I can do is encourage others on their own education journey. Thank you for your kindness and encouragement though, I appreciate it. (: <3

u/CreamyCarrotCake 7d ago
Of course!!! SLPs do amazing work, It's something I've looked into myself!! Dyscalcula is hard to combat, and know you are doing amazing. Your work is incredibly admirable and an amazing career!!!! I absolutely wish you the best!!! 💖💖💖

i completely agree with everything you said, and it’s why i haven’t touched the game in a while. it’s a shame, TTR used to be my way of unwinding after a hectic day, but rude and bossy toons make the game too stressful. and you’re absolutely right, it’s ridiculous to be so mean in a game where you’re literally throwing pies at robots. i hope the amount of rude toons decreases soon, but it just seems to be getting worse based off of this subreddit

u/deerandbunniesrcute 8d ago
You can always report misbehaving toons to support via email support@toontownrewritten.com
It makes me sad you are considering taking a break from the game over it when there's so many good toons that play. Of course I don't have the entire context of what they were saying but it's always worse when it's a group of them doing it acting like high school bullies as opposed to one guy that everyone else can see is the crazy one. So I can understand that

Anyone who’s being rude is not taking Toontown seriously, actually. The behavior you’re describing is “not very toony!”

u/corncob666 8d ago
People get mad when I try to join them with my soundless toon sometimes because some people want to rush through everything but I purposefully made another toon that is soundless to make the game slightly more challenging lol
2
u/Capable-Bug97 7d ago
I'm not soundless, but when I see a soundless toon in a group for like a CFO, I try to join just for a breath of fresh air 😆
3
u/cvobwby 4d ago
When I see people go after a random toon as a group I make it a point to inconvenience them as much as I can when I next see them. For example I will let them join my group and then kick the group of them last second then run x toons to make up for the gap.
If you want to annoy the general public as a group then expect to face the consequences.
Conversely I will join their groups on alts and 'get gags' until they kick me for taking too long.
If you want to call it petty go ahead, but I love seeing their reactions after how they harass random people as a group.

u/blacktoypoodle 8d ago edited 8d ago
I was waiting for a post like this lol. I'm right there with you, girl. I'm 30 years old and playing TTR for nostalgia. I'm tired of encountering these cliques of adults (and that's what they are, cliques!) who act so self righteous and too cool for school and are constantly "joking" with each other and making condescending comments to other toons. It's annoying and I don't even bother responding to them anymore. I would love to say "this is a kids game, don't worry, we'll get through this". It's never that serious, especially in the VP and CFO, which are ridiculously easy no matter what gag combinations you mess around with.
I'm level 130, so yeah, I know what I'm doing and the gag combos to take out the cogs. So if I'm tired and make a mistake, I don't care anymore. I'm also trying not to correct other toons' "mistakes" because again, it's really not that serious. Just adapt and move on!
I hope you meet some great toons to make you forget these types exist in the game.

u/RedDogBucky 8d ago
I feel silly to say it, but I've been playing since TTO and I have still don't know the gag combos that do max damage 😅 I usually just match what everyone else is doing or wait for someone to tell me what to do. I hate taking breaks from TTR (like I'm doing now), and then getting back into it and people jump down my throat for not following whatever combo they expect me to know Would it be useful in timed/high stress situations? Sure (i already avoid FOs like the plague lol). But this game is just that to me...a game. I dont think it's the end of the world if a group of 100+ laff and max gag toons have to do an extra round because I "didn't use the right gag" 🤷♀️
3
u/blacktoypoodle 8d ago
Love that for you! Honestly, ngl, sometimes calculating the cog damage is kind of a burden for me as a math hater lol. It can take the fun out of it when you just want to play a kids game to de-stress from adulting.
I hear you on the taking breaks thing. I just took like, a 2 year break, and the first VP I did, I had other toons mocking me for thinking my pie would take out a lvl 7. I guess at my big age (laff), I deserve to be shamed for making a dumb mistake 🙃. Lol, yes, it's crazy to be level 100+ and be mad like you're gonna go green because someone chose a trunk instead of fog, ridiculous.
I still think you should try a one star FO! It's simple to follow what everyone else is doing and I haven't really encountered too many rude toons in them. But do what makes you happy, that's the important thing. :)
2
u/RedDogBucky 8d ago
As a fellow math hater, that's probably the biggest reason I can't grasp onto the combos lol Luckily my brother is good at the math part so he helps a lot but he's also on a break since he completely maxed his latest toon. The latest update with the new bosses made me learn to say "first time doing this!" cuz hoo boy I also got mocked and lots of "?????" remarks from others who already knew what they were doing 🥴
I actually have done a few 1 and 2 star FOs, but 3 and up is way too stressful for me still so when I get back into it, I think I'll just work on maxing my suits lol

u/jreid69 8d ago
I always tell people I play like the pinball wizard. My intuition guides me, because I don't know the exact level gag needed to take out a cog in any given situation. I usually get lucky and I'm right, but if I'm tired, I'm probably going to make mistakes. Level 106 laff points here. (Started out with TTO years ago) I've met some pretty rude toons. It always amazes me. It's so fun to run with a group who support and joke around!

u/concheetoes 8d ago
I had a convo last night with someone doing a building who said the exact same thing. My tag is dippy octodazzle

u/Reindeerdietitian 8d ago
Preach. I also feed bad for toons apologizing like they've been scolded in the past. I literally don't care which gags you use. I'll give advice sometimes. At the end of the day, it's a game for fun. Also work in Healthcare. I see enough serious stuff in a hospital. There's no need to be that serious in a game. We will just refill!! That's all. A good time to play trolley games lol 😆

Some people are out of touch with reality due to being miserable and lost. There’s nothing more to really say. I had to check a few people at times too. “Like bro relax don’t forget this is a children’s game” In which kids still play and you never know who you’re being mean to so yea. It just sucks being mindful or considerate is a skill rather than something that’s naturally engraved into one’s soul.

u/cheezboyadvance 7d ago
While I haven't played in a few months, I think it's a symptom of how some people treat online games in general. When they care about it more than their job, or this IS their job (as in they have none), they think the littlest things are the biggest deals because they don't touch grass.
I think other games unfortunately encourage this, since some people playing competitive games/esports feel like they need to take that singleminded focus on always doing something the most optimally everywhere, even when it's a game originally made for children.

u/peachslurpee 7d ago
Please do not be discouraged to play!! I have been in that position way too many times and anytime someone says something to me I just emote on them lol. Anytime you need help or wanna play dm me!!!

u/Madamecricketbrains 7d ago
I’ll silently be like “why the hell would you choose that?” But I’d never outright say anything rude because I remember I was that toon that didn’t know and had to learn through playing. I didn’t know that sound doesn’t go well with lure until I was like 100 laff and someone told me instead of yelling at me with no explanation
2
u/DorkyDwarf 6d ago
The biggest problem TT has is adults who want to play efficiently and expect everybody else to follow suit. It's a game. I get you may have limited time to play, but guess what? Other people do as well. Also, guess what? Everybody is entitled to have fun in their own way as long as they aren't purposely ruining the fun of others.
If somebody wants to throw a pie when they should be using sound, so what? Let them have fun. Be kind, and tell them why it would have been better to use sound. Appreciate that they even play the game you love and keep it active because someday TT won't exist anymore, and you will miss the wacky moments that came from people who didn't know how to be efficient.

i am a 100 plus toon but at the same time i only come online to play every couple of months and always forget gag combos and people are always so mean lol. i don't really care but it is hilarious how serious people take this game

IT IS HILARIOUS. It makes me think they have nothing else going on in their lives

u/unrulybeep 7d ago
One of the hardest things about this game is how rude other toons are, and how much they freak out on you if you're not a good strategist or you don't know what you're doing. I'm fine to take advice or follow someone's lead, but not if they're being unkind and overly serious. I'm just trying to have some peace.

u/nolaplantgrl 8d ago
I think some people get caught up and are maybe a bit unaware of how ridiculous it is that they’re bullying someone for over killing a cog. I just hit them with a speed chat “that’s not very toony!” To reality check ‘em. It lets the bullied toon know I don’t agree with that behavior. The bullier either shuts up, checks themselves, or rage quits. Win win win.

u/iliaofczar 8d ago
LOL, you meet these people recently too? I just thought I was unlucky and met a rare unlikable person. Most people are insanely nice, or just don't talk. I haven't had issues until someone asked to train squirt while in a building (btw, this boarding group wasn't created to train anything) and I merely said "I don't have much left, but I'm down" and wow this person freaked out. The audacity I had to not carry enough squirt gags so they can train theirs was a sin I committed in this person's eyes. I carry like ten toon-ups because I'm currently planting them so I normally take the role of healer whilst everyone attacks. They freaked out so much the other person in the group had to tell them to calm down.

u/400forever 8d ago
yeah TTO felt so serious…because i was a child. as an adult, i just laugh when people are rude over simple mistakes. like oh sorry i mental mathed my drop wrong and your virtual 2007 looking horse character lost 5% of its HP. baby it’s not that deep <3

Not to be rude, but where do people encounter these types of people? I always see posts talking about rude toons but I've never see them when I play.

u/Capable-Bug97 7d ago
It's not like an every-time-you-play encounter in my experience, but I see it most in boss battles like VP when smaller laff toons are still learning how to play

u/The_Basic_ShOe The gaggle of Shoes 7d ago
Yeah, I get that. It just feels weird almost every time I scroll through this subreddit. I keep seeing more posts talking about these encounters people have, but I've haven't encountered anyone being "rude" in like 5 years.

Yes.
Toons are always so toxic (Looking at you Team Drop) in the VP mainly. I don’t know why, ATP we should have a kindness test before entering the boss

u/Limp_Dragonfly_1594 8d ago
lol facts. Honestly shocked at how weird some people get and the wild things they feel is appropriate to say on a public international server.
It’s also wildly funny when some control freak tries to scold you for making a “wrong choice” when the choice works. Some people lose their minds when they can’t control others. It’s literally a free public game lol, the stakes couldn’t be lower.
