penguinman (any relation of sealboy? what about polarbearwoman?
) is correctamundo. 'in cargo' is for... well, loons in cargo, mmm?
set the 'special' field to 'none' as he suggested. for one thing this will stop the loons getting into formation straightaway, and will enable them to follow the commander. when you say
"1. they wouldnt follow me ", they won't unless you're their commander.
as for the late boarding problem, loons won't move unless they need to or are told to (and sometimes not even then, the
sassinfrassin little
.....) so if they're close enough to the commander to be within spitting distance of him, they'll sometimes stay still. they seldom spit though, sadly.
ditto the comment on making the question clearer, btw. are young folks allergic to paragraphs these days?
