Weekend Open Thread

It's Always Baby Time!Happy Weekend Everyone!

We’re back! Welcome to the first weekend open thread of the new year! Thanks again for your patience while I went on maternity leave. It’s been a long and fun seven weeks for me, but things are pretty much back to normal (except my sleep schedule, ugh) and so these weekend open threads will run once again every Friday through Sunday. For those of you who haven’t participated in one before, the weekend open threads are your chance to ask any questions or leave comments about Pogo that you may have. We also provide a discussion question for those who just want to participate but don’t have any burning topics of their own.

This weekend’s question comes from Nephthys: have you ranked out in any Pogo games? If so, which one(s)?

Feel free to answer this question, ask one of your own, or have a discussion on anything Pogo-related in a comment below. See you in the comments!

  1. I have ranked out in the games Hog Heaven, TP, KenoPop (waiting for them to add more ranks) and Scrabble. Now trying to work on Monopoly Slots and Word Whomp in the 40s on both of them.

  13. Ive ranked out in Dice City Roller, Hog Heaven Slots, Keno Pop, Scrabble, Sweet Tooth 2, Trivial Pursuit, and Everybody Wins Bingo.

  14. Hi Lura…so very glad you are back and congrats.

    I have ranked out in aces up, dice city roller, first class solitaire, hog heaven slots, lost temple poker, panda pai gow poker, world class solitaire, thousand island solitaire, kenopop, ali baba slots, mahjong safari, addiction solitaire, jigsaw treasure hunter, everyone wins bingo, tri-peaks solitaire, sock hop slots, casino island blackjack, sweet tooth II, jungle gin, stackem, trivial pursuit, phlinx, and spooky slots.

    Sure wish they would add ranks to all the old games…upsets me that they just added ranks to the new monopoly game.

  16. Ive only been a member since September, and I like to spread out how I play games so I dont get bored of one. Im very close in EWB and Hog Heaven though, so I hope they add more ranks, especially in HH! And I am at 40 in Lottso Deluxe, so Ill be there in the next couple weeks!

  17. Hi Lura!

    Welcome back. Congratulations and please give your little one a hug from me.

    Ive ranked out in lots of games. Looking forward to some new ones.

  18. Welcome back Lura and congrats on your adorable new addition! As a POGO member for less than 2 years, have thus far only ranked out in Hog Heaven, Keno Pop, Spooky Slots and TP. Was ranked out in Monopoly until more ranks were added this week. Getting close (in the 40s) on Crossword Cove, Poppitt and Sweet Tooth. By the way, it was sheer brilliance of you to have as the focus of your last column (pre-baby) players willing to help others or those needing help with badges. While you were away, no doubt many new friendships were formed and maybe it made us all miss these weekend open threads just a little less. Have found some great new POGO pals, and we are working furously on ranking up in Bloop togethter, thanks to the method shared on your site. Hope everyone has a healthy and prosperous New Year, and a great weekend!

  21. Welcome back Lura, and congratulations on the baby!

    Just this past weekend I ranked out on Way to Go Bowling, and I’ve also reached the maximum ranks in Ali Baba Slots, Battle Phlinx, Dice City Roller, Hangman Hijinks, Harvest Mania, Hog Heaven Slots, KenoPop, Lottso Deluxe, Operation Mania, Panda Pai Gow Poker, Pictureka Museum Mayhem, Pogo Bowl, Sockhop Slots, Spooky Slots, Stellar Sweeper, Turbo 21, Word Whomp, Word Whomp Underground, and Word Whomp Whackdown. I don’t quite have the highest possible ranks in Fortune Bingo and Pop Fu, but my ranks in them are high enough to have earned the last rank badge in each so I still consider them “done” too. Also I used to have Wonderland Memories and the Poppit Show completed before they had more ranks added to them. The next ones I hope to finish are Monopoly Slots (I’m up to rank 48 there…) and Boggle Bash.

  22. HI LURA!!!!!

    It’s SO good to see you back and I was SO surprised to see you with the Weekend Thread up that I’ve forgotten the question, LOL LOL

    Oh, oh…it’s what games we’ve ranked out in. Yeah, ok…..well, umm, ummm, can’t think!!

    I’ll come back when I can remember what games I’ve ranked out in, ok? hahaha

    Really good to have you HOME!! We’ve all missed you terribly. Give the “guys” a hug from us. 🙂

    (((Hugs to ALL)))

    Kat F.

  23. I’ve ranked out in 53 of the 96 games to earn ranks in. I won’t list them all since it’s a long list lol, but a few that I am proud of and required a lot of dedication are games like Aces Up, Addiction Solitaire, Bingo Luau, Dominoes, Golf Solitaire, Jungle Gin, Mahjong Garden, Perfect Pair Solitaire, Phlinx, Pop Fu, Squlchies, Suduko Puzzle Blast, Super Dominoes, Thousand Island Solitaire, Trivia Persuit, Wonderland Memories, First & World Class Solitaires, All 3 of the Word Whomps and quite a few others, I am in the 40s in about 10 more so I should be finishing up a total of 60 within the next few months. I have 493 Game Reward Badges earned of the 619 to earn in that so far and hope to complete the whole book someday and keep it up to date as they add new games and new ranks to older games.

  24. Welcome back Lura you have been missed!!! Congratulations on the new edition.

    I am ranked out in Beaker Creatures, Blooop, Dice City Roller, Everyone Wins Bingo, Hog Heaven Slots, Jigsaw Treasure Hunter, Jungle Gin, KenoPop, Lottso, Lottso! Express, Mahjong Safari Pictureka, and Pogo Bowl.

    Working on ranking out in the following games for this year: Qwerty, and Bingo Luau.

  25. Welcome Back and Congrats!
    I have ranked out on:
    Hog Heaven
    Keno Pop
    Mahjong Safari
    Spooky

  26. Welcome back and congrats on your new addition.

    I’ve ranked out of 29 and working on Addiction, Crazy Cakes, and Golf Solitaire. The games with 100 ranks is gonna take some time for sure.

  27. Hi Lura, welcome back!

    I’ve ranked out in Hog Heaven, Everybody Wins Bingo, Keno Pop!, and I guess you can count Spooky Slots (since there are only 10 ranks at the moment).
    Right now I’m working on Monopoly Slots, and then probably the board version of it.

  28. Welcome back, my dear, we sure have missed ya. Just know that the little one is keeping you busy, but thanks for sharing time with us !!!
    So happy to see you, wasnt expecting you till february..

    Lets see, the list is long as I am a badge fan or fanatic, and include: HH, TP, spooky slots, payday free cell, world class soli, panda pai gow poker, mahjong safari, mahjong garden, keno pop, dice city roller, lottso deluxe, jigsaw treasure, scrabble, pictureka, rainy day spider soli, and EV! bingo (cept for the wilds).

    Still keeping jigsaw detective, crossword cove, tp, and word search daily up-to-date

    Two games I am working on steadily to rank out are Blooop, using the wonderful grid featured here on BH (kudos) and Qwerty struggling for that last badge…

    I also want to say ty to all the friends and partners who have helped in my progress and enjoyment, and i found many of them thru BH, so Lura, ty for your site and all you do !!!

  29. Welcome back and congrats on the new baby
    I’ve ranked out of hog heaven, keno pop, wonderland memories and harvest mania

  30. Welcome back!!!

    I have ranked out 45 games and getting close to a few others. and like alot of people wish they would add more ranks to the old games.

    Keep up the good work on here if the baby lets you, its a fantastic site, and very much appreciated.

  31. i am ranked out in almost all games all casino except blkj carnival tripeaks all sol games except aces up not too many games left i am working on canasta and perfect pair right now i wish they come out with new games for us old folks not these kid games and disappointed peaks puck is our challenge guess first time in 10 yrs i will miss a chall
    i have over 1490 badges

  32. I have ranked out in ALL games except the ones that cannot be ranked out in yet for total badges of 2132, such as wordsearch daily, and crossword cove, just finished mono rank 100 soon as they fixed it.
    if any needs any tips of fastest way to rank on mono jusy ask.

  34. Yeah! I was having serious withdrawal without all you guys to talk to! LOL

    Lura, so glad our fearless leader is back!

    Ive ranked out in Luau only, but am working mostly on Penguin Blocks and Diner Dash. (OK, Ive also got Spooky to 10.) Im not good at sticking to one game for a long time.

  35. it will be faster on setup if you have someone to help get game started with bots, use these settings, (Cusom) ( turn timer slow), as it gives you more time to make deals, #times in jail =1,check ( players can collect rent in jail) (need 4 houses to build), (houses built evenly), (each player starts with =5) (time limit =none) (turn limit =none) (player gives to one they owe) (game net worth = none) (bankruptcy limit = 3) (allow computer players to fill empty seats)
    then start game, if any the bots get a mono on start, then open a table till you get advantage or a mono to start, buy 1 prop in any group you do not have, that way they cannot get a mono, have you a partner to sell you all props in all 3 seats, then they can leave, bankrupt 2 of the bots, then mortgage all your props, and fly around the board as fast as you click on your turn. thats the fastest way of compiling times pass GO.
    When your want to finish, put hotels on all props and bankrupt the bot.

  36. Welcome Back and Congrats on the baby!!!I normally only lurk on here but i have to say I have missed you and your website immensely.Ive only been Club since April 09 but ive already ranked out in EWB,Kenopop and Monopoly(before the new ranks were added and im already rank 55).I have 800 pigs left to pop in Hog Heaven Slots to rank out and Im seriously procrastinating about it.

  38. Rock #32…..PLEASE how do ya rank out in monopoly fast??? Ive played since they fixed it and am at 63 now…..I keep going to jail! I have ranked out in just about all games except Monopoly Here and Now, Fortune Bingo, and Battle Phlinx…..need a few badges in Omaha poker and Texas Hold Em. I just ranked out in Pinochle except for rating badges. If anyone out there is interested in maybe double browsing in pinochle for rating badges please let me know. I would LOVE to do that with someone. My pogo messages are blocked to only people on my list so if you want email me please at same name@ aol.com. Welcome back and congrats on the little fellow!

  40. welcome back and congratulations on the new baby they are wonderful to have so I had 5 but i have ranked out in hog heaven slots and spooky slots but am close to finishing boggle, and bowling.

  41. Welcome Back, I remember those days Lura (our son is a senior in high school now so its been a while)! Ive ranked out in Harvest Mania, Dice City, Pinochle, Haunted, Hog Heaven, Keno Pop, Addiction, Poppa Zoppa, Penguin Blocks, World Class, Rainy Day, Boggle (I still need the jp spins and flips badges), Stellar, Thousand Island (I still need one item though and dont have the chest badge yet so am still working on this), and Texas Hold Em (I still dont have the Royal Flush or 4 Aces badges). Im almost done in Crazy Cakes, and had finished a few games that they then added additional ranks too, so am not sure which game(s) will come next but its not like there arent any games to choose from!

  42. Welcome Back! Its definitely been a Different Type of Experience here on Pogo without Ya!
    Congratulations on the new baby!!

    So far Ive only ranked out in Spooky Slots….but I have plans to Rank out in Hog heaven Slots, Keno Pop, and Crossword Cove This year.

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Ro
    PS: The ‘Please read!’ seems contradictory or is it just me?? : )

    • Thanks for the congratulations, everyone. 🙂

      Wow, a lot of you guys have ranked out on a lot of games! I’m always surprised to see people’s lists — maybe because mine is so short! I’ve ranked out in Thousand Island Solitaire, Spooky Slots, KenoPop and Hog Heaven Slots. I’m close on a few others, but I’m not feeling terribly motivated right now. Like Dally, I too hope I can finish Tri-Peaks before I die!

      Ro: yeah, it’s contradictory but only on the weekend open threads. When there are other types of posts open for comments, it makes a lot more sense (and saves me a lot more work, trust me). Anyway, I don’t have a way to suppress it for a certain type of thread, so it’ll stay for now. 🙂

  52. I have ranked out in Jungle Jin, Keno Pop, Hog Heaven Slots, and Spooky Slots. I am also up to date with Trivial Pursuit, Crossword Cove, and Word Search Daily. I think that maybe I play too much……NOT!

    Congrats on the new baby!

    Have a great weekend!

  53. So glad to see you back, Lura! I missed seeing these quirky, random updates from you.

    As for the topic, I’m ranked out in Spooky Slots, Boggle Bash, Hog Heaven Slots, Payday Freecell, and Keno Pop. I’m *almost* done with Dice City Rollers and Trivial Pursuit.

  54. WooHooo Welcome Back Lura – and congrats on the lil one! So nice to check in here today and see familiar faces once again. Looking forward to stopping by to read the in the Weekend Open Threads again. Personally, Im not real big into getting the rankings. Im more into badges. But along the path to badges, Ive ranked out in World Class, Keno Pop and Hog Heaven and close in a couple others. Have a great weekend all and so good to see everyone again.

  55. Welcome back {{{{{{Lura}}}}}}} and congrats to you and your family!! {{{{{{Whole Luras family}}}}}}} I cannot tell you how much you have just made my day, seeing this here. It was such a nice surprise – like getting a little giftie. 🙂

    Hiya everyone – I have missed you and your great comments, too! To those to whom I promised help, I am still around (though I have been a lil MIA on Pogo the last few weeks), so feel free to write when you want help working on your badges.

    I have ranked out on Pogo Bowl, Dice City Roller, KenoPop (and I agree with someone up there ^^^ still waiting for the extra ranks they promised back when IT first came out), Word Jong and Blooop. I am verrrrrrrrry close in Hog Heaven – to the point that I dont know why I dont just go sit there and finish. lol

    More later everyone – happy weekend from here in very very cold Jersey!

    ~Shel

  65. If anyone wants to see the mono setup I talked about above go to(custom) (Safari hat) (table 7) and see where i set them up for them and watch it.

  66. Just wanted to say Welcome Back and that youve been missed.
    Congratulations to you and your family on your new little addition.
    Pure joy and love a baby can bring to you. After you get a schedule going
    your sleep schedule will improve…
    Anyway, good to see you back…

  67. Welcome back Lura! Its great to see everybody back. I have ranked out in Hog Heaven and Keno Pop, also very close on alot of others. Does anyone know any secret to get the Jigsaw Detective badge that asks to do a puzzle on medium in 8 minutes? I cant get the border done in 8 mins..lol. Any help would be appreciated. Have a great weekend all!

  69. Welcome back!!

    Yes, i have ranked out in spooky slots, very close to ranking on hog heaven and keno pop.

  70. ****Welcome Back Lura****** Congrats on the new lil one 🙂 Sure Did Miss ya!! Glad 2 have ya back also :-)….. I have ranked out in Mahjong Safari, World Class Solitaire, Hog Heavens Slots, Beaker Creatures, Dice City Rollers, Bing Luau, Everyone Wins Bingo (Including The Passing Badge), Spooky Slots, Wonderland Memories, Trivia Pursuit, Keno Pop, and Sweet Tooth 2… Once Again Welcome Back!!!

  71. I guess I am the only newbie here! I have not ranked out in anything. The highest one I have is in Turbo21 and that is at 42. I just recently found you and your website – I loved it. . .and then you were gone! Glad to have you back!

  72. Wow people have ranked out in a lot of games. I dont really play a game just to ran myself. Well, I did for Word Riot delux… So ive ranked out in Keno Pop, Beaker Creatures, Word Riot delux and Hog Heaven Slots. Im close in a few, but not too concerned with getting to that 50!

  74. Welcome back Lura and congratulations on the new baby!

    Ive ranked out in 26 games on Pogo: Aces Up, Ali Baba Slots, Battle Phlinx, Beakers Creatures, Bingo Luau, Blackjack Carnival, Blooop, Boardwalk Seaball, Boggle Bash (except Panic Flips), Casino Island Blackjack, Diner Dash, Hog Heaven Slots, Keno Pop, Lottso Deluxe, Operation Mania, Pictureka, Pogo Addiction Solitaire, Poppit, Sock Hop Slots, Spooky Slots, Tri Peaks 2 Deluxe, Trivial Pursuit, Way to Go Bowling, Wonderland Memories, Word Riot, Word Whomp Underground.

    Good luck to all hoping to rank out in 2010. I want to do 26 more!

  75. I have ranked out in Hog Heaven Slots and Keno Pop. I play a lot of different games so dont reach ranks very fast.

  76. Games Ive ranked out of include: Keno Pop, Hog Heaven Slots, Spooky Slots, Thousand Island Solitaire, and Trivial Pursuit Daily.

    Im currently working on Jigsaw Detective. While it doesnt have ranks, in the usual sense – it does have lots of badges. Ive also been working a little on Jigsaw Treasure Hunter.

    Now, I have a couple questions for you guys.

    On the topic of Jigsaw Detective, I know Case 28 features Tex Carter. Does anyone know if any of the other cases feature Pogo mascots. Itd be nice, for instance, if there was a case involving Spike the Cactus.

    Also, between Everyone Wins Bingo and Bingo Luau, it one takes the quickest to rank out of? I know you know need to rank out of both to unlock the double bonus feature in the former. I would like to try to rank out of Bingo Luau first, if at all possible.

    Anyway, Lura, congratulations on the baby – and Im happy that all is going well.

  78. For Mrs. Mike Brown #68 – pick a puzzle that is easy for you to complete and just keep doing that puzzle until you can do it quickly. Sorry, but thats the best I can suggest with Jigsaw Detective.

    Suz

  79. Welcome back Lura, glad everything is going smoothly.. and congrats!

    Ive ranked out in Jungle Gin, Word Whomp Whackdown, Hog Heaven Slots, Scrabble, Mahjong Safari and Keno Pop

  80. Welcome back Lura.

    Lets see, I also have a very short ranked out list: World Class Solitaire and EWB. Working on the mushroom badge in EWB and trying to re-rank out in Monopoly.

    Of the rest, Im probably closest in Stellar Sweeper, but I havent played that for a while.

    Im working on Thousand Island Solitare, Addiction, Yahtzee, and Battleship the most … I play many other games off and on though.

    Serena: Bingo Luau in a sharing room gives you .75 jackpot spins per game; so it would take 4000 games to rank out.

    EWB gives me about 18-20 bingos per game, so it only takes about 1000 games to reach rank 50. My stats indicate I will hit the mushroom badge between games 2600-2700.

    Though Bingo Luau can be played very passively – just enter a sharing room, let them call all the numbers, and repeat once a new game starts. You dont need to call any bingos to get credit for numbers marked there.

  81. Congrats, Lura, on the new addition! It is nice to see so many familiar names back in the posts.

    Ive only ranked out in the rank-out-lite (liked the reference so much Im stealing it! 🙂 ) Spooky Slots and Beaker Creatures. Beaker Creatures went so fast it seems like Ive spent more time getting the first rank badge in Tri-Peaks than in ranking out in Beaker Creatures. Im getting close in Keno Pop, Hog Heaven and Thousand Island. Keno Pop and Hog Heaven are just coming along with working on badge challenges. Thousand Island is more of a conscious effort. I am humbled by all of you who have so many rank outs.

    Thanks Lura, for providing this site for us all to come to. I had missed reading the weekend threads!

  82. Wb. Enjoy the baby, they grow up way too fast.
    These are the games I have ranked out in
    Pan Pai Gow Pkr, Hog Heaven Slots, Casino Isl BlkJak,
    KenoPop, Poppit, Thous Isl Sol, Sweet Tooth 2, Every1 wins bingo
    Mahj Saf, World Cl Sol, Trivial Pursuit, Golf Sol, Pinochle, Tri-Peaks Sol, Poppa Zoppa, Scrabble, Word Whomp, Dice City roller, Keno Pop,
    Lottso, Monopoly slots, Beaker Creat, Yahtzee, Boggle Bash
    Squelchies.

  83. I have ranked out in: Aces Up, Ali Baba Slots, Beaker Creatures, Bingo Luau, Bloop, Casino Island Blackjack, Crazy Cakes, Dice City Roller, First Class Solitare, Golf Solitare, Hangman Hijinks, Harvest Mania, Hog Heaven Slots, Jigsaw Treasure Hunter, Keno Pop, Lottso Deluxe, Mahjong Garden, Nahjong Safari, Makeover Madenss, Mini Golf Madness, Monopoly Slots, Operation Mania, Panda Pai Gow Poker, Payday Freecell, Pictureka, Pogo Addiction Solitare, Pop Fu, Poppit, Quick Quack, Rainy Day Spider, Sock Hop Slots, Spades, Squelchies, Stackem, Stellar Sweeper, Suodoku, Sweet Tooth 2, Thousand Island, Tri-Peaks Deluxe, Tri-Peaks Solitare, Trival Pursuit, Tumble Bees, Turbo 21, Way to Go Bowling, Wonderland Memories, Word Craft, Word Jong, Word Whomp, Word Whomp Underground, Word Whomp Wackdown, World Class Solitare, and Word Riot Deluce.

  85. Thank you Moms…I will try that. I wonder sometimes why they make some badges almost impossible to complete. Have a great weekend!

  86. To Mrs. Mike Brown (post 68)
    Try to pick a puzzle you think is easy to solve, the ones with bridges are usually easy because they have clear layers of colors (water, bridge, sky) and play it a few times so you remember the pieces (color or any special mark for exemple) and where they go. Now, for the frame, notice that every time you pick that same puzzle, pieces are exactly on the same place so try to remember where each one is, that will save you some minutes. Once you know the puzzle, try to move your mouse fast enough as to win some seconds but at a speed that alows you to make the pieces fit on first attempt. Doing this I finish a puzzle on medium in less than 3 minutes and a whole case in 2 1/2 hours. GL

  87. Hi,
    I have ranked out in spades but I feel Pogo should add another 50 ranks to spades. I have asked a few friends of mine to also send in a
    request to Pogo to increase the ranks. You would be surprised to see how many people would love to see more ranks in spades.

    Thanks Carl9997

  94. Welcome back Lura. You were missed. Congratulations on that young man. When you are holding him, that is as close to heaven as you can get on this earth. I might add remember those feelings as 15 years from now you will want to recapture that feeling when you want to kill him. LOL LOL 2 sons 7 grandsons and now a great … well I have been blessed.

    I have finished many of the games.

    Now… 2 questions.
    1. In Monopoly, does anyone else have a problem with it just stalling.
    One of the characters will just start jumping up and down and game
    will not continue until one of us goes out. Now this is when 2 people are playing. I was so excited for the addition of the ranks but really getting aggravated now when playing.
    2. Does anyone have any good hints on playing that Pucks Peak ? I am terrible at this game.

    Thanks everyone for all your help. You are a blessing.

    MJ

  111. For Alan # 106 – Check out Pogo News…there is an entire article on getting Puck’s Peak to work for next week’s badge.

    Suz

  112. First Class Solitare, Steller Sweeper, Boggle Bash, ..I would have to look through my pogo stuff to find out if I have ranked out on anything else, but I don’t want to. 🙂 Have Fun Playing!

  113. So great to see you back and congrats on the wonderful blessing to your family.

    I’ve ranked out in Hog Heaven, Ali Baba, TP Keno Pop and close to a few more. Wouldn’t it be great if Pogo gave you a big Bonus of Tokens for ranking out. It always seems kind of a let down to me.

    Happy Weekend All……….

  114. im ranked out in quite a few game, like scrabble, keno pop, working on bloop (rank 43) and yahtzee (rank 32) but my question is can you let us know what games they will be adding more ranks to???

  115. To knitwoman and Mac users – Actually, I found out that many of Pogo’s games are available from the manufacturers websites for MacOSX. However if the game links back to Pogo for Tokens or Mini items, then you’ll only find the “Pogo” version on Pogo for Windows OS, but the others you can buy the games directly from their sites. (Actually, isn’t Word Riot the only one that links now that Pogo stopped providing Diner Dash: Family Style?) Anyways, it is the same price unless Pogo is running a sale. I’ve got Plants vs Zombies, as advertised on Pogo, but for my Mac from its manufacturer’s site and it is hysterical!

    My advice is if you see a game on the downloads you like, scan for the company that owns it (like Playfirst or Popcap) and use an internet search to find the company’s website. Hope this helps the Mac crowd!

  118. I forgot about ranking out in Word Riot Deluxe (I did it for my mom too, so I actually ranked out twice lol), Tri-Peaks 2, and The Poppit Show. Which makes 18 with my previous list unless I forgot about a couple of others. So many games out there its hard to keep track!

  119. Welcome back Lura and congratulations.

    I have ranked out in Aces Up, Beaker Creatures, Boggle Bash, Crazy Cakes, Dice City Roller, Dominoes, Hog Heaven Slots, Jigsaw Treasure Hunter, Jungler Gine, KenoPop, Mahjong Garden and Safari, Squelchies, Stack em, Sweet Tooth 2, Trivial Pursuit, Word Whomp and Whackdown.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  120. Welcome Back Lura
    Topped out on: Scrabble, Hog Heaven Slots (twice), Keno Pop, and TP.
    Wish Pogo would add additional ranks for TP

  121. Welcome back Lura and congratulations on the new baby!
    I have ranked out in Keno Pop, Poppa Zoppa, Word Whomp, Spades, and a couple others that I cant recall right now.
    Have a Great Weekend All……

  122. I have ranked out in World Class Solitare, Marjong Garden, Canasta, Poppit, Hog Heaven, Dice City Roller, Pogo Addiction, Keno Pop, Tri-Peaks, Trival Prusuit, Word Search, Jigsaw Dect., on the last three I do them every day and the jigsaw every month as a new one comes up.

  125. Hi, welcome back and congratulations on the birth of your baby. I have ranked out in Dice City Roller, Golf Solitaire, Hog Heaven Slots, Keno Pop, Spooky slots, Stellar Sweeper, and Tri-peaks Solitaire. I am in the 40’s in several other games.

  126. Wow. Congratulations to all of you who have put so much work into ranking out. I’ve been with Pogo for about 3 years, give or take, and I haven’t completed any of them (except Spooky Slots, but does that count?). But it’s fantastic and definitely an accomplishment to have all those games complete.

    With these lists, one thing I’m reminded of…it seems like when Pogo made the ranks, some of these games take forever, and others are so quick. It seems like there should be less of a spread between the amount of time it takes one game and another. But then again, this is Pogo we’re talking about!

    Congrats everyone and congrats, Lura! Babies are a blessing, even though sleep is at a premium! Don’t blink-before you know it, your little one will be walking, talking, and soon enough, driving and…dating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

  127. Congrats on the new baby and welcome back
    I have rank out on hog heaven keno pop dice city world class spooky slots. I have also rank out in Lottso deluxe Word Riot Pictureurka

  129. Hi Lura ~ so great to have you back. Enjoy that little bundle. Congrats
    I haven’t ranked out on many of the games. But enjoy playing them.

  130. Welcome back Lura and congratulations on the new baby.

    You have certainly been missed for all the information you give us regarding new games and badges coming up and free token offers.
    I love your website and all the wonderful people who give hints and tips to other players as well as their offers of help.
    Now I have my daily “go to” back again!!

  131. Hi again Lura and everyone,

    I was so excited to see that you are back I forgot to list the games I am ranked out in.

    Mahjong Garden, Mahjong Safari, Keno Pop, Spooky Slots and Everyone Wins Bingo (including the passing badge).

  132. Welcome back, I have ranked out on quite a bit of them, Trivial, Hogs, Keno Pop, yachtze, gin, everyone wins bingo, treasure hunter, mahjong safari, mahjong garden, world class solitaire. I think theres a few more but I cant remember right now which ones they are.

  133. Hi Lura,

    Welcome back and congrats on the birth of your baby-boy.
    Ive ranked out in 7 games and want to thank you for your updates everyday of Trivial Persuit & Crossword Cove! Sometimes its difficult for us in The Netherlands to understand and answer al the questions without help. So thanks! ♥

    Greetings, MrsPOLLIFAX1

  134. welcome back lura,and all the best for you and your baby

    i have ranked out on all games. just need the last 4 monopoly badges and word search daily

    good luck to all of you on finishing your games

  135. I’ve ranked out in the easiest ones: KenoPop, Hog Heaven, Spooky Slots. I’m always caught up in Word Search Daily as well.

    For the longest time, I didn’t care about ranking and basically ranked out in those three games by accident. More recently, I’ve been focusing on Jungle Gin (rank 34), Stellar Sweeper (13, but it only has 24 ranks), and Everyone Wins Bingo (38).

  136. WB Lura, you were missed!!! Congrats on the new addition to your family and hope everyone is doing well.

    I’ve only completed Hog Heaven, Keno Pop and Spooky Slots. Am getting close on Trivial Pursuit (2 more ranks) and working on others, but will be awhile before I rank out on them.

    Great to see everyone again.

  139. Welcome back Lura! Good luck with the new addition!

    I’ve only ranked out in Boggle Bash and Spooky Slots, but I’ve only been on Pogo since late August. I’m at rank 40 for Hog Heaven Slots, but haven’t played it in a while. Also close to rank 40 for Everyone Wins Bingo, over 50% for Keno Pop and and close to 50% for Bingo Luau and Stellar Sweeper.

    Good luck, everyone!

  140. I was curious, those that have ranked out in Golf Solitaire, have you earned the Flawless Victory Badge? I’ve tried and tried to get this and come up short on one hole several times lol, it is driving me nuttie, and I reached Rank 40 of 40 a couple months ago… ahhhh and I want to get that badge hahahah.. Also the Magic Mushroom in Everybody Wins Bingo is tough, I only have about 8,000 Wild Cones passed of the 25,000 for it and I’ve completed the Rank 50 a long time ago, that one is going to take a very long time. Two more extremely hard bonus badges are the 5,000 game points needed for the Jigsaw Treasure Hunter, I am at 3,000 after completing rank 50, and that Big Rollers Badge from Monopoly for the three double sixes in one turn, I get two in a row but can’t get the 3rd, I am at Rank 50 at that but now it has 100 ranks. Just wonder if anyone has earned any of these 4 very tough badges.

  141. I have completed all but 7 or 8, but am working on them now, since I have
    nothing else to play. Puck’s Peak was the easiest……it took only about
    2 weeks, (after getting the 1st badge), to finish.

  142. Long time reader, first time poster.

    I’ve ranked out in Keno Pop…and I think that’s it? I’ve got to be somewhat close in some other games, I think.

  143. I’ve ranked out in Hog Heaven, Monopoly slots, Mahjong safari, everyone wins bingo, and Keno. I’ve had so much fun playing in pogo it’s so relaxing.

  144. I have ranked out in quite a few of the games.

    Count (#141), I did get the Flawless Victory Badge.
    I probably won’t even try for the other three.

    Does anyone know if there are more course badges
    due for Mini Golf Madness?

  145. #141 – Count…I got the Flawless badge when I didn’t know about it LOL…I guess it means to play without the intent of getting it – as if that could happen….enjoy weekend all
    Lura – enjoy that baby…my grandaughter just turned 1 & it is sooo special
    Ro

  146. Hi all. Welcome back Lura and Congrats on your new baby! I’m ranked out in Everyone Wins Bingo and Spooky Slots. When will we be able to post our tips for the weekly challenges again?

    • Cyrabi: I’ll be opening comments on weekly challenge posts (and the other posts that I usually open for hints/tips/etc) again starting next week. I wanted to wait until after I reinstated the weekend open threads just so people could first have a proper place to ask the burning questions and leave comments that have been waiting for the past few weeks.

  148. For Count # 141 – I have the badge in EWB for passing 25,000 wilds and the badge in Monopoly for rolling 3 double sixes. The badge in EWB took a really long time. The one in Monopoly is just luck as Im only rank 17 in that game.

    Suz

  149. Any tips on how to get the Majong Safari badge for this week? I am not sure what the 5X, 10X, etc is. This is the first time I have even played this game. Thanks everyone!!

  151. Nesse #87
    Thank you so much for the detailed advice on the puzzle. Very much appreciated!!

  153. ratpeople- you have to sit there and look at the board. see 5 matches you can make fairly fast. Then make the matches. If you do 5 matches in a row and quickly, you get the 5X combo. For every 5X you get credit for 1 of 30. The 10X for double is just to show you that if you make a 10 match, you wont lose out of credit. Dont take time between matches. It will come up nice combo and that wont be the 5 you need.

    Im ranked out in
    Kenopop
    trivial pursuit
    stellar sweeper
    sweet tooth

    Totally caught up in all puzzles for Jigsaw detective.

    since I dont play only one game at a time (nor play a lot through out the day), it will be quite some time before I rank out in many more games.

  154. I have ranked out in several games so far including: Boardwalk Seaball, Boggle, Crazy Cakes, Hog Heaven Slots, Keno Pop, Mahjong Garden, Mahjong Safari, Phlinx, Rainy Day Solitaire, Spooky Slots, Word Jong, World Class Solitaire. Am getting very close in word whonp whackdown as well.

  155. Hi wb!!!

    I have ranked out in….Word riot, World class sol, Hog heaven slots,Tp,and spooky slots…I am rank 49 in keno pop….

  156. for ratpeople (post # 152)…for the mahjong safari badge, the 5X combo refers to getting 5 matches in QUICK succession. My advice would be to play on the easy level and keep hitting new game until you get an easy layout…I have found the easier layouts are the ones with simple shapes or straight lines (like bricks, thick and thin, JA) and the harder layouts are the ones with lots of jagged lines (like stripes, man and dog). Once you get the hang of the game it should not take you too long to get this badge. Good Luck!

  157. Congrats and welcome back.

    I have joined Pogo almost a year now and have ranked out KenoPop, Everyone Wins, Hog Heaven, Monopoly slot, Poppit, World Class, Spooky slot, Crosword Cover, Trivial Pursuit, Dice City Roller, Spades, Stellar Sweeper. Working on finishing now Mahjong Safari, Pogo Addiction, Payday Freecell, Penguin Blocks, Jigsaw Detective and Treasure Hunter, Bingo Luau, Tumble bees, Golf Solitaire and Jungle gin. All these games are at rank 30 or more.

  158. For Jane #95 – Pucks Peak question.

    Once you complete the Mountain, you can go back and play it over and over again. You still rank up and get the different helper Pucks. Good luck!

  159. Re: Rock Post #105

    Sorry I did not see your post in time to come to that table. You were very kind. Now another question… why do we have to do the check in Speedy Dialogue. Again, thanks for your kindness.

  160. Hi Lura and all, welcome back and I add my congrats too. I am afraid i find I am getting addicted to ranking out have now managed in just over 25 games and am keeping going next one Boggle Bash. Just wondering what people thought was the hardest or most time consuming game to rank out on? Perhaps a topic for another thread but have just bought Poppit Show – 2 millions prizes will take for ever.

    Cheers all

  161. Im ranked out in – Ali Baba Slots, Bingo Luau, Everyone One Wins Bingo, First Class Solitaire, Hog Heaven Slots, Keno Pop, Poppit, Sock Hop Slots, Trivial Pursuit 20, Word Craft, Word Whomp, Word Whomp Whackdown, and World Class Solitaire. I am Rank 49 in Mah Hong Gardenm and Mah Jong Safari, Rank 48 in Pogo Bowl, Rank 40 in Crossword Cove, and 5 other games in the 30s. Keeps me busy 😀

  162. On Monopoly to rank out this is a lot better than afore mentioned. Use DOUBLE BROWSER(I use IE8 FireFox)–Set CUSTOM table–No set on Start with these rules, Timer FAST, Free Parking 5M, check fines and taxes to free parking, Jail time-1, check players can collect, 4 houses to build , check build evenly, check DOUBLE cash for landing on GO, uncheck both morgages, Each player starts with NONE, Total game time-NONE, Game turn limit-NONE, when player goes bankrupt–properties to who they owe(this will never apply), Game net worth-NONE, Bankruptcys-any number, UNCHECK allow computer players to fill seats, UNCHECK computer players play advance, check allow players to fill computer seats, check allow players to watch, MAKE TABLE PRIVATE. With the double browser you can play all day this way and with only 2 players you pass go alot more often. I morgage all properties and buy all properties from my other person. I keep all properties mortgaged so other player will not go bankrupt. Once you have all properties, close other browser and play the computer. When you are ready to end the game, unmortgage everything, put hotels on everything and then bankrupt the other player. GL, you will rank out FAST this way.

  163. My ranked-out games are Trivial Pursuit (recently reset my stats so I can do it again – love the game), Dice City Roller, Keno Pop, Spooky Slots, and Boggle Bash.

  164. I have ranked out in Hog Heaven Slots twice and Texas Hold Em Poker 3x….I am close to ranking out in Kenopop. I am rank 48 in that game.

  165. CountDracula82 (#141) Yes, I did get the flawless badge.

    How? I was on the phone! lol Didnt even know you could win that one — I think not trying is the key, best of luck.

  166. OMG!!! I am so glad you are back Lura !!!! Congrats on the new baby!! Enjoy him now before he starts talking LOL
    I have ranked out in Mahjong Safari; Kenopop and Trivial Pursuit (thanks to all of your hard work LOL ) I just ranked out in them in Nov and Dec so now I am addicted to ranking out Just what I needed… another addiction ROFL Will probably rank out in Crossword Cove soon and a few other but I am in no hurry LOL
    I wanted so bad to talk about Pucks Peak when it first came out because of loading issues but FINALLY this week I figured it out thanks to the pogo news I would just like to complain for a second that they could have told all of us before it was to their advantage (i.e. the mm badge coming out tonight) would have liked to have practiced it a little before the badge came out LOL ok I am off my soapbox (and off to practice) LOL
    Have a great weekend all (what is left of it) and BTW
    GOOOOOOOO COLTS !!!!!!!!

  175. Lura, Just one question for ya–Do you feel the Love???
    You have so very many Loyal Followers here.
    Count me in !!! Pat

  176. Welcome back and congrats on your little one! I missed this! I have ranked out on just a few. But I do have a couple of the burning questions. Did they quit giving away 6000 tokens on Bingo Luau every Thursday and did UK side quit having the game a month for 5000 tokens?
    I am really glad you are back!

  177. Hi Everyone!!

    Happy Sunday and heres to the ending of our FIRST Weekend Thread in a long time…Ive enjoyed this SO much!! Couldnt help but read EVERY thread, lol

    Getting over my shock and pleasure at seeing Lura back, and after considerable thought, yep, me thinking, lol

    Not near as many as the rest of you!! WTG Everyone!!

    Cant remember when Ive enjoyed a Weekend Thread more than this one. Like so many of you have said….its been so lonely here without our lovely host, Lura. Were so thankful, grateful, and thrilled to have you back. Healthy and happy, with a baby to boot!! lol Hope youll share some baby stories with us too. Think about it? We will have much in common, I promise.

    Take care everyone…have a great week!

    (((Hugs to ALL)))

    Kat F.

    P.S. Did anyone ever find the answer to #57 Reds question about the free gems Pogo gave but we couldnt access? I either missed it or no one has the answer? Please let me know if you know what thats about? Thanks!

    KENO POP

    LOTTSO EXPRESS
    WORLD CLASS SOLITAIRE

    Close on quite a few more (only 1 more badge needed)…Phlinx, Jungle Gin, Rainy Day, Makeover Madness, Crossword Cove, Operation Mania, Pictureka Museum Mayhem, Poppit, Thousand Island..and up to date in Word Search……Thanks for all you do Lura…this is a WONDERFUL site!!

  179. Games I have ranked out on pogo:

    Bingo Luau, Dice City Roller, Harvest Mania, Hog Heaven Slots, Keno Pop, Lottso Deluxe, Rainy Day Spider Solitaire, Stellar Sweeper, Word Craft, and World Class Solitaire. There is a bunch more I need to finish off 🙂

  180. Im back again, just finished reading thru the rest of the 178 postings (so far! – woohoo!). Nice to see so many familiar faces and to read new old peeps alike. I need to add the rank-out-light badge to my list too – Spooky Slots. lol

    Also, I dont generally look to rank out unless I really really love the game AND I have a group of nice people, friends to play with. I love Pogo Bowling and we were all working to rank out together. All my friends ranked out before me but were still interested in playing until I completed it – and we met alot of very good new friends while doing it. Same with Keno Pop – it was so fun, and I ended up meeting some other people there who have stayed friends. Both games give time for chat, which is prolly another important clue to a game I like to play enough to rank out in. lollll Dice City Roller I just loved, and I try to get chat going wherever I am.

    That leads me to Steph #50 – Im with you, Pogo has been kind of lonely for me lately, too – maybe it was the holidays. My suggestion for a weekend open thread would be: Do you have a favorite room where there are friendly chatty people which you want to share with people here? Or a league where there are fun, friendly people with minimum of drama? I do know people may be leery to ruin a good thing by sharing it tho. (If it doesnt work for whatever reason, I understand Lura.) I just find that it is harder and harder to find a room where people actually talk and have some fun going on….kinda depressing.

    Pogo itself has kind of depressed me lately too: The taking away of the older TP puzzles with no warning was one thing. (They have their own msg system, their newsletter, the Pogo News page, etc – why cant they EVER give us advance notice on things like this???) Also, I missed out on the NYs special edition badge by **2 hours** and despite my pleas, they wouldnt help me out. (I know, it is available for awhile, but – why wasnt it available BEFORE NYs? I ended up out of gems, had to wait to be able to purchase them, then had a family issue which kept me gone off the computer for a while.) It is a silly thing, but I have all the Specials from the point where I joined and now Im just depressed I will never have that one. Right or wrong, it has kind of made me wonder why I buy anything……..and so maybe I wont be doing that anymore.

    Okay – enough downness – sorry! lol

    Count #141 – I got the Flawless badge and it is one I am very proud of (along with the perfect chain in Poppa Zoppa). I played the game ALOT and Im not sure it isnt much more than luck too. But, my suggestions would be: Play in the slowest rooms (if you arent already) so you have time to use the undo button as often as you need to. If I have a bunch of 7s to choose from, for instance, I look at them all to try to anticipate the best moves. And if you reached Rank 40 already, you probably know this – but you cant leave 1s or 11s unused even if you get more cards going another way.

    #143 – Vivienne – I cant believe Pucks Peak took you such a short time! Any tips? I havent played much (dont like it much), but it also just seems to take me a long time – any tips to rank up easier? I wouldnt mind at least getting the first game award badge. lol

    And, rock richard, thanks for all the Monopoly tips for ranking out. I doubt Ill ever want to take the time to rank out lol, but I know the tips will come in handy for any badges that come our way.

    Have a great week, everyone!

    Welcome back Lura and congratulations on your new baby!

  184. Good Question
    I have ranked out in about 26 games already
    and finished ranking out games then they added more and also working on them to rank out
    I have ranked out in
    boggle
    monopoly slots
    wonderland memories
    stackem
    lost temple poker
    jungle gin and many more

  186. For all of you that have ranked out in Monoply Slots is ther some trick to getting the dice which allows you to move around the board. I have put in endless hours and just cant seem to make any progress. An then when I get close to Go so many times I go to jail. 🙁 There must be something Im missing. Any help would be appreciated.

  187. For noremmy … i have ranked out of mono slots … the way i did it was by playing by myself … i found out that every 10-15 minutes i would get the dice, round the clock and sometimes at 5 minutes so usually i ended up with around 6 dices turns … at 1st u lose tokens but eventually u start gathering lots and lots of them … good luck

  188. Only advice to give in mono slots is they seem to come in 2s–so if ya get a spin, do NOT leave room, i 99% get a second set of dice within 5 minutes. If a 1/2 hour has passed, i decide if i should find another room. This done, seem to get dice again soon and always wait for that second shoe to fall…gl, it is very trying and dice are too rare for my tastes and lack of patience. I only try to get minimum of 1 rank a week, consider any further progress gravy. Makes me less stressed. The highest reuqirement is 5 GOes a week, and i can do that. In for the sprints, not the marathon.

  189. First, welcome back Lura and good luck and enjoy that little boy. It is good to be here lurking again.

    I have ranked out in Beacker Creatures, Boggle Bash (but I am missing a few badges), Hog Heaven, Quick Quack, Sweet Tooth, Tri Peaks which took forever and Trivial Pursuit. In the 40s in some of them.

    And thanks to you all for the wonderful tips.

  190. Hi Lura and welcome back. My question concerns pogo games not supporting IE 6 anymore. Does any1 know what this means? I tried downloading IE 8 and I couldnt even connect to the internet! 🙁 So does it mean that I cant play pogo games using IE 6 anymore? Helpppp

  191. #143………I played in a room where the players were extremely friendly
    (very important) and didnt indulge in whining or idle chatter.

    All you need to do is balane the figures, and stay with the 1st Peak. My choice of man was the Black Bubble-head……gave me the chance to change
    my blocks, if I didnt like them.

    You can check out the dates on my Pucks badges, in my profile. I was not the fastest player in the room. Many finished days before I did.

  193. Rachel (post 193)
    I had that same problem. Some say to change to Firefox but I am so used to IE. So what I did is download IE 7 and its working good.

  194. Ive ranked out in 13 games so far :World Class Solitaire/Hog Heaven/Dice City Rollers/Everyone Wins Bingo/First Class Solitaire/Jigsaw Treasure Hunter/Keno Pop/Mahjong Garden/Mahjong Garden Deluxe/Mahjong Safari/Poppit/Stellar Sweeper/ and Sweet Tooth II. Im close to finishing 3 others.

  195. You may be tired of hearing it, Lura, but you were truly missed around here. All of us hope for the best for you and the little one.

    To the topic at hand, I’ve been a Pogo-ite for a little over a year and have ranked out on about 10 games. My favorite level 50 badge is the one for Word Jong. The most tedious (so far) was the climb from rank 49 to 50 on Keno Pop!.

    After that, I backed off on trying to rank out on games. Of course, I reserve the right to become hopelessly addicted to something else, and I think I hear Aces Up calling me right now…

    All the best.

    • Thanks again to everyone for the warm congratulations and welcome-back wishes! I missed you guys too — I commented several times that it just felt so different around here for the past few weeks, like nobody was visiting the site anymore when the comments were closed (even though the logs showed otherwise). I’m so happy to be back and so happy you all are still here too! (And yes Pat, I most definitely feel the love. <3)

      Let's see if I can wrap up some of the unanswered questions from this weekend:

      For everyone looking for tips on ranking out in Monopoly Slots, I think it's just a matter of being patient and tenacious. Also #190 and #191 seem like good tips but I haven't tried them out yet. I certainly will, though! Don't forget you can use your space bar to spin the reels, so if you've got a laptop, fire it up while you're watching tv!

      Red (#57): I assume you're talking about the 20 free gems you got when you created your Club Pogo account? If you're having trouble spending gems, those 20 or any others, contact Pogo's support through the Help link at the top of any page on Pogo.

      And along the same lines, Kat (#180): I think she's just talking about the bonus gems everyone gets now when their account becomes a Club Pogo/paid account.

      Jillian (#179): I have received a lot of email from people asking what happened to the Bingo Luau Bingo Night UK promo! The first week it went missing (the second week in December, right before I had the baby, if I recall correctly), I contacted the UK editor to ask what happened and didn't get a response. Since then I heard it was back once or twice in December but it hasn't been active since. I've got a calendar reminder set up to check each week and I'll make a post as soon as I see it again, if ever. It's still listed on the UK event calendar for every Thursday, so I'm not sure why they aren't happening anymore.

      Sheljin (#183): I like the idea of having a few rooms in different games where people can get together to socialize and play together -- and I've considered doing socials in the past -- but I haven't done it due to time constraints (and things certainly aren't getting better on that front, oh mah gawdddddd today I realized I spend 9+ hours each day feeding the baby). If you'd like to propose a date/time/room, I'll put it out there for everyone to see; just contact me via email and we'll coordinate. Another alternative is to pick a room and call it ours and let people come and go as they want. The problem with that is pretty much every named room already has 'regulars' and I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes. I'm sure we can work something out tho.

      vegasbabu (#185): Pogo ran into technical difficulties implementing the mystery movers in Monopoly. They have not put them in yet and it doesn't look like they ever will. The non-mystery movers (the ones greyed out on your piece-chooser screen) become available as you rank up in the game.

      Rachel (#193): when Pogo says they don't support IE6, it doesn't mean that the games won't run. It just means that if you run into a problem, they won't troubleshoot it with you until you have replicated the problem on a browser they support (like Firefox).

      I think that's all of the questions that went unanswered up until now, but if your question was overlooked use the search box on the right sidebar to search for your topic. We've had so many of these weekend open threads in the past I'm sure you'll be able to find the answer you need. If not, come back next weekend. 🙂

      Thanks for participating in another awesome weekend open thread. It certainly feels like we picked up right where we left off in December! Yay! Comments will be open on this week's weekly challenge post as well as the February Mix-n-Match post (which I'll have up tomorrow morning, or whenever they're released), so come back and share your hints and tips for the new badges.
