  1. Hm, there are no temp rooms set up for Phlinx. Maybe they decided not to go with the SE after all. We’ll see! Well there’s the SE… Get ready for FULL ROOMS! Don’t forget you can play in free rooms too.

    At least the other two have the rooms set up. Looks like there are already some folks in the 50030 rooms, see you there!

  2. Pogo is having major problems right now. Getting the Lottso and Phlinx badges is impossible right now, as the server keeps shutting down the service, as well as the games are having difficulty loading. I got the Trivial Pursuit badge no problem, but the other two aren’t happening right now.

  3. How do I do a daily Trivial Pursuit if I am caught up on all the dailys. Don’t get any tokens for a random. Thanks for any answers.

  4. Well, that didn’t take any time at all. 35 minutes later and I have all three badges done. Almost anticlimatic, and no real “thrill of victory” here. Lottso took 4 quick games, Phlinx took 1 game…over in 5 minutes, and Trivial Pursuit, also one game. Phlinx doesn’t seem to need an abundance of extra rooms since the game is over in one quick play. Plenty of rooms to play in.

  7. having issues. It wont load half of the phlinx rooms for me. Was playing the lotto one and it came up saying this name has entered a game room and kicked me off. I went back to phlinx was able to get in one, played one round came up this service temporarily unavailable and kicked me out. it counted my first round though, but now it keeps doing that to me after a round. aggravating.

  8. No matter what room or game I go into, I get the message “service temporarily unavailable.” Is this happening to anyone else?

  9. Just FYI, on trivial pursuit you don’t earn any tokens in random mode… so you have to play a round from the calendar. Guess I’ll earn mine tomorrow!

  10. #3 You can do the UK Trivial Pursuit if you are caught up on the US side.
    Or just wait till tomorrow. You have all week to get the badge.

  11. I am having the same problems as everyone else described in Phlinx. May as well get the Pebble Beach badge…………

  12. Carolyn, U can always go to U.K. side and play, if ya havent done that side of the pond, will get credit as well. Lura’s answers work there also, just make sure have u.k. side and u.k. answers lined up

  13. It’s still happening to me on any games I try to open…not even the weekly challenges. Looks like someone is asleep at the wheel at pogo. I just need the Phlinx one, so I’ll come back later. Glad to see it’s not just me.

  14. Cant even get into Pebble Beach without getting a message that my name showed up in another room. AND- live chat with customer service doesn’t work either. You type in your question- and chat refuses to start with a message saying you MUST type in a question. Ummmmmm …. {cough}

  16. is it me or is phlinx not loading for everyone? I cleared all my history & cookies and still no luck 🙁

  17. Anyone that is on FB can do 2 of the 3 badges on there. I had no trouble getting into a room thru FB.

    Suz

  18. Got the Lottso no problem, but keep getting service temporariy unavailable for TP. I finally finished a round of TP and it only gave me 47 tokens. Cant even get into Phlinx, and tried both Safari and Firefox. Still having problems. Grrr.

  20. Well, this sucks !!! I can’t get to any of the rooms on any of the games for the weekly badges. I keep getting booted off and can’t connect to server errors..just like everyone else. Pogo must be having problems as my ‘geek’ has checked my machine and all is well there.

    I keep trying to get back in and it won’t let me so I guess we all wait.

  21. Gotta love pogo responses to problems when you send one in. Told them about the problems with phlinx and trivial pursuit and they tell you to clean out your browser and java. They respond that way everytime instead of saying its on our end lol

  22. yet more pogo cock ups, i swear its like we gotta make an appointment to do these challenges.
    there is one word that sums up my feelings toward pogo at the moment…
    PATHETIC

  26. I just tried twice for Phlinx. I shot a few balls and their Java alert came up with the temporarily unavailable thing. Mac issue again?
    Pogo has resolved the right click issue for Mac but not the popup issue.
    I did find a better browser than Camino or Firefox, it’s Mozilla’s Seamonkey.

  27. I got another bad Phlinx window- everything but the game screen was showing and working. But when I hit “new game” it loaded a new game and it’s playing fine!!! Try it!!!

  28. Great weekly challenges. It took a while for Phlinx to load. Other than that I’m a happy camper.

    Does anyone know or remembers does POGO come out with a Thanksgiving Special Edition Badge? Usually Pogo Bowl or something? I should look through my album before asking.

    Lottso 30050 was a hoot as usual.

  29. Just to add to the problem, I am getting unable to connect to server and that is in Trivial Pursuit. Not to mention the ever popular, service not available error message in Phlinx. I have tried rooms with very few people and different tabs. Honestly, these are “old” games by Pogo standards. Why such severe issues on badge day when there have been many badge days in these games? I was already kicking myself for doing the UK side last night. But, at this rate, it may take till tonight to get the games to load.

  30. I got All 3 badges in about 1 hour. Had no problems with them or the rooms. Good luck to everyone.

  31. Well, sorry about all the Wednesday challenge issues, but very glad to know it’s not just my computer.
    That extra month & free gems we’re going to get for automatically renewing are only going to make up for alllllll the mess ups lately!
    I’ll try the challenges on FB. See, it does come in handy for some of us 😉

  32. I got started about 10:15 central time, and had no problem with anything. I always play Phlinx in the evenings every day, so have not tried to get into a room. What I do have a problem with……..is people able to do the badges on facebook and Pogo creating this fiasco on Wednesday mornings for Club Pogo Members.

  33. It’s not just in the badge games. I got bounced out of Word Search Daily with the “server not available” message. And now, the tokens are showing as “temporarily unavailable”. Does that mean I just can’t see the tokens, or would it not add tokens to my account if I manage to get in and play something?

  34. Different strokes for different folks. People playing Pogo on Facebook is fine with me and who knows I may eventually join the crowd. But, for the time being, well said #32 okladyplayer! When it works on Facebook and not for the paying club pogo members on the Pogo site? Stuff happens, I’m sure there is a rational technical explanation for it, but it just doesn’t seem right.

  35. re phlinx, if your token shows the correct amount in chat area it seems ur ok, however if it shows zero, you can guarantee that halfway through a round it will popup to quit.
    like i said before its PATHETIC
    when are these idiots at pogo gonna get a grip

  36. Well, I finished all three challenges in no time flat, and have done two of three for a friend as well. The longest one for me was Lottso, many times I could only place one ball, lol, but that is the luck of the draw. No real challenge this week, but I am sure that Pogo will more than make up for it in future challenges, lol! I am sure that half of the Pogo glitches on Badge day are due to the tremendous amount of people all trying to load games at the same time, thus causing a crash.
    Happy playing everyone.
    Sharon

  37. every1 is right about pathetic i saved 1 of todays quiz for the badge this morning all worked well but when i went in to do todays badge it kept quiting then finally i got the badge alright but not the 77oo tokens for the quiz,cant even get to do phlinz,it quits and try to get get chat forget it ,why should we have to have a FB account to play pogo,thats not what im paying for ,this is very frustrating,my pogo due dec 1 and im doing alot of thinking not to renew if i have to go to fb so much for randing

  39. got the phlynx and lottso badges with no problem. Trivia was another thing, kept shutting down. Completed todays round but pogo didnt give me any token credits.

  40. Good news for everyone – Phlinx went down on FB too 🙂

    Dummy here can’t get her TP badge until tomorrow b/c she forgot and did her daily US & UK TP quizzes before the badges went up….LOL

    I didn’t get to do Holly’s until after the weekly badges activated, so she has all of her badges completed. I’m finishing up her personal now, Swashbucks. Beth did her Pebble Beach last week…..can’t thank her enough!!! Next week I can go back to working on Holly’s 2009 album, 6 down and 98 to go 🙂

    Suz

  42. I got the Phlinx badge by going to a NON- CLUB Temporary Room. The token account server is still up in those rooms. Hope this helps someone.

    Lottso also had glitches. I guess they are too busy with FLASH on Facebook.

  43. finally got all my badges done within an hour, although still having loads of problems with my free accounts.
    has anyone had probs with wsd, just cant seem to enter a room no matter how long i give it

  44. Once again Badge hungry comes to the rescue Thanks 3bichons4 Amanda #42 went to non member got phlinx badge. Badge Hungry rocks for latest updates on problems

  45. I agree with awannpanji #44. Thank you 3 bichons4Amanda#42. After 2 hours of problems, went to free room and had no problem at all. THANK YOU AGAIN BADGEHUNGRY. Great job Lura!!

  46. I got my badges with no difficulty whatsoever. I don’t know if it was because I was playing on the UK site or just because I waited til about 12:30 Eastern to do them but I had no glitches except it took a few seconds longer for Phlinx to load then usual (I also used a temporary room).

    Speaking of the UK site, #3 Carolyn & #9 drkchclvr, if you’re all caught up on Trivia from both sites you won’t have to wait too much longer as you can do tomorrow’s UK Trival after 7:00 PM Eastern (I think I got the time differnce right). Of course, you’ll have to play it honestly since I don’t think Lura will have those answers up then, but it shouldn’t be too tough especially if you have played it that much.

    Good luck everyone and have fun!

    Tom

  49. I didn’t have any problems with getting into Phlinx as long as I clicked on “play now.” But they did do something to the game because for a month or so now (since they “fixed” it last) it would sit on a white screen and take a while for the game to download. Now it doesn’t take long at all….just like it used to be before they “fixed” it last.

  50. It is 2 central here. I had no trouble getting my trivia in US. Went to do my daily trivia in UK, got to question 10 and got the temp error and needed to quit. PO ed me off big time. Now won’t get the good tokens. Could get into Phlinx but got booted 3 times so, so much for that. Went to WW and got booted out of there. Can’t see where this Wed. should be any different from any other one we have had lately.
    In WW yesterday they added the stupid “give a Gift” crap to that game. It is a game on timer like bingo. Does POGO know how annoying it is to have those messages always flashing there. Need to “pull shade” or close chat. Heaven fobid someone really came in to room to see someone. Guess they must like to aggrivate their members. Well hope everyone gets there badges without too much trouble. Will go clip coupons for a while and should have no problems there!! LOL
    Sharon

  51. Shar #51 – You can turn off the gift feature with a few clicks. There are directions on the Pogo News front page.

    All games seem to be working now.

    Suz

  52. Although I’m sorry so many people had tons of frustration again today, thank you for taking the time to post it here to let others know (like me! lol). I always come here first, and if there are glitches, I just decide to wait awhile until I hear that it may be “safe” to play. lol

    I used to feel jealous that I had to go to work and miss doing the badges first thing, but reading about the problems most Wednesdays lately, I think all I’m really missing is a lot of frustrations!

    Shame on Pogo for having FB work, and FREE Temporary rooms work (for what was once a CLUB-Exclusive game) when Club rooms did not. IMO, I believe these glitches probably had more to do with putting Phlinx on FB and reconfiguring it for Free members. Pfffft. Not only do we not get anything new to play, but they are thumbing their noses at the old adage, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Pogo had some really good things going for it – how many perfectly fine games are they messing up trying to convert to Flash and make them FB-ready?

    (And for the record, that is NOT aimed at anyone who plays through FB — more power to you! — it is aimed solely at Pogo.)

    ~Shel ;>

  53. WED. GAME ROOMS ON DEMAND
    The reason Wednesdays are difficult now is because Pogo has announced that they rolled out a new ” Wednesday room” method on their servers. Somehow, they think they can “anticipate need” and have X number of rooms for X number of players in a dynamic state, with the number of rooms decreasing per day by their calculated percentages. They don’t plan on dedicating X number of rooms ( or server space, it’s the same thing) for the entire 7 days.

    I don’t know what method they are rolling out, but it has huge problems, and has since they changed to this ” room on demand” method they explained in a letter to the editior a month ago or so.

    You’re welcome to all who were able to use my hint and get into a non- member temp. room and get your badges. 🙂

  54. I came to the following conclusion : Pogo’s “A” team must be working on FB, the oldie but goodie paying club members get the “B” team.
    I reached this conclusion after weeks of all the Pogo problems with badges listed wrong, no temp rooms, server errors

  56. I am wondering if the transition to flash has to do with Java having all these problems? I remember a time when games loaded quickly and consistently but now I get a cripes error more than half the time. It seems that flash is more reliable. Flash loads much more quickly than java too. I know flash can be glitchier and a bit boggy. I’d be interested to do a challenge in a flash game and see if there is any difference.

    Sorry to all those who have had problems. I hope Pogo gets their act together soon enough!

  57. I agree completely with previous post. No consideration is being given to paying clients. Phlinx is working in free games. Went into member game thru play now and had good game going. Had error and lost it so is NOT FIXED. The old adage==if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it certainly applies to java and flash. I have no intention of playing games on facebook or my cell. If Pogo no longer wishes to service its online clients, it is certainly taking the steps to lose them and their income.

  58. Well, here’s my 2 cents and the letter I wrote to the Editor. As if it matters!

    Dear Editor,

    Your site is supposed to be fun. Seems to me, of late, you’d rather stretch your resources into a multitude of various venues; leaving them all wanting. Nothing seems to be working. You’re leaving your faithful members floundering while you’re off being as you stated last week, “on the band wagon.” Well, darling, it sadly seems that Pogo is tone deaf, so forget the band. People found you before face book. It’s not working. I’ve tried to be patient, but let’s face it, you obviously can’t manage both.

    Very sad,

    Disillusioned

  59. I understand you guys feel very strongly about the problems that Pogo has had lately. This thread is still used by people looking for hints and tips on the badges — when they work — so please let’s get back on track and stay on topic.

  61. All I can say is thank god for pogo games on facebook! For some reason, my puter will not let me play Phlinx through aol, chrome, or even Mozilla. But it loaded through facebook; and I was soooo happy!! I wish I had figured it out last week, though, lol, I missed out on getting that phlinx badge, but I guess I’ll do it as a personal when it comes available as one. Good luck all! : )

  62. If you can’t get into a room, not much point for tips. Not trying to be argumentative, but that’s basically what it comes down to.

  63. I was able to complete the Trivial Pursuit badge. Like Suz indicated, play it on Facebook if you want to get the experience points. One perfect game and the badge is complete.

    As for the others, this is complete bull. I cannot get into Phlinx and now I cannot get into Lottso. I was able to get one Lottso game done, but the entire platform froze and now I cannot even connect to the Pogo website. THANKS, POGO!

  64. I’m so happy Pogo had a thing for free gems if you join CLUB PING. It’s where I’ll be spending this down time now since Pogo can not get it together. Badges don’t work, new mini mess not work. Here is my tip for this weeks badges… don’t renew you won’t have badges to worry about anymore My God

  65. no real tips on todays games.did have a problem with lottso,however.a couple times,i got booted from rooms,then a couple of other times,no numbers came up.and 1 guy in particular was saying he had the same problem on numerous occasions(no numbers coming up).was wondering if anyone else had that issue..

    thanks..and gl to all

  67. I just gotta say, the phrase that comes to mind with pogo is “if it weren’t for bad news, there wouldn’t be news at all”. Imagine the thread if all had gone well–I got mine, I got mine…easy week, etc. There is a real difference when all the ducks are not in a row…

  69. My post having been said, i went, with the advice of others here to do my phlinx in a free game room, only to encounter an applet cripes..and I do not do the Dark Side. Now, I have to punt and figure this out or wait for more “fixes”…

  70. Hints and tips for the badges:
    1) Learn how to play the games before you start a badge challenge.
    2) Phlinx- play on Beginner. It’s easier to get MANY stones to fall in the Evening Sky part.
    Badge took about 6 minutes on the easiest level- Beginner.
    3) Lottso- I played in a room by myself. Had 5 TEAM cards showing at one time when a game loaded. Usually, about one per game, so probably close to 10 games to the badge.
    Don’t get the Super Lottso card, as half your screen opportunity for TEAM cards is lost. ( Watch out for Fire card, and don’t scratch all 3 cards on one side at once, IOW). Badge challenge lasted around 20 minutes.
    4) Trivial Pursuit- The answers to today’s questions can be found on most Pogo fan sites. Open 2 browser windows, and use the answers from a Pogo- friendly site ( They are probably posted here- I don’t play the game any longer, so I don’t look for them.) I knew the answers without using any site’s list. Your badge challenge time may vary- mine was less than 7 minutes.

    Hope this helps someone and is on topic. 🙂

  71. So very glad I visited your site before wiping my computer and restoring to a previous date. It seems like it may not be just me LOL, I’m so happy to be spared the headache.
    Maybe it will work tomorrow.
    Thanks to all my fellow frustrated gamers, and to Lura for this informative site.

  72. I too had difficulty getting the lottso badge with being booted out.
    I wish we could get free gems when we renew our subscriptions and do the survey or even get prizes.
    Since the new flash games my computer has slowed up badly , even with google chrome.

  73. well for a million dollar plus industry they could do alot better on service as well as proper upgrades seems like they pay more mind to add flash and new games then upgrade games like moi jong and hogs heavan but thay add to wonderland memories cant grip that idea ps we all need to write more on other topics ty

  74. arghhhh, now what do I do–I cleared history and other categories, cleared java cache, cleaned disk, defragged, rebooted…went in, room loaded, finished the game, no jp spin came up and then got another notice as i was waiting for the badge to come up—that the room was temporarily unavailable and to try back later…and yes, this too is on topic..

  75. I had problems with Phlinx loadin for me but i went to a free game room and i was able to play there with no problem… didn’t have trouble with the other ones though… Was just wondering what happened to the live chat on pogo??????!!!!!!!???????

  76. Game tips on TP:

    3 bichons #70 – For Triv Pursuit and Crossword Cove and the like, you can do that with one browser since the game itself is in its own window. Open pogo and BH on two tabs in browser. Go to BH tab and find link on right under Game Help for the game you want. Now go to pogo tab and go to the game. After the game window loads, go back to browser and back to BH. Resize the browser window so you can see both the answers in the browser window AND the game window at the same time. Play 🙂

    WTG pogo on 3 very doable challenges – I will be doing a tough personal this week, cool.

    Simone #71 – It’s great that you didn’t go thru all that. For me I find if there are like 50 or 60 comments on the new Wednesday weeklies thread by late afternoon or early evening, I know there’s a problem and avoid it. Also, when I got here this evening Lura had added a note to the top of of the thread that pogo was having probs w/phlinx, thank you Lura.

  77. I’m really happy that Pogo made this weeks challenges very easy, it gave me time to work on Pebble Beach Golf for my personal challenge. I want to thank Lura for this site and the tips. Without it I would not have gotten my badge.

  78. Might seem obvious, but it hasn’t been stated yet. Make sure you play on the “TEAM” tab. There are no team cards in the “COMPETITIVE” tab.

  79. donald #73 – Concerning topics. I have only been an active and interested player on pogo for 11 months, but was lucky to be told about BadgeHungry! early this year. At first I needed help a bit getting around because I am not good at this computer stuff. But over time I have looked into many of the links (on the right side of the page, near the top), and just to the right of that is the Categories drop down window, go look and be surprised. May I suggest a few things? First, when I get to the BH home page I scroll down since many days Lura has several NEW items! Second, there are several different ‘active’ threads going on at all times which, again I scroll down to find (and at the bottom of the page is a link for ‘older entries’). – Lastly, early Friday thru Sunday afternoon is the ‘Weekend Open Thread’ where Lura invites us to discuss ALL things pogo. I hope this helps. 🙂

  80. Sog.#76, that’s exactly what I did, and was trying to say, LOL. I just don’t bother with TP or CC any longer. If they add badges, they will reset stats like they did in Monopoly. Sigh.

  81. Should we even be surprised by all this mess? they are too focused on their new “Pogobook” that they don’t care anymore.
    Let’s not even go into Phlinx being free now (it’s bad when the NON-Paying rooms work and our MEMBER rooms don’t!)

    Anyways.
    I used Trivial pursuit answers. That’s my tip for that game.
    Phlinx… is basic… if you can even stay in the room!
    Lottso- Go for team lottso cards only.

  82. WOW!!! This weeks badges were wayyyy to easy IMO. I agree with a previous comment, where’s the challenge? I did 2/3 via FB…lol…it took longer to load the Phlinx room then it did to get the badge.

    I can’t complain about Pogo—if I have had issues, I’ve either emailed or live-chatted, & the Pogo team attended to my problems right away! Remember! We have a choice to play Or not to play on Pogo.
    Have a good week everyone!

  83. I guess I was really lucky then. I opened Phlinx really early this morning. I did get the temp serve/try later dialog box but I relogged back right away and everything was fine. Got the badge in about 5 minutes I think.
    Went straight to Lottso as I don’t much care for it. Took about 4 games and all loaded without any problem.
    Spend most of rest of day on personal High Stakes Poker win 50 games with 2 pair or higher. (I enjoy poker :)). Stopped at mid point and knocked out Trivial Pursuit around 8 pm PT Only takes one game and you can chose from a calendar date if you have already done the daily. Since you don’t have to wait for the show answers timer (just click on it)that one finished up pretty quick too. All in teens member rooms if that is any help.

  84. Well glad we have easy badges this week…but I am disappointed with POGO once again on Badge day….have tried at least 50x to play Lottso and I end up getting booted, freezing or no balls. Every Wednesday issues beyound issues this is gotten to the point where I do my badges on Sunday or Monday. Well goodluck to everyone else.

  85. Trivial > Big thanks to Lura’s answer for daily dose of Trivial answer. Done in a snap
    Lottso > Pretty easy. Just keep focus on Team Lottso and it should be done about 3 or 4 games
    Phlinx > Pretty easy too. Play on beginner to make it easier. Done on 1 or 2 set of game
    Many thanks also for Lura telling abt Pebble and Swashbuck gonna retire..Have done that in last 2 weeks including now. Now onward back to focus on 2003 next week

  86. #Carolyn 2 > If you have done both Trivial (US or UK) for today, then get it tomorrow..Sounds easy eh?

  87. Glad POGO finally got everything fixed. I still can not understand WHY the “special edition” badge in Phlinx? ALL badges this week were way too easy. I did all 6 peoples challenges in less than 2 hours. GL to all. If anyone is having trouble getting PebbleBeach Golf, please contact me on pogo and I can do it for you in just 2 games. Thank You Lura for such a FANTASTIC site. The Lord’s Blessings to all.

  88. I was having problems with Phlinx yesterday right away after 9am. Used Chrome, got in and had badge in 2 games. Was done with all 3 last night. They seemed unusually easy. You would think special edition would require a little more work.

  89. I, too, as reported by CC#88, used Chrome and had no difficulty with any of the challenges.l I did my personals as well as repeated MnM and Premium challenges in Lottso, playing off and on throughout the day, all without difficulty.

  90. Hi Everyone
    Just wanted all to know that I still can’t get into phlinx. Been trying all day. Don’t know why if others are getting in. Don’t know what to do now, guess i just keep trying.

  91. I am able to enter a club member’s room and play with a small delay before the game loads. I am running Firefox. Just a thought, try clearing recent history (all options).

  92. Isaac, I did all the things that I mentioned in post 74, then waited till I could go into a room that had reopened. I was able to get phlinx successfully then last nite. I guess I was frustrated cuz I go into rooms the night before and play all games now to make sure they are up and working. Then on badge day, with pogo maintenance, I don’t know what to expect. The challenges were fun, the BHers were a delight in Lottso room 50030, and that is the way it should be. I enjoy this BH site and enjoy the games and don’t like being a whiner at all. I just wish pogo would do their due diligence to make sure that all is well on game day, instead of, or in addition to “all else” they do for their non-paying customers…As for the challenges, I will gladly add these badges to my collection.

  93. Phlinx: You can get this one done in a few minutes just by firing randomly. I finished mine like this in less than 10 minutes.

    Lottso: This one is also easy, as long as you resist the temptation of punching the computer screen lol. If you don’t have a team lottso card, aim for the cards that have very few numbers (charity cards and gray cards). Also, if the “fire” card appears at the top of a column, clear one of the cards below it before it burns or you’ll get a super lottso card instead of 3 regular cards (the opposite of normal strategy, weird lol).

    Good luck! 🙂
    jaredph

  95. Had a few probs with badges in the begining,but kept at it. No tips that haven’t been mentioned since all were rather easy to obtain once ya could stay in a room..lol One bright spot however,went to boggle while waiting for the rooms to clear up an was happily surprised to finally find my 10 letter word(almost fell outta my chair) It was mastheader which I aint got a clue what that is but,oh well,I’ll take it..heheh,no pride when it comes to getting new badges:)
    Enjoyed poppin in and sayin hi to everyone in the BH room ,You guys are the” bombdiggity” in my book

    Ty all y’all for your comments; my first inclination was to do a tuff personal weekly, but now I’m thinking I will do Golf like I was planning and get on TP. I have mostly only played TP on weekends and have most of last years puzzles to do yet – which IIRC will all be removed from pogo around new year’s day.

    BTW don’t forget that no matter when you play a week of TP, you will always get the 15,000 token bonus for completing the 7th wedge. Yes, 15,000.

    It takes about 10 minutes per puzzle for me but if you use the answers it only takes about 5 minutes each – so if you go that route, figure only about 35 or 40 minutes for 15,000 – plus all the tokies you get each game, like 2200 for answers plus the ‘all right’ or ‘perfect game’ bonus; lots of tokens to be had!!!

  97. 3bichons #53 – Was wondering where & when Pogo announced the new Wednesday room demand method you mentioned. I know the Editor made a mention during an apology about trying something new when it blew up a badge day several weeks ago, but I don’t remembering him announcing that it was definitely a change they put through. Haven’t seen anything since then about it being definitely implemented, etc. Can you point me in the right direction to see the announcement? Would appreciate it – thanks!

    (Lura, fine with me if you want to hold this for the weekend – up to you.)

  98. Hi all. For Lottso! if you have any Team Lottso! cards on screen, fill them up first then the other cards.
    For Phlinx use the power-ups and you can bounce stones off the side pillars.
    I got the TP badge in one game, didn’t even need a do-over.

  99. Well…I got a late start on the badges as usual this week, but they were both pretty easy. I played Swashbucks for my personal badge. I was going to say that I can see why pogo is getting rid of it…BORING!!!! But, of course now it looks like they will be kepping it around a little longer.

    See you all in the game rooms!
