Yuck!! Did you read what you had to have? I don't know if that's easy or not..lmao I don't think I've ever watched the auto play the game. I don't even know why that game is still on pogo. frankie.gif
greenback bayou..definitely yucky...battle phlinx and phlinx have to be two of the most boring games also that pogo has put out..i cant stand either one of those games..

lol I heard that and ditto!!!
I wondered if everyone's reaction was going to be similar to mine.. However, keep in mind that some of these may change. I am wondering if the Greenbacks Bayou one will as well as the Battle Phlinx one.
If they remain, I definitely will not be purchasing either of those two. Eight is enough, lol.
Can 30 Dice City games even be played in 4 hours? Average game is about 8 minutes (7 an hour time 4 = 28) Maybe it will be changed to Any of a kind. ... Also Greenback bites. I'll buy and wait 3 years for the upgrade then do it like I've done with sweet teeth, dominoes, etc.

Hi,
I think the Dice City challenge is probably doable by hand. I won't be doing it in an auction room.. they seem to be a little slower and every second is going to count with this.
IF a person concentrates only on that category of cards to the exclusion of the others, I think it is possible to do without too much stress. :)

Dice City goes fast if you play in the No Auction rooms.

So true, but sometimes "fast" is not very enjoyable or fun. Dice city, I like, and I prefer to do the auctions.

I prefer autions rooms as like to bid high on the extra dice auctions and ppl don 't like that. I don't care about getting so many tokens etc.
Where's Octobers at? :///
:/// hello pogo sometime today would be nice :///
I wouldn't count on it; I doubt we'll be getting them until next week.

The Nov. badges MAY be added tonight when Pogo goes down. The Dec. Mix and Match has two Christmas badges, which means that the December challenges will need to be online around the second week in December to give the people without cheat programs time enough to do them, LOLOL.
Here's hoping!!
will these mix and match be on time this month...
If sooo it would be great for this week tri-peaks badge

lmao .. it will probably be easy anyway
:^* They are out
22 gems for the pogo powl badge :o
Yup and it will no longer be available after the 28th

little much for a badge that's only available for a couple weeks
It's up to the individual as to whether they want the special Holiday badges. The Pogo Bowl challenge has a special and fully animated Thanksgiving badge. That's why it costs more.
Two of December's challenges are also 22 gems, and have special Christmas themed badges. They are very cute with lots of animation though.. I guess Pogo knows that some of us are suckers for Badges!! LOL.
Just finished the Pogo Bowl limited edtion badge in abouit 45 min. using the auto. Cute badge, too!
It was really easy, wasn't it? I got mine too, and am working on the others which can be done easily with an auto. LOL.
I think the Thanksgiving badge is really cute but I agree that Pogo has really hiked the price for the Mix and Match items in several ways now. But, since people have the option of buying or passing, I dont know why there should be any upset.
If the higher priced Mix and Match challenges dont sell, Pogo will change it somehow. Probably make us buy a group of the badges at what comes out to be a lower cost without coming right out and saying " We are lowering the price". Kind of like how they didn't tell us they were RAISING the prices!!!
Even Homer has to do the Dice City Roller one by hand.. :{:
1st let me say that I did buy all of the new badges. Second let me say that pogo is getting extremely $$$$$$ hungry. But i guess they have suckers like ME who will buy them. Good Luck everyone on your Mix and Match badges.

Supply and Demand, Capitalism, Greedy - call it what you want.... long as we are willing to pay, they will be happy to take our $$$. LOL
I think pogo should have a Platinum Membership in addition to free and regular club accounts.
The "Platinum" membership would get you everthing pogo releases that year. (Badge books, mix-n-match badges, all mini items free) With a "Platinum" membership you would not need gems for that year. I spend about $100/year on gems which I use only for badges. Then my club account costs an additional $40/year so I think a fair price for a package deal like that would be somewhere in the $100-$125 range.

Use the auto and check team play in your options when you make your table. You can play the bots.

I tried to do that and it told me I had to have real players.

Strange. I got mine against the bots.
I got mine with the bots too.
Just got mine against the bots too.
If you want to post your game table settings, maybe we can determine what you need to reset. It didn't take any time at all to get this badge, because the Robot partner won, not because the Miontu auto program did a thing.
I've finished all the others, got my weekly challenges done, and my Thanksgiving badge challenge finished. I did both Pogo Bowl and Tri Peaks separately from the weekly challenge. Forgot all about piggybacking them.
BTW, who all bought the Greenback Bayou challenge? I refused, on principle, to pay for the honor to play that nauseating dumb game. That was the only badge I haven't bought to date.. but next month's may have at least one that I don't buy.
It felt GOOD to just say " No" to Greenback Bayou, LOL.
I got my Greenback badge in one game. I got a JP spin for 1,000 :<<

I went back and looked and though I had chosen Team Play, I didn't click "Allow computer players to fill empty seats" just a little "DUH" LOL
I am weak. I bought all the challenges. :)))

I bought the game, used the trial from BH and got the badge in less than the 5 minutes. Try it that way and not buy the auto LOL
I now have the Greenback Bayou badge too. :)) :))
It only took about 4 minutes of the 15 allotted minutes, LOL. I'm such a Badge Ho.
