Sorry that happened to you!! The VP battle with randoms can be very tough, but I am sure your next try will be a successfull one!
I have done many, many VP battles where I was sided with 50 Laffers (or lower), where the lower Laffers didnīt have gag power even if put together to take out any of the high level cogs unless I joined them with my maxxed gags.
What I would do would be to lure first, and ask the others to pass. If lure hits, then we take out the cogs one by one, using the LLKR-strategy (Lure Left Kill Right) - lure all cogs - then take out the rightmost cog - then lure the cog that comes out to the left - kill the rightmost cog. And as I read you DID lure, but the others sounded away your lure - yes, very often sound is suggested by others not knowing the math to take out the high level cogs only by sounding (i.e a bunch of maxxed fogs), and not realizing that underkilling in sound probably will send at least some teammates straight back to playground at once. If I hear "Letīs use sound" or see a weak sound gag at this point I would try to advice against it at once "No" - "Donīt use sound on lured cogs" - "I think you should choose another gag", hopefully they will listen.
Sorry to hear you were all alone when using your Presentation! This has happened to me also a few times, that I was the very last one standing on both sides (but then I did know I was alone). The first time was a very long time ago and I used my brand new Presentation for the very first time - it missed and sent me back to PG pretty quickly. If your Presentation hit and you did have a bunch of SOS-card and maybe also a few gag-up unites/TU-units, I would say you would have a good chance of making it through the Skele Round, and maybe also have a try at soloing the VP!
GOOD LUCK with your future VP battles!!
