CCG: Thursday Run Reports

[Jefe]

Thanks to everyone that posted their views of that "Doomed" run.

Okay, here is where I vent a bit about all going for the same cog. If this is done, it makes it much easier to lure, since we only get three goggles, but can get 7 $10 bills. If people keep taking out more than one cog, then the single lures can't be used, and blue magnets have to be used, since goggles quickly run out. The idea of only taking out one cog at a time isn't just to keep toons safe, it's so that higher level multi-lures can be saved for the times when they are really needed like when the single level level lure has missed on a 12 and another 12 is coming out.

That is indeed the reason for that strategy. Unfortunately Whiskers does not have the correct Speed Chat phrases to suggest that, and we had some funky gag selections in the Cog round (trap working maybe?), so I was just trying to make sure every cog we went for was killed, so I wasn't following LLKR either. I was very surprised to see the presentation so early, and of course thats when we finally got into the LLKR strategy so it was wasted. And I should have gone with my gut instinct and thrown out my SOS Gag up Lure at the end of the cog round, even though we might have left a cog alive at some point.

I think our side was doomed from the start, though, since the one toon seemed determined to use sound at every opportunity.

Don't beat yourself up over that one. Your cream pie was the only gag that hit, making yourself a target. Sadly they still managed to hit me. I have doubts that a second fog would have made Sound hit.

But alas the sound missed and the throw missed and all four were left standing. Mister Whiskers went sad, then a toon promptly alted out leaving the two of us left. I was determined to try to stick it out, but then big magnet lure missed and Crazy Soupy Gigglechomp went sad. Skinny(down to 17 laff) then (decided what can I lose, everything is going to be gone soon) threw wedding cake and it missed. Skinny then facing 4 angry cogs with only 17 laff left went ahead and alted out winding up sad in sellbot headquarters, then having to slowly walk out to get back to the playground. So yes Skinny Fangs alted out, but there was no way with 17 laff and 4 angry cogs that he was going to survive, so he just shortened the process a bit.



On the side that went sad, you had at least three experienced players. It was the circumstances and that one act of inexperience(aoogah) that made the whole thing go south. There just really was not anything else that could be done.
Crazy Soupy Gigglechomp, don't beat yourself up about it. What other choices could you have made to bring about a different outcome? None. Sound and throw both missed, both your other suggestions would have missed as well. And as you noted lure missed on the next turn. What is left? Squirt, drop. The way things were missing, they probably would have missed as well.

Hopefully the toon with the aoogah learned something and won't repeat that again. The other three of us maybe learned to be more selective of elevators when driving the toons we were driving in this run. Skinny Fangs has a long way to go in maxing drop, trap and lure. Sound is nearly maxed. Perhaps I will retire Skinny Fangs(it is my son's toon and my son no longer plays.)

The trouble really began on my side during the cog round. A certain toon (same one I'm sure) kept chosing sound almost EVERY time, lured cogs and all (thus my statement regarding hoping "some toons" learned from the run). I believe your side went fine during the cog round.

I knew during the skele cog round something must have gone dreadfully wrong when there was complete silence. I wasn't sure exactly if everyone went sad or what had happened. I know Mister Whiskers went back to the pg sad. Sounds like you tried your best, the cogs just didn't want to die. So sorry you had to leave and then ended up sad anyway!

I really wanted to get in a revenge run, but since I was up for promo in CFO I ran there, hoping to get a revenge afterwards. I still haven't gotten the satisfaction of a revenge run though because I didn't know where the toons were that were with me (other than Mister Whiskers). If you want to do a revenge with me, just PM and we can get some toons together.

As far as being selective in chosing which elevator to get on, all we can do is pack it, play our best and hope to dance at the end.

I just had to do this, hehe. This evening I took my youngest grandson, a first grader, for a short run in the factory. This was his second time and he played it big. He has maxxed water pistol and cream pie slice, but not very many of them. We are true friends but that doesn't help much since he can't type and really can't read well enough for it to be helpful. So, he called me and we used our speakerphones. Great job team!

That is SO sweet! I love it how you put *together in all battles. Way to go Big B.D. Thunderscooter!

Good Run. Someone was getting a wee bit too close to the big guy there at the end, but I think he was rolling forward when he got stunned and that was catching the front stunners (at least that's how it looked from the back)

Yes, that was me, i felt bad that it kept happening. But i would try to back up when he started rolling forward, and someone would stun him and i got ran over.

I also would like to add that i did get sort of chewed out for saying something in sf chat. I did this because my friend was on our side and on the first set of cogs he pulled out bugle. Knowing that it's the CCG, you're not supposed to sound all the cogs. I quickly said, "no, need to lure" because there wouldn't have been enough time to use the speedchat to say that all before the time ran out. I don't normally chat in a CCG run, but in this case, it was kind of necessary or else he would've bugled on lured cogs.

LOL - bunch of fun in todays VP! Good to see you Bucktooth!

Sorry for lack of suits - my puter is deciding to take screenies and put them where i can't find them! Yikes! Good teamwork all the way around! We had excellent stunning in the back from Bucktooth and Familiar - the third toon back there that was long distance stunning could have come up front to help us drive. Our lil cold caller got hit by the first couple jumps so I ran to pie her and to let her know to "jump" - she got the hang of it real quick! Woohoo!

Good fight. Make sure that everyone on your side can sound and that you can kill the cogs before you insist on sound. I heard some "You should pick a different gag" and "No." coming from the other side during the cog round.

Scooter disco'd at the start of the skelecogs - rats would have been his first win too.
