Needless to say, the cogs hit me and i was down to -1 laff but was still battling. It took all my gags just like i had died, but it wouldnt send me back the PG. I used some SOS cards but i still felt like "A sitting Duck."Luckily I was in with some SF so i could explain to them what was happening. Anyone ever seen this before?
Yep. This is occuring throughout the game. I had it happen to me
in a building the other night. I've often thought of it as a residual
part of your toon is near a cog or goonie somewhere, taking
damage. The reason I think this is way back in Beta 2, Kraker
was TP'ing to me to do a building. Just as he was in the process
of TP'ing, he engaged a cog for battle, yet he still TP'd to me. The
result was he continued to take damage until he logged off and
back on again. The damage that kept appearing above him was
typical for the cog that tagged him on the street. It was pretty
funny, but it caused us to go through our Toon-ups in a hurry,
hehe

I know it's not the most sophisticated way of explaining the
problem but that's the best I can do. Maybe lost_packet could
give us some insight into this phenomenon. lost_packet, are you
still around?
