A good mixed suit load and one tough battle; the boss did not want to catch his train! However every one on this load gave their all throughout. There were a few panicky moments with goon swarms so special thanks must go for awesome stomping. There was no crane "expert" here as far as I could see but the toons kept at it and eventually wore him down. As an onlooker i could easily see the benefits of doing a CFO training. There were times when the safes piled up in one zone - tip for another time, try and ensure two in each zone at all times and pass them on if you get more. Beyond that you should all be very proud of yourselves for this victory - shame it was only beans (although PDC was delighted that now he can throw some out to others at a beanfest having received for so long)

Excellent teamwork in this VP! I have to give a couple of shout outs to the toons who bravely loaded with not 1, not 2, but 3 ubers! Miss Bonnie, our cute lil CC did a fantastic job being side with Captain and I in both rounds - she was unsure about following us as she was using LLKR (Woohoo!) and Captain and I were going for the larger cog coming out. The reason we did this was because Crumblesnooker had lured 2 Level 1's and a Level 4 CC's that we knew would not do alot of damage to us if they came unlured. You rocked in there Miss Bonnie!

For the skeles, TT had its fun by siding the four lowest laffs on one side, so we heard the calls of "Hurry!" and "Let's use sound" from Scottsman and Crumblesnooker on the other side. Pulling out no stops, Captain and I threw out geysers and wedding cakes hoping to dispatch our side in "uber run" fashion. Ironwolf lured - unfortunately it missed twice but no worries! we still had the wedding cakes and geysers to use. A sweep attack sent Captain back to the playground - Owoooo! - and I used a Madame Chuckle to tune Miss Bonnie and Ironwolf. We had one more sweep attack before Crumblesnooker came to join us - and the remaining cogs were swept away with a blast of my geyser.

Pie round found a jumpy VP - must have been mad cuz he didn't send the other bunny back to the playground LOL - but we had some excellent stunning by Scottsman and Crumblesnooker. Princess Fluffy came down to toss a few pies at Skipper to keep her at a smiling 19 laff - and once we got him moving, he went flying over the edge.

You guys did great in there!

Congrats on the two promos! Fun run...challenging at times. I did not hear a sad sound, but Prof. Kippy was not present after cog round. Pie round was rather long, but we all got good practice trying to pie the hole!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on this run. Deputy Snuffy Weaselnugget is my son's toon who he's not played on for months because he got so fed up of people stinking him whenever he tried to do a VP run. I told him about the ccg and he asked if he could try it, he was amazed when he saw the higher suits in the elevator with him not shuffling off and stinking him. The pie round did go quite slowly but my son was delighted when he saw one of his own pies fly in to the under carriage, making the VP dizzy! Thanks to everyone for making his day and he can't wait for his next run.

* Together in Skele Round

It was time for the noon EDST CCG VP run. Alvin and I decided to at least go look to see if any friends were in the pit needing help. There we found King Jeepertoon, Mufasa, Bacon Bits, Weird Hector Octoroni, Kit T Kat, Kitten Reef Hinge, and a new uber, Kit E. Treat. There were a lot of little toons around so I took the opportunity to dump the 200 beans stinky Mata gave me at my last CFO. When the time came we went inside, and I kept my eye on Kitten even though I thought there were others already looking out for her. Alvin took a position to the right of the doors and we watched for light or short loads. We spotted a new uber boarding and pushed forward to help. We loaded four big suits and four little, but then an HW9 and an HW27 jumped. Paula Playsalot packed on to replace the HW9, and CC1 Ned packed on to fill the load again. But the uber apparently got cold feet and stepped off leaving us with only 7. Too bad guys, you missed a great run! We had three big suits and four little suits with one being a first timer. But what a load we were! We had three pigs! Someone threw a good luck as the doors began to close.

For the cogs, the three pigs were sided together with Ned, our first timer. Ned, you caught on quickly and fought well overall, but let me suggest you go read the CCG guidelines for VP cog battles. But then even the experienced make mistakes and we were left with Snortling kicking himself around for killing off the last cog leaving Ned and Alvin a bit low on laff. You are forgiven Snortling! Our side finished first but the short side had initiated their final attack just before we arrived to help. They seemed to also have killed off the last cog early leaving Candice way short on laff. During intermission I was busy taking stats and then noticed that Alvin had not done his swan dive. He was busy checking out our variety pack of three ladies! Well, after all, he is a pig (way to go Alvin)!

For the skelecogs, Ned and Snortling moved over to Paula’s side and we picked up Owoooo and Candice. We rushed through to help the short side, but we made sure everyone was full health this time! We finished first and Alvin made it to the other side in time to help out and again we saw everyone was keeping health up at the end.

Well, turns out I had my audio recorder on finally for this run, but had failed to turn up my speakers enough to record the battle sounds (I listen through headphones) so I am unable to provide a lot of battle detail. I know that I witnessed a rare event Thursday and it might have been on this run. We had three cogs lured and one unlured. Someone selected wedding cake. No one lured the new cog and the wedding cake missed! So, remember folks, always lure for a wedding cake!

For the pie fight we had Owoooo close front stunning and Paula rear stunning. They were great! Alvin threw in a few long range shots but we are not sure if he caused the stun. Mostly Alvin was a driver. We kept Ned on our radar but he was never in any real danger. Everyone danced, we had a great team!

The entire battle lasted 21 ½ minutes, with about 4 ½ spent cogging, a bit over 5 spent skelecogging, and the pie fight lasted only about 5 minutes. Too bad jumpers, you missed a great run!

A Failed Revenge run

7/8 Danced for Julius Wheezer

Following our really excellent noon ESDT run with first timer Ned, Alvin and I returned to the playground to check on Kitten Reef Hinge. She had been on a run following ours and we wanted to offer a revenge run if she needed it. While we waited, the new uber we had seen earlier, Kit E. Treat, showed up sad. I asked if he wanted to run again and got a yes and a thank you. When Kitten Reef Hinge appeared it was obvious she had won so we turned our attention to a revenge run for Kit. I was not sure what had happened in Kit’s run or was happening there in the playground but I did observe some stinking going on as I attempted to round up a crew. It was slow going and only after some of our more famous Hollywoods took an interest did a team assemble. By that time we had attracted quite a crowd of smaller toons so one of the monkeys befriended Kit so we could go to the back-up district for the revenge run. No one could have asked for a better revenge team! We had seven Hollywoods; five of them maxed, for our single little CC1. I am not sure who actually organized it but thank you all! Brrlgrrl, I know you were involved as was Wrangler and certainly gggbutter.

For the cogs Alvin was sided with Lollipop, Dottie, and Raven. Alvin was in heaven with three ladies even though one of them tends to be a bit…well…caustic shall we say? We decimated the cogs and from the sounds of it, so did the other team! As I mentioned in my earlier report, I had failed to turn on my speakers so I have no record of the sounds of battle. Thus I have few details since I tend not to talk to myself much during battle and I certainly do not remember much as I rely on my audio recording for details.

For the skelecogs, Alvin traded spots with Beltane so he only had one lady distracting him, Little Maxie. But he was on a pout since he missed being sided with one of his favorite girl cats, Beltane. We lured our solo 12 onto TNT and then Alvin threw his presentation lure at the first full set. From there it was duck soup. We all played lure left kill left and there were no misses best I can remember.

With this crew I really expected a super short pie round but that was not to be. The old bag of bolts was really jumpy and put up one heck of a fight! I couldn’t find Kit at first and finally spotted him down behind the VP desparately low on laff. I charged down to help King Jeepertoon (I think) pie him, and just as we got a couple of pie hits in, the VP did a phantom jump and that was that, Kit was gone. We were already five minutes into the battle when we lost him. We fought on for another full minute before we drove the rust bucket over the edge. I am terribly sorry to have lost you after all that Kit, and had I thought, I had a +10 unite I could have used that might have done the trick, but, I am not used to having or using such things since I usually only get beans from CFO. I truly hope your next battle is better for you. And I want to thank everyone for their efforts. Only truly bad luck made this an unsuccessful revenge run.

The overall battle lasted 24 minutes. The cog battle lasted 5 minutes. The skelecog battle lasted 6 minutes. The pie fight lasted 6 minutes.

Excellent teamwork with awesome toons!! We Sat 10 jurors, had 30 POE and had 6 stun bonuses! WOOT!

The teamwork on this run at stunning was perfect! Always had 3 toons stunning with one waiting to step in the instant someone ran for evidence. Well done.

It really was a pleasant run, wasn't it? Thank you for reporting it Princess Lily Twinkletoes. I logged on just now with my notes and, voila, it was already done....maybe it was so easy because we had 3 "Princesses" -and we know how Disney feels about Princesses....

Excellent run with with sound used used almost exclusively on my side both rounds. I did not even see one lure. Sorry to loose Catman in pie round when two surprise jumps in a row sent him back to pg. Otherwise fun run.

Playing Catman has been fun. This was a fantastic group to go with, and I thought I had it in the bag. But experiencing just enough lag and . . . . . welcome to toontown. You all were wonderful, and hope to see you again.

While everything in the cog fighting rounds and even the table serving round went well (as far as no one was jeapordized and we did explode all the cogs in the table serving round), there were some big issues in this CEO. From the time we loaded the elevator until the time we fired the CEO, 2 toons SF chatted the entire time even after I asked them to use the speedchat more than once. It was constant and it was aggravating. I don't see how you can be giving a boss battle all of your attention if you are so busy carrying on a conversation. Boss is tricky for a lot of people and I, personally, would appreciate others having their head in the game. The serving round, all cogs were exploded but I don't believe you can talk nonstop through that and do the best you can while you type incessently. I believe the rest of us carried those two chatters, to a degree anyway. The chatting also almost made me miss someone calling for help with serving a table because the request was amid so much babble that I was trying to tune out.
Seltzer round showed one of the SF's very selfish side. He was hoarding snacks and when asked to save the snacks for sadder toons, he replied, no. I looked at both LP's because I have unites to share when needed and the toon asking was in its 30s whilst the SF was in its 80s. Good teamwork! I doubt it. Unites for TU were shared by at least 3 different toons, seems we were all monitoring each others laff. One unite tossed by Peppy Whiskertwist I believe, probably saved my toons life. I doubt I would have thrown one to save myself. After I had tossed out a couple of TU unites, the same SF chatter whispered to me to help him, he needed more LP's. I checked and he was still pushing 90 LP's, I declined. The unites I shared were used for toons and myself when we were in our 20s. One toon was down to 3!!!! We all survived despite a couple of bad apples. Great teamwork from everyone else there, you all are awesome! I was one happy pig to leave that CEO behind.

This was an awesome CJ! I have played with most of these toons before and already knew what a fun and skilled group they were. Mr. Ed, lol, what is it about horse toons? They are always so funny! What a crack up! I had a blast and it seemed our fabulous stunners kept the lawyer cogs stunned almost non-stop. You guys are great! Let's play again anytime!

Alas, Peppy Whiskertwist ended up back in the playground staring down at her toes. I kept getting hit for -15 just at random. Never even saw it coming. I don't know if it was a bug or just lag. It was very frustrating after spending over an hour in there and the CEO blinking red, but it wasn 't meant to be....

Excellent teamwork in this VP! I have to give a couple of shout outs to the toons who bravely loaded with not 1, not 2, but 3 ubers!

Brave? -- I will board with 7 ubers! You guys rock and are the best players because frankly if you're not, you're sad, period. I would rather play with an uber than a 60 laff regular toon -- although I enjoy that too because it is a challenge in its own right. Let's play again.

A lot of toons almost went sad. I kept on checking Toppengadget's laff & when the VP jumped, he didn't. When the VP jumps, make sure you do too. xD
