Weekend Open Thread

thanks for the info about the upcoming games releases, it would be good to see both games come out at the same time, but like you i’m holding my breath on the mini golf. ~Big Smiles~ at hearing that you will be archiving the crossword answers as i’m sure i’ll need some help on those seeing as i could not answer the questions i saw on recent screenshots.

as to how many badges, only 145 so far but then i’m only a recent joinee having previously being playing and helping my sister on her account.

wishing everyone a marvelous weekend

erato

I have 831 badges and love earn them all

Hi! Everyone!

As you can see I’m a badge addict! I have 1350 badges but i have been a paying member since march 2006! Pogo is the best site ever!

I have 1033 badges. Does anyone have any hints on how to get the Dice Derby Grand Prix Badge? Its the one that you have to win 600 tokens or more 10 times. Any help would be appreciated.

I have 1,162 badges. I hope Pogo comes out soon with new albums. I have completed all now and have to wait to get more. boo hoo! Good luck

I have 231 badges.

I have 891 badges :D I would have more but for half of 2007 I didn’t have club pogo. Joined in 2006. Looking forward to premium album next month and new mix n match badges even though I haven’t finished all the mix n match ones I have so far! haha

id like to say something.i know it wont do any good but pogo needs to do something about it.first id like to say i understand we all pay for our club pogo membership and yes we have the right to play how we want too.when pogo put in the passing rooms for everyone wins bingo they were suppose to be for players that are passing wilds to get their badge right? well everytime i go in these rooms there are a bunch of rude ignorant players in there calling names and doing black outs on purpose so the other players get mad.if we ask them nicely to stop they do it all the more.to me its unfair to the players who are playing fair and helping others get badge.i know people are getting sick of hearing this and go ahead call me a baby whiner .i dont care.bottom line is if pogo cant stand by their word and these passing rooms then remove them or put something in the rooms so if players do do a black out it stops them.its not that hard to do pogo.im sorry for bringing this up but someone needs to be heard .something should be done by pogo.thank you have a great weekend.also i have 1099 badges.i collect them.keep the badges coming pogo.im missing the 1 album called loyal friends.id like to get it but not sure if pogo will bring it back.

I HAVE 1639 BADGES AT PRESENT, WORKING ON RANK 40 LOTTOS EXPRESS JOB. HAVE BEEN HELPING A NUMBER OF OTHER FRIENDS TO OBTAIN BADGES TOO. LOVE DOING THE BADGES . THANK YOU , AND THANK YOU FOR INFO ON THIS SITE

I have 416 badges!!! Excited about earning more!!

Mary,
I am not House MD but I also have 1884 Badges. I have been a member since the inception of Club Pogo so I did not have to catch up like many of you did that joined in later years, plus I have super Badges and special editions that can no longer be won. I also have 1 $ badge for winning money but there are more badges then that. There is JP badge, Prize Winner badge, Tournament Host badge, Charter Member badge. I hope to win at least 2 of those hehehe.

hi all this is my 1st time commenting on here. LOve the site thanks it helps me alot with the trivia pursuit :)

I have 866 badges. I haven’t done a personal badge for maybe 3 months. I only have 2 left to complete the 2004 album, and they are RATED games for 4 players. Haven’t been able to find 3 other players to help with them :(

Tabitha,

Of course getting 600 tokens or more in dice city roller is chance, but I got it pretty quick. Always play on 6 lap races , and don’t take any chances getting a hazard for the 3rd and 6th lap. So play it safe on 2nd and 5th laps. You should play with bots as well, they don’t seem to go for the big stuff, except for the 1st lap cause there are no hazards on lap 1. gl

hagd all tc gb

Hi all, I love Pogo and have 1,140 badges. Have a great week-end and stay safe.

I have 1454 badges. Have been a member since 11/2004, Good to see I am not the only badge floozy out here! good luck to all.

I’ve been a member for a five years and have more than 400 badges. I did not really focus on badges until this past year when a friend of mine became addicted :) . I really enjoy when Pogo offers the chance to do more than 1 personal challenge in a week. Wish they’d do it more often so that some of us can catch up! This is a great site. Thanks for all of your hard work and thanks to everyone for being so considerate and polite with your comments and help.

On Operation Mania…there is a long-standing glitch which the upgrade made worse. I have ranked out, and the only way I was able to do that was to change my id on the main screen to someone else temporarily, which reset the game without reseting all of the underlying stats (although you will need to get all 22 of the trophies again), going back to my id, and NEVER again buying the third bed or xray machine or finishing level 35 until I had completed Rank 50…then I did all three of those and my monies and upgrades promptly vanished again! Try asking in a populated chat room in the game. Someone there has been through the reset process and it does work!

Oh, and I have somewhere over 1400 badges…#1400 was Operation Mania Rank 50. #1500 will be Lottso Deluxe Rank 50. It’s a sign of addiction to have these things planned out, right?
Thanks, Lura, for the great site and work you do; it is appreciated!

i dont tell players how to play their games.why im bringing this up is because some players do this out of spite and laugh about it.i only make blackouts when i have too.i agree you should pass wilds even if you have to do a blackout.i always let room know if it has to be that way.they dont have a problem with that.instead of players fighting about it pogo needs to arrange the rules better or do away with passing rooms.

I love your site Lura,and so glad you will be posting the crossword answers.
Loved the mini release this time~ so much in fact got it all.I have 1290 badges and love them all as some were quite hard to get.
Have a great weekend everyone.The poem was wonderful Susan and thank you for sharing it with us.

I have 1285 – Club Pogo member since 2005 (wow, has it really been that long?)

I’m not super-excited for Crossword Cove — another daily that I’ll have to make sure I get in to do when I have the chance. I’m not that great with crosswords (give me numbers over definitions anyday!) so I’m hoping BH will have the answers posted.

Thanks for everyone’s great work on this site. It’s truly much appreciated!

Oh, and @Tabatha … the only hint I know of is to play in the 9-lap rooms, I heard they tend to give the higher spins. Otherwise, cross your fingers when you win the game. (And, if you can play the game without bots – if you have friends who will sit in the game and not play – then at least you’ll get the spin on every game)

Hi, I’m new here. I’ve been following along on this site for several months and appreciate all the info on upcoming Pogo events and all the badge help that can be found here. I found BH and Pogo through the other site for Big Fish about 7 or 8 months ago and am now a happy badge addict with 314 badges so far.

I was surprised at the amount of badges I had. After reviewing some of the responses by people I didn’t think I had as many as people had stated. I’ve been a member since July 13, 2004 and have loved every minute of my membership. I have made many friends and look forward to many more years. The badges I have earned are as follows:
Weekly: 628
Mix-n-Match: 87
Premium: 120
Game Award: 117
Special Edition: 82
For a total of 1034

“how to get the Dice Derby Grand Prix Badge? Its the one that you have to win 600 tokens or more 10 times. Any help would be appreciated.”
I completed that badge in February 2009. I had attempted this badge a few times before finally getting it. For me the trick would be playing 9 laps and getting a room of people who will help you win. You also could get just one person and hop in and out of the room. You are at the mercy of Pogo though because if you take first place it is dependent on the spin if you get 600 or more tokens or not. But you have to win in order to at least get that chance to get 600 or more. If you go 2nd, 3rd, or 4th you won’t even get a shot at 600 or more. If you want help look me up.

I have been a club pogo member for a couple of years and I currently have 618 badges and counting. I only started doing the M&M badges and the premium badge books in the last year or so. I think I have about 10 or so completed albums. Happy hunting! :)

I have 820 badges and enjoyed earning most of them.

Will it ever end??? LOL I can’t wait till I get my mushroom passing badge ( i only need about 12,000 more nuts ugh…LOL) so I don’t ever have to go back and play that game and listen to the BS.

Right now, I’m up to 1,507 badges. I got a whopping 7 yesterday, including the Boggle rank 20 badge, the 6 year anniversary badge, and the Road to Happiness album completion badge.

Have a great weekend everyone!

IWANTTOWIN29, Pogo doesn’t offer Special Edition Badges more than once, thats why they are Special. When they are offered is the only time you are able to earn them. If they bought this one back they would then need to bring back every single Special Edition Badges right from the beginning for those members who didn’t earn them or weren’t around to get them

regarding the operation issues, i luckily had finished the story line before my game went kaput. after that, i played for ranks in marathon, which went faster than the story line anyway since your ranks depend upon patients seen.

it IS irksome though, and it would be nice to see that fixed.

Well, I have 955 badges. But I do have a question for Lura. Are you going to post the way to win a chess badge that was posted last weekend? Thanks for running an excellent site!

I have a total of 1,541 Badges! woot

Penguin99994,
I am not certain, since I reset myself a long, long time ago (and managed not to anger the POGO gods again, not certain how!); I seem to recall that on the initial screen where you have the choice between Marathon and Story, down in the lower left you can go out to the Mini Mall or Change User. I believe that I clicked change user and deleted myself there…then put my name back in and basically it started me at level one but with the same underlying rank (say 19) and no trophies. I then built back up without, like I said, going ever past level 35 or the 3rd bed or xray machine. I am not certain which of those three items is the fatal ones…but one of them is! I sure hope this works for you. If not, all I can suggest is going in the game one evening when one of the rooms has several people and asking around. Someone will have done this also, more recently.

good luck to all of the addicts and badge nuts from another!

I am definitely a badge addict and have 1585 badges in Pogo…I buy a lot of the Mix-and Match badges and all the albums. I guess you could say Im spending my kid’s inheritance in Pogo!! …oh well..they will have lots of Pogo badges…lol

I will certainly try deleting myself tomorrow and see what happens. Have a sick child right now so cant play around the puter to much. I appreciate your input on this and it gets very annoying to buy all upgrades again. Will post here if it does work….Thanks Alot

This is the first post i have done, first i would like to say what a great site BH is and thank you for the answers you give us for TP and looking forward to crosswood cove.. I would like to ask has anybody else notice the date’s being wrong on the UK site for TP about 2 days everyweek, it would be nice if pogo would fix this… thank you again for the answers and keep posting them..anybody who don’t want the answer don’t have to look at them..Oh and I have 834 badges and looking forward to getting more… Oh and I want to say thank you to the player who save us the hints for playing chess… have a good weekend everybody and happy badge playing…

OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!! It worked Operation now does not loose the upgrades. I deleted myself and put myself back in, played 1 round bought 1 upgrade, logged out, logged back in about 15 minutes later and upgrade still there. I have to start all over from Level 1 but who cares, once i get to level 33 i am gonna start back over at 20 so i dont have to worry about this again. TY TY TY TY!!!!! I am at rank 34, still have some to go to rank out so love this tip. Ty Robin you are a GEM!!!!!!

Around 800 badges I decided I didn’t need to buy all of the albums and m&m badges …. now I’m a bargain ho and am waiting for them to be on sale. Still, I have accumulated 1375 badges …. I have 422 game award badges. This interests me …. how many have a lot of game awards. Now that you can just buy badges this to me is the true measure of a pogo addict. I want finished games and tokens ….. up to 88 million on that count. And no I don’t cheat or play poker (as so many with really high token counts say they earned their tokens lol!!)

just me thank you.i will try the rooms you mentioned.i just cant wait till i get that badge and im out of there.only go in when its a badge to do.have a great weekend.

iI have a total of 1220 badges get all the mix and match badges and the albums. I do have a question does anyone know how you achieve the adventurer badge in jigsaw treasure hunter? Love pogo I have got my mom and sister both membership and they love it also

I have 1861 Badges so far. All games finished.
I love your Site,its just great.

On the Operations Mania: The game has always been like that. I tried all the suggestions pogo and the selling co forget the name right now had and all they did was screw up my computer really, really BAD. I can laugh now but was unhappy then. I went ahead and just finished the badges like it was.

I have ranked out on a few games I will name them keno pop,pop fu,pogo bowl hog heaven slots dice city roller I will let u know when i have finnished some more games

Sparky…the Adventurer Badge will come automatically by just playing. I believe I got it around Rank 6-9. It means you have done at least one puzzle in every puzzle category.

Jan deleting yourself is like when they ask you NOT JAN? and then you get a list like and you can click on other names to log in as. You delete your profile information there…NOT IN YOUR STATS and then you just pick a different slot and set up the same profile again and click to connect to that one. I hope this made sence to you.

I have a total of 806 badges! Woo! …and I thought that was a lot till I started reading how many people here have, lol. I was in a competition with a friend to see who could get the most badges… but sadly, shes almost at 900 because she buys all of the mix n match and I dont. :/ I’d say she won, haha.

I have 776 badges total and currently working on completing 2004 weekly album. I have only 8 left :) Mostly rated backgammon badges. I wish they would add bots to that one, because I’m not a good player and to win is a a rare thing for me. lol

I don’t do mix and match, but always try to complete the weekly ones.

Have a good weekend everyone.

1013 badges for me

I LOVED the mini selection this week. Now I wish Pogo would give us more pages in our snapshot album! I have 96 snapshots to date (that I literally take a ‘snapshot’ of via puter) because there is no room on pogo LOL.. talk about addiction? ;)

Enjoy the weekend all!

A gd friend has given me ur site as a GRT reference venue .Thank you for all info provided thru ur site!Very up todate n impressive !
I have a total of 1507 badges accumulated so far! :-)

I have two accounts on Pogo, my main Club account and then a free account. I use the free account to double browse with on games like backgammon or 2 player games for weekly badges. Also, whenever there are month passes and promotions I use those and work on badges on that name.

I have 1344 badges.. I guess you can say i’m addicted to pogo lol.. and ty in advance for posting the answers to the crossword cove coming out.. i’m sure i’ll need it if i get stuck
Angel

I joined Pogo on 05/27/2008 and I have 594 badges.

I also want to mention that I am sick to death of Everyone Wins Bingo whining. The RULES in the passing rooms are exactly the SAME as in the other rooms. The people in the passing rooms can be awfully rude and call people names and tell them to leave the rooms if they continue to get blackouts. If you click on the play now button instead of selecting a room you can be put into a passing room by Pogo and not even be aware that you are in a “passing” room. The behavior of the people in these rooms are worse then a bunch of children. When I am in a passing room I pass but if my last alternative is a blackout then I blackout. The people in these rooms seem to think that a “blackout” ends all of the passing on the spot, I contacted Pogo and was told that this was not the case. Do you know anything about it Lura??

Also, thanks Lura for a wonderful site….you hard work is very much appreciated.

i have 983 hehe, joined in sept ’05, absolutely a badge hog!there r a few i just cant do, but my gf does them for me if she can

272 badges, just found this site,,, yippeeee

Happy 6th Birthday Club Pogo.
I have completed 1449 badges.
I have maxed out in the game Operation Mania. I also had the problems with losing upgrades. I thought they would have fixed it by now.
Have a good weekend everyone and good luck with your badges.

oooppppssss I did figure out what was wrong in my playing tp uk. I played at 1030pm my time. Big mistake on my part. I entered the uk sites tp and just hit play todays…..yep you guessed it…..it was for the 26th. lol……I did play the 25th’s and it was just fine. Again tho….my mistake. I have decided to play them both everyday before 5pm to avoid this problem again. I will just think of this one time, as A senior moment. hahaha!

Lura, i just wanted to say how much i enjoy this site. have read alot of helpful hints and tips. your help in TP is much appreciated. i enjoy reading the comments on the week end. new to this site as you can probably tell lol. have a great week end everyone.

Hi everyone, someone I met in Monopoly Slots told me about this site and now I’m totally hooked coming here as opposed to the another site :)

I think I’m low on the badge pole with 348. Been a member since 8/2007 when a dear friend gave me a gift of Club Pogo and that’s all she wrote I’m hooked LOL. There’s lots of games I don’t care to play so just don’t get the badge unless my son or step grands or a friend volunteers to get them for me. I’ve been gifted 4 albums and finished them, but don’t think I’ll buy any till after my vacation next month.

Lura, TYVM for all your hard work on the site. Having a MB of my own I know what goes into it, so BRAVO on your excellent work. Oh and I love the TP answers…sometimes I forget to check them and tough it out LOL.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

I have 1,320 badges on pogo. I am truly a badge addict lol, I think this is my favorite part of this site. Not only do you get the pleasure of playing the game, but a sense of satisfaction of accomplishing something when you earn the badge.

Hi all I have 626 badges and I am liiking forward to ranking out in Boggle bash.i love that game..this web site is awesome ty

1,299 badges

for sexyspongebobc……..I did the bridge badge you are talking about & had no clue how to play bridge LOL …….What I did. Play the bots. Think of it as playing spades. When u get a gd hand that u can take a lot of tricks bid 1, otherwise pass. The bots will always pass. So you will only play when u have a good hand. Just jump in & try it. It really is an easy badge to get. Good luck on it.
I love this site & all the wonderful info. Thank you so much Lura for all ur hard work

Help! I’ve tried 3 times to win the Phlinx Power Stone Badge where you have to drop 5 or more stones 250 times in two hours. Got close once, but no cigar. I think I’ve figured out that the stone you shoot doesn’t count toward the 5. I’ve tried adding stones and then making the entire thing fall, but just can’t get the 250 in 2 hours. Anyone have a tip? This is eating my time and keeping me from other badges! LOL
thanks so much.

I’ve been a member since 05/05/2001 and have only managed to rank out in 19 games (20 if you count Jigsaw Detective, which I complete by the 1st of every month). I keep all of the games I haven’t ranked out in as my “favorites list”, removing them as I complete them and adding the new releases, and I currently have 63 games yet to complete. *huge sigh* knowing 2 more releases are coming soon.

27 Completed Albums:
6 Weekly
8 Mix-n-Match (2 more are nearly completed, just waiting for weekly’s in the same game)
13 Premium

1327 Badges Earned (per Pogo)
626 Weekly
183 Mix-n-Match
112 Premium
295 Game Award
111 Special Edition

I also counted manually (’1′ for x2, ’2′ for x3, etc for Weekly and Game Awards; ’1′ for every 100 less than the 1000 points available after initially earning the badge in Mix-n-Match and Premium) all of the badges that I’ve earned multiple times that Pogo doesn’t count in their total but I think should be since they are still ‘earned’ are:
173 Mix-n-Match
239 Premium
2 Game Award
For a total of 682… added to the 1327, which gives me a grand total of 2009 badges actively pursued and achieved! (Excellent timing on this question, Lura! LOL)

Since I’ve been unemployed for 2 and a half years, I’ve been waiting each month hoping for sales on items before they retire. Items I have yet to purchase are:
112 Mix-n-Match badges
10 Premium Albums

Been a member since August of last year and I have 806 badges….and must admit I enjoyed getting every one of them…

Lura I will say again ….you are the most “unconditional” person I have met through pogo, you give alot of your time and sacrafice alot to keep up well informed on our pogo addictions …

You have ALWAYS maintained a well respected site and sometimes thats hard to do “online”….so kudos again and to ALL that contribute in some way on here….Im always anxious to see whats going on, and im never disappointed….

Good Luck to all of you and to another xx number of badges <:-)

Lura lubs ya missy!!!!!

I have 1375 badges so far! Thank you Lura for your hard work at this wonderful site.I visit it daily.

krushjc, as far as that phlinx badge goes, in my opinion, try to focus on the nighttime part of the round. I haven’t looked at that badge, so hopefully the nighttime part counts for it. For me, its a lot easier to get multiple groups of 5 (sometimes as much as 40) there, especially if you wait to release the symbol as long as possible. You may be wasting a good chunk of your time on the daytime part of the round. I would just blaze through that the best I could.

I hope this makes sense and is of some help.
