I just thought everyone should know this. One of my friends just told me about playing dominoes with an agent last night and they got booted and a window came up saying "server has detected an illegal playing device"....
I guess Pogo has finally figured out a way to detect them so be careful!

>:( >:( >:( Oh my goodness.....I played dominoes last night and had no problem except my auto kept freezing me in the room and I lost progress.....I'm hoping it was a fluke CrazyMan and pogo does not do this :'( :'(
I also got this window with the message "server has detected an illegal playing device".... :o
ive yet to get a message like that :)
Me either thankfully.......it would freak me out enough to actuallly make me play by hand for a few hours!! :))
I really only run an auto once a month: Jigsaw badges so if I can avoid it every 1st... then I'm a happy camper!
I ran the auto earlier yesterday and didn't get any messages. Dice Derby ran all night and was still running at 11a.m today. This is only the second time that I have ever left one on all night. Had the badge ;D ;D
I was really dreading that game. I've tried several times to get it and gave up. THEN I bought five of a kind, I don't know how many 600's I got but had the badge sitting there waiting for me and the auto was still playing away.
Very good job BH! O0

Yeah, there was a lot of buzz about this in one of the Tri-Peaks rooms...
*****THIS IS PURE SPECULATION***** but the person was saying that Pogo is trying this out at first on the weekly challenge games. This person said that Pogo is using a "time metric" to determine the average playing time of a completed game, regardless of win/loss. If games are consistently being finished at a faster rate than they feel they should be, they send in their "java probe" to see what's going on.
*****AGAIN, THIS IS JUST SPECULATION*****
i was using my auto for tri peaks yesterday afternoon and nothing at all happened.
I also ran the auto for the tri peaks challenge..in fact 3 of them, and nothing came up... phew.
I took dot bot to dominoes after reading this post ran it on fast setting played 10 games and did not get booted or receive any messages
This makes me mad. I mean really, what frickin harm are we causing by getting badges via autos. Its not like I can use badges/tokens like greenpoints to buy a new coffeepot or something! We all know that if you win anything and you have ever used autos, they aren't gonna give you the prize...and its not like they give the prize to someone else if an auto user forfeits it. So how is pogo really losing out here? I think they have bigger fish to fry...like perhaps someday putting out shufflebump or giving my mini some frickin cute shoes!
What the eff is wrong with them?
friend was using another webpage to get words (not an auto) for the spelling games and they was booted from the room after every other game...
This probe....Is it like the one the aliens used on Cartman? :))

LoL, did anyone see South Park last night? I thought it was too funny how the chopped up Chef's old comments and strung it together to make sentences. Oh, and they didn't hide the fact they were sliced in. It was too funny!
I saw the last 10 minutes. If you read the underlying message they were still diggin' on the scientologists. :P :))

I don't think they're going to stop with the SciNyes (as we like to call 'em... don't know why since "nye" isn't in their name at all) but I did enjoy the show. Can't wait for the repeat or this season on DVD!
Probably a reference to Bill Nye the science guy. :))

I have db'ed many times doing it for the word games and never had a problem. Last time was for QWERTY.

had my tripeaks auto running all night last night, woke up but had no message or booted
Well at least we know why Shuffle Bump isnt coming out. Theyre too busy trying to stop us badge hounds!!
My freind was caught in wonder land memories. They took his badges away and ratings in games it sucked for him.
