I remember that run...it was sweet and fast. It's rare...but there are times I've gone in with strangers and we sounded through a 44-cog mint in less than 20 minutes!

For fast runs there are a couple of important things to know/or have and agree on. (1) the mint map that tells you what's up ahead so you can (2) use the gags appropriately.

For the most part (depending on what order the rooms are in -- restocks are great but can't always be counted on being useful) I like to use only 1 foghorn on all groups of cogs that contain 10's. A row of 11's requires 2 foghorns and at least 1 aoogah and 1 elephant.

Ok, enough of the gag strategy, that's fodder for another thead. Most of the time, there isn't enough time BEFORE a run for me to gather many merits/bucks. I will certainly help anyone doing them though. A little time in the mornings...some in the early afternoon (have to pick up child from school at 3:00 p.m. CST) and late nights are my most available time slots. I'll start out in Giggly and see who else might be there.

One other thing that might help is an outside chat engine. I usually have MSN on...sometimes Yahoo...often Ventrilo. If you use any of those, feel free to contact me concerning any bucks/merits you are running.
