Hi there! Welcome to sos card shopping. I've meant to do this post forever but I guess I shop too much. I would just like to mention a few things to expect while shopping with this group. First the rewards are great with all the great cards you will end up with.(you can brag to your friends that you have 100 sos cards...lol). But even better than the cards will be some of the friends you can make while shopping.
I would like to give you a heads up on some of the problems you will run into while shopping with the group. Until you can recognize the sos toons on your own expect some mistakes to occur. There will be run calls that are wrong and sometimes no one will call run or stay. So don't be too upset if this happens to you, most of us have either gone sad once or had to fight the first cogs alone. The best way to keep from this happening to you is go look at the sos toons you are saving, not just their picture but go to their shop in tt and see up close what they look like. toontask lists where their hangouts are.(just a note...you can still x or alt out when the cage drops for the close up look at the sos toon).
Also there will be times when the elevator loading won't suit you as most can tell you. The shoppers sometimes have ran as a small group for hours and then when it gets crowded they really don't like to split. So don't get your feeling hurt as many do, its just the way it is.
There are also some things you shouldnt do while shopping. Glitching is frowned on by the group and usually will make someone mad. Its also a good idea to get rid of any sos cards you dont want before you start shopping, it just makes sure you dont miss any good cards.
I'm sure as i ramble on here ive missed somethings you need to know but im sure someone will bring them up....lol
On a personal note if one of my toons tease you with the built in tt phrases, please don't be too thin skinned and just say please dont brother me. I do love to say "are you new here" and "have you been here before" and "you are a genius" and many times it is taken way too serious. The most important thing you should get from shopping is not hurt feeling but some great friends as i said before.......Good Luck Shopping....Bob

I dont think i did a very good job explaining that the things that do happen with the elevator loading and the groups not splitting are not what the TCB stands for. These things are the exception not the rule. I just dont want any new shoppers being discouraged if they run into one bad trip. As a group I dont think you will find anyone quicker to help you than the tcb. As has been said here many times all are welcome, just get your merits and your gags and saddle up!....bob
