The V.P.

Getting Started

Once you have enough merits to be ready for a promotion, go up from the entrance of Sellbot Headquarters to some doors (Across the pit). Enter any one of them, they all go to the same place; The VP Lobby. At the end will be a gigantic elevator. Enter it along with seven other people (Or you'll be sorry!) to make a total of eight people in the elevator. So it's a good idea to move to a bigger district with more people in it when VP`ing.

First, you'll see a little "Video" with you walking up towards the VP. The toon will wave down to you and ruin your disguise by saying "Have you come to save me?". The VP will notice you as toons as take off your cog disguises.

The sides you're put on are sometimes random, but they usually depend on what time you entered the elevator. For example, if you were the first one on, you would most likely be on the side with the most people.

When all cogs are defeated on one side, they wait for the other side to finish off the remainder of the cogs. Then the VP takes a run for it.

Follow him (But don't run into him!) up the hill. Now you'll see the toon in the cage say some more babble.

Again, you'll be divided into two seperate groups; But this time it's completely random where you go. Just fight some more cogs (Yes, more cogs). Actually, these are skelecogs. They are just like the cogs you just battled, but a little more stronger. You'll see less cogs this battle, though.

The Big Fight

After defeating these cogs, the VP will turn as the toon in the cage gets your attention again.

After the shopkeeper is done talking, the fun part comes. Jump up into the toon's cage. You'll receive pies!

See that new blue button with a pie on it? Click it; You'll throw a pie! Hold it down longer/shorter to make the blue bar under it go up/down. The more the bar is filled, the more straight it goes. The more the bar is empty, the more nearer it goes. Another way to throw a pie is by pressing the insert key. You get unlimited (Well, I for one have never ran out) pies, so don't worry about wasting them.

At this point, you have three things to do. (But, just to let you know, the front of the VP is closest to the toon in the cage. The back is the side facing away from the cage)

1) Confuse the VP. Go to the back (Or front, most people prefer back) of the VP and wait for his cage under him to open. If you don't get hit by the gears, try to throw a pie in it. Boom, he's dazed if someone, including you, gets a pie in there from either side. He'll be dazed for a short while. Repeat this process as he gets undazed. While he's dazed, you can go to the front of the VP and go back to job two; then come back to this job if he's undazed. Or just move to another job. Or, just stand by until he gets undazed again.

2) Fight the VP. While people on the above job are throwing pies into the VP's cage, go to his front side. (This is not an option, you MUST be at his front side) When he gets dazed (Birds fly around his head), throw pies at his body! Be quick when you do this, before he's undazed! When he gets undazed, you can move to the job 1 or 3, or stand by for when he gets dazed again.

3) Toon up others. This job isn't taken often, and because of that, toons go sad. The VP does fight (See below), and you cant use gags to heal others. What can you do? Throw pies! Check toon's Laff points often. If you see them getting low, stand close to them. Throw pies at their bodies. For every pie you throw, they gain a laff point. Usually, toons will say "I need more laff points", "Help!", or "I need a toon-up" if they're in their doom state.

The VP attacks! Watch out for the VP. He attacks in many ways...

* If the VP starts to spin his upper body around: Run away quickly; or take the damage. When he spins, he releases tiny gears that hit your toons head (Ouch!) which take away a few laff points; Nothing too bad. But always something to keep away from. (-3) (?)

* If the VP starts throwing gears: Move out of the way of the gears! Or, try jumping at the correct time to avoid the gears. (-3) (?)

* If the VP starts to jump in the air: Jump right before hits the ground! If you're on the ground when he lands, he will take away a LOT of laff points! (-10)

The VP will start rolling up the hill if he doesn't get dazed soon. He'll get faster and faster when he starts to move; But he won't move very quickly unless you don't do anything with him - So as long you and your group isn't lazy, you don't have to worry about this.

If a toon goes sad, it happens. It's pretty special for a group to lose at least one toon - But a lot of the better toons with more experience prevent it from happening as often.

The objective is to keep dazing the VP, keeping toons healthy, and hitting him with pies. He'll start moving backwards when you hit him with pies. Keep hitting him until he's gone over the edge. When he goes over the edge, you win!

After this, go get a cup of chocolate milk or something. It'll display, just like any other cog battle, what gag experience all eight toons gained, which might take awhile. It will also show if any toons completed any toontasks.

The Reward

Every time you battle the VP, there will be a new toon up in the cage. He or she will give you a toon card if you complete the fight with the VP. Each toon gives you a diffrent toon card, which do diffrent things depending on who gave it to you. You may only use each card once, unless you get duplicates of the card.

After it showed everyone what everyone gained in gag experience and toontask-wise, it will bring you to the cage with all eight toons surrounding it. The toon will speak to you. Skip through.

You'll be teleported back to the playground (Not the lobby). Open your shticker book. Flip to where it shows what parts of the Cog suit you have and merits. You'll see your now needing more merits than the first time, and you still have some cog parts. If any were lost, go back into the factories and get them. If you still have them, go get the merits and fight him again!

Now take a look at your SOS page (The second last page in the book). You should have a new toon card. On top it should say what it does (Restock Trap, Toon up, etc.). Use this in battle by clicking on the SOS button (In battle) on the right hand side, and clicking on the card's button. It will call that toon up, which will do what the words above the toon's head says it does. It affects all toons in the battle.

...and there you have it. Everything you need to know about Sellbot HQ.
