Is this a Bad Time?
Posted by Sir Max on August 16, 2014 at 7:53 PM
Yes, it most certainly is a bad time.
They don't pay me to write blog post past 5:00PM, you know. They don't pay me at all, you know. Yet here I am at 7:53PM, writing this very post to inform you that the Telemarketers have started a Mega-Invasion.
I don't know if it's some sort of tracking beacon, or if they have a radar in their metal heads, or what -- but ever since those Telemarketers caught wind that we all have phones now, they've always called at all of the wrong times. First it was during dinner, then while I was in the bathroom, and now they've interrupted Aladdin and my "Goodbye Genie" party with this madness! I am literally bawling my eyes out as I write this post. I should probably see a therapist -- but that's beside the point.
I've hung up on them, pressed "8" to remove us from the mailing list (And then "4", "7", and "13" respectively to confirm that I wanted to do this), and everything else under the moon you could think of. I'm telling you, these Telemarketers just won't stop calling! With this invasion, Toons, it's time for us to do what we do best: fill up the seltzers, grab some pies, and restock your gags. It's time to take back Toontown once again!

Yay! It's good to know you can "accidentally" walk up to a knock-knock door and not crash the client! (This happened to me many times and I'm glad it's fixed)

I guess this is a good opportunity to train gags (if I can't do my tasks due to these invasions. You guys should think about safe zone districts). But I might be able to train my lure in TTC (I feel lucky because it has been working more than other toon's lures) and I hope to see other toons training also.

Not to get off topic (I hate telemarketers as much as the next toon) but I wish you hadn't fixed the invisible glitch. It was a pretty funny prank don't you think?

This will be great for toons that are training, and now we don't have to deal with those knock knock doors crashing us.

I just want to say thanks a TON! You guys are adding cooler and cooler things each week and it's wonderful to know that you have the interests of the toons and you make things that you know they'll like, like the v2 invasions. I'm so happy, TTR is better than I imagined it to be, so thanks again guys! :D
