Doubling Down on Silliness
Posted by Double Talker on March 10, 2019 at 11:30 AM
Toons, let's step back for a moment. You might want to double think the whole Silly Meter fad. Ever since this so-called "Loony Labs" started talking about silliness, us Lawbots have been working double overtime just to analyze the codes that this device has been violating. It's time we step in to double down on silliness.
I've done the research myself: Silly Particles are harmful to Toontown. I've seen the gravitational anomalies with my own four eyes. And this "Doctor Fissionton" duo? They might talk in double, but they're no match for the knowledge of this Double Talker.
Besides that, the rise of silliness has become an immediate threat to Toons and Cogs alike. Fire hydrants, mailboxes, and trash cans have began fighting in the streets -- and without any sort of machinery to power them. It's dangerous, nonsensical, and downright disruptive to the order that this town desperately needs.
I know some of you may be fond of this silliness, but when you look at the facts, I'm sure you'll agree with me. Trust me, I've studied this silliness myself -- and I'm not one to double cross.
We'll be coming into Toontown to help you lower the Silly Levels back down to how they should be. Everything will go back to normal as long as you don't try to fight us back.
Don't think of it as an "invasion," we think a better term is "friendly takeover."
March 10, 2019 [ttr-live-v2.4.1]
General
• Keep sending us your Silly Meter feedback! This update addresses a number of issues brought up to us by the community, and we have even more adjustments and bugfixes coming soon in future updates.
• Added a new setting for Vertical Synchronization (V-Sync) in the "Video" tab of the Options Panel. When enabled, the game's maximum frame rate will be set to to whatever is supported by your display in order to prevent a visual bug called screen tearing. This setting is enabled by default.
Silly Meter
• Fixed a typo in the "Overjoyed Laff Meters" SpeedChat phrase, which referred to it as the scrapped name "Overlaff."
• Improved formatting of large numbers on the Silly Stats page.
• Added a scroll bar to the Silly Stats page to prevent stats from overflowing off the page.
• Fixed a bug causing the game to freeze when starting the Silly Reader tutorial.
• Fixed a bug causing Silly Points from battle bonuses to be blown extraordinarily out of proportion.
• Adjusted balance of the Cogs' impact on Silly Points.
Trolley
• Fixed a bug causing FPS drop when collecting treasures in the Maze Game.
Streets
• Temporarily disable dynamic street signs to prevent crashing on some Windows machines.
• Slightly boosted the volume and listening radius of animated objects.
Battle
• Fixed a bug causing animated objects to help in battle before the amount of Global Silly Points needed to wake them had been reached.
Cogs
• Fixed an occasional visual bug with Cog explosion animation.
Estate
• Fixed a commonly abused bug with the mailbox allowing Toons to bypass collisions.

Keep up the good work!
I'm So EXCITED!!!
what no those silly things are NOT harmful :( its just they hate them which keeps the cogs away!
Oh no.
Oh no! Hurricane Double Talker inbound!
Good progress team! Can't wait for the long awaited future updates.
When will you Cogs learn...
This is great! My friend needs to defeat 600 lawbots and I need to work on my toon up gag track! Thanks for all the bug fixes and such!
Finally, some 2.4.1 patch notes! Thanks for this, Double Talker!
I've done the research too, and with 100% confidence, I deduce that its time for you cogs to go. I've been to your offices, I've seen your reports: and they make Doctor Dimm look professional. Leave the science to us, and leave Toontown period!
Take em down.
Wait, ye Cogs are goin' to help us? Toons, don't trust 'em!
I've had those Double Talkers over for dinner once, (don't ask me why) and they were downright rude! So much double dipping!
Sure sure sure, doubles you win. ( takes out a lower squirt gag ) shot them behind the back! The doubles are easy! It's not like we are fighting all the Big Wigs and Big Cheeses! It's not like there is a boss of cogs invasion! Come on people. They're nothing compared to us! Come on first shot them all! Those cogs won't stand a chance!
Am I allowed to say they actually have a good point h- Oh I'm not allowed to say that? Oh. Uh... Go beat the cogs we must have the silly stuff I guess.
Will the rangers help us with this?
Doesn't anyone remember the LAST time those dumb Cogs tried to "help" us?
I'm so happy. I missed Toon Town!
Goodness gracious, these Double Talkers get more and more back-stabbing each day.
Darn you mean double talkers!!
I'm in suspense for when the Silly Meter reaches critical levels!!
Sure sounds suspicious, Mr. Double Talker... I think I'm gonna stay on the silly side.
Lets give em some water (pulls out fire hydrant) Double talker: I'm thirsty Me: Have some water. *BLASTS WITH FIRE HYDRANT* WE'RE SILLY FOREVER
"As long as you don't try to fight us back." Is that a threat, or a challenge? Double-Talkers acting like they care about us toons. P-lease! These scientists worked for months, no years, to get the Silly Meter up and running! So whatever challenge you have, bring it on! (gets gags ready and stands by waiting)
Wow! Silly Particles are harmful to toontown!
Finally, someone with sense. I mean, the Silly Meter is grand, but we should at least have a little help in understanding it? And would you Double Talkers PLEASE give a little credit to the cash bots, ahem, ahem?
!!! Double Talker Invasion!!! Omg
His story checks out. Sorry I bothered you, Double Talker.
sure I will help you let me just *grabs cake from behind back walk towards them then trips hits an double talker in the face* -KABOOM- OOPS my mistake *chunks pie at another double talker* -KABOOM- BRING IT ON double talkers
Uhh , SURE!!! - takes out marbles behind back -
(Looks at Toon Tasks) Hmm, I need 400 Lawbots... Hey, Double Talker. Wanna have a little "chat"? (Walks over with a cream pie behind my back.)
HOLD ON THERES NO DOUBLE TALKER INVASION
we would love to help, but only with taking down your business.
Wow great! I need some lawbots in toontown central. ( chuckles ) Come here double talker! I need a little " doubling up " with you.
This looks pretty goooood
Yeah Mr. Double Talker... "harmful" to Toons as well...
I agree, the props fighting are dangerous....For the Cogs!
oh. i thought it was a coincidence that there were so many double talker invasions
It's official. You Cogs don't truly understand where the magic of this game lies. The silliness is actually making Toontown a better place to be. Without silliness, Toontown would be very dull, indeed. This town does need order, but not the type of order that you're all accustomed to. You can talk about wanting to make our town better all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that these street objects are what keeps this game alive and flourishing! One day, you'll understand why we're doing this, but for now, let us teach you what makes Toontown... well, Toontown.
keep up the good work toons
Sure! I will help you guys! (takes out water pistol behind back)
