Lagged toon dances in building

[Domino]

This I found rather amusing, and I had not seen it before tonight.

I was doing a 3S building with 2 other toons. We mowed through the 1st floor easily, but on the 2nd floor there was some delay between killing the initial cogs and the new ones appearing from the elevator. After that, things got a little quirky as it seemed like one of my fellow toons was lagging.

After killing all the cogs on the 2nd floor, we all do our dance and then one companion and I run and board the elevator. The full 90 seconds counts down but the final party member does not enter the elevator. Typically when I've had this happen, I'll get a message saying "[Toon] has logged out." Not so this time.

My remaining companion and I enter the third floor. Who is there in the middle, but our lagged friend, still doing his happy toon dance. So as my one friend and I battle through the remaining cogs, the other friend keeps doing his dance. I wish I had a screenshot of it, it was quite comical. We'd be there doing our gags and (hopefully) dodging attacks, and he'd keep right on dancing through it all. Of course at the end of it all, only the two of us fighting on the 3rd floor got credit, and we were the only ones shown exiting the building.

I wouldn't really classify this as a harmful bug, probably something that makes this game more endearing.

Yes I've seen the same thing.
Probably not endearing to the dancing toon though. heh heh.
Wasn't a secret friend so I never knew how it appeared to them.

The dancing toon sees nothing but a frozen screen. That toon got the clock 0 bug. If he was lucky he escaped the building without going sad and losing all his gags.

I haven't seen it....not even in a cog building. But it sounds pretty weird.

o/~ Dance, dance, wherever you may be...
o/~ I am the toon of the dance, said he...
o/~ To turn, turn, would be a delight...
o/~ 'Till by turning, turning the cogs we fight!

Sorry...couldn't resist

If you are dancing, you survived the floor (whatever floor it was). OK you are blocked and have to log out but:

1) You are not made sad
2) You do not lose all your gags.
