Free Ride

Sign up Fancy Nickeltoon - Wishes to be a FreeLoader.

I know I am not a leader of any of the hosting clans, but I do have a suggestion. I don't think you should allow anyone to choose to be the freeloader. Too many people are going to want to be it and expect a free ride. I think you guys should do all of the assigning when you put the teams together.

Had the rules reflected 4 free loaders per load (as opposed to three),then I'd have been happy to sign up. With only 3, I fail to see any possible challenge for the free loading toons and as such, the satisfaction of victory isn't quite enough. Catch ya next time!

I suppose if you already have a freeloading toon, it would be easier to sign that up.

Most of the VPs I have gone to in my 4.5 years on TT have had freeloaders of one kind or another. :lipsrsealed:

I have run my ubers on many many EPIC events. I've never met a single person that said that uber would slow them down. I also know that I've never met a toon I would call an uber that shows up with unmaxed gags.

If you wanted to bring an uber to play as a normal toon, then I'm sure that would be fine. I'm sure many of you would be among the first to agree that there is a difference between running an uber toon and a 15 laffer with no gags (who is also unable to SOS during this run). As an uber you have the ability to back up the gags that are being used. With this run you won't have that ability.

I think what Rockin Toon was pointing out was that bringing a 15 laffer as a freeloader could potentially cause issues for your team by adding an extra 60 seconds to the time should sadness occur.

Hope that helped!

I see little or no difference in having a toon who plays no gags at 15 laff or 120 laff at any event. If someone were to make a team and invited a 15 laff, no-gag "ORGINAL" freeloader, they should be able to do so., PERIOD. If someone wanted to make a team of 4 15 laffers, of which any 1,2, or 3 wanted to be designated as a free-loader, they should be entered in the event and RANDOMLY paired with ANY other 4 person team.

That would make it interesting. What it looks like is a stacked deck to have an event, ensure free-loaders dance, and take any and almost all risk and excitement out of it. Heck I do 4-person VPs where the entire laff of the group is less than 100 laff, and yes, we dance.

This event has lost whatever initial appeal it might have had for risk, excitement or inclusion. So, sorry, no your post did not help. Thanks for trying, but I don't agree. Also0, I think Rockin Toon is fully capable of speaking for herself.

If the organizers want to huddle and clarify what this event is really about that would help.

Oh well. Can't please everyone. Best of luck getting the answers you're looking for!
