Ask Toontown: Sir Max
Posted by Sir Max on August 12, 2016 at 6:00 PM
Welcome to Ask Toontown, a brand new segment for our blog where YOU get to decide the content! We've asked our followers over on Twitter to send in questions for our first guest, the one and only Sir Max, who has chosen a bunch to answer.
Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or Google+ to stay up to date on future opportunities to have your questions answered by a Toon on the blog!
A Word From Sir Max
HEY THERE, Toontown! I knew I'd finally get my chance for the spotlight.
As manager of the Toontown blog, it was of course my own idea to start up a "Ask Toontown" segment to try and better keep in touch with the Toons of the town, as some of you have asked us to do. I proposed it to the Toon Council, and suddenly I get the bright idea: "Who's a better first guest than myself?" -- so I sent a letter to my agent to see if I was available and the rest is history.
Let's check out some questions, shall we?
Questions and Answers
#AskToontown Sir Max, why are you called Sir Max, if your owner's name is Joey? and why a green dog? o:
— Corgi Kitten (@GirlinACatSuit) August 12, 2016
Where did the name Sir Max come from #AskToontown
— JakeToontown (@JakeToontown) August 12, 2016
Now that's an easy one. My first name is Sir, and my last name is Max. Or was it the other way around? There might even be a "Douglas" thrown in there.
You know, I kind of like the sound of that. "Sir Douglas Max."
@TT_Rewritten #AskToontown This far, what was the most challenging thing to release to players?
— steph (@pxnsy) August 12, 2016
Doodles. One day! In terms of content already released, I'd say ToonFest. It was a tough thing to finish in under a month.
@TT_Rewritten #asktoontown the when are doodles being implemented?
— Endersurfer (@Endersurfer_) August 12, 2016
The when they are ready, of course!
Note from the TTR Team: Doodles are tough, because we need to figure out how to implement them without bogging down the rest of the game. No one wants more lag! At the same time, it's tough to work on that implementation while trying to keep you guys entertained with other content.
Fixing bugs? That's something I do plenty of as a Toon Trooper. The grey zone glitches, animation bugs, and many a game crash were the result of my handiwork on fixing bugs. Butterflies, though? I won't get anywhere near those things. Don't get me started on butterflies.
Parties used to be here in Toontown after Fat McStink introduced them during alpha, but due to a number of safety code violations which resulted in some crashes (Heh, get it, because -- ah nevermind.) they were temporarily removed.
Recently, our pal Hawkheart has been rebuilding them with much better purpose in mind, and there's only two major steps left to complete them. They won't be releasing with new activities, but they will be releasing fairly soon with full stability. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some new activities in the future, too!
The butler did it -- at least that's what they want you to think. The real plot twist is that it was YOU all along! I'm onto you, Boredmations. Don't think for a second that you're getting away with this.
@TT_Rewritten #AskToontown Can you describe the upcoming things being released in the future in 3 words?
— steph (@pxnsy) August 12, 2016
Three words, eh? -- NO wait, that doesn't count. Let's try this again:
Lettuce. Tomato. Onion. -- OOF, no, sorry -- Big. Pink. Cookie. -- Now I'm just spouting off my dinner order. What was it...? -- Parties, Tweaks, ToonFest. -- No no, that can't be it. I give up.
@TT_Rewritten #AskToontown How does it feel to have over a million users?
— Zoee Holt (@Theflashlover1) August 12, 2016
Like a million bucks! Not all of our bucks are male, though, so probably more like half of a million bucks. And none of our Toon species are deer, so I'd say we have exactly zero bucks. What were we talking about again?
Riggy Marole is back, and he's bringing some friends with him to join his ToonFest team alongside the Token Takers. Ever year we've built upon ToonFest to add more things to do, and this one is going to be the most fun yet. In fact, that's what I'm currently working on with the other Toon Troopers.
We have ToonFest every year so that we can add small little additions to keep you occupied while we work on the big stuff. So even if we added absolutely nothing to Toontown for an entire year -- you can still count on there being something new at ToonFest to keep you entertained.
#AskToontown where is WASD support? People with Mech keyboards like the Pok3r or HHKB will have trouble playing without it .-.
— RealToonGaming (@RealToonGaming) August 12, 2016
That's a feature that I was working on pretty recently. I want it as much as you do - look for it in the near future of tweaks.
AHHH!
Don't scare me like that. You know I don't do well under pressure. Anyway, the answer is green apple. The question was about smarties, right? Or was it Marty's...
Was Slappy's capture an inside job? #AskToontown
— zttr (@zttr420) August 12, 2016
I believe that Slappy was captured outside.
Bonus Questions!
These questions were asked outside of the time allotment, but hey, I'm a rulebreaker too. Let's answer some!
It's coming soon. Fat McStink, the fellow who manages Mac, has been busy with some sort of... Intermediate-ship? Something like that. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I think it's because he's short. As long as that yellow bar is at the top of our website, though, it's a priority for fixing.
If you email the designs to us and give us permission to use them in-game, you may end up seeing them -- or even a recreation by one of our own artists. We also encourage you to apply to be an artist for the team!
How big is toontown exactly? #asktoontown
— Deputy Gulliver (@deputygulliver) August 12, 2016
This big. I'm showing how big the town is right now, but you can't see because this is just text on a screen. You'll have to trust me on this one.
@TT_Rewritten #AskToontown how long does it usually take to implement a new feature in the game?
— Antonio M. (@ToontownMaster) August 12, 2016
Often times it will take months of hard work from multiple programmers, artists, and play testers. It's no easy task!
#AskToontown why was i late
— an tomato (@KetchupToontown) August 12, 2016
Probably because you weren't following us on Twitter, or didn't have tweet notifications enabled to hear whenever something is going on in Toontown. Our social media pages deliver exclusive content and opportunities like the questions here, so I recommend checking all of them out!
Now that I'm done with the shameless plug, I think that wraps up this edition of Ask Toontown.
Feel free to keep asking me questions via email or social media and I'll try my best to answer them, and let us know in the comments which Toon you want to answer questions next!

That was the most hilarious blog post ever. And now I'm hyped for parties. I HAVE TO SAVE MY JELLYBEANS!
My thanks to Sir Max for enlightening us with his... Sir Maxiness? sure...
Wow, you guys are good. I'm the last person I would have suspected, but I was looking for me all the time! It's the perfect crime!
You guys are masters of question dodging...
Can't Wait For Green Apple Smarties. XD
10/10 answers, Sir Max. Even though you dodged most of the questions, your responses made me crack up.
I'm so excited for all these new things planned for TTR. I watched the entire OMGCon! video on YouTube (1hr.15min) and it was amazing I am so pumped!
Pfft... HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!! This blog post, I swear to Flippy, is the funniest one yet.
wait... SMARTIES?!!?!?!? CANDY!?!?!!?! WHAT IS THIS HALLOWEEN!? OOOOOOOOHOHOOHOHOOOOOH *Trixie then goes into full hyper mode, eating all the candy made in the world.* Then..... ( YES THERES A THEN!!!!!!!!!!! me: oh my gosh... ) trixie gets a severe stomach ache. ( btw i'm back in school. DX. But one of my teachers are THE BEST! :D btw sir max.. i got something to say... I LOVE U AND UR GAME! THANK U SO MUCH FOR BRINGING TOONTOWN BACK ITS 1 OF MY FAV GAMES THANK YOU!!! ok sorry. im done with this enormous comment so... BYE! (see u in the next news updateeeeeeeee!)
I like this idea of answering questions. It'll make the players feel more satisfied to hear some communication from the staff since you guys don't communicate all the time.
I really liked this Q&A blog post style. Will you do more in the near future? Please do! Also, will True Friends be returning any time soon?
PFFFFFTHTHAHTHAHAHA I loved the one about the outside job xD And the "Who kidnapped my brother" "Don't think I'm not on to you" xD
LOL, the answers are hilarious.
This certainly answered some of my questions!
If Toontown Online comes back then would Toontown Rewritten close?Also if Toontown Online comes back could we get our Toontown Rewritten toons transfered over to Toontown Online?
I just want to thank everyone on the Toontown Rewritten staff for bringing back Toontown. You have truly re-created the joy and fun I had as a kid. I truly can't thank you guys enough.Thanks and keep up the good work. (:
So anyway, ya' married...with kids? ;D
Why have there been no fishes in the pond on Maple Street in Daisy Gardens ?
McQuack, the most entertaining duck in the Tooniverse should answer next. My question to him is: Which species is the most superior, Duck or Dog?
Parties already? I JUST PUT AWAY MY PARTY HAT!!!!!! COME ON. Anyways.... I already have tons of beans. I'm set for cannons and dance floors and all that wacky stuff. :3
Wait... DOODLES NEAR TOONFEST? PARTIES TOO? Better get saving, this'll be the best thing in TTR ever!
My favorite was "the when are doodles being implemented?" "The when they are ready!"
It was fun looking at all of the questions on the blog I can see what good progress the team are doing to make this an amazing place for kids alike
"Green Apple Smarties" I'm dying of laughter!!!
Are you working on getting the bug where golf balls don't work in the ceo fight?
can we make true friends in ttr ?
This may not have answered every question in the way people wanted, but... THIS WAS HILARIOUS! I WANT MORE!!!!!
i hope doodles get released soon XD
when will there be a new gag
Here is a question that wan't on there, how do we register for the species elections?
This was funny! But at first I thought this would be the Toon Species Election's guidelines....
#asktoontown when are we going to have parties
Well Sir "Douglas?" Max, I'm sure you know who took his brother, and is probably hidden somewhere in Toontown Rewrittens underground jellybean factory working hard on those green apple smarties. But that is fine, just return the brother safely with no cavities. It is Toontastic what has been accomplished in the rewritten version, and I am ever so grateful to be playing this game. No matter how small or big, whatever happens is simply Sir Maxtastic Fabulous. Thanks for the fun, the laughs and hard work! {{Applause! Bows! Applause}}.
Aww, i dont even use twitter, that really sucks
haha this is clever
Alright, looks like you gained a g+ follower.
joey did you eat my sandwich?
Oh, and Owooo, everyone knows that cat is the best. However between duck and dog I'd have to go with dog. Crumble is actually a dog, but I have another toon that's a cat.
OMG i can't wait for Lettuce. Tomato. Onion. AND Big. Pink. Cookie. to be released! And also i'm onto you too, Boredmations for kidnapping your brother..... (Shhh don't tell anyone this, but I, YES ME!!!!!, kidnapped him... SHH!!!!)
Maybe Doctor Surlee could answer questions? Possibly. No. There are too many spoiler possibilities. Okay then.
Sorry I missed it! I have a question, is there anything in Toontown the game doesn't show us? Like more playgrounds that we can't access because of invis walls?
Id like to say that toontown is one of the best of all games and I want to give you all a huge thanks for making it
how do you get the cog disguise I never figured that out is it in the game yet even
Does reporting really do anything Or is it just a warning
Parties soon? :D X 10000000!
I am excited for what news to come out in the future!
SIR MAX I LOVE YOU
Oh my gosh! XD I love the questions and LOOOVE the answers! Well played Sir (Douglas[maybe]) Max! Well.. played...... *INTENSE FACE* XD Toons of the World UNITE!!!
i got a glitch where i can't change my clothes. can you fix it
wow! thanks these answered a lot of my questions! thanks! :D
Oh gee, I don't know what toon should answer next.. Wait it was toon right? Or was it noon? As in, will you release doodles by noon next month on the 23rd? WAIT - wasn't it parties? OR WINGS? I don't know anymore!
#ask toontown: when are u bringing field offices into ttr?
i actually despise butterflies, and i avoid them at all costs. though somehow they ended up in my stomach thinking about parties. can't wait !
Heres my question, how long will it take for you guys to finish with the new playground? Im so pumped,and cant wait! ;)
Oooh nice to see Deputy Gulliver up there! He's my favorite toonblr. Also, I think I'd rather see parties get implemented into the game rather than doodles. It just seems more fun.
You guys should implement Mars Bars.
cool
McQuack should be the next to answer! Anyway, when are True Friends being released?
WE NEED GREEN APPLE SMARTIES
I really appreciate it that the TTR team is working to make doodles cause less lag. I would rather have them come later and lag free (or as lag free as can be) than sooner and have the game become a lag fest.
Great Blog post!! I especially loved how you responded to the captured brother question and "the when are doodles being implemented?" question. XD. So funny! Hope you do more like this! And how do I apply to become an artist for the team?!?
HILARIOUS!!!!! I applaud you for answering these questions in such a funny and creative way. :D I WANT MORE LIKE THIS!!
when you add doodles can i name mine "Windows Vista"?
Can you please please pleaseeee add the ability to change toon gender on toon rewrite because i wasted money on one because i thought you could change gender from it
Kidnap a cog- any non-boss cog- and change it's coding to be good. Then have it answer questions for us about what goes on in Cog Nation. This is possibly probably maybe important.
PLEASE FIX THE CHAT
Sir Max, will you answer questions after August 12, 2016? I do like TTR! :3
When is next toonfest?
I think you should add a whole new line of accessories called "tails". You could have a tail with a ribbon or leopard spots or stripes or whatever crazy things you could think of.
But Still How Do I Vote? XD
Say something... I'm giving up on you. Just kidding! Anyway, love this new update, can't wait for the election!
Will you implement one day more jellybeans in the house bank? ( ?° ?? ?°)
I like the name Douglas for a dog too! Sir Douglas Max. You are funny Joey. Thanks for bringing Toontown back! You really are a hero!
YEEEESSSSS PARTIES! I can start farming jellybeans in the catch game when the parties come out!
I can describe the future of Toontown in three words! THIS. IS. AWESOME!
This was extremely entertaining to read, which is something to expect with Sir Max posts! I'm still patiently waiting for those updates; you guys just take your time. -waves-
Sweet, most of those cracked me up. Best. Blog. Post. Ever. ;)
I don't have a Twitter or Toonter, but I have a question, and I'm pretty sure Fat McStink is the one to answer it: When will the Top Toons from 2 months ago be getting their Top Toons Shirts?
* Throws papers and papers of questions on the ground * Aww, I should get toonbook. ;~;
Hiya. I'm coming back to TTR after my old (but awesome!) laptop had a critical hardware failure, and I'm in awe at how big it's gotten since I played last. 1,000,000??? That's great! Also, this blog is hilarious; I really like how you answered the questions without actually answering them! =D
i loved the answers, some almost made me crack up..... KEEP DODGING QUESTIONS AND ILL GIVE U 1000/10....

Parties are coming soon? Sweet! Now I have something to look forward to coming out soon. Lets have a party to celebrate! ( afterwards of course )

Sir Max (Joey) Is The Best. He Knows How To Crack Us Up
