Well, I'm sorry that happened to you. But, people have to learn somewhere. I'm sure you weren't always an expert. I'm horrible at craning in the CFO b/c I don't really get a chance to practice b/c people get annoyed and want to get out really quick.

Yes, I am pretty annoyed about that also. I am a really nice person and I don't like to be mean but, People who are new to the CFO need to read guides or just disable goons until they understand. You can also always say "Don't throw a safe now!" and "Pick up a disabled goon and throw it at the CFO.", But most of the time it doesn't work. You can also go with the CCG.

[Blinky Purplemuffin]

Well, obviously, "try going with the CCG". (Who hasn't heard that before?)

Try to help other toons win the CFO rather than get frustrated with them. When they throw a safe onto the CFO when he's not dizzy, say the phrase "Don't throw a safe now!", and "A safe will become his new helmet," or the phrases that are similar to those.

[Nutty Wacky]

I did all that but one of them keeps saying throw a safe now all the time he even got mad at us for removing the safe . . .but everyone ignored him

most of the time they really are trying to help, but they are confused about what to do. you just have to let them learn from their mistakes. try to coach them through it and help them understand. if they can't get the hang of it, or if they are ignoring you and you think they're TRYING to tick everyone off, then wait until the CFO throws gears at them and take over their crane.

tried failed

If you try giving advice to them, and it doesn't help, I don't know what to say. When helping a noob at the cranes, only let them start and go until the CFO gets down a ways. Take over the craning once the going gets tough, or just try not to go with them, but I do not advise elevator shuffling. Someone has to start somewhere, and you were once them. They may also be a griefer, who knows. Good luck trying to teach them.

[Nutty Wacky]

I did all that exept elevator shuffling and they never give the cranes when the cfo is stronger

Take a stroll over the the TIE-DYE NATION thread in TT Clans...they are running balanced loads...so the toons that need to work on stomping and craning skills can do so in a fairly safe environment. As long as you follow the Loading Technique everyone should dance!

They are also working on an Academy to help toons perfect their battling skills. Did I mention they are having a blast at it? Read through the last 5 or so pages!

Check it out!

ok tnx 4 the tip

A couple of days ago, I did a CCG cfo run to get to RB 16.
We had 2 maxed toons and me as an RB. The rest of the toons are like Tightwad and up.
The cog round went smoothly, but the craning...
NONE of these toons did NOT know how to disable goons. I think the maxed toons stayed in the crane, and me too. We got the CFO red, but the stompers avoided the goons and let the goons swarm us craners.
These toons would step in the light and like.. jump in place.
There's goons in the factory, and mints, like.. how HARD is it to disable a goon?

Sorry, this sounds really mean. But it was a horrible CFO.
I got rid of the helmet and saw i was down to 10-ish laff and I alted out to save my level 7's.

[Big Flip]

Well, I have found this a problem.

It has made me go sad before in the CFO. To fix the problem, just throw another safe at it's head. This should knock off the other safe.

[Big Coconut]

The CCG has newbies as well, keep in mind. I caused a whole group to go sad a long time ago when I was a Short Change by throwing safes at him because I thought he was "stunned" whenever he was hit by a goon. Nobody whispered, nor said to be to Don't throw a safe now, but they knew I was doing it because it was mentioned in CCG reports. If someone told that to me, and I saw the hurt toons around me, I would have stopped craning instantly. So always tell them if they are doing something wrong, they are new and innocent, and it could just save you.

[ThirdChild]

Omg get over it. I do that to on my 91 laffer Short Story, sometimes i do it on purpose sometimes i do it on accident. But big deal! THEY ARE TRYING TO LEARN SOMETHING! I always have toons ask to use the cranes that a 83-110 laff i will give it to them, But if they throw a safe all i do is wait till they get attacked and run to the crane and knock it off then i get off again. So what if they throw safes. It isnt the end of the world! U can get ur gags back!
