I've been using the Motor Queen Badge as my fave ever since I won it, I'll try to c & p it here. But I show my mini in game rooms so I don't really think too much about the mini icon that represents the badge, I do think that the icon should be animated if the badge is, tho!!!! That would be way kewl!!!

Pogo is down. It went down last night for a while and just now it shut down and now won't open again. Also, this board is running very very slow for me today. Anyone else? It's not my server or computer because other sites are just fine. Just this one and Pogo seem to hate me today. cwy cwy cwy cwy cwy cwy cwy.

I haven't had any trouble here. MSN has been acting up today. Sometimes the main page opens but if I try to do a web or image search it says it's not available. One time even the main page was inaccessible. I have Google saved in my favorites so when MSN is acting up, I use them for images and to search the web. BTW, Rufus reminded me that the Pogo social last night, where you can show off your mini to Pogo administrators, was cancelled last night because of problems with the site. They'll be doing it Friday evening instead. I believe the administrator said it was 4 pm eastern time, not sure about the other time zones. He said there would be information posted about it in the community news. When I can get back to Pogo, I'll look up the information and post it here.

This board is loading fine for me, as is the rest of the net, 'cept Pogo :cry: :cry: :cry:

Here's the information about the next Pogo social. It's today. April 7 1:00PM PST / 4:00PM EST / 9:00PM GMT WHAT: Pogo Social Amazing Mini Show and Tell! GAME: Tri-Peaks Solitaire Yup-- another Amazing Mini Show and Tell! For those of you who can't make the Wednesday night event, head over to the Mini Mall, create yourself an Amazing Mini and meet other Amazing Minis in any of the Members Only rooms that begin with the letters "W" or "Y" under the Topics tab

And Pogo is down yet again. How are we supposed to get our badges if it's constantly going down??

This weeks challenges: First Class Solitaire Cloud Hopping Badge: Win 7,000 tokens this week (including Jackpot Spins!) Win this badge plus 800 Tokens! Casino Island Blackjack Luau Badge: Get a "5 Card Charlie" 3 times this week! (Get 5 cards per hand without going over 21!) Win this badge plus 600 Tokens! I much prefer World Class Solitaire to First Class, but all in all it is going quick enuf. Sumpin about the anime type jumpiness of the cards irks me to no end. Casino Island Blackjack went really quick!

Yeah, the blackjack went very quickly!!! I got two threes on my first deal, split them and got two charlies at a time! I agree about the First Class vs. World Class solitaires, Tif. The First class solitaire game bothers my eyes. Tumble Bees for my personal. I wish we had different choices for personal challenges other than the leftovers from past years. Most of what I have left, I hate!

I like World Class Solitaire better, too. The cards are bigger and easier to read and you get bonus options (shuffle or draw the next card from the deck) to help you when you get stuck.

Wow, 400 tricks in Spades!!!! At least it allows us to play with computers instead of real people. It shouldn't take too too long. I haven't tried the other challenge yet. I want more Premium badge books!!

This week's challenges: Showbiz Slots II Betsy Chiffon's Badge: Spin the reels to get 80 pink movie scripts this week! Win this badge plus 600 Tokens! Spades Breakin' Spades Badge: Work with your partner to win 400 tricks this week! Win this badge plus 800 Tokens! I hate Spades soooooooo much! :evil: Like Rufus said, though, at least it's not a rated game so we can play against the computer.

The Spades is going very quickly and I'm actually enjoying it a bit. I've got poker slots for my personal challenge, have to get better than two pairs 300 times. Getting there ..... it beats my usual pop fu or squelchies for personals!

The thing I like about Slots challenges is they don't take much concentration and usually go pretty quickly. I did the Showbiz Slots challenge yesterday while watching tv. I just kept clicking to spin until I got the popup window saying I had the badge. I got 1/4 through the Spades challenge. I started a Dice Derby game as my personal challenge. I have to get 600 or more tokens 10 times and I got it once last night. I'm trying to finish up the last few challenges in the 2003 album. I only have 9 left, including the one I'm working on this week.

This week's challenges: Phlinx Spring Fling Badge: Get 20 Jackpot Spins this week! Win this badge plus 800 Tokens! Tri-Peaks Solitaire Ancient Secrets Badge: Reach the 3X Bonus Multiplier twice this week! Win this badge plus 600 Tokens!

Quick rant on Game badges, don't you guys agree Pogo could at least award maybe 100 or 200 tokies for reaching game badge milestones? I mean what do I really care if I win a game badge if it don't come with beni's??? And I know that I just butchered that ^^^, grammar patrol, but I like the way it sounds! So :razz:
