CFO Problems?

[Lady Gwen]

Three or four days ago I lost six battles in a row and they were not all short changers. If everyone helped out instead of being selfish we can win. Here is a very good example... WE WON WITH ONLY 5 TOONS!!!

Hubby and I went in with only 6 toons--a loan shark jumped and so did a short change. As soon as we went into battle one toon discoed. We were down to five toons. Any way I thought we were toast. We had three toons on crane, myself and a cat were goon stompers. When I had the chance to get on the crane...I would throw safes to the other toons or get rid of some goons. I am happy to say that WE WON!!!! So you never know what it is going to be like in the CFO. The key word is TEAM WORK .

I myself like to operate a crane but if I cannot get to one ( which does happen) I will stomp and protect.(As I should) The problem is that some people will resort to standing right beside you saying you stink because they want to operate the crane and will even go as far to let the goons hit you. then take your crane. All the while proceding to throw safes on the cfo when he is not stunned. I try to tell them don't throw a safe now. Throw a safe now. All i can do but it stilllllll seems that some are so self centered about this issue that it does not matter. I litterally had to shutof my computer today and just step away. I was so furious about the play of some toons. Yes, it is a little overboard for me to feel this way, But i am here for the fun of the game. I may not get to do what i want all of the time but I am ok with that. I will stomp goons and protect a crane operator. I will try to teach those who do not know how to defeat the CFO.

I guess all I am saying here is to have a little respect for the other toons. Don't go frantic if you see some red hat goons. If everyone stays calm and sticks to their job of crane or stomper and not go off on a tangent of scrambling for tu because there are red hat goons. I know people are doing this becaue in my 2 losses today I would have to evade goons myself and I would try to get into a collection of people to use a toon-up unite phrase. 1 for 80 pts and the other a max toon-up. Wouldn't you know it. I use a TU phrase and the group i am around when i use this get like 20-30 laff out of it. and they are scrambling like chickens with their heads cut off.

This is not rocket science people. It is a kids game desingned to promote teamwork. Hense, the CFO battle. If you cannot play as part of a team and be willing to listen to the advise of others, or play your part of protection/ crane operator. Then stay the heck out.

Will i go back to the CFO tomorrow? Yes. Will I win? Possibly. Will i rant if I get the same results? Yes.

By the way, If anyone is tired of this like myself. please post. I would like to start a organised group for CFO battles. Only have 2 rules. Being able to except the role of stomper if the cranes are taken and being willing to accept advise of others in the event that you may not know how to fight the CFO.

People accepted into an organised CFO group are as follows:
1. Megadoodle maxed gags no drop, lvl-5 trap, 105 laff, lvl 9 Money Bags
2. Weepingband
3. Queen CrankySourface#1 all maxed but trap, no drop, 105 laff, lvl 4 short change
4. Queen CrankySourface#2 gags maxed, no trap, 107 laff, level 2 penny pincher
5. Doctor Leroy Weaselpuff maxed all but lvl 5 lure and drop, no trap, 106 laff, lvl 5 Number Cruncher

7. Noisy Rhubarb all maxed, no lure, 109 laff, lvl 5 Penny Pincher
8. Snoop Dawg

10.
More If needed
Hope to plan a run for sometime on the middle or end of this week. Probably late afternoon to evening hours but not for sure

Wow, short change to money bags without going sad!!! Consider yourself lucky! Those of us that didn't have the chance to play on test have gone sad countless times to get to the same level as you. Were all there to learn the cfo, and going sad is part of learning. Considering your level without going sad until now, I guess I don't understand your rant!
I have avoided learning the crane operation up till now, (when toons ask to work the crane I assume they know how) I have taken the protecter position with no problem.
What I don't understand is when I see all 8 toons running around taking toonups while the cfo is nearly finished but unfortunately has a helmet on. This is when I try to use the crane, but without protection, it gets me no where. When the red goons are over populated, crane operators can easily kill some off with safes, but my experience everyone flips out and all will go sad.

My point here is one bad day of going sad for the first time after so many cfo victories, just doesn't warrant a rant! Remember not all got to learn on test on what to do before it came to open. And from what I can see, and I'm not saying all testers, I know several who are out there teaching us the ropes, but seems a majority of those that were on test are sticking with their own groups to see who can get that RB 50 suit first!
I was here when Sellbot first came out on open, and shake my head now on how many times I went sad there before learning what to do.
Seems to me, CFO will probably be the same, time and experience.

Oh, and not interested in joining the group, I will continue to learn all aspects with others, even if it means hanging my head in DDL a 100 more times.

Good luck!!!

I think what is happening is that the first group of toons to get their complete suit were people that had a lot of time to devote to the game and/or an ability to be very strategic in their play. Now the next group is finishing their suits and they need time to try it out and fail. I'm now a SC 5 and i'm finally starting to get pretty good at the crane.

What frustrates me is that now there is NO penalty for failing in the CFO (no merit loss or part loss) and people STILL cause an elevator shuffle when SC 1s and 2s get on the elevator. People need experience getting through the CFO and who best to show them the ropes than people with higher suits.

This is all IMOHO.

This morning I went to CFO with a random group of all levels. I've become pretty good at the cranes, but always wait to see if there is one available. There was, and I began working it, getting in some good shots. However, I had to leave frequently to take care of goons, since the stompers were not always covering my territory. The fight was proceeding quite well and the CFO's light was already red when I noticed the goon population growing dangerously large. I looked around and realized that most of the other toons had bailed. Why? I tried to stomp as many goons as possible, but went sad when attacked by a whole battalion of them. What's up with this? Are toons leaving prematurely out of panic? What's the worst that can happen? You don't lose parts or merits, so worst-case scenario you have to buy new gags. Since most of us 100+ toons have more jellybeans than we can possibly ever spend, it's no tragedy. We could have won! Have a little courage, toons.

Can I join you too?
Pip, 105 laff, no trap.

I play in the afternoon.

I prefer to try stomping.
I haven't tried CFO before, but I am ready, and I will give it my best shot
esp. with the teamwork.

[Comet Meganoodle]

hey I wanna do CFO together with you... I know what to do there... Im a Penny Pincher lvl 2

[Megadoodle]

Just remember, Only 2 rules. Accept your job as crane operator, or protector. You may not be the best at it but we all need to be willing to accept the fact that someone else allready has taken a possition and it is not available to you. However if I would happen to be on crane and I get knocked off because of gears or goons. Then someone is more than welcome to take over my crane and then i will protect them..... this is a team event and we need to work it this way. I will be sendind a pm to all of those who have shown interest in this about a time that we can try to meet. Might have more than 8 but we don't have to do just 1 run. actually it would be kinda nice to see enough to fill the elevator 2-3 times.
