DA strategy in Mints?

[Cogzilla]

It's been a long time since I have been running mints. I'm building a new toon and it seens like a lot of people are running Bullions like a DA now where they want to use 2 Fogs in every battle. In the old days we would use one Fog, three Elephants and Aoogah the remaining cogs while one toon toons up. That way you could sound the whole way through the Mint and and still have enough Fogs to finish off the Supervisor and the level 11 cogs in one battle. It seemed to go so much faster that way. The way people seem to want to run mints now, we are out of Fogs by the 6th battle and have to use various other gags to finish the Bullion.
I'm not complaining....it's just an observation. I know some people are bored with sounding their way through everytime and some want to build their gags in mints and factories. I just find it interesting that the Bullion Mint strategy has evolved into the DA strategy.

I'm maxxing Cash on my black cat (85 laffer now) and I have seen every type of "strategy" in the Bullion.

I also get harassed at the elevator and during the mint for my laff level, even though I have all level 7 gags.

I guess it's just a new batch of players going through the motions that old-timers find tedious.

I agree with you that it is best to use 1 fog at a time in the mints and everyone else use smaller sound. I have seen what you are referring to and I do agree that the larger mints are much faster by using 1 fog at a time. The only mint that I think 2 fogs works great is in the coin mint, but only because there are a small number of sets of cogs.

It's possible you arent seeing DA strategy but people skittish about losing laff. They see people doing it in the DA and think "oh boy oh boy" and dont realize in the DA half the cogs are not sounded as part of the conventional stategy.

And sometimes people just forget out of habit.

In either place I've used speedchat.

"Let's go to the District Attorney's Office!" "No."

btw when someone absentmindedly uses an extra fog in the DA I'll say "Let's go to the Mint!" when greeting the top floor skelecogs. 90% of the time they get it and switch mental gears for a 3-ele 1-fog 2 turn encounter. It's funny how getting hit by the skels otherwise means something completely different in the DA that the mint to some people.

I personally prefer it that way.

I see it both ways. I don't mind either way.

If I'm the lower laff there, I follow what the larger laffs do.

If I'm the higher laff there, I will try to save a fog, but as long as the toons are smiling and the cogs are destroyed eventually, I'm happy.

When I'm with sfs, we do the 1 fog, 3 ele.
