Wandering Workers

I don't think anyone's having problems understanding your method, it's just that either A) they have an alternate method they feel works as well or better, or B) it's not working quite as well for them as for you. It's B in my case. My method during an intense session of max collecting was doing exactly what Annette recommends: tap-taptap- taptaptaptaptaptap. But her results and mine were at odds-- Otto, even though he's on top of the list, would go wandering off. Tapping everyone else first, as someone above recommended, required more effort and attention than I wanted to expend during such a session. Your method of waiting a beat or two works better for me, but it allows more characters to wander-- not as far, but it does add to the time. My (and Annette's) original method works just fine at the Body Works, Phar-mer John's, IoT, and the theater. I'm experimenting with building placement with mixed results, but for now have settled on banishing Otto from Shøp, and using your method at the coffee shop. Thank you one and all for your suggestions and assistance!
