CEO fighting techniques

[Doctor Igor McMuffin]

There have been a couple CEO guides, but so far they've been fairly light on technique. I thought I'd toss out a couple of tricks that I've learned from my successful CEO runs that I've had.

- Use the mouse pointer to aim the seltzer squirt. Put your mouse pointer directly north of the bottle on the screen, then rotate the bottle so that your mouse pointer is on the CEO. You will always get a direct hit like this. (as long as you charge the bottle long enough)

- The mouse pointer can also be used to aim your golf hits. Again, line up the mouse pointer and your ball will go where you swing. If you have trouble getting the mouse pointer in the right place, just swing and put your mouse pointer wherever the puff of smoke is. Rotate to the CEO and swing away knowing you are on target for your next golf swing - or head to a table for a perfectly aimed squirt.

- Don't jump off a table when the CEO hits golf balls only at you. Of course you have to leave the table on a FORE, but if it's not a FORE you will not be hit even if he is aiming at you. Golf balls will hit a golfer or anyone not on a table.

- I don't know a reliable way to detect and avoid gears other than to always choose the table furthest from the CEO and jump off if you hear the gear sound. If you are using the mouse pointer trick, there's no penalty to taking a far away table.

- Choose a table that doesn't have any other toons behind you. In particular, try to avoid the middle table closest to the golfers, but also be aware if people are running behind you. If the you get a FORE and jump off, you may still get hit by golf balls heading for someone else. If nobody is behind you, this won't happen.

- Similarly, if you are running to the belts for snacks, don't run through the golfers or hang around at the belts with other toons. You significantly increase your chance of getting hit by balls aimed for other toons or, worse, getting other toons caught in the crossfire of balls that were aimed at you!

That's all I can think of. I hope it helps. I'd love to hear tips from others, especially if you've discovered a sure-fire way to avoid the gears.
