I'm totally pumped! This was an awesome solo and I had a lot of fun! The entire battle took 1 hour and 46 minutes. Nothing missed except my own lure, which I stopped using after three hypno goggles missed. Here's what I used: SOS Cards
Flippy - 3
Moe Zart - 3
Lil Oldman - 13
Franz Neckvein - 5
Barnacle Bessie - 8
Toon-Up Unites
10 TU - 1
40 TU - 1
80 TU - 3
Max TU - 6
Pink Slips - 66 used

I think this was my hardest round because I simply haven't practiced a solo in a while. I used all my level seven gags except lure in this round. I also used five pink slips near the end on a few level 12 cogs, which helped smoothed things out. ~ Second Round ~

Because I was Big Cheese 50 I knew I was going to have 13 tables with 5 Big Cheeses each. The final number for this round was 67 V2.0 level 12 cogs!!! I managed to destroy 7 cogs in the feeding round. However, because nature was calling, I had to use my last 65 seconds to go. Otherwise, I probably could've eliminated 8 cogs. All I did was destroyed 4 cogs on the left then switched over to the other conveyor belt and destroyed 3 more.
To my surprise I had to fight two cogs right off the bat. I only thought it was only going to be one, but it makes sense why it was two, simply because I was in a solo. My strategy for this round was to lure and fire cogs on the left. Yep, it was very boring but I had some friends online keeping me company and passing the time.
I started off by firing one of the first cogs to see whether or not I would be lucky and have to fight only 4 cogs at a time. Unfortunately, this was not the case and the cogs continued to enter as I destroyed them. This is when I used my presentation gag, which holds for 18 rounds and kept firing the cog entering on the left! After it wore off, I decided to use Lil Oldman because I didn't trust my lure at all! I didn't need to Toon-Up until every 2-3 rounds once Lil Oldman wore off. By the way, he held for 4 rounds each the entire battle! I defintely could've saved a few of him, but once again I didn't trust my lure at all. ~ Third Round ~

I probably should've practiced this before doing a solo, but Danny gave me some great advice which made this go by so much faster. Of course I didn't understand it until half way through the round. Basically, you switch off two tables and keep the CEO in the middle, almost like piggy in the middle (pretty sweet name for a strategy eh). By doing that I was able to get in 2-3 shots before switching off and running to the other table. I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was lagging pretty bad and had to use an 80 TU and Max TU unites in this round. Good ol' Lefty has now successfully solo'd all four HQs and will be taking a break until his next adventure!
