When I took my break only Sellbot HQ was out and I don't remember the invasions being a help at that point when we got to the supervisor.
When I came back Cash and Law were out. I couldn't understand for the life of me why they were waiting so long to attack the supervisor and it frustrated me to no end for a few weeks. Finally is clicked with hubby that they were waiting for invasions. Then I came back to the forums here and looked it up and learned the connection.
Not everyone who plays reads fan site forums so it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of highish laff toons out there really don't know the connection.
Our son who is almost 7 doesn't understand the entire invasions vs. supervisor battles and the merits/bucks/jury notices/pink slips etc yet. It's slowly sinking in with him how it all comes together but it really is a lot to learn for a first time game for someone his age. From time to time he is so excited to get through a HQ run that he runs right to that supervisor to engage in battle thinking the other 3 are right behind him and forgets to wait.
We've seen toons make him go sad on purpose, he leaves the game in tears swearing he hates playing toon town becaue people are mean to him. (How can I disagree though. Yes, he was wrong to not wait but it was just as wrong for the other toons to "teach him a lesson" and laugh while he goes sad.)
We've seen him stunk so bad from the other 3 that his screen is literally full of you stinks.
Please remember that it may not be a matter of "not being nice" but it being someone who doesn't understand the game.

This also reminds me of a time I was pushed into the supervisor while we were waiting for an invasion. Accident or not what was I to do. The toons were going to try to let me go sad and were throwing out you stinks and "ha ha's" and refused to join so I whipped out one set of level 7 gags and then as I was picking my 2nd level 7 to finish them off they realized I was going to take them all and tried to join... so sorry to late I had already picked. I win, they loose.
My reply "Piece of cake!" "ha ha"

Haha, brilliant! That's great! There is nothing that vexes me more when some Toon decides he knows better and tries to punish them and teach them a lesson. While, as of yet, it's never happened to me, I've seen toons try to do it to each other all the time, and I never let them. The only time I got mad at another toon for going into the supervisor, (In which, I admit, I stinked them, and they did the same to me) was after three battle in which they went early, all of which I was going back to a barrel to get a gag and asked them to wait. This one toon waited each time for thirty seconds to a minute, then ran in to fight the cogs. I missed a battle once, and barely made it to the supervisor, as the last cog was blinking red. Every time this toon said "Sorry I couldn't wait anymore", and when I got annoyed and upset (Such as using the sad emotion or "Lets work together" then "Wait!") he would get angry and stink me. Therefore, I think this is a very different scenario, although I still would have never let him go sad.
Anyway, I'm glad you pulled through. I think that you conveyed your point so well and so much better then I ever could that I don't have anything to add. By the way, as an experienced 109-laugh toon that has been here since Beta, I didn't know that merits/cogbucks/stock options/jury notices doubled during an invasion until about a month a go.
