Cog round went off without a hitch, same can not be said for Skele round. On my side one of the lower laff toons called for us to use sound. As luck would have it the sound missed sending the toon who had called for sound back to the PG. Another toon on our side decided they had no faith in us and announced they needed more laff points, threw a hole and bailed. This is NOT the CCG way. We do NOT bail on a scheduled run. This left me with one other brave toon and we managed beautifully. Off to pie round. VP VERY jumpy tonight, thanks for keeping me alive when I got low on laff. Great back pieing from General Pie Rack (sorry I missed your suit level). You guys all rocked!!!

One word of advice - work on that jumping! The timing in the CJ is a bit different than the VP - I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.

Queen Cranky threw a TOW toon-up, but was the first to go sad. I threw a TOW toon-up and went sad as well. Not sure if anyone made it, red goons were swarming, not sure what went wrong.

I've seen toons disappear or freeze up, but I don't think there is a way to throw a hole and bail in the middle of a fight in the VP. If that little toon went sad and the other one threw a hole and left right away or at the end of that attack round, they didn't bail. They got hit by the sad bug. I know that didn't make your life any easier for the rest of the round, but I'd caution assuming it was an intentional abandonment.

A very careful cog round using the LLKR technique in honour of our first time uber Neta although I suspect from her gameplay that this may have been at least her second toon - she certainly knew what she was doing anyway!

The skele round flew by with a barrage of sound and the VP was just as efficiently despatched on his way with some awesome teamwork.

Congratulations Queen Lollipop on your suit promo (its so good to get rid of that first suit isn't it!) and way to go Neta- a very easy first win for you - well played!

+ Together in Cog Round
* Together in Skele Round

Landing back in the playground after the 6pm VP run we soon caught up with Lady Fireball Pinkerphooey who was organising a revenge run for Beezwhammer. Pood and I love revenge runs so we were very happy to help out here. I asked Nameless Kitten if she won, which she had, but she kindly logged out to go fetch Pinky and join in the fun.

So 6 of us gathered in the pit but when we entered the elevator we had also picked up a random Cold Caller.

The cogs and skeles were a breeze for Pood as both times we were sided with equally experienced players, but during the cog round we were listening to the comments coming from the other side and suspected that there may be a problem with our random's gameplay. We were not sure at this point whether the problem was inexperience or actual griefing!

During the skele round it was confirmed that the other side was once again suffering due to some more bad/inappropriate gag choices - it was evident that our random was not listening to any advice and it wasn't long before we heard Duke's sad song!

Pood had the rear track all to herself for the majority of the pie fight which she enjoyed tremendously and we evidently had a front stunner (s?) too as the trip down the slopes was true and steady. We knew Lady Fireball had Beezwhammer tucked safely under her little ducky wing as we could hear and see the constant advice she was giving him about when to jump and when to drive! He couldn't have had anyone better fighting in his corner and it was a pleasure to see him dancing! Well done Beezwhammer! Good run!

I reported this on the CCG web site as "danced for TOW 20 LP", but I think it was actually a gag up - sound. I was unable to edit. Run went without any problems except my craning was clearly off. I must have whiffed 4-5 goons from letting go too late. Corrected it by the next run. Thanks to the other craners for making up for my lack of skill on this run.

Sorry that the information is a bit patchy, but this being only my 2nd CJ run, I did not get as many screen shots as I would have liked. I was aiming at empty seats and seats with cogs in the cannon round, but at least 2 (maybe 3) times I unseated a toon already sat. This occurred due to those tunes being sat after I missed my 1st shot and I didn't realize another toon had been sat while I reaimed. My understanding is that this is a bad thing, but I am unclear why. Maybe somebody can educate me. I think we sat a total of 9 jurors. There were a lot of low suits, but everybody seemed to basically know what to do. I attempted stunning for the 1st time. I was able to always keep 2 stunned and usually keep 3. There must have been other inexperienced toons like me stunning since there was only 1 stun bonus. I was starting to get low on LP and noted 5 or 6 other toons gathering by the evidence. I used a 20 LP unite. I hope it helped somebody, but I really didn't take the time to check everyones levels. We all danced and LCF who I talked into coming along got her 1st win. Woo Hoo.


EDIT - After posting this, I noted a complete explanation by Craig in the Thursday Victory Forum.

Originally Posted by cputnal

The general wisdom is that at about 21 seconds, if you seat a toon in a chair at or below that time, a cog won't have time to take it back over. So you can consider that chair "safe." If someone else then hits that chair again, their toon will replace yours.

Evidence weight is gained in rounds where you have a significant # of Big Wigs on the run. On those runs, depending on how many toons you seat in the jury who are in that seat at the end of the cannon round, your evidence will have more weight than normal.

So if you seat two jurors, you will have a bonus weight of 1. Meaning your evidence is actually 2x heavier than normal (normal 1 + the 1 bonus weight) If you seat 3, you have bonus evidence weight of 2 for a total of 3, seat 4, bonus evidence of 3 +usual 1 = weight of 4.

Its not how long they sit in the chair that matters - its if they are in the chair when the cannon round finishes that matters.

Thus in a round where you expect to have bonus weight, the more you seat AND that are seated at the end the better. That's why I said if someone fills a seat below 21 seconds, DON't refill it. For the run to be most successful, at least a couple of toons need bonus weight.

I hope that repeating this isn't spam, but it helped me to understand what was going on.

That was me on Twokool Kitty. That was a fun run. It takes me about 4 runs each suit because of usually a missed lure, but sometimes everything missing-lol. Everyone did great. I enjoyed it.

This was the last run to go waited a little to get more toons. this run a bit acward during cog round not the best TW on my Side people choosing wrong gas or not highenough gags had to TU quite bit. Twords the end everyone was working together better at lest hehe. The Serving Round was ok though ive been seeing a bit of this lately everyone serves 1 tabel together on each side and some never feed cogs that havnt been feed so this leads to loads of extra cogs. just a side note 1 toon can handel 2-3 cogs at once withough them getting the lightning bolt depending on the distance so its best if everyone works thair on table and when thairs is done they move on to an empty table or help another table. (leaves less cogs in the end from my exp.) The Squirt Round was verry good Awsome TW Most The Toons Where On The Tables sadly i dont see that enough lol. all in all was a good run.

This was the last run to go waited a little to get more toons. this run a bit acward during cog round not the best TW on my Side people choosing wrong gas or not highenough gags had to TU quite bit. Twords the end everyone was working together better at lest hehe.

Thanks for posting this run, I'm glad you mentioned the cog round.
It has been my experience with the last three toons I have run in Boss that we customarily use only one foghorn and tu as needed. I assume you are referring to Beltane pulling back fog when two others would choose fog after on a row of 9s. One fog is a strategy we developed while exploring Boss on test, and it works quite well. Had we used only one fog at a time in the kitchen round, the gag up unite would not have been needed before the dining room.

I believe my toon was the lowest laff toon present in this run at 101 laff. We are all over 100 laff, we can take multiple hits from the line of cogs (none of which do a group attack) and then sound again with ahoogahs while another toon uses toon-up.

This proven strategy allows you to save the rest of your gag bag for the numerous cogs in the dining room.

All in all, it was a good run and everyone danced. It certainly would have been easier for me if one of the other remaining toons in the courtyard had boarded in Beltane's place so I wouldn't be in the next CEO elevator on Familiar at the same time. It was fun to be a spunky flunky again!
