I'm sorry to hear that. Toons like that just stink! If I find someone using a map glitch to gain an advantage over me, I try to run at where they glitched and press F9. F9 is like an all-purpose key.
Anyhoo, I personally think that if a toon finishes a Factory/Mint/DA when the others aren't in the battle, everyone should dance. I also think that if a Mint/Factory/DA is completed when some toons are in a different battle, all the cogs in that battle explode, everyone dances, but cogs who weren't defeated yet don't give merits/bucks/notices. That way, toons can't grief each other. Well.. not as easily.. Just watch out for those banana peels when you put up your organic train track! :O
