Okies.....I discovered this last night. I'm sure this would also work with the autos, though you may have to babysit them.
Go into a public room (the more people that venture in and out the more rank you will obtain).
Set your table to have no cursed stones. If you are good at phlinx, you can sit and bust rocks for long periods of times. With two good players you can make one game go on for a long while.
Last night I tried this method and was very impressed. I had a round last me for about 15 to 20 minutes. When the game was over my rank was over 3000 pts.
If you do this with strictly bots, you will gain about half that for rank pts. Just leave the room open for people to join. When you get a few people, just let yourself die so they can join. It's having the people play with you that really increases your rank. As long as you have people joining and replacing bots that haven't bombed out yet, you're rank is that much better off.
Also, you're not dealing with cursed stones and targets and such. You're simply playing a nonstop round of phlinx. Making the big drops will really help your rank pts. I went from rank 6 to rank 7 in less than a half hour.
Thank you for that info. It would be you to find it out jsut like you did for pz. Thank you so much, now I might be able to catch up with Barbara and Homer in the ranks. LOL
This is the best tip I have ever used I got my first spin b/c of this tip and I am now rank one Thank you so very much O0
Good Job keep upi the good work.
Do you get more points playing hte faster settings? btw i just made rank 5........woohoo got the first badge

I'm so glad you are finding this useful :) I am 99% sure that it doesn't matter what speed setting you go by. Actually, in the FAQ on 'how to play' it says that speed doesn't matter where rank in concerned. It also says that cursed stones don't count towards rank pts. until they have tranformed into other stones. Even then, you have to drop three or more at a time. Why bother going to all the added trouble, lol? I really appreciate the kind words and it's made my weekend alot nicer. Thanx so much.....Let's get some ranks in so we're ready for word whomp. O0
Thanks Adric. I am too lazy to read the how to play section. lmao
yes i would definately recommend the above mentioned tip......i set a table using no curse stones and allowed people to come and go as they pleased and i just played and played and when everyone died but me i had 1050 rank points towards the next rank....when i have been playing in a room with curse stones and pranks etc, i was only getting 200-300 points per game.....
Also, it's best to go into the fullest rooms you can grab a table at. People are more apt to join you. The size of your rank at the end of the game will highly depend on the number of live players in the room with you. If you have all four seats full of people, you are going to make some sweet rank pts. It's all about the people and the big drops.

If you mean autos, the answer is no in my case. I'm sure you can do it with though. If you're lucky enough to have three other friends join you that's great. If you and three others that have an auto all get together and form a private room, I'm sure you could make several ranks in a matter of hours. Other than that, I'm not familiar with any cheat.
I'm not far behind max. I'm at 10 with about 13,000 to go to 11. :(
Halfway to rank 11. This is going to be more tedious than Lottso.
I'd rather get my back waxed than finish this game. LOL
I'd rather get your back waxed than to finish this game too Homer, lol.
Oh sure.....at my expense. LOL :P
Ok, I would rather have someone toss me a piano than to finish this. Better?
I still think I lose. LOL ???
Um, is your back Ed Rendell like? I saw him at the opening of a public pool once and I thought to myself, "Why is this man wearing a sweater?" I was aghast when I noticed that he was shirtless.
No! LOL
Not even close. He's looks like a hairy gorilla. :o
I'm half way to level 12.
Of course I still have to reach levels 7-12 ;D
Had me confused for a minute Bill. ???
I'm going to hire someone to get them for me :P
Right now it looks like ardic is the one to hire!!! LOL

Ha ha.....I'm going to rank 15 and I'm done. That game annoys me to no end and plays horrible on my computer in a full room even on road runner. That's okay though. I have a sneaking gut feeling that penguins is going to be as lame as harvest. It even looks like it to an extent, only with atari 2600 graphics.

penquin blocks might be cool since the little guy is named bob and i have yet to be let down by a bob ;D
this new tip is basically the same as what i said the day after the game came out and i have to say it works! I just got over 4000 points in one game!
Okies, sorry all gone.
Excellent tip! I am going to test it out later on tonight. I'll let ya know how it works out. O0 O0

Play this game with Sun Java. If you use msjava, it plays like a glacier in molassess. :D
Runs just fine here in MS Java
mine runs good on sun, except every few hours i get the cripes error. Not sure if its Pogo or if its my comp...nonetheless, has slowed progress considerably only on rank 12 now.

Mine does not seem to win a whole lot of games, perhaps I don't have the game set up quite right....any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! O0
I am only on level 7 >:( :-[
got to rank 7. I am so impatient i wish i was done this game, any glitches this would be a good game for a glitch lol

boy, do I know this feeling! The game just started and I already HATE it ! ! :P
when I'M playing and its against others, i set it up as Adric said (with no curse stones) so game play is like actual phlinx and get major rank points that way.
When i use the auto, as soon as the auto starts i pause it and slow it down one line and then start it and runs fine for a few hours till i get the cripes error(once again, not sure if that is Pogo or my comp) hope this helps.
I may download VM at some point in time and try that, BUT Adric has some nice hints to this game as to what gets u what.
Also, I wanted to ask Oscar if their are any plans to update Montu so that it uses Power stones? That may help with the winning ratio. Just a thought ;)
Rank 15 on VM with no problems. :P
I use the sun java 2 and it plays fine for me. Unfortunately, (and this hurts my own advice), it runs badly if I play in a room with more than 30 people. It's still doable, barely.

You got the second badge before I did? Congratulations! I just hit rank 13. I get booted every night with a Pogo cripes error. Max is on the verge of rank 18.
Some Badge Fairy you are. :P j/k
I don't even deserve the title anymore. From this day forth, I wish to be known as the Badge Slacker.
So it is written...so it shall be done. :P
I just hope my replacement doesn't make me look too bad.

Ok Thanks for the reply
NO NO NO NO NO
Barbara IS, has been, and ALWAYS will be "The Badge Fairy"
She may behind on her battle badges but tell me of someone else here on this forum that makes badges appear in their albums like magic?
That is the magic of "The Badge Fairy"
Heck Barbara, if I was not waiting for penguins to get the 2 for 1 price I would run an auto with you so we could have 2 live players increasing your rank points.
As long as this game sounds I might still be their to help.
Run Barbara run
Thanks for making me smile. These mobile badges are getting on my nerves. Pogo was slick when they released the Turbo 21 tm first with it being the easiest. Poppit is actually fun. Maybe I was just spoiled by using an auto in Tri Peaks and I just don't know how to play well.
Hey Badge Slacker you need to get going on those badges.
P.S. I am very disappionted in you not being done with Battle Phlinx yet!!!(https://www.pogocheats.net/proxy/?http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/grimace.gif)
For those who don't have any problems with speed with msjava.. what kind of PC setup do you have? I'm running a p4 2.5ghz with 1 gig of ram and definitely have slowdown issues with Battle Phlinx (and Squelchies, too).
Maybe I don't have the latest msjava.. anyone know what the latest version is and where to get it? (MS doesn't seem to offer it from what I can tell.)
Look in the club center.

MS no longer offers Java due to a legal problem with Sun, although MSVM (Virtual Machine) can be downloaded through links available in this forum and elsewhere. There is no "updated version" of MSVM, Battlephlinx works with Sun Java though. If you must use MSVM, make sure your advanced settings have ONLY "JIT Compiler" checked and not "Use Sun Java". Other possible reasons for slowdown include your video card (I use an nvidia 256 meg card) and programs running in the background. You have more than enough ram and CPU to run these programs efficiently.
Well, I have a GeForce FX 5700 (128 meg) video card. It's not a sleaux meaux like me. :D Only other thing running when I play is Trillian (ad-free instant messenger and it uses very little ram). Had the Sun Java problem described below with an older card, too.
Sun Java works best for me, but I have a glitch on it where half the chat text (and some games text) have the top half of the letters cut off. Tried to get Pogo to address it, but apparently, my system is the only one in the known universe to exhibit this issue. O0 Lucky me! Remind me to never buy a Dell again (It's 3 years old now.)

Wtg on the new version and it uses the stones as well. I just let it run for an hour and did not lose 1 game. You all are THE Best!!! O0
i find battle phlinx without curse stones very boring. its no different from regular phlinx. targeting people and beating them out of the competition is the fun part, otherwise its just a never ending game of phlinx (snoozefest).
playing competitive with stones and humas, i'm able to rack up 400-800 rank points/game, depending on how long it lasts and how many stones i drop. just have to clear a path, then pile them up skyhigh real fast, and when the magic color comes up drop them all. i'm able to clear over 200 stones/game. plus it makes you climb into the power modes faster so you can control how the other players are doing. dont gang up on one person and eliminate them, the longer they stay in the more points you get.
hi all hope all id doing good ok question what is the best way to get the battle phlinx to give good scoring i have done team and alone but still not doing to get and yes using the auto by the way it does an awesome job was just wondering is there another way to get higher scoring thanks for any info you can give O0
Grrrr.... ive tried to do this tip and still doesnt work for me. When i play the game.. the most rank points I get is like 250 >:( What am i doing wrong ?
