VERY rude toons.

[Little Daphne]

okay. i'll introduce myself first.
i'm new in TTC. i've always looked at the forums and the gallery but i never signed up.
now i did!
so anyways i'm in the bullion mint in CBHQ. and i'm with 3 toons.
so everything is great, we all heal each other to prevent one from going sad.
then we get to the mint supervisor.
one toon says "let's catch the next one." "i need more cogbucks."
by complete accident i back up and i'm battling the 4 cogs.
i say "rats! sorry! help! please!" and they just stand there, not entering the battle.
princess mandie was like "that'll learn ya!" they made me go SAD. i used my wedding cake gag and the cogs missed. and they LAUGHED.
i was so mad i just have to let this out.
and my toon was a 96 laff. this happened in nutty river.

Thats too bad. It stinks that people would assume that you purposefully tried to engage the Supervisor when it was an accident. I would have accepted your apology and jumped in to help. People should realize mistakes happen.

people have issues....... they just do that cause they dont have a life
"That'll learn them!"

Here's the story from both sides.

Your view: You accidentally backed up into the cogs. The other toons sit there and laugh at you as you go green.

The other toons' view: The other toon's think that you are a griefer trying to rid them of their cogbucks. They think when you say "Sorry!" and things like that, that you're just playing the nice act. They sit there so they won't have to do another bullion.

No matter how hard you try, some toons won't help you fight the final set of cogs if there's not an invasion. Most toons are in a rush, it seems.

[QLAT]

I am so sorry! That stinks. Some toons just arnt that sympathedic to other toons. I pity them.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. I did a couple of runs with you when I was finishing up a task I had. You are a good player and I know you wouldnt have done that on purpose. Unfortunately some toons are that way.

Sorry, but from someone who has had her fair share of annoying experiences:

When someone says they need more Cogbucks and you engage the supervisor, that's rude. It's not that hard: just stand outside the room or far away from him. When I'm trying to get a ridiculous amount of whatever (let me tell you, 14,400 jury notices takes FOREVER) and someone doesn't wait for an invasion after being asked, I have little sympathy for them if they go sad or their gags miss. In the years playing, I've had WAY too many toons go, Oops! Sorry! It's obviously NOT a mistake a lot of the time, especially when you see they either just needed a couple hundred cogbucks or were just there finishing a toontask. The fact that you used your wedding cake would only tell me that you were purposely griefing (if I hadn't read this). If it happens again (which, really, it shouldn't), the proper thing is to use lure or say Let's use lure, Sorry I can't, if you don't have lure.
That being said, the toons were really ignorant for laughing when your wedding cake missed. I might have no sympathy, but I'm not a jerk.

uhhh..... still. that doesnt mean that they shouldnt help

For future reference:

A peace offering could have been offered: Lure the cogs, call your doodle, continue calling your doodle to stall....that would show them you were NOT a griefer...and that you did it accidentally.

You can stall this way until the next invasion.

good tip!!

[igor7907]

I have had this happen. Quick open book toss invasion. Engage while shouting "Prepare to die cog scum!!!!!" Problem solved. Note this only works if you are not the one that tripped the cogs.

Sorry that you had to join TTC on this note. I think Blinky is right, you kind of just have to look at it from both sides.

Absolutely the best way to handle engaged cogs while waiting for inv... I love training my doodle to wait but usually don't for fear of upsetting someone (unless I'm with friends).

[Miss Me]

Lure is the best way to hold the cogs until the next invasion. Its horrible that that happened to you, but we have all been hit with griefers that seem to have put us all on edge.

I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and by using your wedding cake may have triggered them to think that you really were a griefer.

I have jumped to close and engaged before, but I just lure and wait. I like playing with my doodle while waiting, good training and shows I need the buxs as well.
