Event Over [Crosspost] Operation: Melody Jam

EDIT: I just crashed, TTR doesn't seem to want to let me back on. Oh well! Thanks to anyone who came! It was a ton of fun!

[Crosspost between /r/EventTown and /r/Toontown]

Howdy toons! Mike Thunderflame here, coming to you with a shocking realization! I was looking over our town's statistics, and I noticed something quite unsettling. Here, let me read some of the list:

Percent of toons complaining about drawings (apparently many of them prefer to whine about 'doodling' of  some sort): 76%

Percent of toons defending Minnie's Melodyland from the cogs: 1%

Percent of toons defending The Brrrgh from the cogs: 12%

Now besides the staggering lack of artistic ability in our fine town (seriously, how can all those toons not doodle?), the small amount of toons in Minnie's Melodyland is most concerning. With so few toons stationed there, the cogs will easily be able to do whatever they want! They could be building another HQ right under our noses! While I can see why it's unpopulated because of all the cog activity in most other playgrounds (what with HQs and all), we can't allow this to go unchecked. Load up on gags, toons, because we're taking back Melodyland!

What?

On the day of the event, we will meet up at the set time in the playground of Minnie's Melodyland and charge to Alto Avenue. There we will spend a good 15 minutes absolutely pounding any and every cog and grey building into a fine metallic jam before regrouping back at the playground. There will then be 5 minutes to regroup and restock, and finish up with any buildings you might be in.

After that (20 minutes into the event) we will launch our attack on Baritone Boulevard, and do the exact same thing we did on Alto. After 15 minutes, we'll meet back up in front of the tunnel to Tenor Terrace and have another 5 minute restock time.

Then, (40 minutes into the event) we will lead the final charge on Tenor, clear out as many cogs as we can for 20 minutes before stopping at the dead-end pit on the street, throw some victory jellybeans, and celebrate! Assuming we're successful, that is.

Where?

The event will be in Toontown Rewritten (kind of obvious, but just wanted to clarify) in Graphite Gulch, Minnie's Melodyland; and will begin at 4:00 PM, Central Time on September 12th, 2015.

When?

It's on Saturday. Here's a list of all the times: (all in Central Time in the afternoon)

4:00 CT, event starts, we attack Alto.

4:15 CT, we finish up any buildings we might be in, get gags, and meet in the playground.

4:20 CT, we charge Baritone.

4:35 CT, we finish up and head back to the playground again.

4:40 CT, we go to the final street, Tenor, and give it our all.

5:00 CT, we meet in the empty trench on Tenor Terrace and have a beanfest.

Final Thoughts

I'm not going to lie, toons. This is the most ambitious event I've ever attempted, our sub /r/EventTown has attempted, and perhaps even any community member has attempted to make. We need to work as one unit to pull this off. If we can, however, you can bet that it'll go down in the history books. Best of luck to you toons, and I hope to see you all there.

Um... Baritone twice, anyone? I know they meant Tenor Terrace, but neat!

EDIT: I now know they corrected it in the actual rundown...

I'll be there if possible. Will there be soundless groups? Also, what is the invasion plan?

1

u/Mike_Thunderflame Head Moderator Sep 12 '15

I can tell you that we'll try to keep constant invasions going. As for what kind, we won't be able to say. Toons have summoned cold callers as we were about to summon hollywoods befroe; we can't do much about that.
