Dissapointing run - Page 3

If there is a special run for level 50 bigwigs, why would anyone attend who wasn't a level 50 bigwig?

Why do non-ubers always try to attend the Uber runs?

Why is it that when I held a soundless CFO marathon for 4 hours, there wasn't even one CFO where there was no sound used?

If you don't want to follow along with the special rules of a special run, why in the world wouldn't you just go play somewhere else?

1. No it wouldn't be impossible, if I plan it right, have the experience and enough SOS/Unites, why would it be impossible?
2. Let me make it clear that NOBODY boarded her friend. Her friend left her behind after boarding with the first group, I went with the second group (we used a boarding group) then the third group loaded.

I think unfortunately there are always going to be incidents of people showing up at runs that aren't aware of the rules (at best). I know it happens at Toons United, you see a shuffler, or someone griefing. They aren't a member, they just happened to TP to a friend, or stumbled across the group. It can be really frustrating, and even more difficult when its a run that requires more special guidelines in order to make the event what it is. Its hard for everyone, nobody wants to come out and tell this person that they can't come, and/or have hurt feelings, but sometimes with the more special runs, it has to happen, like runs like this or training runs.

I think its a good point to ask all to please remember the rules, and if you do have a friend TP to you, explain that you are doing a special run, and unfortunately are not free at the moment. How the person takes it, is on them. Some will handle it fine, some will be all offended and huff off, but it can't be helped. Its a little easier when the person that TPs to you is from here, as they will understand easily about being on such a run, and have no problem with wandering off. Others who don't know, it can be more difficult and they will take it personally.

Anyways, I'm sorry that this happened, it does sort of put a damper on the event for all involved, from the CL to the person who wittingly or unwittingly tried to come along.

Unfortunetly these runs do limit the number of toons that can come, but I agree that rules are rules.
I don't like coming to limited track runs because I like having all my gags! :P
So just don't go if you don't fit/don't like the requirements (:

I don't get what part of rules are rules is hard to understand?

If it is a BW50 run... that's it! no sensibility, no exceptions... nothing... it's just simple. There are other places and spaces for other suits and other rules, go for it.

I dont care how much experience you have, a bottom feeder cj is nearly impossible, if not impossible. You wont have any bonus weight, even if you stun all 8 and hit the scale for those 20 seconds, it would go right back up when you land on your face. Can I challenge the biggest mean girl to a bottom feeder solo?

Actually it can be done. For instance, a friend and I went into a 5 man CJ both of us on 2 toons a piece and a random tag along. We were both on our lower level suit toons. We of course got no bonus weight and being we were higher than Bottom Feeders we also had less evidence than a Bottom Feeder would have. Right after Cannon, I disco with both of my toons. And the random that tagged along with us ran right behind me. Leaving only my friend in the CJ. He then finished the CJ - With No BONUS. Proving it can be done if you have the Skills.

Thats amazing!! Did it take a long time? I have a lot of admiration for someone who can solo anything, especially CJ. I just plain stink at CJ myself, and I don't think I will EVER get the hang of it

OK, so stun with pre-written script that allows you to throw evidence constantly, then hit the scale after the cogs were stunned? What other tricks were used?
