You will do great! I think I was around your same laff when Diz first went to cfo. It all happened so fast it was a blur. I somehow managed to get on a vator with some excellent craners and I was more than happy to let them crane... I think the whole crane fight lasted 3 minutes. I even posted something about, "If that's all there is to it, what's the big deal?" LOL!
Personally, I stomped my first chance going in. I think most people do. The crane takes some time getting used to and if you do choose to try the crane, please don't throw any safes at all until you are comfortable with the timing. Just pick up goons and keep chucking them at the cfo, even while others are throwing safes. I chose to stomp because since I'd stomped some goons before (warehouse and mint) it was something I was familiar with in unfamiliar territory. I think I was a bean counter the first time I tried the crane... some people start sooner and some people still don't crane even if they have a RB50. It is whatever you are comfortable with.
I read the strategy before I went... I remember thinking to myself that I was somehow going to end up in this "junkyard" with cranes around to pick up salvage and move it around and I just couldn't imagine how that was going to defeat the CFO.
The cranes really don't look like cranes at all... really there are 4 podiums, one in each corner, with a magnet on a cable above them. When you walk up to the podium you will be on the crane and your view will switch to an overhead view. The view was enough to make me hesitant to jump on a crane again. You will be in a square room and the CFO is in the center of the room. Goons come out of his doors (same doors like you throw pies into in vp) and the stompers stomp on the goons to disable them. Craners then pick up those disabled goons (advanced craners can pick up live goons but it's tricky) and throw them at the cfo. When he is dizzy you can throw safes but only when he is dizzy.
As for the cog round, there is no break like in vp and you have the same 4 players on each side throughout.
A word of advice... just like in vp, wait a bit before you board. Try to board with at least one Robber Baron if you can but it's not always necessary. If at all possible, find someone you trust out on the porch and whisper to them, "Have you been here before? No. I'm SO scared!" A seasoned player will recognize that you mean it and will most likely try to board with you. I know that if someone whispers that to me I do my very best to board with them and will typically stand right next to them even on the porch.
You will do great, Trixie! Best of luck!
