LOL sorry I was late seeing this, but I was going to say on your first run, dont be upset if you lose and instead take it as a key learning experience. There's a skill to jumping off tables and jumping often, not hugging the snacks and letting others who need them get some, and how safe or unsafe as well as how useful and useless are the golf positions.
My RL friend said after the first run: "I know what I have to do next time" and she did. Even if then it takes fine tuning, there's a strategy in mind, and she did manage to win that second one.
The strategy falls into two best scenarios: slow him down or make him keep changing his direction.
With 3 golfers (not 2 and you need more people on tables for there to be 4) you can turn his treads red and easily outrun the CEO.
With all players manning the tables, he might be quick, but he shifts back and forth in place often and he will again be easier to escape from with this hesitation. That and being squirted by so many remaining toons that his strength wanes quickly.
I had it lucky my first time out: I saw a video made on test first and it was planned that everybody would be at a table. The entire run went 35 minutes.
Other than setting the right conditions, the skill part involves learning how to dodge the streams of balls when he yells fore, which you now know
. As we all know laff can go down quickly.
I havent played since about May or June when the bug started, but I had made it to a point where I rarely went too low and a couple of times I didnt lose any laff (considering I like to jump on close tables to get as rapidfire as possible with the CEO, that's some achievement). Only twice in my whole time playing the CEO was I ever in range of a unite, so I could never regard them as something to rely on or ever expect. I
have needed snacks, and when someone's permanent position is at the belts that pisses me off. They arent playing as far as I'm concerned, and those freeloaders should leave the game instead of bringing everyone else down - because that's what they are doing.
A major factor in success - believe it or not - is to allow your laff threshold to lower as the game wears on. Yes, it's nice to be above 100 laff at first, but be happy to be at 70 laff a ways in, and near the end 60 or even 50 laff is a blessing while someone with 20 should be allowed the little snacks left if there are any.
Anyway, as far as first tries go, don't worry about it; it's perfectly normal and if you've come away from it with ideas on what to do differently, then you've won.
