Electoral Update: Tomorrow's Just a Day Away
Posted by The Toontown Team on March 22, 2014 at 7:00 PM
It's unlike us to do stories out-of-tooniverse, but this one we figured deserved it. Today we ran into some very serious server issues from the big turnout at the election. We tried our best to fix them, only to find that there was a deeper problem.
We're super sorry for another delay, but because of the server issue and our severe lack of sleep there was nothing that can be done today. We'll let you know what's going on tomorrow -- assuming we don't sleep the entire day through!
If you were one of the many toons who were eagerly watching our stream throughout the day: don't worry, it wasn't all for nothing. We'll be rewarding 100 of you with Beta Keys when the time comes to apologize for the server struggle we went through. Once again, we can't express our sorrow for the delay, but we promise that whenever you do see the Election: it will definitely be worth it. Our modelers, texture artists, composers, and of course developers have devoted all of their freetime and more for the past month into making this the best event that we've seen on Toontown in years.
Rome wasn't built in a day -- and neither was Toontown! The difference is that Rome had paid workers and slaves. We have codemonkeys, which is sort of like a slave. But it's a monkey. And it's us. So not much to do there. See you all tomorrow!

Aww, it got delayed. :( These other toons should be grateful that TTR is in the making, because they were mad.

I have to admit I was a little disappointed but I realize that what you guys are doing isn't easy. Expecially with so many toons trying to log on and see whats happening.

Thank you for all your work guys!!! Take your time. We have no right to complain about the delay. We understand that you have lives outside of the computer. Plus, this is something you are doing out of kindness. We have no reason to complain about delays. Once again a HUGE thank you to every person involved in this project; YOU are toontastic!!!

Thank you, TTR Staff, for everything. I completely understand your difficulties. It doesn't matter when you get the Election done, because either way, I will be the happiest Toon in the world. Thanks!

We know it wasn't your fault that today went wrong, so you don't owe us an apology. While it was indeed painful to sit through five hours of boredom, you couldn't do anything about it. Plus, many of the viewers were cursing, being rude, and picking on you for taking so long, but many of us see that no one is to be blamed. Hopefully next time will go better, and WE apologize that you had been so pressured.

Thank you all so much for setting this all up for us. Hopefully this shows what needed to finally be tested - ways to reduce population lag! That was one of the biggest issues in open TT, and hopefully with enough big events like this that will attract all of the members, you can find ways to reduce lag for the future :D

I can't express how happy and thankful my little brother and I are due to your hard work. Yes, we were two of the 1,000 people who stayed and watch the entire time, but it was all worth it knowing how well it was going to turn out. I personally apologize for how the other fans were reacting on the comments during the stream. Just remember your team is creating endless happiness that can last a lifetime and gave back the joy we once lost. I once more say thank you, but it still won't be enough to truly thank you, due to all the hard work and the lack of sleep you and your team put forth.

Hey TTR Team. I just wanted to say it's just lovely how devoted you are to the game and fixing everything, so thank you so much for trying so hard. I'm sure that none of us will mind waiting that tiny bit longer; I don't. I hope you can get some rest soon!

It's OK. You can take your time, seriously, and I'm not just trying this for a beta key. The good news is that TTR's progress always goes fast. It feels like just a week ago you started the new program of TTR, and it feels like just yesterday you started the elections.

Seriously, guys, don't sweat it. I understand that you guys are under a lot of stress and pressure from some impatient toons putting on more and more pressure. Just take your time, and give all these toons a good game whenever you're ready. I waited 5.5 hours without a peep. I wish there were more dedicated toons like me who would rather have a high quality game later, than a low quality game now. :)
