HURRY theres a cog invasion

[mick]

what is it with some people, we hit floor 5 just landed and bang invasion kicks off, great another gag saved. this tells me i got roughly 12 mins to go so time to get a wriggle on, this is gonna be close. fly through floor 5 2 puzzles no trub sounded cogs, then sounded guard set of cogs (we got a restock) ok onto floor 6, sounds first set, misses, we lure, knock em off one by one but going well still we can still fog the super, gets to the super sound misses again, we still have 6 fogs left, 1 toon low on lps, i said i have enough gags( meaning unites tu from cfo) lets use sound, 3 of us sound 1 goes on tu, ok super left now, he gives it the ole hand wiggle and were all hurting, now were outta time, we should all sound and quickly, BUT NOOOOOO 2 toons decide to use tu again, now im mad, are you new here i need jury notices hurry, i did tell them this since floor 5. no excuse. guess what super is blowing up and invasion ends. and another da run to my list thanx alot.
just to rub it in the 2 toons who were not o helpful needed less than 300 jns... what r u doing in here in the first place.. lets go and take over a cog building or go in office A. if im being unduly harsh i apologise but i expect a standard of play befitting office D, same as the bullion mint. if ya dont know what your doing go and practice first pleeeese. basic etiquette towards your fellow toons. odd thing is this has happened several times and is very annoying, just make the effort that is all i ask, to not make the effort is potentially adding more da runs to my list, no thank you.

In the time between me working the cat and me working the bear, things have changed greatly. I told a bunch of my friends not working law yet, I know you like to toon up even when we're down less than 20 but the D office will break you of that. The joke's on me because things are back to the way they always were everywhere else: Down 5 laff? OMG you need a toon-up!

Other than the fact that more of my friends are doing law at the same pace as my bear, I am hating working law now and this is why. DA offices take about 10 minutes longer because everyone's worried about being down a few laff all the time.

As for your story.. this kind of thing happens to me more in the mint than in the DAs. I've lost out on about as many invasion in the mint as I have had invasions for. I've also used more of my invasions working cash than I have working law. Crazy stuff.

haha that is funny!!

[PinkyPurpleberry]

I hear ya Mick, I've lost quite a few myself lately for the same reason. By now the vast majority of toons should know what we mean by these phrases. Apparently not tho. It's especially frustrating when it ends as the last cog dies. I wish that unless it was a a brand new invsion that no one would TU unless it was a dire emergency. I always keep finished tasks for quick TU after the battle, or I can always run home to my doodles afterwards. Unless I'm gonna die I prefer we just hurry and get the invasion.

im not blaming the toons personally but it is indicative of lesser experienced toons. these ones who havnt reached the heights of big wig and only needing little notices have no idea about the true value of invasions. ive only had 1 bad mint im sure my friend will concur but these two other toons with us although being told to get a move on did not on purpose. i cannot understand why. this to me is griefing. we lost our bux and had to run another mint for the sake of a few seconds.
weve been down to less than 40 lps on a da super and still fogged, because jns are more important than tu. we can allways use our unites, again knowlegde gained with experience.

I personally get a little annoyed when the toons are constantly tooning up during the DA office. I feel that most of the time, tooning up is unnecessary. The puzzles usually do a decent job of restoring some laffpoints when needed, and lest we forget the occasional toon up barrels that restock a significant amount of laff points. I think, especially with the 105's or so, that they are more interested in their toon up gag training than the 300 jury notices that they need to get. A little annoying after a while guys...

Yea cool i really dont feel sorry for u this happend to be 5times when i had to get 14400 and endded up doing 3more DAs. Ok so they didnt hurry up and and u dont get the BOUNS JN u get but u dont have to be harsh.AND SECOND u said u want to get the standard of playing the befitting office D ok then, Invation ENDED, Was it UR INVATION???? no MAYBE u should make a INVATION so u can get the STANDERD OF PLAYING D I had about 17 invations now i got 0 just so i can get the STANDERD OF PLAYING D and that invation helped about 20-50 other toons who where in the DA when i set off invation. DA office D is only 1000 or little more (dont know) and that is the standerd, and only with a INVATION will u get 1542 which that 500+ is the BOUNS of some helpful toon that wants to helpout "NICE" get 500 jns more...

ole come come im not being harsh, it is just common sense, if theres an invasion and you can complete it in time why waste 1, wheres the sense, also if your allready engaged with the guard set you cannot start one, obviously since you dont have any now you are going to need to hit these invasions more than me. and just for your information when ive maxed my cj rewards, ill be able to run alot more invasions, youll have to run alot more cjs to max your cj rewards. ive known people here who have waited upto 20 mins for 1 to start.....

If you're going to be a martyr about being oh-so-nice, why are you even bothering to be as nice as you say you are?

[sara73]

If an invasion starts and you can complete the da/factory or mint that you are in, it makes sense to hurry things up and finish before it ends. To argue otherwise is arguing for the sake of it.

I have done lots of runs where toons purposely sabotage the run for all the other players regardless of whether they need the invasion or not, stalling choosing their gags and killing the cogs while the other toons are waiting for an invasion to start, then saying 'ha ha' whilst dancing!. This is definatley griefing and these toons are not team players

[ziggy zooblezap]

Ooooh. I agree with you. No problem, and No Worries, don't always work. I went thru a D one time where the two toons we were with were upset we didn't toon-up, and decided they were going to leave, even tho the puzzles and a barrel were next. OOF.

A study of the D office would be a good idea. Of course, if there is an opening, please feel free, but if we need to kill the cogs, then please do so.

We should all be experienced toons here, and maybe even have unites from the CFO should we need to use them. I don't think there are many toons out there that would let you go back to the playground.

Don't be ascared. We won't hurt you.

You and Mick make it sound as though EVERY toon knows about the invasion rule OR even reads any of the forums.......... THIS is a CHILD'S game and some can't even read as yet ..... and some don't want to read forums, they want action.
If you want to play ADULT games there are plenty online, other then that....WELCOME TO TOON TOWN ... HAVE FUN!!!!

Very good point and I'm certain we have all lost out on invasions. Some toons have not gained enough experience to learn that invasions double the merits, buxs, and jn's. Also, there are many kids playing that are just trying to have fun.

Not everyone goes online to fan sites. I'm certain there are many toons that wonder why Nutty River is always full.

Using the invasion timer I was wondering about the 12 minutes. The average invasion time I have seen is 10:30 (8 shortest/ 15 longest).

The 8 was for a cc invasion and the 15 was for a holly invasion.

If it will be less than 2 minutes for the invasion to end then the best plan would be to stop and wait for a new one. Sometimes you can waste upto 40 seconds just getting everyone (toons/cogs) into the battle then let us not forget we have to choose gags. Have the animations for the gag hits/misses, cogs attack if still alive, cogs booming if dead....

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Is not the answer all the time. Stop and smell the roses every once in a while. Those DA's aren't going anywhere!

One final thought, with the level 7 gags now available be considerate that toons want those TU points to get the High Dive. Everyone is working gags again!

Well first of all this thread is over 2 months old. Second, my opinion hasnt changed. Whereas I'm fully aware that this is a kids game, most toons in office D can read, unless someone else has worked their toon up to that level it would take alot of effort on the part of a 5 year old to get to that far. If they can get that far I expect that they can understand basic speedchat. Wait or hurry is as simple as it gets. You dont have to read forums to understand those simple phrases. Disney designed the game so that all players could easily communicate in the spirit of cooperative game play. Its hardly cooperative to ignore your team and follow your own objective, but we all know such players exist and that they are not all children.

That said I dont know why you picked me to quote, but Have Fun and Welcome to Toontown!
