Last night I left my Turbo 21 on overnight but I changed room before going to bed at 3 am.
When I woke up this morning I had a "lovely" message from a SNITCH. >:(
The title of the email was "Running Auto", and the message was " You have been reported to Ea and Pogo ". Short and sweet.
Dont these people have anything better to do?
Well, I am not waiting for Pogo to ban or block me. However, dont they have to verify that I am running auto before banning or blocking my account since that snitch may just be a troublemaker and make fake reports. My winning percentage is just over 50%. If the snitch tried to say wtg or chat............. I dont chat on Turbo 21. Too fast a game. If they say I played too many games overnight, hey I cannot sleep after all those turkey meals. lol
You ran turbo overnight without a break? I sincerely hope that you don't get your account blocked or banned. As for the turkey "keeping you up all night" You might want to rethink that one as an excuse. The amino acid found in turkey, triptophan causes sleep, not prevents it. How many hours did you run your auto unattended?
I don't know how pogo goes about situations like this, but turbo isn't the best game to run an auto on, alteast unattended, because of the high scores list and the flashing. I hope it works out for ya tho, i wish people would just mind their own biz...
If you do really want to leave your auto on all night, I'd recommend using RoomRover (http://www.badgehelp.com/rover/RoomRover.exe). It can be set to stop any auto you are running after a certain period of time, or change to a new room.

Anyway, I went to bed at 3am in the morning. So it is not like I left it overnight from 10pm.
Good luck! Serioulsy, room rover sounds perfect for you! Mmmm, pie!

would it stop popbuddy? and restart it in another room?
I'm not sure.. you could give it a try and see, though. :)

Not for everyone:) Turkey doesn't make me sleepy at all:) Depends on your chemistry:)
As for the busy bodies I know Pogo might appreciate them, but to me unless you work for Pogo someone sitting around viewing peoples stats just to get them into trouble are worse than anyone using an auto could ever be. I see those snitches as vermin. They are doing the very same thing those people used to do on AOL that would bombard your computer with IM's until your computer shut down. They are kicking you off by Pogo's own rules and Pogo is allowing it. Even with AOL you get a warning if they think you've done something wrong. These people should be in just as much trouble as anyone using an Auto.

Let us know what happens. I would like to know if you have been blocked or banned. :(

I don't have popbuddy but it might work as long as you leave the auto running. ;)

Hahaha, this particular snitch was so free that he not only reported to Pogo but took the time to send me an email , telling me that he reported me to pogo for using auto.
My winning percentage is 12% so I really don't think I have anything to worry about. And I had mine running all last night and all day today. ;)
There are a lot of busybodies in pogo. A lot of them don't even seem to play. In addition to the cautions already provided by others I would recommend that you monitor rooms before you auto them. I know for a fact that there are many rooms in t21 where the wtg's are a test rather than an actual congratulation... Run an auto in a room and watch it for an hour. See what happens.
Better yet, Room Rover seems like an excellent option. will be giving it a try here tonight...

I made a guy mad the other night. Although I was using an auto I am right by the computer so I can see if my programs shut down or have problems and he made a similar WTG comment followed by the various cheater comments not directly to me, but at the room in general. I figured he was looking to start trouble, so I finally posted a reply that said, "Just because I don't want to chat means nothing. Gaming and chatting don't exactly mix. How can you play well if you are chatting? I don't know about you but I'd pay for the service so I can play and not specifically to chat." Very wordy I know, but since they are hanging everyone who doesn't chat it upset me.
Excellent answer! I bet they didn't expect that. Actually, it probably flusters them when someone does answer. :)
Thanks Barbara. I'm getting tired of these people they are worse than the complaints they have over the macros. It makes me wonder what kind of person gets pleasure out of sitting around all day just turning folks in. Although it would be nice if all of us could turn them in for making those statements/promoting or whatever and give them a taste of their own medicine.
Noy only that Scarlette, did they ever think that maybe we are in private chat and we don't want to speak to them?
LOL Barbara Excellent point:)
Also what's bad is that pogo just runs in for them and boots whoever they "THINK" is using an auto with really no proof of it. I play pogo most days all day and not just with autos to now see that someone might not like that I am sitting playing for longer than they "THINK" I should just seems like a big joke and really Pogo needs a good lawsuit against them if they can prove cheating fine, but if they are going strictly on these people's word is negligible on their part.
This would be difficult to say the least.
But if a auto chat feature that would respond to WTGs could be developed, it would reduce the number of reports.
Jeffer is a statistic freak, not a computer freak. But thinking about this idea makes him nauseous....
Jeffer, don't get me wrong here. I like the way you think and you have an interesting concept. Sometimes when you reply you tend to get asked questions that you can't answer if you had an auto reply. That is unless you could have the following options locked and loaded:
1) Wow, you are right, that does sound infected.
2) Your Mother's basement? And HBO? Sweet!
3) Add me to your friend's list? Sure, I've already added you.
4) I would love to play 50 games of gin for you and let you win.
5) My cell phone number? Um, get a pen.
6) Yes, I have IM, why do you ask?
7) I agree, your ex sounds like a real basket case.
8) Pogo petitions? I love Pogo petitions! Bring 'em on!
9) No, I do not think you are paranoid. Many people enter my home while I am away to rearrange things and then put them back in their exact place.
10) Jeans and a blue sweater, why do you ask?
and on another note why does pogo have the feature " Turn off chat" ? lol
If we couldn't turn off chat how would we know that (screen name) ImANewbieSignedUpToday won the Wal Mart $25.00 gift card in their second game of Swashbucks? Just kidding, wtg winners!
To Barb... I wish I could put a lol til I barf icon out there...
Just an idea... Iknow, Iknow....
Ran into more of them tonight. WTG and why isn't anyone talking? Sure is quiet, etc... How do any of you use the WWW considering all of these people out there? I tried for about a minute and the first one I did showed up on the high score list, so I can't find a way to set the auto to run without me there now with all the busy bodies getting in our business...
I don't see how anyone uses MoleMiner (no offense whatsoever) because most of them aren't smart enough to realize that if you click "New Game" You get a better percentile than you would letting MoleMiner run, hit take score, munch all carrots, and make it obvious to be an auto. Don't get me wrong here, but it's not so smart to run WWW auto, I prefer to do it on my own, I'm not the only one on this forum, right Barb? LOL

Jeffer, I like this idea very much! I am sitting here, wondering what this would look like, lol.

I agree with you here Lost. Or should I call ya Dark? :P These people aren't that bright. I actually went to Clickers last night and honey, I'm telling ya, it looked like the bar scene from the original Star Wars movie. No one could actually think that you and I have time to cheat at this game because of all the yammering we do in there. Hey, you started it! I have to get that rank back to zukkie 20 before Pogo extends those ranks. I'd like to kick the person who talked me into resetting my stats. Wait, that was me, n/m.
Um Homer, why is your little smiley guy yodeling groceries?
It's a barf icon. :P
I know, I am just curious what gave your little guy a tummy ache :P
Too much turkey. :)
Been there, done that, broke the wishbone!

The WTG's don't mean anything anyway, a lot of people have their chat turned off. So just cuz they don't respond does that mean they are using an auto? No.

Exactly. I wrote an email to pogo telling them certain people are "harassing" us cos if we dont chat or reply to them they report us as using auto. Pogo's reply: Please MUTE the members that you do not wish to chat or have your chat filter on (not exact words) or have your chat off.
Now if Pogo takes action when those snitches report the use of autos or suspicion of use of auto, cos people dont chat, then Pogo should give the members the benefit of the doubt cos the advice was to ignore the chat or to mute those "busybodies".
my son likes to play some of the games when I am busy and I do not like him to chat(he is 13) and so when he plays I turn chat off and then when I return I usually forget to turn it on again( conveniantly!)
i just tell these people that im a 11 year old little girl ( im not) but anyway
i tell em im 11 and a girl, and if they dont stop trying to talk to me i will go get my daddy, because he told me never to talk to strangers on the computer
hee hee that kinda freaks em out, i did have a perv thou once want to talk nasty to me, i told him i was a cop lol and ya i did report him kinda made me sick
Personally, I only use MM if I can be close enough to the computer to see the chat screen. So, I just set the auto, watch a movie or something, and if someone tries to chat with me, I just say it's too hard for me to chat and play that silly game.
It's gotten people to shut up.
However, I am also guilty of leaving MM on all night, coming home with a fabulous winning streak, and not getting one comment.
But, I'm a rebel. What can I say? ;)
