Sorry Aunt Trixie! I was a part of some of that stinky gag selection last night Embarassed as some RL issues came up as soon as we got in there, and I wasn't all there. Tough to play right when you aren't seeing the levels as they come down... But of course!
I usually try to skip the runs if I have any idea that distractions are looming but sometimes RL demands attention.
I just learned that two Toontanics thing last night as well. Rolling Eyes
Certainly there were more efficient ways to have done our cogs, I even made myself groan a few times... I remember putting that cream pie on top of a cream pie only to come back and find out he was a 12 not a 10 (I think I got punished for that one) and another time I selected foghorn-pause for RL-I hear the wedding cake audio in the living room... Normally I am very conscious of Trap doors and backing them up but I was doing good to just get a gag in at times and figured I would make up for my poor gagging during the 3rd round. It took us much longer than necessary, but we all danced...almost EDIT; I guess we lost somebody.
Feeding the cogs- I personally think 2 toons to a table is the most efficient....like ALL other battles, unless everyone has a predetermined role in the battle then it is up to the toons to decide what their roles are and do them. SOMETIMES everyone just seems to "Know" what their role is and sometimes it is a little chaotic.
The Far tables, in my experience, are too far away to do by yourself, the timing is off when you get back to the table with another drink. So you are standing there waiting for one of the cogs to finish, whereas 2 toons keep them happy and full without having to wait. I saw a couple of those far tables with MAD cogs last night and it's a waste of time if you have to start over. Another problem with 1 toon per table is getting all the cogs Started drinking/feeding in time to give them enough time to finish 3. I haven't stopped to study this far table principle as every time I have tried to do a table by myself another toon comes to help or I see another cog with a red stomach and give him priority. The bottom line on feeding cogs is... I don't care how many we leave, we are going to defeat them AND the CEO so "Let's get this Party started!"

Running out of gags from not getting the cogs fed... The debate came up when Boss opened and it goes on... I have been in a few battles with the extra table and tables full of CheeseHeads many times less than 8 including a 5 toon with Big Cheeses and we left Plenty...Haven't come close to being out of gags yet. I get in FAR more dire positions in buildings alone than I have in any CEO cog round so far. So gag selections that are inefficient don't bother me. I've got a stack of Prof Pete's and a handfull of UNITES (Just like every other toon in there). I don't see us EVER running out of gags.
Sure it takes longer when you don't get rid of all the cogs but I don't think anyone used a unite or an sos last night EDIT; I guess Loopy did use a unite...(I did have a freeze up for a minute during the seltzer round and missed a little) and I never even had to go get snacks. Overall a pretty easy win...but then again...I was really only there for the last part bteasing29 I didn't have to watch my stinkyness like you did lol sorry again to the Toons I was sided with.
