I was working on getting Olive her sell suit (her gags are really coming along lipgloss, cream pie, and firehose). I go into the factory with a 100+ black cat (Super Pritty Kitty), an invisible toon (Cool Purplesomething), and a smaller toon around 45lp. The first five sets of cogs go really well, everyone working together, and them even pulling back a little on the 2nd and 3rd set so I could get the last cog with my pie or seltzer.

We get through the pipe room, go down to the side entrance, and through the door (which of course engages the cogs). The timer is running down and SPK is not even through the door. She is using the box to get the tu above the door. Why? I really don't know, It wasn't like she was hit in any of the previous battles. We go ahead and pick since the timer is almost to zero, the other two sound and I use a pie. If we hadn't, there is a good possibility I would have gone sad. We destroy the cogs as she finally gets through the door. She does the "Huh?" speedchat, and I reply "I couldn't wait any longer". I guess it just set her off.

We head down to the lava room, and the little guy and I try to go across and wind up shoving each other off the belt. I make another attempt and get shoved off again and give up and head toward the oil room. I get up there and the two big toons come out and say "I couldn't wait any longer". No problem we all four head to the warehouse. We all go in like normal, the little guy and I are slightly ahead. The little guy and I had engaged when I hear, "Ha ha!", "Hee hee!", "I couldn't wait any longer". They had glitched after we little toons were caught in the battle. Fortunately/unfortunately the invasion ended then and the two of us got throught the battle (he needed a little coaching, no, go for the weakest cog first, you should choose another gag, {don't use drop!}). And the two bigger toons are continuing the taunts, "Good grief", "I don't believe this!", "Ha ha!"...you get the idea, trying to get us killed.

We finally get through the door, and hear "SPK is battling the foreman!" We get to the top of the silo and see the other two dancing. They had killed off the cogs and foreman so we wouldn't get points or parts. That is just sooo WRONG! What is wrong with picking gags and getting rid of a set of cogs to protect yourself when none of the others is willing (or maybe able) to lure (that was my fault, I didn't check the bigger toons, I should have)? I just don't get that type of behavior. Way to be an example, as far as I'm concerned, Super Pritty Kitty, is one very ugly player when she thinks she can get away with it. And, shame on you Cool Purplewhatever for going along with her. The only way to stop bad behavior is to not play along with the person/toon behaving badly.

OWOOO! That stinks! Hmmm.... That cat..........
I've never been in that situation where someone beat me to the Foreman, but it doesn't look fair!

Just a story: Once, I was in a group in the Buillion Mint and we were all doing good except for this one bear who was REALLY annoying. At one point after being so annoying, he couldn't get up out of that one room. (The room where it's kind of like an obstacle course where you have to do a bunch of jumping around.) We waited for him for a while (10 minutes or so), he just said "Sorry!" and "No problem." So, we go on, and one toon engages the last group of cogs. After a while when we were being stuck there we couldn't wait any longer because we waited forever with using like two lures to be able to wait for the bear. Finally we just thought that we should just finish. We we got rid of the last cog, the bear came running up and saying things like, "You stink!" "That wasn't nice!" I felt bad for the bear, but it was funny seeing him go wacko. He deserved it anyway for the way he played.

That was awful bad sportsmanship on their part.

I don't know why some toons get so whacked out sometimes. Really, this is only a game
Interesting that her partner in crime was also a culprit, but managed to also be a meanie to you.
Hope all your next factories go much better!

But, on the flip side of that coin, there are some really nice toons out there too!
I had my uber and a friend that was 111 laff. He stated in the loading elevator that he needed more merits and this 109 bear (Drippy) hops on. The bear was really nice to my uber and then waited at the silos patiently for an invasion (which was a bit since we were in Nutty Summit). As we were dancing, turns out the bear only needed about 240 merits! How nice to go through the whole factory AND wait with us.

At least Miss S has her merits for the uber run tonight!

I have to agree with you. I really try to be a help when running my "big" toon. If I know someone is working gags I'll try to pull back a little and let them get the last cog with whatever they are working etc. Also, I have met some absolutely wonderful "big toons" out there when driving Olive. I've decided it really is just luck of the draw. Oh well, only 5 trips left to go before she has her suit, but she has quite a bit to go yet before she is ready to battle the VP.
