The tips made earlier on how to make a huge amount of rank points is great. But its really hard to find good players who can stay in the game for that long. Does anyone know if pogo is ever going to make special rooms for different skills at Battle Phlinx? It would make it alot easier to find people who are good at the game that way. Or how to suggest it to pogo?
Pogo isn't going to take the time, effort and manpower to modify a new game. You can suggest it through the help tab in your Pogo account.
I know what you mean. I try and play with people, but never have anyone stay past a second game with me. I don't think I am that good, but do not think it fair that I should lose every once in awhile just to get people to stay and play.
Private rooms are a wonderful thing. ;)
Best thing since sliced bread and badgehelp.
Wish they haddum for Word Whomp ;D
No such luck. :(
Should be plenty of empty rooms when the new challenges come out on Wednesday. :D
yes thats true..some ppl rude if you go in some rooms
How dare you say that? You have been following Max and I for so long now that it is unreal. I have asked you again and again and again to stop it. I started out polite and you have kept this remarkably ignorant behavior up for months. I've fired the last warning shot with you. You are not invited to stalk me ever. I think ten polite requests is nine too many. Neither one of us invited you to add us to your friends list. We leave a room and you follow. I discussed this with you in Pogo private chat today and you have a lot of nerve to come here and say this. It is not rude of me to ask you to leave me alone and not harrass me by tailing me. Your behavior is what is rude. Do you want to discuss this further lady or have you learned your lesson by now?
Not only is it rude, but what you're doing could be considered harassment and stalking. Do you realize that there are laws that protect people against these cowardly actions, Mar? Oh, nevermind the fact that Pogo covers this in their Terms of Service...
Read it and weep, sweetie, you're breaking Pogo's rules, too.
http://www.ea.com/global/legal/tos.jsp
3. ONLINE CONDUCT.
Online conduct should be guided by common sense and basic etiquette. The laws that apply in the offline world must be obeyed online as well. We have zero tolerance for illegal behavior on EA Online. You must also obey rules for use of third party tools, and rules of interactive service providers, state, local, federal laws, or foreign or international law where appropriate. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. We terminate use of EA Online and cooperate with law enforcement for illegal behavior.
You agree that you will be personally responsible for your use of EA Online and for all of your communication and activity on the Service, including any Content you contribute, and that you will indemnify and hold harmless EA., its affiliates, employees, officers, and directors from any liability or damages arising from your conduct on EA Online, including any Content that you contribute.
You will violate the Terms of Service if you (or others using your Account) do any of the following:
· Post, transmit, promote, or distribute Content that is illegal. ·
· Harass, threaten, embarrass, or do anything else to another Member or guest that is unwanted. This means: don't say bad things about them, don't keep sending them unwanted messages, don't attack their race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. If you disagree with someone, respond to the subject, not the person.
By that very last rule outlined right there, Barb (and others) have solid grounds to file formal and possible criminal complaints against you... and if you're not in the same state she is in, then you're guilty of a federal computer crime, as well.
Trust me, sweetie, you'd be real smart in backing off before you get your account and yourself into some serious trouble. Oh, and this goes for all your friends and relatives (those with and without their nifty helmets, too).

OMG, Barbara, I started reading this and at first thought you were kidding someone. That's horrific if she is really stalking you!! .. How does she know your pogo screen name???
Someone posted her sn along with others on some online petition. I came across it the other day. Not that I was looking I was just curious what the petition was about.
Max has been very generous to this forum, giving away autos and free Club Pogo memberships. People tend to think this is an open invitation to follow Max. Max and I always play together and I have observed this person for well over four months, speaking to Max in Pogo. Max and I would be on the phone and just wondering how long this would go on. I asked her one day, "You speak to him night after night, does he ever answer you?" She replied, "No, but I figure if I keep trying he will." Max and I speak in Pogo at times and we switch screen names often. It's not that hard to figure out who I am when you follow us constantly and we are the only two people in the room. Max is in poor health and I am undergoing treatment for breast cancer for the second time in 18 months. I am not playing around any longer with anyone. If someone wants something or needs something all you have to do is to e-mail either one of us, speak to us in this forum, come to chat, IM us, PM us in this forum or leave us a Pogo e-mail. I have never ignored a request for help. I have earned badges for over 100 forum members and despite being in bone crushing pain, I stay here and I try to help anyone who needs it. I answer almost as many people in chat as the forum. I don't play Pogo with others and neither does Max. I would like my privacy and I don't think that is rude at all. Max would like his privacy as well.

I just now read what you wrote and I have to say that I have never been so freaking disgusted in my life. What have I done to anyone to deserve this? I have purchased 25 Club Pogo memberships for people who can't afford them. I can't tell you how many times I have e-mailed Oscar with Pay Pal receipts with my name on it, buying autos for people and getting codes for them at my expense. I get tired of typing in the "message to seller" box "This is for a friend, blah, blah, blah......" I spend hours each day TRYING to help and this is the thanks I get? I get messages form people, alerting me to a crack forum that is holding a death lottery for me, the winner of the date of my demise gets all the Badgehelp autos, cracked. I've invested my time and my effort into helping people and I get this crap in return? Guys, you are on your own now. I quit. As for the petition, for the crap weasel who started it, go ahead and take on me. I'll just start over and I'll do it as I did the first time, really well.
Barbara, I too am sorry for the treatment you are receiving due to ignorant people. Don't let them get you down, keep being the sweet, helpful you and I guarantee there are more that appreciate you than those who don't. Take care sweety.
Barbara,
As old as I am, I shouldn't be surprised at how low some people can sink, but this really sickens me. I had no idea this kind of thing was going on and don't understand how someone could take enjoyment from it.
However you decide to deal with this is totally up to you, but no matter what, please realize that there are a whole bunch of folks around here that care about you and for you. You've always offered encouragement, kind words, and help and I just wish there was something I/we could do for you in return. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Bill
last night i stayed in a game for an hour and i was so tired after that
barb let me say i am so sorry who rude ppl are even when you do so much you still get walked on
also i wanted to say i swear most adults are very rude and the reason i say this is cause i just had a hysterectomy on tue the 23 got out of the hospitail on friday the 26th and my son wanted to meet his teacher bad and that was the night they had to do that know i know i was dumb for going out that day but i wanted to take him he is starting 1st grade anyways it was the mom and dads that were walking right at me and bumping me there kids were even saying that person hurts and belive me you can tell i have pain i cant stand up i am holding my tummy and then the mom and dads were giving me a dirty look if me my son or my mom would say be carefull, watch out i would say ouch they would just stare like nothing was wrong and this is why i think most ppl are rude for peat sakes you can tell im in pain but my son wanted to go and i know i was dumb
also sorry if this sounds dumb im on paill killers that are messing me up lol
and barb sorry again and hope you get to felling better take care

My sentiments exactly. I am so sorry to hear of all of this, like there isn't enough turmoil already in this world, to have this happen is appalling! :'( Please know that we are all here for you and we care about you...sorry again to hear about these problems.

(((((Barbara)))))) Words can't begin to express how sorry I am to hear what you're dealing with. You (and Max) are certainly in my prayers, not only for a healthy recovery but also for a more peaceful "online" life. You have been nothing but giving to people on this board and I read it every day, over and over. My plea to you is PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP!! When you do, the nutz win and YOU are the winner, not them! If there is anything at all I can do, please just contact me.
Barb...Honey ....You are the heart and soul of this forum........I know things seem pretty crappy right now....and whatever you choose to do I will respect.....Just know that we love you and Max and we are selfish.......we dont want to lose you here........
barb,
i just wanted to say thanks for all the help you have given me with getting the autos to work, so if i can every do anything for you please let me know. stand proud and stay strong. :)
eric.
I too was and or am unaware of this petition circulating and I am so sorry that you of all ppl is the target of such maliciousness and I know that personally your under stress with medical and now with your daughters nuptials I along with many ppl on here wish you the best.
However, this just goes to reiterate to all you must keep your info anonymous. I am sorry but I trust no one. I mean this is a cheating forum and anyone can come here and "get to know you" when I see a post that says I need tokens and its their first couple of posts I just chuckle to myself and say yeah right. Just my thoughts.

I don't know right now whether Barbara will return to the forum. I don't want anyone to think she was driven away. Right now, she chooses to stay away from the forum because, if she were here, she would not restrain herself from telling some members exactly what she thinks of them, and she chooses not to do that out of respect for the owners of the forum.
It is truly a damn shame that there are so many wicked and evil people in this world...I sure hope she doesn't stay away from the forum because we ALL NEED HER! Come back Barbara, pleaaaaasssssseeeeeeeee! :'(
and You too Max....you are both needed here.......... O0
whoever is harassing Barbara has a very sick mind.there is thousands of sick individuals in the world today walking our streets.
now we get a sick idiot causing heartache for a well respected person
i have known Barbara on here for over a year and she is always cheerful friendly funny and always gives helpful advice.
you couldn't wish to meet a nicer person.
how gutless and sickening this person is
we all come online to leave the stresses of life to have some fun and leave our cares and worries behind to play some cool games and meet nice friendly people
my thoughts are with you Barbara.my mom had breast cancer but how now recovered thankfully
you are a strong willed person and i know you have the strength and friends to get you through this difficult period
I read the tail end of this thread this afternoon and was aghast. First of all, to those who feel the need to stalk Barb, Max, or anyone for that fact, who has unselfishly given you an auto or much needed help getting a badge, you are truly sick and need some help. You wouldn't want someone standing outside your home, car, work, etc., watching your every move. It is the same theory here.
I love Barb as a person and a friend. I have seen her unselfishness in action and have been amazed at her willingness to go way out of her way to help others. To find that some want to cause her grief, stress, or just plain harrass her turns my stomach. I hope you can live with yourself because I wouldn't be able too. Yes, she has purchased autos for people, I have seen it. Why? Because it was much easier than having to hear about the constant complaining on the forum about not receiving the password. All she asked for in return was to have the person say the issue was resolved. She has respect for the forum and people who run it. She also would spend hours and hours helping people with their games and forgoing her own. Why? Because she likes to make people happy, she likes to help people. I cannot understand for the life of me why some people would want to hurt her.
I used to be in chat every night and saw the compassion and eagerness to help people within Barb. If the rest of the world had half of what she has, we'd all be better off.
I am sorry I haven't been around much Barb. I stand beside you in whatever you decide to do, you know that.
Barbara,
I am shocked and appalled at the treatment you are recieving, i cannot believe that someone could to this to someone such as your self,.
I will allways remember how you and your friends put your self out to help me obtain a badge i needed for that weeks challenge, and for that i will allways be gratefull,.
I sincerely hope that when you are ready you will return here to this board and all your friends who love you so much,.
Please dont let this lowlife drive you away we all need you here,and by staying away you are giving this creature the satisfaction off knowing that you left because off them, and that is power to this amoeba,.
Please come back barbara.
I just want to say how sorry I am that Barbara even has to be targeted from some lowlife. I have no idea what this petetion thing is and really don't care to know. The posts here have said it all.
Barbara, this forum is not complete without you here. You have so many good people here that are in total support with you. I am so sorry for whatever has you upset. You have made helping people and putting smiles on our faces a full time job and it more appreciated than you will ever know.
I really don't know what else to say other than to show my support for you. I don't know what was said or by whom. I only hope karma comes back in full.
Barbara and Bob i am terribly sorry that things have been said about you all. You both do an excellent job on here and without you two this place wouldn't be the same. Please don't let some low life in here or pogo run you away from all of us! We all need you here with us! Thank you so much for all that you do for all of us! O0
Although i am sure it sounds pretty redundant at this point, i am sure sorry to hear of this. You have always been friendly and helpful. The older i get *online* the less tolerant i become of people that seem to think that it is ok to behave in ways that they would never think of behaving in a real world enviroment. I hope, if you take a break, you find some peace of mind and can come back knowing there are lots of us that miss your posts.
Namaste
Lori
Hmmmm what I'd like to know is how this "Mar" person is still able to remain a member of this forum,..................... :o
And Barbara there are alot of sick, jealous people out there who will do anything try and ruin things, what I've seen from your posts is that you are very eager to help and your very confident, stand tall and be proud of your accomplishments, DON'T let them put you down they are not worth it, its just so sad to see how some petty people can get away with things, please don't let this happen, you know your worth alot. :) O0
ps: From someone who understands what your going through
Barb
i am new here and have read lots of tip you have givin out and tried them and i thank you .
You have lots of friends here from the reading i have done tonight i am sure you will be really missed by alot . Good luck with your health you will be in my prayers
Sadiegal
:(
Even though I've been here a short time, Barb seems very likable and friendly. It'd be a shame if she left.
Thank you everyone. The stalking still continues. I am taking the time to make screen shots of the activity and I am dealing with it all through Pogo. Yesterday it was three different people. Guys, this behavior is so cringeworthy. Following people is a waste of time. Sitting there and reading people's profile's and badge albums for any reason is boring.
I would like to thank the former forum member who bopped in here to mention the "petition" after being missing in action since March. Very slick. I'm going to miss you like a cold sore.
Mar, get someone to explain to you what an ip address is. When you come to chat and you "think" no one knows it is you, um, reach a little further into the cluebag. We are live in there and we don't always have our party manners on.
Following people in Pogo and hoping to impress Jodie Foster is bad, mmmkay? Get a life, Google it if you have to.
Jodie FooOOOooster is on Pogo ??? lol :P
Glad to see ya back in one piece barbara ;)
good to see you couldn't stay away from us Barbara. Here's is a cuppiecake with sprinkles for ya. ;)
Thanks! The sugar will help.
my pleasure
hi all. im soooooo sorry to hear about how people are treating you barb. i have know you for almost 9 months now. you are a GREAT person. you have helped me many times. we even had an issue, but we resolved it and i am extremely glad to know you and i can call you an acquaintance/friend. just keep your head up and try not to let the ingorance of others bring you down.
