Comments on: Released: Boggle Bash http://www.badgehungry.com/2009/06/30/released-boggle-bash/ a pogo.com fan site, blog and badge tracker Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:24:19 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Lura http://www.badgehungry.com/2009/06/30/released-boggle-bash/#comment-3400 Lura Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:21:24 +0000 http://www.badgehungry.com/?p=4623#comment-3400 I had specifically wanted hints and tips on Boggle Bash in this thread -- not necessarily comments about autos and cheating methods -- but I guess I didn't do the best job of moderating this time around. I'm going to go ahead and close out this thread before it becomes "the official BadgeHungry auto and cheating discussion thread" (hm, there's an idea). To those of you who posted hints and tips -- thanks so much! If you're coming here to look for hints or tips, there are some great gems hidden amongst the griping about cheating and autos. I have no feelings in either direction about cheat sites and/or autos... either you use them or you don't, I don't discriminate. Everyone plays in their own way for their own reasons -- to each his own! However, be warned that Pogo has in the past banned people, cancelled their accounts, and/or refused to pay them the rare jackpot prize because of auto use. The likelihood of anyone actually winning a Pogo jackpot is nearly lottery/lightning strike chances, and the chances of being caught using an auto are probably pretty slim too -- but in the end, it's your decision. Whatever you do, just make sure you're still having fun!

When if those who are so quick to holler "cheat or bot" would just use that effort to learn the game better, ie..remember new words. JUST KIDDING.... but honestly, I really looked forward to the game coming out and this game was no different from past new releases, all the accusations and B--ching really takes the fun out of getting new games anymore. Off my soapbox...ev1 have a SUPER and SAFE 4th of July, enjoy the weekend.

I have no problems with any of them, why? Because getting something from a website and applying it to a game will almost certanly take you a little bit of time then using a auto bot program. The problem I see with auto programs is the domino effect, 1 person uses it the next person gets mad at the game because another person always wins all the time so the other person gets a auto program and very soon you end with about 40 to 50% of the people no longer using anything but auto programs. I do think its a small number of people using auto bots probl less then 5% I just find it troubleing. The othe diff. is word womp/trivial pursuit your not playing as a team but as an individual so it doesnt effect me in the least. I would also like to add I really playing the game and community that is pogo has always been for the most art very nice and very interesting to talk to.

I don't cheat at either of them. I don't use the Word Generator with them. In the distant past, however, I'd frequently used it on Word Whomp. I wasn't playing against anyone else. The site gave me the words, I had to beat the clock entering them all. It was a fast way to gain the tokens back I lost in poker. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I can pick out some bizarre words in other games now. This leads to me having an overabundance of unique words, and being suspected of using some sort of cheat. Am I cheating now because I remember alot of the words from the word builder? I just have to say, if it wasn’t for the Word Generator site, I wouldn’t be so good at Scrabble or Boggle.

What are the little white marks beside the names? I've read the how to play but it doesn't say. I've never played boggle before, but I'm enjoying it. Hey guys! Quick question.

Seems cheating only applies to certain things.....ie..... Most get there trivia answers from here, back before I knew about them, I was like how does someone get a perfect score, or answer all 20 questions correctly...then was told about this site that I love no doubt.... But please tell me what the difference is in going to a site that gives you anagrams, or an auto that gives you the words??? when youre getting the same thing here....answers are answers regardless of where you get them at!!!! As long as it doesnt affect my account and my progress, I could care less what someone else does on there's... Its alot like life, they tend to their business, I tend to mine, when I come here to get the trivia answers that they so graciously supply everyday, thats MY choice and it is what is ....no matter how much someone wants to say its different...so unless you need the ego trip of being MVP in a pogo game, I would just say, as long as you do your thing, thats all that should matter... One thing about it, they cant win the jackpot for you and other than that its just a GAME !!! Just saying...... Im a little surprised at all the double standards actually….

I fail to see the difference between someone using an anagram site to help them and someone using an auto. However much you dress it up or try to justify it they are both methods of cheating. Bryan.

Even if you get more it will only actually award you the 45 towards your progress. Pogo has been doing token limits in other games so it doesn't surprise me. My only beef is that they could have capped it at around 100 words per round. It's humanly possible to achieve more than 45 a round and quite easy for some of us who do play fairly.

Not sure if this is right but in stats it lists how many games you have won. When you win the game you get a jackspin so I would think they would be the same. (Atleast for me they are-am currently at 17 for spins and it it says 17 wins). Hope that helps. As for tracking the 750 jackpot spin badge.
