A Friendly Reminder - Please Wait Til Run Time

[Melody]

There have been a few reports recently about toons arriving at runs and discovering no one about (other than the goofs who are still in the wrong districts *innocent look*), so this is a friendly reminder from your favorite neighborhood Mini-Mod

1) Do you seem to be the first one who's clock says it's time to go? Check your time at www.time.gov.

2) Make sure if you are one of those wacky areas that don't switch to Daylight Savings Time that you are reading the schedule correctly - bet all of them are written with DST in mind - so you might just be an hour off.

3) If your clock is right and your not reading the schedule incorrectly (oh and your in the right district, D'oh), PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be kind to your fellow toons and don't enter the lobby UNTIL run time. This gives those of us running a minute behind, those who haven't checked their clock time and those who are gathering in the wrong district a few moments to catch up with you.

4) Remember, those toons jumping around 5 - 10 minutes before run time, crying out "Let's go fight *boss name here*" are more than likely people who have seen a crowd and have no clue who we are. This is especially important at the VP, where going with those who don't know not to shuffle, stink, or how to work as a team, can cause great sadness.

This has been a Friendly Reminder from your neighborhood Mini-Mod. Carry on. Remember don't be a cog, pie a cog!

Whats up with everybody waiting for the exact time?

Because what happens if everyone goes in early and 3 elevators go off, and then 6 or 7 CC's, Flunkies, whatever show up at the posted run time, or a minute early and there is no one there? Maybe that 3rd elevator had 6 HW50's on it? The loads may have been distributed better.

Read Mels reasons above... We wait until run time because that is the posted time. That is the only way that we can get everyone a fair chance at going to see the boss.

Back in the day (walking to/from school uphill, BOTH WAYS, in the snow) we used to have 100+ toons at the VP, and we would load early and we wouldn't finish loading until 10-15 AFTER the hour. Now we send off fewer ele's and they sometimes load quickly, so you will see everyone who cares about the CCG guidelines wait until posted run time.

Have Fun!!!
