This was Alvin’s third run of the day but I am reporting it first because it was so strange. After finishing everything else I wanted to do for the evening, I logged in and made sure Alvin was full up on gags and health. I checked to see which friends were in ToonTown and noted a few but none seemed to be positioned for a CJ run. Alvin threw a few hellos and proceeded to Lawbot HQ through the amazing short cut his grandson had shown him earlier in the evening. He entered the tunnel and…..waited….and…. waited….. Finally we got a message that the server seemed to be busy but the software was still trying. Then I was informed that my internet connection had been broken. That means with Disney of course, my internet connection was fine, Disney’s was not. So I tried again. During these efforts I observed that the Melody and Familiar tattletales were displaying unusual logging in and out behavior also. The second effort was the same as was the third. I decided to try one more time and this one was different. After a long wait, I got a completely gray screen with a gaggle of tiny toons in the upper left corner. Eventually the Lawbot plaza painted in and I made my way to the milling-around area. There were not a lot of toons there! As we waited I continued to see friends logging in and out and offered teleport help but that did not seem to work. When the clock struck 11:30 there was no rush to the big doors and I began to suspect that perhaps everyone was experiencing strangeness. Crazy C.W. was there as well as Maroon Snootsniffer. Finally we moved inside. I waited to see if Melody or Familiar was going to make it but finally we were down to the last load so I boarded. My screenshot from the front shows a full elevator. The one from the rear shows haley missing. When our suits were stripped in the elevator, both haley and Baby Peppermint were missing. As we faced the cogs my team was at four and I worried about the other side which I thought was at two. We stumbled our way through the cog round with hits and misses and poor choices in some cases. At one point action on our side ceased. Our toons and the cogs just stood there with our gag choice miniwindows still showing. We were able to speed chat our wonderment and we could both see and hear things going on normally on the other side. I began to worry that this would be a case where things unfroze to show that the software had played without us and we were sad. This lasted for a full two minutes then our cog set disappeared and a new set appeared without bothering to walk out. We never had a chance to see their levels and they turned out to be all twelves. We recovered from that under-kill and continued. We had piano misses and lure misses, the normal stuff. We finished and ran to the other side. To my surprise, there were three toons there. Haley had not disappeared from the battle. I tried to join but could not. That was odd as only three toons were showing. Then Truman appeared from the guts of the CJ and skidded across the floor into an odd position directly behind Toon. I am not sure if he was ever allowed to participate in the final battle. During the jury seating things went normally with Alvin and me contributing little; however we did manage to seat five. At that point, the tattletales in the screenshot show Peppermash still with us. Alvin took up his usual position at the bench end of the cog-line and began stunning. At times he managed to three stuns when folks were running for evidence but mostly we two stunned. Even though we went into the battle four laff points down and missed a couple of jumps and got hammered once we still stayed fairly high on the scale due to stun bonuses and Truman periodically slamming us with evidence on his way by. From my screen shots it appears that Alvin, Truman and Toon were certainly stunning, and haley and Infinity were clearly panning. The battle ended with Loopy apparently on his way to or from getting evidence so I am not sure what position he played during the battle. I have no idea when Peppermash disappeared but he was not there when the CJ declared our victory. During Alvin’s dance the scoreboard showed he had lost all his level 7 gags and had loaded the backups. This worried me in light of the two minute cog battle hang-up where we have no idea what the computers did. This was a long battle, lasting 45 minutes overall. We took 16 minutes to defeat the cogs, and 22 minutes to win the case. The CJ jumped 22 times and Alvin made 10 trips for evidence. Afterwards we were happy to find out we had not lost any level seven gags. I do not have a laff level for Toon and forum searches did not turn up any information. I would like to know a little more about this run. And I have a question. Obviously, if you get hammered enough and you miss jumps you can go sad in a CJ. But other than that, what happens, does it just go on forever till you win or exit or can you actually lose the case and all go sad?

Hi, Im Haley and I remember this fight....I didnt see anything strange about this run...Iwas fairly new to the CJ fighting and got lots of advice and help for others...I think it went well. Thanks, Haley

Sorry, I was reading this and was a bit confused. From Alvin's original post I see this run took place six months ago. Were you referring to a more recent run or was there a question on the January run still? I believe the pig is globetrotting again as he has not harrassed my monkeys recently and I am left with only Lady Fluffy Googlemuffin to pick on.

When I read your quote, I read in amazement! I just could not connect with the described events! And then I looked at the date! Well, no wonder, I hardly have enough neurons still solidly connected to remember a battle from last week, let alone from way back in January!

I can understand you being puzzled....I just happened to read it the other day and I should have put the date on it...sorry

OK run. As a side note, laff is important, but please don't worry about it when someone has only lost a few. It's better to hit the pan unless they're in dire need of laff points.

[chocolatte]

This is about the 6pm Vp run on 6/22/08. Terrible!!!! There were 3 of us on the elevator, people kept getting on and then hopping off and let us leave with 3 of us on it! Needless to say, we gave it our best shot but we all went sad. Can anyone say DUH!! I am just very upset that everyone kept hopping off and basically just fed us to the Cogs. I thought that we all had each others "backs" and were here to help. Didn't seem that way to me today.

[Marvin the Monkey]

Indeed. Chocolatte (my wife) and I (Marvin) joined this Guild because according to a trusted source, the elevator jumping didn't happen. Boy have I been surprised lately. I was seriously disappointed today when the elevator left with only 3 toons on it. I thought the rule was once you are on you stay on?!?!?! Some people need to realize a few things:

1. Just because someone is a level 1 sellbot, does not mean that they are low in laff points. They may have started doing sellbot runs a little later than others. Dont judge a book by its cover.

2. We are all here to have each others backs and not to just show up and beg for jellybeans, then piggyback on the level 50 sellbot suiters. Everyone needs help and we have all started from the bottom of the barrel.

As of now I am debating on whether this guild is worth what people say it is. Next time I go on a run, I will be keeping names of those who do elevator jump, and will be reported publicly.

Please don't judge from a Sunday/Summer run. I am a firm CCG believer but lately it has been very frustrating. There are people joining the runs who bike horn on lured 11/12s and rediculous and poor team play. I check names and they are not CCG members, nor have I seen them on a regular basis.
I tend to play right now in the early morning runs or the later runs. I also try to avoid non-CCGers by hanging back a bit until the more eager toons load. I hope you have better luck... I have gone sad in 2 VPS in a row and must say it is not the usual. Good luck with the future runs.

+ Together in Cog Round

This was a very interesting run. The elevator left at 7:02PM EST with 7 toons on board. We had some shuffling and some big suits blocking the elevator but I was confident that the CCG, with its pack the elevator philosophy, would make sure we were loaded, especially being so early in the VP run. One (the Mr. Hollywood) disappeared in the elevator right after the VP decides the split. We see another disappeared on the way down the ramp on the side. Happily I got split with my wife of the same side, just the 2 of us. We hear the familiar sound of sadness on the other side and we knew we were alone. Skippy and Yippie fight for the next half hour using the CCG's tried and true methods of LLKR, with one modification; we only kill the strongest cogs and left the small cogs to stay lured. Being only able to carry 50 gags a piece, our gags spent, all we had left is sound. I told my wife behind me, "See you in the playground Yippie" and we both choose sound. The small cogs that have been keeping the floodgate of cogs at bay disintegrate with a pair of bugles leaving a level 9 Name Dropper left. The door opens and out comes one level 2 Cold Caller. My wife says back to me, "Yay, we actually made it!" Another sound clears the last two cogs and we begin to dance. At this point, we both pull our tails between our legs, with no gags left, say "Sorry Lil' Old Man," and run back to the Garden.
