I just ran into someone who has the Ride the Tide..Catch A Wave badge. Does anyone have a clue how they got this? It hasn't came out yet. :-\
Yes, it is a pogo glitch.... I myslef have gotten 4 of them actually was just coming on this site to post the findings if it hadn't already been posted.
I guess Pogo made a screw up... if you go into Ride the Tide, 50 + Temp Room 191 you can get the badge O0

But please note after you do get the "Ride the tide badge" on the home page of pogo it will say you have 0 of the 500 needed for bingo, but if you ck your badge album your bingo badge should still be there
Now I see someone saying something about the Euchre badge but not saying what room. Don't know how true it is. If anyone knows please post.
Thanks
i haven't heard a peep out of eurche. If anyone does they do post it for all. I'm assumeing the ride the tide glitch is still very much working becuase the room is still showing up full. Since it happened over the weekend I didn't expect pogo to catch it but now thats its Monday, I expect pogo to catch this glitch and fix it fairly quickly so get while you can.

I got it in that room, but was told by others that they also got it when they were not in that room.....who knows...all I care about is that I got it! ;D
it's still working. I got the badge. GL all.
i got my badge for ride the tide catch the wave gl all in trying to get it.
its been said over and over again but you do NOT have to be in that one certain room to the the badge!! AND you will STILL have your bingo badge, people just don't check their badge books afterwards!
As of 5 min ago when I was playing --it was not working anymore, I didn't get the badge-guess pogo fixed it :(
I was working on it for a friend just now and it doesn't work. I guess Pogo fixed it. Just passing it along that the glitch is fixed for now.
i'm glad ya'll who got it got it....any word on if pogo has banned anyone 3 days yet? If they do like I said they going to have to ban a heck of a lot of people
I haven't heard anything about anyone being banned. And I'm not banned. so far, so good. They better not ban people. Its not my fault they forgot to change it! I didn't even go in there looking for the badge. I just clicked the play now and started playing the other day and ended up with the badge. They can't exactly ban people for playing their games properly! Although, that said, it is pogo. you just never know..
yea I know thats how I found the glitch, I just clicked play now and got one ride the tide and though whoa, what the???!!??? I know I did tell people about it, and I know others told their friends about it....but it does make ya wander how many people didn't know about the glitch and just wondered on in
Keyword there is Pogo and if Pogo does decide to ban the ones that got this badge there looking to lose alot of members over something that was their fault in the first place.
They probabally wont do anything anyways but then again as the game show saying goes DON''T press your luck lol
I got nervous that I may get banned so I emailed pogo and told them I just happened to be playing and the badge popped up. Here was their response to my email:
Hi there,
Thank you for contacting Club Pogo Support.
Recently, due to technical issues with Ride the Tide, we had to replace an intended Ride the Tide challenge with a challenge in Fortune Bingo. When this change was made, some of the rooms were not properly updated to remove the challenge in Ride the Tide, so some people were able to earn credit towards the challenge and receive the badge.
The rooms that were allowing progress for that replaced challenge have been re-configured to stop allowing progress in the Ride the Tide challenge. If you did not earn the Ride the Tide badge prior to the changes, you will lose any progress earned. If you earned the badge prior to the changes, you will be able to keep the badge. When that challenge is released to the entire site, the players who have already earned the badge will be able to earn it again if they choose.
We apologize for any confusion or frustration this issue may cause.
Sincerely,
Pogo Rubens

That sounds way nicer than I would have expected them to be! At least they seem to have a little bit of common sense about the issue. Thats rare!
wow they are actually being nice about a glitch for once...
Maybe someone there is having a good day for once! lol
It wasn't such a big deal I guess. ;)
LOL I know it's not that funny....but everyone was freaking out about getting it and what would happen....it's nice to see that they can now have an answer.
I got to thinking....way back when their was that rainy day spider glitch..I stumbled across that by accident as well. I remember I would get into a room than I'd get booted seconds by pogo, guess they were haveing server burps or something, but anyway every time I went back in I noticed my rank would go up. I though COOL. So I room hopped until I got all the badges for that game then did the weekly challenge. Yet strangely they banned people then for 3 days but now they are not. Just my 2 cents.
thanks sd for info O0
it does seem they aleast they did say they did have a glitch in ride the tide but RDS for banning ppl when it was there glitch not right
that was before not now and from i heard about rds people where talkin all over openly in chat that is againest there rules they said thats why people got 72 hour banned or lost there accts.. :)
ya that is true but they talk all the time in other room on the golf glitch and tell them how to do it if it is a glitch in golf but pogo got it rules but no one should of told in the chat i do see your point there private chat maybe but they can see that to
wow. At least now I wont be worried. I thought that we would all probably get the badge taken.. Oh well. I wonder if when the badge is really released if the date redeamed will change?
well we did spread it around like the pogo flu
It may be easy for pogo to take one persons badge, but can you imagine what a head ache it would be to track down every single ride the tide badge then remove it? They don't have the man power. This one was completely different from the spider one. Maybe some people didn't know about the spider one at first, but if you remember, it almost was enough to make you sick, watching the people coming and going in those rooms. I almost went cross-eyed.
I think that the ones that got banned over it were either reported by some do gooder or talked about it in front of the wrong people.
I know I got mine and still have it. It was kind of nice to have a couple of games that were close to badges, so that I could move those spider ones down a bit.
