Some of the new 2005 black cats are done with Lil Oldman tasks, and have their final gag. Wow! That was fast! Hooray! Nice gag! Let's work on that.

Working gags is so much a part of this game to me, as for many toons, and it takes alot of teamwork, sometimes backward thinking even to NOT KILL, for someone else's later round gag choice. Thus far working with mostly other newer black cat toons my experiences have been superb in areas of success and teamwork.

However ~Here's a scenario that happened to me tonight. I thought it was worth sharing. I posted same under Tips, Tactics and Questions as well.

A friend calls me to do a building. I arrive and I call my friend who needs it.
4 toons ranging in laff points from 45-about 80 enter a 5 story cashbot building in Dreamland. We breeze through the first 4 floors, luring if needed an oncoming cog and aiming together to take out each cog.
5th floor presents us with something like this Loan Shark 9, Robber Baron 9, Robber Baron 10, Loan Shark 9, Money Bags 8. I aim my weak Birthday Cake at the 8 on the right. Two toons lured together, one with a Big Blue Magnet, the other a LEVEL 2 Small Red Magnet. I think the other toon (a friend) used a smaller cake aimed with me at the 8, which we weren't able to kill. Lure misses, now we take major hits from the cogs. All 4 toons are alive but low in laffpoints. Here comes round 2: Same lure scenario presents, Big Blue Magnet and a Small Red Magnet, my one friend says "Let's use Toonup". She uses cane, but she's the only one tooning. Shocker~Lure misses AGAIN!
My toon goes sad. I was on my uber new black cat, with 45 laffs, ELLY/SOUND, BIRTHDAYCAKE/THROW, HOSE/SQUIRT, SAFE/DROP.

I believe there is a time and a place for gagcamping. And cool enough there is even an EVENT on forum here where you can find it! In my opinion the other time is when: You have 1-2 remaining cogs on last floor. NO DOUBT the 5th FLOOR IS THE PLACE TO WORK GAGS, I'm not disputing that! Using a red magnet on 4-5 LARGE COGS is just not a wise choice/idea. Lure can be worked very easily on one to 2 remaining cogs without jeopardizing the team

I wanted to share that experience with others because so many new black cats will be getting their final gags soon.

Good teamwork!
Let's work on that.
