| You did the right thing, GuamFam. They jumped on your vator at the last second--it's not their place to call any shots, including the final shot. You joined in the final battle to keep the little toon alive--you could have left them to die in there alone, and you didn't--you did what you could. It wouldn't have crossed my mind to take out one of the cogs--in fact I would have been a little reluctant to do so because the more cogs you have standing in front of you, the longer it takes for the little toon (who doesn't need merits) to kill them.
I see the point about bringing the number of cogs down to a non-lethal number--that wouldn't have dawned on me until now that I've read about it (I guess that's because I don't play ubers). Don't feel bad, GuamFam. You did fine. I also look at it from the point of view of the low laffer--if I jump on a vator with randoms, especially at the last second, I'm going to do this factory/bldg your way--short/long/sound/lure/whatever. And it would be especially rude of me to go in there and tag the final battle when the other three have asked me to wait--even if I didn't understand why they wanted me to wait (I was greatly puzzled by that request the first time I heard it in a factory as a little toon). I understand that the little toon may well be a kid and I don't judge them as being "rude" when they probably just don't understand. You did what you could to keep them alive, while still not allowing one toon to "blow" a factory for three other toons. That was appropriate. (Yeah, I know, it's not hard to do another factory and the "blow" isn't as bad as it is when someone "blows" a Back 9 for you, but when you're on the zillion merits, and especially if you're not used to doing DA-D offices and Back 9s, the endless factory runs are excruciating!! I remember that well. It wasn't until I got mired in 14,400 jury notices time after time that I decided the factory wasn't half bad by comparison. Now that I'm about to get mired in stock options, I'm afraid I might even prefer the DA-D to endless Back 9s, and I really hate the DA-D!)  _________________ Fear--Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea.
