why do people do this?

[winterwoods]

was just doing forman...two of the toons get into a fight, so one runs to the forman and kills him before the rest of us can get there

I wish there was a way to stop people from doing that.


Wasted time and gags.

[Captain Skippy Spacklemash]

Idk, that hasn't happened to me before

[Princess Candy Poodleflipper]

I hate that! One day my computer was really laggy and two toons went and stole the merits! I was so angry! I wish there was a thing that said, please wait for other members of group before doing the foreman. That would kinda be a problem if the person was frozen or something.

[Ethan Socrates]

Yep that stinks... I am pretty sure thats the reason mints and da go in straight lines instead of a haphazard map like the factory. No good advice but to go with friends and if not watch those randoms very close :-/

[winterwoods]

First time it happened to me heh.

I think TT should make some kind of coding that would prevent this, like

If "Toon A" out of "Toons ABCD" battles "Foreman", and "Toon B", "Toons C", and "Toon D" have moved in the past five minutes(so being AFK for a long time would not give you a reward), then teleport "Toon B", "Toon C" and "Toon D" to "Foreman", and prevent "Toon A" from using "Gag LVL 7" until "Toons BCD" join the battle.

(This would be repeated if "Toon B" out of "Toons ABCD" battles "Foreman")

No idea how this would turn out, but this is a very possible way to solve problems like this.

This has happened to me more time than I care to admit. So much for being a trusting soul. I check gag levels when I go in with toons I don't know...if they go off in a different direction...I just leave. There are several toons that just seem to enjoy doing this! It is just mean. While you can report them...there really is nothing anyone can do. Keep a list and make sure you don't go back on with them. Eventually, they should run out of toons to go with...however, that will probably take an eternity.

I think some bigger toons who would like to solo the factory, but fear they will get to the top short of laff to defeat the foreman if their gags miss...use other toons to get through most of the factory...then finish it off themselves...maybe they don't realize how mean this is...and maybe they are just kids...

When I maxed Sell and was running an enormous number of factories...I came across this alot! I would get so upset my child would tell me to chill...it's just a game mom! So then I decided that if by the time I got to the stompers things were awful...I leave. I am always polite and tell the others "let's go back to the playground"...often that is enough to get others to play nice...if not, I just go. They can do the same or go on.
I do NOT stink them...and I am not ugly...but I have the right to play nice or not play at all.

And they do not get the satisfaction of leaving me in the dust.

If people quit playing with these toons...guess what...they won't have any fun and maybe they will go play somewhere else!

That wouldn't work. And this is why.

Lets say that there are 4 toons that get on elevator. A 100+ laff, and the rest being below 40 with no sound or lure. The group finishes the first battle, and they head to (idk the name of it) the room where you can take the short way if you want. They kill the cogs and the three low laffers start to run. The 100+ laffer stands still and says "I'm stuck" "Don't wait for me". Them thinking they can do it themselves with no sound or lure run off and find cogs to defeat. The 100+ laffer then runs to the room with all the goons, and glitches past it headed for the silos. The 40 laffer toons are only on one side of the pipe room because well, they have no sound or lure, and they keep tuning eachother up and taking up ALOT of time. The 100+ laffer uses level 7 gags on the West and East silo. By the time hes ready to defeat the foreman, the 40 laffers are in the room after the lava room. He goes in to defeat the foreman. Now, seeing as those other toons are not AFK (since they are battling the cogs) the 100+ laffer is free to do what he wants. It also does not take level 7 gags to defeat the foreman. It would take two foghorns. Which are not level 7 gags.

Another person suggested that someone cannot enter foreman unless the whole team is there. Well, i have an uber friend who i used to take through factories alot so he could work on gags. He was at 18 laff, and would have me enter all battles first so i could lure incase lure missed. He would especially have me do this in the center silo seeing as one hit from foreman could probably kill him.

[bigdog461]

The real problem is the addition of level 7 gags. Before them, it would still take at least 2 rounds to kill the foreman and his buddies and then only if you have the 55 dmg foghorn. These days it is so easy to wedding cake them and steal it.

Of course some toons are just mean, that's why I only like to do the factory solo.

[Prof. Pickles McPretzel]

If that happens to me, I usually end up stealing it from them.
I don't do it on purpose, but I have to get in the battle, and I just throw a big gag. Hey, they learn their lesson, y'know?
Also, if people go the short way, and look like they're ditching, maybe do the Wall Glitch.
I know, this doesn't sound nice, but usually it makes the toon never do it again. I know, it's happened twice for me. I end up stuck in the same factory with them, and they don't even do the wall glitch.
Then, toons just started so much, I started to only solo. That's how Buck Toonth became a HW so fast.

[Blinky Purplemuffin]

This happened to me for the first time a while ago...very frustrating.

[Domino Loopenmarble]

Hi,

I have done this. Myself and a high laff friend have went in and went our own route to bypass and get my parts for my baby toons. WELL before I get on elevator I start saying.. I only have a few minutes.. I need to go.. I need more sell parts.. I repeat a few times if they dont get the hint well then I am just sorry. Sometimes toons just want to get there parts or a small amout of merits in a short amount of time. If the toons that board elevator while I have said this DONT understand then that is just to bad. I am not gonna sit and wait for other toons to get all their merits when all I need are parts.

YES we need to have some consideration. But other toons need to have consideration to especially when i have boarded elevator saying that i need parts and i only have a few minutes.

I have been on both sides, but I take into consideration when toons tell me what their plans are.
If you dont speak up you wont be heard!

I hate merit stealers :[

[megabrains]

A similar thing happened to me recently. A peach colored 109 laff point trapless cat named <snip> got into the elevator with us and contributed to battles with minimal gags forcing us to use our stronger gags and continually tune her up. But when we got to the silos, she circumvented the usual procedures and tried to enter the center silo through a side wall.

While two of us were battling the cogs by the east silo, she stayed by the center silo waiting for us to defeat the cogs at the east silo and jump on the button to unlock the door to the center silo. It appeared that her goal was for us to open the center silo so that she could fight the foreman without joining us in the battle to defeat the cogs of the east silo even though she had enough gags for both. We did not let her fulfill this goal.

Since we never unlocked the door to the center silo, she was unable to go ahead without us. Ultimately, we had to bail out losing all we gained by our efforts. There must be a way to stop toons from doing this.

thye just think tht they r awesome
but they rnt
