The glitch is a skip glitch that lets you skip areas in the DA. You walk up to one of the corners at the edge of the corridor, click on your friend's name, and click the gag panel arrow repeatedly while holding the up arrow. If this doesn't disconnect you, it will bring you out into Grey Space.

About the buildings, you can tell if it's going to be a very difficult one if there is one level 9 Cog and one level 11 Cog on the first floor. If there is only one level 9 Cog, then it's going to be somewhat easier. If there is only one level 8 Cog, then it will be a pretty simple five story.

Oh. In that case, Nobody, why were you in the DA?

I also recently figured out a glitch in the DDL playground. If you teleport to someone, and they enter the Gag Shop before you arrive, then you will be transported into Grey Space as well. This is great fun for climbing on the giant pillow. :P

You can actually do that with almost any door.

Nobody was in the DA because I was giving him a tour. And smart people don't actually try to do the DA at a low Laff.

Mine was one level 9, but mostly 11's after that, and a 12 boss.

Actually, I already had one of the ice cream cones.

I once successfully did two Front Threes at 76 Laff, with my friends who were 77 Laff (with almost all gags maxed, later switched to his 132 Laff Toon), 103 Laff, and 119 Laff. Was that too terribly bad?

EDIT, SINCE I POSTED AT THE SAME TIME AS BOTH OF YOU: Yup, that was one of the Omegas I was talking about. Although, do you have all 10 ice cream cones now or just 9?

No. You went with other high Toons, but its still not a good idea to go to places where you aren't meant to be. However, if you have high gags, things may be OK. Make sure you really work hard on your Sound gags too, it's vital for boss battles.

Yes, out of all my gags, Sound needs the most work. I still only have the Bugle. :(

EDIT: Actually, I guess Lure would need even more work (I only have the Little Magnet) but I only need four more points there. Although frankly, four points is a lot with accuracy like that. :P

If you're soundless, then you're pretty much doomed. Sound is the most frequently used gag in Cogbosses and without it people won't look upon you very well.

Um, I really don't think going soundless is a good idea. My 132 Laff friend that I mentioned earlier was Toonup-less. Trapless is pretty common, but seeing as you're dong that on Salty Rhinoboom already, I might suggest taking the second most common course of action: droplessness.

Or Lurelessness. My sister got very annoyed when I chose Lure over Trap in the Brrrgh, and I'm beginning to reconsider that. :|

EDIT: Ya do realize that was your 3000th post, right? :P

Having Trap without Lure is stupid. Without Lure, it's extremely hard to train Trap.

Also, Lure lets you do entire things on your own without getting beat up so much.

I don't like sound because it does the lowest damage of all the gags. I think it would be quite possible to reach a decent Laff on a soundless Toon.

Yeah, but sound is vital in boss battles. You can take down a level 12 with three of them and one elephant trunk and also in the CEO there's the One Fog Rule which actually works very well. Combinations of trunks and fogs to defeat levels are as follows:

Level 8: 4 Trunks
Level 9: 1 Fog, 2 Trunks
Level 10: 1 Fog, 3 Trunks
Level 11: 2 Fogs, 2 Trunks
Level 12: 3 Fogs, 1 Trunk

Level 13: 4 Fogs?

Without all four Toons in a Cogboss having sound, the combinations would fall apart and the fighting would be much longer and much more difficult.

Wrong idea there, Nobody. Sound is extremely useful for taking down large groups of high level Cogs (with other Toons of course), so unless you plan on getting a whole bunch of Moe Zarts, you gotta have sound. Three fully maxed Foghorns and an Elephant can take down even the toughest v1.0 Cog. :P

My ideas on all the gag tracks:

Toon-up: If you're gonna travel with one other Toon most of the time, or a group of small Toons, you might want to have this to keep them alive. If not, you can probably live without it and get all the damage tracks.
Trap: Really good damage, but most frequently gone without due to the appealing aspects of the other tracks.
Lure: Good idea if you don't want to get attacked.
Sound: See above rant.
Throw: Good luck getting out of this one.
Squirt: Good luck getting out of this one too.
Drop: My personal favorite, they do a ton of damage- as much as Trap. A Grand Piano combined with a Whole Fruit Pie can take down a level 12. And don't forget the Toontanic, which is probably the single most useful gag out there.

EDIT: What is the "one fog rule?"

Actually, Trap does more damage than Drop. The Train Tracks do more damage than the ToonTanic, and can take out level 12s in one blow if it's organic.

The One Fog Rule is a rule that is exclusive to the CEO. Since the CEO includes V2.0 Cogs, special strategies must be applied to destroy them. The One Fog Rule states that only one Toon may use fog at a time. For example:

C1 C2 C3 C4

T1 T2 T3 T4

(C's are Cogs and T's are Toons)

Toon 1 will use a single Fog Horn first. On the next turn Toon 2 will use one fog horn, and on the next round it's Toon 3's turn to use the Fog Horn, followed by Toon 4. After Toon 4, it's Toon 1's turn again, followed by Toon 2, etc.. You can use fog to take out 6 waves of Cogs with this strategy and it is very effective. Once you swap off to lure when everyone runs out of fog, there shouldn't be many Cogs left. :wink:

If Sound was a necessity, you would be forced to get it at some point.. In TTC, you are also offered Toon-Up. When you go to MML, having chosen Toon-Up, you are offered Trap as well. In the Brrrgh, you are allowed to choose whatever else you didn't get. I'm not the only soundless. The only other one I know of is a random black cat, but...

My opinions on all the gag tracks:

Toon-up: ***** There will almost always be a point in the game where there will be other Toons fighting with you. If they weren't there, you wouldn't be able to complete your Cog Building/Factory/Mint/DA/CGC/Boss. If they get attacked too many times, they will end up sad. If you use Toon-Up, they'll be able to get attacked more because they got their Laff back.
Trap: *** Trap does the highest damage of all the gags, but when used in the streets does no damage and gets you attacked. If the Lure misses, the trap won't do anything. In the event that it works, however, it is useful for getting rid of Cogs quickly.
Lure: ***** Necessary for activating Trap gags, and also stops Cogs from attacking, which is as good as Toon-Up for keeping Toons alive longer. Although it can't be used along with Sound while Toon-Up can, Lure is still the most useful gag in the game.
Sound: ** Sound does the least damage in the game, only each Cog gets the damage. Unless a decent amount of other Toons are using it, you're better off luring the Cogs and taking them out one by one with stronger gags. Although a similar argument is used to show that being soundless is a bad idea, people might not use sound for other reasons, for instance, someone might use Toon-Up instead, or be gag training, ect.
Throw: **** Although it misses sometimes, throw does above average damage and can defeat a Cog somewhat quickly in the still pretty likely event that it misses.
Squirt: **** It's average damage is capable of defeating Cogs most of the time, but it is not quite as powerful as Throw. It is almost as good, though, and helps quite a bit with Cogs who dodge a lot, or who dodge half the time but have too much health to risk throw missing.
Drop: ** Yes, two stars. When it hits, it does a whole lot of damage, not as much as Trap, but you don't need to lure. When it doesn't hit, it can cause problems, because unless the Cog got attacked a bunch anyway, in which case squirt would have done just as well, the Cog will still have a ton of health left.
Turnip: * It makes you more likely to get attacked, but it doesn't do any damage. Bad idea in most situations. Don't know why Disney ever even thought of making such a useless gag. In fact, they didn't.

Rating Guide:
***** If you don't have it, gameplay will be much harder. I will NOT make a Toon that doesn't have it.
**** Pretty useful for fighting in general, Disney should make it so you have to have it. Oh wait, I only put this rating on Throw and Squirt. Never mind.
*** Average. I would like it, but don't need it.
** It has appeal, but faults. It indeed has faults.
* Do not choose this gag track. The only gag track I put this on doesn't exist, so to be specific towards it, do not use major hacking to make it exist just so you can choose. You will get kicked out, and if you ever get unbanned you'll have a useless gag track.

Of course, I see that you guys LOVE sound and drop, think you could do without throw and squirt, and probably would give all your Toons Turnip if you had the choice. Ah well, my opinion is the one that matters, unless I'm playing on someone else's Toon.[/b]

Someone thinks SOUND is needed but...

Sound is best and save your most gags but Someone thinks it's not Needed since it does low damage, It's best to Choose sound since some rude and mean Toons might said "u must have sound" or so on.

Ok, My Optinions on the gags.

Toon-up : ***** Required, But Someone is Very Slow since they have very few friends like me.
Trap : *** Not Required unless you don't like to solo.
Lure : ***** Required, Really Useful for Everyone.
Sound : ***** Required Since some Rude and Mean toon might said "u must have sound it's needed" It's Ok if you Want to be soundless, But Beware of Rude and Mean toons.
Throw : ***** Required and Most People got this Gag maxed.
Squirt : ***** Still Required, But Useful Sometimes.
Drop : **** Required for People who likes Soloing.
Random Gags :
Boom : ** You need to lure in 2 Times. just like Trap, But does many Damage.
Gag-Up : **** Useful. Lvl 1 : Gag-Up Heal, Lvl 2 : Gag-Up Trap, Lvl 3 Gag-Up Lure, Lvl 4 : Gag-Up Sound, Lvl 5 : Gag-Up Drop, Lvl 6 : Gag-Up All (30) Lvl 7 : Gag-Up All (80)

Note :
* Not Useful. Don't Choose them.
** A bit Useful, But Still not Useful Gags.
*** Even Useful, But Require something to do.
**** Useful but Optional.
***** A needed Gags, Should Choose them.

Alright, nyo police.

My opinions on the gag tracks.

Toon-Up: ***** Vital for keeping other Toons alive. If some go sad, you might not be able to reach the end of whatever you're working on.
Trap: *** Does the most damage of any gag in the game, but while training it you will have to take the hit to lure it next. While it does have its downfalls, an organic Train Track can take down a level 12 Cog in one blow.
Lure: ***** Lure is vital if you have Trap. If you have Trap without Lure, than training Trap would be extremely difficult. If you have Lure without Trap, then that's fine too. Lure can help you get through many things on your own. Lure is the secondly most used gag in Cogbosses. When people run out of Sound, Lure is typically used. By using Lure to keep the Cogs from hurting you, you can solo a 4 story building, solo a factory, and even solo the VP, CFO, or CJ if you're a professional, WHICH NO ONE HERE IS BLAH.
Sound: ***** Sound is the most frequently used gag in Cogbosses, Factories, Mints, DA Offices, and Cog Golf Courses. It's not a very good idea going without Sound because eventually you will regret it. When going with all of those Mr. Hollywood punks into the VP when you have like 100 Laff, you will find that they almost always use sound. If someone in the group doesn't have Sound, the whole Fog-Trunk combinations will fall apart and the battle will take MUCH longer than it should and people will be taking much more damage. I've experienced it myself, you know. Also, Sound is useful for the "One Fog Rule" in the CEO that makes it so easy. If you don't have Sound, you will have a very, VERY tough time maxing your Toon, especially in the CEO.
Throw: **** THROW IS A USEFUL GAG BLAH. THE BIRTHDAY CAKE CAN TAKE DOWN A LURED LEVEL 10 COG WOO.
Squirt: **** SQUIRT IS A FREQUENTLY USED GAG BUT NOT AS FREQUENTLY USED AS THROW BLAH.
Drop: ***** Although Drop is often frowned upon as a gag that often misses, it comes extremely useful in Cogbosses. For example, take the first round of Cogs in the VP. There's something like a level 2 Telemarketer, a level 5 Mover and Shaker, and a level 12 Mr. Hollywood. Three Toons use low Sound Gags while one drops a grand piano on the Hollywood, blowing him up. Although Drop typically misses, the grand piano actually doesn't miss that much and is the most frequently used Drop gag. Drop is EXTREMELY USEFUL in the CEO against the V2.0 Cogs since it is the last gag used. Imagine this. There are four Toons and one level 11 V2.0 Cog. Three Toons will use Lure, Trap, Throw etc. while the fourth Toon will use a grand piano. The first three Toons will end up destroying the outer shell of the V2.0 Cog, revealing the Skelecog inside. The fourth Toon will then end up dropping the grand piano on the Skelecog, destroying it. This proves Drop is useful for completely destroying a V2.0 Cog in one round!
Pink Slips: ***** With a Pink Slip, you can destroy even a V2.0 Cog in one blow just by clicking 'FIRE' at your will! If you earned some Pink Slips, that is!

No, not just want. Four people with Sound make Cogbosses much easier. :P

Soundless people usually quit before they reach 120 Laff, anyways. :(
