First Look: Tri-Peaks Special Edition Badge

Lura — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:50:14 +0000

Well, the artwork is in. This is how our Tri-Peaks “Stone Idol” badge looked and how it will look when it becomes a Special Edition badge. Apparently they’re calling it a “Badge of Honor”.

Before:

Tri-Peaks Solitaire – Stone Idol Badge

and after:

Tri-Peaks Solitaire – Special Edition Badge

For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, the Tri-Peaks weekly challenge from 11/11-11/17 was difficult for some people to complete (play 35 wildcards in one week) so Pogo decided to change it to a Special Edition badge.

For those of you who haven’t looked yet, it still hasn’t been moved from our 2009 albums into the Special Edition album, but we expect it’ll be moved soon.

Update 12/1/09 the Stone Idol badge is now officially a Special Edition badge.

Special Notice: Tri-Peaks Stone Idol Badge

Lura — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:42:07 +0000

Make sure you note this recent news release from Pogo — the Stone Idol badge from this week’s weekly challenge in Tri-Peaks Solitaire will be changed to a Special Edition badge.

(This is screenshotted here for archival purposes. You can find the original for a limited time on the Pogo News page.)

If you’re still working on this badge, don’t forget you need to complete it by midnight tonight (this is probably Pogo-time, Pacific time zone, but the earlier you get it done the better)!

You can make comments about this at the original weekly challenge thread until tomorrow when (thankfully) this whole fiasco will be behind us and we’ll have all new badges to pursue.
