Happy Weekend Everyone!
This past week was pretty interesting in Pogo-land. After much outrage and anger over the Tri-Peaks Stone Idol badge, Pogo changed the badge to a Special Edition (though it’s still not actually been changed…yet). It’s pretty rare that Pogo changes a live badge, and usually when they do it’s to change the badge requirements, not change the type of the badge. This week, their change affected the availability of the badge and the response has been mixed.
It was a hot hot hot discussion topic and as much as I personally would like to shove it off the table, I’m sure people will still want to talk about it. Instead we can talk perhaps about other badges in the past that were changed? There’s always the infamous Quackadoodle badge. Earlier this week, Rick brought up the “Hiiiiyaaaaahhhhh!!!” badge for Pop Fu, from Dec. 14, 2005 which originally required you to complete the bonus round 75 times but now it’s 40. What other badges have been changed that you remember? Maybe we can compile a list together.
Do you US folk have any big plans for the upcoming holiday week? Who’s traveling the longest distance to celebrate? I hope you all have a great upcoming week and Happy Thanksgiving!
The usual rules apply: you can talk about or ask anything you want about Pogo-related things in the Weekend Open Thread — just be nice to each other and to me, last week really stretched out my moderating muscles and they need the rest.
See you in the comments!
