Whatever happened to the game word riot, i used to play that game all the time, then i didn't go on pogo for a couple of months and when i went back on pogo, it was gone, no trace at all. It was my favorite game and i was really gutted that it disappeared :(
i heard 2 differnt things 1 there was y too much fighting going on
and 2 they didn't want to waste money keeping it up
so i don't know even if either one is true cause i loved that game too
i heard from quite a few people that they are trying to bring that game back to pogo. I dont know if its a rumor or not, as i havent played that game, because i dont think it was available when i started in pogo.
oh i hope they do, i really did like that game
A bunch of us word rioter got together and paid a programmer to come up with a game simialr to wordriot. Its called Wordtopia. If you'd like info on how to join us...send me an E-mail
admin edit use pm feature
does it cost money, if it dosen't I will join.
If at first you don't succeed, don't try again!
WordRiot was the only game i played in Pogo :'( All of us Wordies got together to convince Pogo to keep it,to no avail!!! But sureeeeeee GBayou opened not long after Riots demise >:(
Some1 tell me the purpose of bug swatting?I got your bugs!!!!! At least w/ Riot you learned,it was truly a community..Too bad,Pogo,ya dun us wrong!!!!!
I would be interested in wordtopia i loved wordriot.

:(Thats too bad Barb..ss.. It was a group thing,and we made many friends there..I have to admit,i'm guilty of the "Boot" button..there were a few boothappy people,but,on the whole,a gr8 bunch..All one had to do was ask for help,and they got it.It was the " how do ya play this game{never read HOW TO PLAY},or i just wanna watch" people that spoiled it for most.You can't watch in Riot,lol
We had many dutch/french people play there,it helped them w/ their language skills.They were teriffic..I tried WordTopia.. its not even close to Pogos Version :(
Also, i am proud to say,i got booted my first time,I room hopped after that,til i caught on{ain't no way,no how,that was gonna happen to me again 8)
I've been on Pogo for a looooong time and I don't remember Word Riot (I was a bingo junkie). How did you play it?

Two teams of up to 10 people each, one clue giver, and you have to give a clue for your team to guess the mystery word.... kind of like password but for a group

If you are asking about Pogo's version of Word Riot, they have removed the game from their line up. I can think of 5 games that they could drop to bring back Word Riot, Swashbucks being one of them.
Let me add Greenback "what is the point of this game" Buyou to that list!

Could that frog game be more annoying?
i agree barbara. if that frog game gets any more annoying and borriiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg, PLEASE DONT tell me. i see absolutely no point in that game whatsoever. ::)

Wouldn't you like to see the little dice derby cars ride right across that lily pad?
that would b sooooooooo cool too see. ??? 8) :P :D ;). i got my little red car, "Here little froggie" ;) 8)
Quote from: Barbara on January 20, 2005, 08:47:08 AM
Use the green car so he won't see you coming. He will think that you are just another froggie, stopping by to say "Hello!"
lol. Yet another cute funny you made Barbara. I almost fell outta my chair, but its a recliner now, so I cant! lmao ;)
You go Barbara, run that green dice derby car right off that dang gum lily pad and throw both those games away. Even in Louisiana I can probably get a frog to eat a firefly a lot faster than I can get it in Greenback Bayou.....LOL.
Word Riot was the best game ever! We ruled most of the 20's rooms and harassed people in the teen rooms, argh! I could see about 20 games from Pogo being dropped just to bring back Riot, although I'm sure its just a rumor that its coming back, however that would be some sweet justice. >:D
It's been way too long since I've been able to play word riot! I too was booted my first time into one of the harder rooms, but I learned how to play quickly and always had tons of fun!
Before I knew it, I was pressing "d" with the best of em
*sigh*
The only bad point (for some ppl) about the game was that it was so fast-paced that you either have to be a quick study (learn while playing the game) *or* look up how to write the different clues online, (on your own time.) This wasn't a huge problem for me, but I could see how some ppl wouldn't like that aspect. But if pogo does bring it back, PLEASE learn how to use the different clues before venturing into a room!
---no abc's--- anyone?
I played word riot when I first became a Club Member and I stunk at it. I keep going back to the same room and before long everyone in the room was helping me out and even if I put something in backwords they were telling me how fast I learned the game. I do not want to say that the people in the room and on my team were lying, but just a great bunch of friends that helped me learn the game the hard way and gave me praise while doing so. I sure do hope they bring back word riot.

I have to agree with u. it took me about a week to learn the hard way. it is but it aint a hard game to learn. i could never get into the same room 2x. i found there r 4 ways to play. 1 - use abc. 2 - use for real clues. 3 - every other letter. 4 - spell word backwords. i found that the 1st thing i did when entering a room after saying hello all i would ask which way are they playing. i do have to admit 9 times outta 10 after letting room know i was new at the game, they were more than willing to help me learn the game - but by me being a real fast learner makes a world of difference. ;).
I played word riot for about 3 months. Then I didn't log in for about 2 months and pogo changed every thing. :(. I waited for a long time to find a game that was as good as word riot, but i did just recently find one. :o :o It's acctually more like win lose or draw, but it's a great game. If you liked word riot, why not go to www.isketch.net and see if you like the game too. O0
