Ha! The Spike Meets The Sims badge is showing 0/20 on my homepage and is completed in my weekly album. Gonna be weird to look at a 0/20 the whole week, but I’m happy it’s working and sorted out.
RDSS is scary. I’ve never been good at playing on medium. =/

Is there any point in doing the “Spike Meets The Sims” badge over again if you earned it last month?
Michele says
I was wondering about the Poppit badge since it was a “super secret” badge a few weeks ago. I looked in my badge collection last night, but didn’t see it. I’ll look again this morning, but will I need to do it again to get the badge?
Kelli says
My spike meets the sims badge is still completed in my badges on August 17th…I will not even bother redoing it.
Bobbi (bjvs1118) says

You wont be able to activate a poppit personal until you complete it or get it resolved from live help.

playcody06 says
what level do you play this rainy day badge, it s a hard 1,with 3 badges and 2 personals wow any tips would be greaty appriate it , never done a badge like this before,oh well got my work cut out for me
Joe C says
I have them all this morning. Easy times this week. I did not get the Poppit badge when it was sneak-peaked and I did not ask Pogo support to give it to me, so I just did it this morning.
The only benefits to doing the Poppit badge a second time are:
1) You like having x2 next to all of your weekly challenges (like I do, 2003 to Mid-2006)
2) You have a different Poppit badge you need to activate
3) You want more tokens
4) You to rank up
Enjoy badge day everyone.

ok my tip on the rsd badge is to get the first red set then tell it new deal. it will count the set for badge progress.
i normally dont play on anything more than easy.
im not fond of this game so id take the short cut myself.
wen/aka/fishladyfish says
raining day wasn’t so bad as i thought , play on normal . theres four towards the badge per game on the last one once you get one stack hit new game it counts . same if you cannot finish a whole game if you have 1 or 2 piles they will count
kathy says
hi all, in rainy day spider, you need to play on normal or hard leval to get the red cards….i played normal and won 2/9. you do not have win the game. you need to use the free column at the end of the row to place you red cards. and tryto free up as many free colummns as you can. you can red cards on black cards to help clear spaces or vice versa too
also you get a bad deal, you hit new game til you get some cards you work with… good luck
Pat says
I just wanted to say that Spider Soli was the first game in pogo I ranked out in–I became quite obsessed with beating the puter…but, for those less familiar, the tips here are good, and relax, it WILL come. The one thing I did want to add was that I also had an MNM and a premium badge to do as well. I started in medium, getting credit on all 3 badges, then when the weekly badge was complete, I switched down to easy level and it was lickity split from there,
Pat says
Oh yes, I forgot–use the UNDO frequently—if a stack doesn’t work backtrack and try it another way, hitting UNDO back to another path. It will undo back to a power-up (free space, tokens) or to where a new pile was dealt.
shygirlornot says
so excited for boggle bash one of my fav word games. RDSS is a bit scary for me to playing on normal/medium is gonna be rough, and poppit i cant seem to win any the last time i played on skill level 2, so im hoping i have better luck this time. gl to all n happy badge day/Wednesday!
sherry 🙂

Is anyone else not getting credit for wins in Poppit? Have won two, and no credit showing. Don’t want to continue until they show. I did log out and in again, nothing.
Thanks, Sharon
fadedwildrose says
For those not familiar with RDS, remember that you can stack opposite colors as needed to free up face down cards, it only has to be all one color to clear off playing field and count for badge.
Pat says
Sharon, please make sure you are on Level 2 or higher as the badge requires–been there, done that !
Ange says

Make sure u are playing at level 2 or 3. Level 1 will not give u credit for wins.

Flavours664 says
Parkercat, make sure you are playing on Skill Level 2 for Poppitt. Also, for RDS it was said to use ur undo button and try to leave open ur Free Column after u finished ur moves u want to make before u add more of ur cards. It helps to always keep it open to move cards around. Gl ev1 and hugz Flav sure hope i make sense – I would never be a good teacher

Got Spider Sol in 3 games. 4/9. 8/9. 12/9.
I also did my two personals in Spider Sol and got the Rank 10 badge, which is my 175th Game Award badge. Creepy Crawler, my most recent personal, is my 700th overall badge. I am only 4 away from 250 Weekly badges.
Not bad for being a Club member for only 14 months.
The Boggle Bash was the easiest. I only needed 19 minutes to win that one. Not my fastest, but in my top 5.
Spider Sol on Normal is not too bad. There are only two suits; Diamond (red) and Club (black). Hard has all 4 suits. I can only find three difficulty settings for it: Beginner, Normal, and Hard.

I redid the poppit badge because I have to do a poppit personal. I got the 2,000 tokens but it doesn’t say x2. Did this happen to anyone else?
Stef140 says
Very simple badges this week, 2 hours and I had them all done. Now I have more time for my second account and personals I guess.
parkercat2001 says
Pat, Ange and Flavour, tysvm 4 help, was on two, however, a little
Gremlin went in and did them all for me! GB him, rflmao! Don’t know what was happening on my end!
Shelly says
Mrs Mike Brown #24
Happened to me too, or rather didn’t happen, depending on how you look at it…lol
I re-did the Poppit badge wondering if it would say X2 next to the original one but it didn’t.

Thank you, that was the best advice on RDS, I tried going further but it was just a mess and I am pretty much a newbie at this game and play on easy when I do. I have 3 other badges that I will have to play on normal and actually win the game. I chose not to activate any others which I typically do. I am so glad unlike that payday one a while back we did not have to win these to get the badge.
I think it is different for everyone but this week for me is challenging.
Thanks all for clarifying on the Sims one.
hagd! tc
Mrs. Mike Brown says
Thanks Shelly.

Anything that anyone can tell me to help with Poppit! would be appreciated. I rarely win it, can’t figure out a strategy.
For RDS, I used the extra column and piled the reds there. Once I had a complete set I hit new game and got credit for that one.
TomT says
RyzandShyn #30, I can’t expand on the tips that are already given on the Ranks & Tips page including the link to the Tuesday Tips discussion linked to there but if I were to sum up try these things:
– keep using the New Game button until you get one (or better yet two) powerup balloons in the layout (the ones with stars instead of prizes). There’s many a game where you’ll have one column that you can’t get to the prize on but a selective push-pin pop or the weight could accomplish that.
– concentrate on horizontal matches before vertical ones because vertical ones will always be available later.
– Use the “Undo” as often as you need to (which is good advice for most games).
For RDSS I have to disagree with some of the suggestions here, though.
You will get credit for each red suit you clear whether you win or not but each time you do manage to clear a suit your chances of winning the game goes up significantly because there are fewer cards left which makes it easier to rearrange the remaining cards and clearing even more suits.
If you do win the game you’ll get credit for 4 red suits cleared whereas if you hit new game after only clearing one red suit you’ll only get credit for one.
So, IMO, unless you only need one more suit cleared to win the badge I think you’ll do better trying to win the game instead of doing a quick reset. Even if you don’t mangage to win you’ll still have a good shot of clearing more red suits.
Whatever method you choose, though, good luck everyone and, most importantly, have fun!
-Tom

Thanks Tom. I appreciate you pointing out where I can read more and I appreciate your summary. I’ll give it a go.
