How to post a run report

I've noticed the same toons always take a positive spin on run reports and the same ones always take a negative spin. Sometimes when having a bad day, a positive person posts a negative report (done it myself) but for the most part, you can be pretty certain which toons are posting in a positive manner.

Unfortunately, I've recently been a part of a run in which the posted report was discouraging and hurtful. Nothing was said about my playing abilities, but the entire report was a complaint and we had a toon go sad, but no mention was given to the reason why the toon went sad, nor was there any mention of great teamwork (which we had). The report in question was posted before I even had a chance to post myself in a much more positive manner. Rather than pointing fingers at the individual, I've chosen instead to help out my fellow toons and give 3 examples of "good" posting for 3 types of personalities. I'm using my own toons in the run report (sad that between my own toons and my kids' toons, I can make a vp team on my own!) so as not to hurt any feelings.

We were the last elevator to leave. We waited a couple of minutes and finally boarded... unfortunately a toon walked in just as our doors were closing. Sorry about that.

Cog round seemed to be a breeze. We started out with LLKR but when we heard toons asking to go for same cog more than once, Miss T. Fied encouraged us to sound and was able to take out the largest cog that our sound couldn't kill. Didn't matter, because just as we finished, we ran over to the other side and found that teamwork had prevailed and they were dancing. A friend on the other side told me that originally a toon had been killing off a second cog even with a low laff present, but eventually got the hang of killing only one cog.

Skel was a struggle... Toontown again placed the 3 lowest laff toons on the same side. We hurried on our side with sound, but unfortunately we heard the sad bug hit Sea Green Duck at the same time Super Dizzy used a TOW TU phrase... must have been a split second too late. Sorry about that, Sea Green! I heard a lure miss on the other side and having angry skels awake, they always seem to go for the little guy. Heard a doodle on that side... it seemed to work because both survived long enough for us to finish and go help out.

Pie was a breeze... I was a little shocked to see the 39 laffer run around back and start close stunning, but later when I viewed my screenshot and noticed this 39 laff toon is a HW50, it made a lot more sense. The 3 star card must not have been enough for Mousewife or Super Dizzy to dance for and both alted as the vp plummeted.

Huge Congrats to Little Dizzy on her laff boost... just 10 more suits to go!!!

After receiving encouragement from the uber on our side to go ahead and sound, we did so to hurry and help the other side, but they were dancing as we ran over. Skel placed all 3 low laffs on the same side... saw a TOW TU phrase but Sea Green Duck still went sad. A note to toons: by all means if you have low level lure, bring a few for emergency purposes, but please allow the bigger toons with maxed lure to use theirs, especially in skel. Red magnets typically don't work on a row of 4 level 12 skels. After our side finished up, we ran over to help the other side finish getting tooned up and kill the last 2 cogs. Pie was quick and virtually painless, with only one ghost jump. I ran to try to pie Miss T. after that jump but after she said, "No" I left her alone. Super Dizzy and Mousewife both alted as the vp was falling, and Little Dizzy received a laff boost in this vp. Great teamwork, all!

**Note: my mom taught me if you can't say *anything* nice, don't say it at all. If all you are going to do is have one big complaint, simply post the statistics and leave it at that. You might even consider waiting a day or 2 and see if someone else on your run will post the results first.**
