[princess]

#2 where is that option?

[harley89]

you should have a settings option on the auto.click that and set it on shot 2 you will get your 200 game

I really hopes this works cuz I need the same badge. That is the only game I can't get. It almost seems as if its mostly luck. I can't get the hang of a strike, anyone know a sure trick for that? I see alot of people who get quite abit but I can't.  :OO :'(( !@#$ >:((

the auto will get this badge but it will take a while, seems you score better in a room with less people

i didnt use the auto and i just got lucky and it only took me 3 games to get it!!!! :/\

Ty for your help.  I found option #2 and will try it tomorrow.  Hope it works!  I don't know how some of those people get strike after strike!  It bugs me!  Will let you know tomorrow if it works, thanks again for your help. <3

I remember I was in a room once and one person kept bowling strikes, game after game after game. You just knew he was using an auto and some of the other folks in the room reported him.

And this is why I like the auto from here so much: it isn't so good that it's perfect and can alert other people but it's good enough that most of the time it will perform nicely and get the job done. :)

How in god's name do I get it to shoot harder? The indicator is always yellow!!

I will never get 200 at this rate. :(

My famous shot 2 didn't do it for me on this one. It took me forever to get this badge.

[harley89]

I used the auto with the famous shot 2. Took about 2 and half hours but it got the badge. Nobody said you would get it in the first 2 games. While I was in that room watching the auto a player rolled 8 straight strikes. Wondered about auto use there. Backspin will get you a 2 hundred game but does so slowly and bowls over 150 on most games. It plays great but not perfect which is best. So be patient and let the auto do its thing

What do you guys think?

From Pogo News Page-Ms.Netiquette:

Accused of Using an Auto! What do I do?
Dear Ms. N,

Today I was lucky enough to bowl a 300 game. But before I had finished the game, a player started to accuse me of using an "auto." I typed in that I was not and another person typed in that I was just good and I was not using and auto. Here's the problem: the accuser then typed in that they had reported me and this other person for using autos.

Ok, I know I was not using an "auto," and if Pogo does investigate they should be able to prove that I and the other person in the room did not use one.

This other person then started using names and semi-foul words and then quickly left. This person may or may not have reported me, but he or she did not have a right to use names and insults. The person left so fast that no one in the room could report the abusive nature.

What can be done? Thank you for any help, No Auto for Me

Bet this letter writer is a member here! :)) :)) :))

Sounds like a bunch of poppycock to me.  :)))

Setting 2 on Backspin worked great for me. I had my badge in no time at all.
But, I used a different strategy. I went into a " tourney" because, like Poppazoppa, I find that I get higher scores in a room full of skilled players who are getting extremely high scores.

If one tactic doesn't work for you, try the opposite... but setting 2 is the closest to perfect on Backspin. I also set the speed up as high as it will go.

[harley89]

In regards to the pogo letter. Wont be the 1st ones to be accused of using autos when they werent. And wont be the 1st pogo says are using autos when they are not. They use pogo logic and it dont always make sense

I activated my bowling badge, and the first game I played I got my very first over 200 game! Wow, then I let the auto do the rest, and in about 20 min, I had the badge, talk about lucky! I honestly didn't think I could get that badge, at least not on the first try! I left the auto a few times for awhile, but it never got over 200 for me. I'm glad it did that time. <..>

[tokiehog]

my backspin is the best thing...i got the bowling badge in 2 games straight...but a friend of mine had to bowl 38 games b4 she got hers...just luck.. :;'
