Supervising the Supervisors
Posted by Ai Spai on June 8, 2024 at 5:00 PM
Mhmm- yup. Wait, Bonnie, just a sec now, I think I'm getting something from the surface.
Something different?
Yikes, that doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound like anything. In fact, it sounds like NOTHING!
Why is my Cogspeak Discombobulator broken? You're supposed to be better than a regular Cogspeak Communicator... speak to me!
BWOP BWOP BWAP BWAH, RAH RABA...
No, not like that! There has to be a logical answer to this... I need eyes on target. Looking up, now!
KER-CLUNK!
Ai Spai... spies with my little eye... something brown and- oh. Sticky. Sticky from all that hair product, I bet! Doctor Googlymoogly, fire up the good ol' G.I.M.M.I.C.K. – I need it to observe the Factory with Two-Face, Back Stabber, Glad Hander, and... Downsizer protocols enacted! Yes, all at once! It seems like The Club President has come to visit the lovely new Factory Foreman... on our turf, no less! This oughta be interesting. Let's get it on the blog!
"Miss Club President? Uh, pleasure to make your acquaintance again. We were expecting you later today-"
"Likewise, Foreman. And I figured it would be alright if I just... popped in. It's not like I want this grimy, old place to be my last stop of the day, right?!"
"Of course... Let us proceed with your security review."
Bonnie, could ya bring me some popcorn? Muchly appreciated.
"Foreman, you're telling me you store gag inventory in that Lava Room over there?"
"Yes."
"WITHOUT any additional security in the foyer?"
"Yes..."
"Well, that's a faux pas. Do you even know what that means?! We can't have that around here. Fix it. New security, and store something worthwhile in there, will you? Why are those gears spinning so fast? Un-be-lieveable."
"Hmph... I'll jot a memo and circle back. Why don't we just continue the tour for now?"
"Yes, let's."
"Through here, we have the-"
"Is it just me, or do these doors open really slow? Sorry, were you saying something? I was just saying that you should really tweak these things to open faster."
"I-"
"And just what exactly is that in your lapel pocket? How many Merits is that? ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY?! That's a liability risk carrying that much. I'll have no choice but to put this on your file, you know."
"Duly noted. You know, I'm quite enjoying our talk, but... this has taken much longer than I expected. Why don't we continue this conversation at a later date over a game of golf?"
"Oh, you think you can golf? With me?"
"I do. And... I'll have you know, whenever you need a new arm after swinging your club too hard, where do you think that comes from? Here. This grimy, old Factory."
BAM!
And there he goes! She really can hit with that golf club! Yeeeesh!
Don't worry, they'll definitely have a new lackey promoted to Foreman in no time. That was something, though! I've never heard her talk in realtime before... The Club President should come around here more often!
From the sounds of it, some smaller changes are going on in Cog Headquarters around Toontown. Keep your peepers peeled for that, Toons! Now scamper – I gotta keep listening in on you-know-who and finish my popcorn!
Munch, munch, munch...

Sellbot Factory
• Adjusted Merit payout in the Sellbot Factory:
• Sliced The Factory Foreman’s Merit bonus in half. He’s cutting costs!
• Stationed a new group of Cogs in the Lava Room Foyer for extra security.
• Snuck a fourth Cog into the Oil Room.
• Additionally, slowed the rotation speed of the Lava Room gears in the Steel Factory for accessibility.
• Changed the Sound Restock Barrel in the Lava Room to grant Foghorns, exclusively in the Steel Factory.
• Sellbot Factory doors now open a teeny bit quicker. Optimization!
Cashbot Mint
• Moved the spinning gear tower found in Cashbot Mints closer to the exit and slowed rotation speed for accessibility.
Lawbot Headquarters
• Fixed a possible crash when leaving the DA Office Lobby.
Bossbot Headquarters
• Implemented a new portcullis gate sound effect.
• The C.E.O. has finally received the memo that The Back Nine is no more, to stop mentioning it, and to also fix his grammar during the Waiter Round. Sounds like someone’s getting fired!
• Reverted the rate of v2.0 Cogs found in the Banquet Room from 50% to 33%.
• Added custom countdown durations to the Waiter Round, depending on the difficulty tier. Each tier yields an extra 15 seconds from the base countdown of 270 seconds. A maximum-difficulty C.E.O. Battle yields a countdown of 330 seconds.
Bugs n’ Blunders
• Added missing dialogue lines for the “Flood The Market” attack.
• Fixed an issue where Supervisor Rare Drop data was not properly accounting for v2.0 Cog Disguise status or a given Cog Facility’s difficulty. These values have been updated for all Toons. Happy hunting, for real this time!

Man, the Club President must be trying to put me out of a job with how much she's driving these other Cogs mad.
Way cool updates bro
:D
Such a good update! would love to see the cog bosses get revamped music themes as well to spice it up! keep up the good work!
wow we havent heard from the sellbot task force in a while
So, The Club President has come to The Factories for a service overview. Well I do say, this rather puts me down a few Laugh. The Foreman has a way things are meant to be done, I'm sure he had good reason to have so many merits in his pockets. Whatever next could The Club President suggest? 2.0s in the Steel Factory? Perhaps 9 new Factories with each differing in design like those Golf Courses? A Foreman to be stationed in the third floor of every Annex in the Field Offices? A 5 Star Field Office? Bossbots, always raising the budget while downsizing at the same time. Well, hopefully the Club President will keep to the Golf Courses now, or perhaps we should alert the Vice President of this. That would stop her. Still though, should be nice to see the doors opening faster now, they've been needing oil for some time. Here's to The Foreman though, keeping the factories working like clockwork, and better than ever.
The club president is so bossy!
Nice!!
I hope for the Executive Office mystery to be solved; I wonder what will be found in there.
So I haven't faced the Club President yet, and this is making me even more reluctant to. I...feel like she shouldn't be able to destroy the Factory Foreman. Like, isn't that our job? He's not even of her division, for Professor Pete's sake. So much Cog-drama...keep us posted, Ai Spai. (And thanks to Bonnie for the popcorn.)
Cog Tea. I never thought I'd see the day. Manage your own department, Club President. Geez. Leave the Foreman alone.
Burp! I ate all the gags in the sellbot factory! :D
Gadzooks! I'm surely going to grind some V.P.'s after this one folks!
ok
I wonder when all four of them will meet up...
