andrew solo CEO from start to finish!!!!

[andrew]

It started March 16, at 9:37PM and finished March 17th at 12:28AM.

One toon dumb enough to waste loads of TU TOWS and what little SOS cards and pink slips that he had to take on the CEO by himself. His name, andrew, 132 laff mouse.

I will edit this post with pictures and details but I'm so thrilled to get that out of the way.

I went in with 21 pink slips and used every single one of them on level 12 V2 COGS.

For TU TOW, I used the following:

10 laff TU TOW 41
20 laff TU TOW 18
40 laff TU TOW 19
80 laff TU TOW 16
Max laff TU TOW 10

For GAGS UP TOW, I used
9 Gag-up ALL
1 Gag-up LURE

SOS CARDS (don't laff because I don't have a lot of these - even less now)
3 Moe Zart
7 Clerk Clara
7 LOM
1 Barnacle Bessie (and, yes, it did MISS)

I fought 79 V2 COGS per my tasks when comparing after CEO to before CEO

I was able to eliminate 8 V2 COGS during the waiter part by taking out 4 on the left side near the belt and 4 on the right side near the belt. There was only 60ish seconds left which isn't enough time to take out any additional cogs.

EDIT: There were 2 additional COGS at the start of the second battle when normally, you would see 1 on each side. I suspect that there were originally 47 V2 cogs (45 at the tables and 2 waiting at the start of the second battle).

I had 9 tables of Cheeseheads (big cheese) with 5 at each table or 45 V2 lvl 12 COGS at the start of the waiter section. Since I took out 8, that meant that I only needed to defeat 37 of them. The best part of this battle (which I think is a bug) is I only had to fight and kill the 4 COGS in front of me before another set of COGS came. This was helpful in that that I could do some doodle calls after cleaning off 3 of them to help out a little bit.

CLARIFICATION - for the 2nd battle after the waiter section, I only had to fight and kill 4 cogs AT ONE TIME. Once ALL 4 of these cogs/skels were gone, then, and only then, would another set of 4 COGS fly over from the table. This was helpful because I didn't have a continuous flow of new COGS/SKELS coming over and could focus on eliminating each set of 4 COGS independent of the other COGS at the table. There were 2 benefits - 1st was that a kill was better than wounding a COG since another one didn't take it's place, and 2nd, I could use lure on the last COG and call my doodle for TU (doodle provided over 100 laff TU in total).

Durning the CEO battle, I was hit 3 times, 1 for 19, 1 for 66, and 1 for 42ish. I didn't get hit any additional times during the CEO and only used 2 TU TOW (1 80 TU TOW and 1 40 TU TOW).

Some Pictures posted below. Additional ones to come

Here are some more pictures.

Some additional comments / observations:

1. Since you can't see your laff during the 2nd battle, it's important to keep track of how much laff you have left, otherwise, you'll end up using loads of 10 and 20 laff TU TOW to make sure that you don't go sad. I wasn't paying attention at one point and then noticed my laff was a 5. I consider myself lucky not to have been sent back to the playground.

2. I only used 3 tables near the right side belt. I always tried to make sure that the CEO was turned away from the table I was at so that I could jump off as soon as he started to turn. I didn't want to get run over and get 'stuck'. I did hop on the table of couple of times only to see the CEO heading my way. That sent my heart pounding as I jumped off as quickly as possible. I didn't get run over by the CEO at all (thank goodness).

3. I have no idea how many points the CEO has. I tried a few times to keep track but got confused and gave up after a while. The CEO battle is more a battle of patience and constant moving.

4. I only got in -2 hits and always just 1 hit before I had to jump off the table. I played it very carefully because I didn't want to make a mistake that would send me back to the playground. The 3 hits that I did receive was because I wasn't being careful where I stood waiting for the CEO to target me (I stood behind the table instead of off to the side and took a hit because of it).

Enjoy!!!!

Here's a couple of questions:

1. Did you use a certain strategy or any techniques?

2. How long did the seltzer round last?

How long did the Seltzer round last:

Each part of the battle (first COG round + waiter, 2nd COG round, and CEO) took approximately 1 hour for each of them.

Did you use a certain strategy or any techniques:
1. Pink Slip was saved for level 12 COGS only.
2. To kill a row of level 12 COGS, I fogged, took damage, lured, and kill 1, lure the SKEL, killed another COG, then fogged everyone again. This allowed me to use cloud to kill the 2 COGS that were left after luring them all again.
3. I always tried to keep the CEO facing away from the table I was at so that I wouldn't get run over and 'stuck'.
4. Brute force - Kill or wound as much as possbile, take your lumps, TU, and start all over again.

The cannon is because I used a pink slip to fire the COG. The pink slip is the new reward from beating the CEO. I had 21 of them and used them all on level 12 COGS to save having to try and kill them with gags.

Short shots only for -2. I also just used 3 tables near the right side belt so I could be near TU treats if I needed them.

The tables I used were the 3 in the corner by the right side belt and it served as a triangle to help contain the CEO from moving all over the place.

Corporate Raiders????? I wish!!!! NO, I had all level 12 Cheeseheads (big cheese). I would have killed to have Level 11 Corporate Raiders. I can't kill a level 12 COG/SKEL with 1 gag (at least that I had in my inventory). I took a lot of damage trying to finish off the level 12 COGS

I salute you.

You are amazing.

[Slate]

You were the first, yay! Good job, im sure you are really happy. (:
You only got hitted 3 times? Thats great, then the really hard thing was the cogs? It took 2 hours and 51 minutes, thats almost 3 hours... How long did the last part take? I didn't know that he has damage of 42 and even 66, that stinks. Did you use any level 7 gags? Do you feel like it was worth it or it was a waste of unites and pink slips?

[Captain Lefty Dynoglop]

Wow....soloed already and it's only been out less than 2 weeks.... Congrats!

[QLAT]

Wow!! Congradulations! That is an amazing feat. I wish I had that many SOS's and Unites. Well, cheers to being the first one to defeate the CEO alone!

[The_Farmer]

Wow, that's just amazing. Give yourself a pat on the back for holding the title of the first to solo the CEO!

[Sweet Mischief]

wow, great job!! thats just amazing!

[Doctor Mac]

Grats andrew! What was your technique for the seltzer round? It would be pretty hard to find out a way to take out all those v2 level 12s. Think you would've used more pink slips if you had them?

[Queen Violet Hulawig]

Congratulations!!!

[cputnal]

Given that I'm just happy when I dance with 8 of us in there, this is totally amazing. You rock!

(now they need to bring out the 9 bean and 10 bean flowers to keep you busy )
