Ok.. I've been wanting to this for a while, so here goes.
Pinochle has five (5) rated, game award badges. I wanted to create this club for anyone interested in getting those badges. For every game you play and win, you have to play a game and lose with a non-club or a secondary account. Anyone who wants to sign up, do so here:
1. SunnyLibra
2. Foxx
3. Tigereyes
4. Sassy
5. Rowdy
6. BluRaven
7. lmazzettia (Saturdays and nights)
8. Kearny (No Mondays, has extra passes)
9. PogoSlave
10. Bobby
11. knightrider13195 (anytime)
12. CindyLouWho (flexible)
13. Mama (Anytime but in the mornings, EST. Only needs Masters)
14. lOcO (mornings and all day Sunday and Monday)
15. tmonsteriii (anytime - needs masters)
Once we get a bunch of people signed up, we'll do a schedule so everyone knows where to meet to play. I was thinking playing once a week for an hour. If anyone else has any suggestions, please... go ahead, I have no idea what I'm doing, really! :))
Good Idea Lib!
I will have to finally break down and make a second account, I guess. I really want that master's badge.

Well, I've got two accounts and I want the badge for both of them.. I'll use the boyfriends account to lose! O0 Just create an account for Mr. Foxx.
I need to get all the rated badges. I will sign up to do this. I can also make another name if I need to. Just let me know what I need to do.
I'm interested - I just need my masters badge :) Let me know where to go and what to do lol :;'
i have a second account as well but not to sure how many days are left on it but would love to get those badges if only on my main account so count me in.
I'm down
i'm game! i'll use his acct to loose :))
Count me in O0
I'm in but can't commit to anything regular until the end of July.

I think I've modified the original post to include everyone. If you've been left out, let me know.
I can't play during the day because I'm at work, and I'm on and off too much. I know that there are people all over the country in different time zones, so we need to think of a day and time to do this. If y'all would let me know a day and a time frame (please try and be as flexible as possible) then I can set up the teams accordingly.
I think the best way to do this is two partners agree to lose a couple of games so the other partners in their teams can win a couple, and then the partners switch accounts, allowing the others to win a couple.
I'll set up the teams when I know when everyone is available, etc. Also, could you let me know whether you have two accounts or not? I have an account that can be used for your losing turn if you only have one account. If anyone else is willing to share a losing account, please let me know.
Like I said, I really don't know what I'm doing, so if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this less complicated, let me know. I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be! :))
I'm available on Saturday anytime after 4:00 EST. O0
this is a great idea so please sign me up. O0 i can't play til after saturday tho cause having my grand daughters big graduation party at my house this weekend so real busy til after that. i'll be able to play day or night, just fit me in where needed, lol. :)

Ok.. so days, weekends and Friday nights?
If Yinz (tm Nanners) is up late, let me know.. In case someone overseas wants to play. :P
:)) I am up all night sometimes lol - and I know my ball schedule for the next few weeks unless we get rained out and we usually make them up on Saturdays but hopefully that won't happen. I can give you my ball schedule if you like :;'
all day and night fri and sat.. the rest of week after 3:30 pacific time and do you mean we win 2 under name that needs masters then switch to loser names then lose 2 then switch back to real name???

Well, I think there's another person that only needs the masters.. So, I'll pair the two of you up together if your schedules coincide. After you the two of your get the Masters badge, if you don't mind losing a couple of times, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. O0
after i get masters i`ll give the 2000 plus to any one who needs them O0

Ok.. Let's do a trail run. If it doesn't work, well, then, we'll try again! O0
Schedule is for Saturday, June 10th at 8:00 p.m. EST. Anyone who wants in, let me know. Also, let me know what rank you are, so I know who to pair you with. If you don't know how to play, well... Go LEARN! LMAO! Just kidding. Seriously, if you don't know how to play, let me know, I'll play some rounds with you and teach you.. It's really easy and besides, the best way to learn is just play. Maybe I should post a tutorial or something. :-\
Ok, Saturday, June 10th, 8:00 pm, EST will be Game One! If more than four people sign up for this game, then we'll make Game Two. We'll play in the social category in the Bubble Bath room. Once you sign up, I'll team up everyone and PM you the password.
Gawd, I hope this works. LMAO! :))
i like this but i need you all to do it cause i have a really hard time with this game i donot understand it at all but would like the badges please add me only if someone can get tara to do my account since i donot understand this game

Well... Like I said, I'm game for suggestions! Any members that have and can leave a Pinochle auto on all night, I'll set it up! Be kinda interesting to see where you stood in the morning...... :-\
if we start a tournament we don't just have to have it in pinochle, we could try others and see how it works out :)
lol that is wayyy to funny, kinda true though. I'm rank 12 rating 1413 :(

Maybe I could be the wrong person to say this and maybe it's none of my business but are you OFFERING someone else's service to get YOUR badges? I know being nice is one thing but I personally believe you're taking Tara's previous offer to help you out kinda far. I know someone might say "it's none of your business" or "we've already talked about this and you don't know what you're talking about" or something else along those lines but from what I've ready from ya, pugsly in the last few weeks is "I don't have time to get any of my badges and I'm going to make someone get them for me" but then you're on here a lot. If you're on the site so much, you clearly have time to get some badges on your own.
Now I know I could be completely in the wrong but it's just my observations and I could be reading things wrong.
rank 50 = 1609 rating those cheaters in there keep kicking me down every time i get over 1800 >:(
aw sorry mama. i never play pinochle anymore unless i cheat. >:D

I have to agree with Hippo on this one. Unless you are Tara's personal secretary and she has given you express permission to speak on her behalf, Only Tara has the Right/Privilege to offer/deny her services to anyone for any reason. For anyone else to do so shows a blatant disrespect for the person who is being used, bartered and taken advantage of (in this case Tara). I'm sorry to sound so harsh but Tara has been nothing but kind, generous and darned entertaining since she became a part of pc.net, and I think she deserves to be treated in kind by us.
For those who do not know how to play a particular game, all of pogo's games have "How to play this game" buttons. You need to click them, read them and then practice until you have the basics down. 95% of the time you will become knowledgeable enough about the game to then join in on things like the Pinochle club and not have to rely on someone to "do it for you". You will feel much better about your accomplishment in the end and you won't freak out the next time Pogo has a challenge in that game. ;)

Word to Hippo and PogoSlave. Word.
Lib...I can't play Saturday...we're entertaining...
But, for future reference, I have a rating of 1529 and I'm on rank 28. I have my Advanced badge...but not expert or master.
A word of caution about setting up a league.
It only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch and snitch to pogo. ;:"
Just thought I'd mention it. O0
I would like to offer my services, but only available in the mornings and all day Sun.'s and Mon.'s ;::
i am very interested, i am at rank 50 and need my expert, master's badge, i am available anytime, just let me know
good idea

Another thought....
You also need to be careful on the room you choose, as leagues are very possessive and don't like others running tourneys in their rooms. Perhaps the best way would be to pair folks off and let them go get their own room in whatever one they want rather than meeting in one specific room. Would avoid confrontations with the leagues. I know the majority of if not all the pino rooms are all are occupied by a league.

Totally agree with this. I had never played this game before Pogo...I read the "how to play" instructions :o ..imagine that..played a few games and found it's really very simple.
I totally agree with Homer ...I would be very careful. Good luck everyone on the rated badge quest ;)
I think I'm going to pass on a tourney. I'm not real big on them, but if anyone else wants to set one up, by all means, go for it! I just wanted to set this little deal up so I could get my intermediate - masters badges and help others get theirs at the same time. O0

Hey Lib? Back atcha in Pogomail...
I'm rank 20 and my rating is 1400 and something. I'm off and on during the day, so weekends are probably best for me.
i haven't even started on rank badges yet but the last time i pllayed the game i was at rank 20 almost to 21 and would love to get 1 or 2 of the rank badges and i do have 2 or 3 non member accounts i don't use but could throw into the mix if needed. Saturdays would be great for me to.
thanks homer i forget sometimes that some peeps like turnin peeps in thanks for remindin me O0

i fully agree. great point homer.
If anyone is still doing this, I would be very interested. I am at rank 40 and can run auto anytime, even all night. I have access to several accounts, and have all guest passes available. I would also be willing to do all of losing first then later get my wins, as I have NONE of the rank badges. Libra, PM me if this is still going on. :) FRANKS!
