Well then if she went to a different district, she couldn't very well get her invasion merits could she now?

And thats all I have to say about that... stupid is as stupid does... lol (don't mind me)

Not sure where this came from (left field?)

a full factory run with 2 toons maxed in sound has nothing to do with soloing the factory, which is what this OP is about.

My route for soloing takes about 8-9 minutes, and earns between 392 and 472 merits (depending on whether the invasion has started by a certain room).

A full factory run with 2 toons maxed in sound requires
A) another toon willing to sound with you
B) said toon willing to hustle on a long run

That's all fine and dandy if you HAVE such a toon available. Even if I did, I prefer my route for 472 merits, which takes about 6 minutes, doesnt require a gag shop trip in between (can do 3 runs before needing gags) so earns about 200 more merits in the same amount of time. But again, we arent talking abuot that. The OP was about soloing the factory, and asking other toons to RESPECT the wishes of those doing them.

As I respect that you prefer to do only full runs with toons with maxed sound.

Some toons get stubborn and make a career out of getting onto the same elevator as you, even though you've made it perfectly clear that you don't want them along. It doesn't do much good to go into the factory and then teleport out; they'll just teleport right to you. Changing districts is a solution, but if you're on River with the constant invasions, it can be a major inconvenience. Reporting them rarely does any good, as it's hard to prove that they're stalking you.

One particular toon, a red cat with about 40 laff and low gags (fruit pie, squirt bottle, bugle) got a wild hair about going along with me when I wanted to solo the Factory from the side entrance. I made it clear that I didn't want him along. He didn't care and hopped on over and over. I went in and teleported out. He teleported to me, along with "Ha ha!" and "You stink!" I was on River, so I didn't want to change districts.

I finally got tired of it and went in. He followed, but he stayed behind and didn't go into any battles. I tried glitching the warehouse, but he knew the glitch, too. He stood there just off the elevator on the West Silo and waited until I cleared those cogs, then ran to the Center Silo and waited there. He didn't even have the decency to hit the switch for me. I went and cleared the East Silo, using a 40 unite to get back to full (108) laff, then went to fight the Foreman. He went right in with me. Of course, I stood there and did nothing until he went sad.

I went to refill gags, and when I returned, he was waiting at the entrance to the factory. I went to the side entrance, and of course he followed. The same scenario occurred, with him staying behind and letting me do all the work. When I went to fight the Foreman, he stood just inside the door. I used hypno-goggles, and he joined me. I used an aoogah, and he was sad within a few rounds, although he did manage to clear off all but the foreman before that happened.

One run later, this git was standing at the entrance again and followed me to the side entrance. He had it all planned this time. At the Foreman, he waited just inside the room. I lured, but he didn't budge. A Wedding Cake later, I was dancing, and he was standing there stinking me again.

lol! I got pay back on a red cat with the same laff and gags(maybe the same toon) I made him go sad then reported him!

The posts before mine quoted were talking about times for the factory... so I chimed in with the time that I knew best. And thus my silly Forest Gump quote at the end... don't read into it. I wasn't trying to say soloing was stupid or anything, just that was all I had to say as I rarely solo since getting a second computer. It was purely for information...
