I had amazing luck with the Lost Temple badge! I had gotten half of it done before I left work today. After working on my personal challenge in Dice Derby for a while I went back to work on it and one of my hands had 4 Kings in the opening deal. I ended up getting 20 Four of a Kind and 1 Five of a Kind in one hand! After that I finished the badge quickly. :razz:
I sure wasn't having luck in Dice Derby, though. I only have two 600 token or higher win games toward my personal challenge. I had hoped to get 2 a day but so far I've only been able to scrape by with one a day. I have a lot to make up this weekend and I might have to switch personal challenges if it doesn't look like I can do it.
It's frustrating because the week I got the 3 wins in a row badge, I was getting all kinds of 600, 800, 1000 token jackpot spins but now I'm back to my usual 500 or less tokens spins. :sad:
This is the last badge in my 2003 album and I really want to finish it!

Woo! I got one more win in Dice Derby! I decided to try again while Whose Line is it Anyway was on and I won two games. The second game gave me 600 tokens--enough to count toward my badge!

Yippee! I finally finished the last challenge in my 2003 album!!!! :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:
Now I only have the 2004 album left.

Wow, Pika, I'm way behind in the 2003 badge! I still have about 15 or so to go, oh well. How many of your 2004 do you have left?
I'm getting 75 blowfish matches in Squelchies for this week's personal. I had started it a couple of times before but always got bored and quit, but this time I'm up over 60 now so will be finishing it, Hurray!!!

I only have 34 of 103 badges in the 2004 album so I have 69 left to get. I had started on the 2004 album when I first joined Pogo but changed to the 2003 album when I realized it had a lot less badges to get (54).

I got an email from Pogo, some kind of newsletter, and it listed their Top 5 Games as:
1.Spades
2.First Class Solitaire
3.Pogo™ Bowl
4.Word Whomp™
5.Lost Temple Poker
I don't know how they came up with this list but those aren't my top 5. Of those, Word Whomp is the only one I play regularly. I absolutely hate Spades. No way is it #1 in my book. I thought Pogo Bowl and Lost Temple Poker were relatively new so how can those be in the top five already? To me, First Class Solitaire is a sorry version of World Class Solitaire. For that matter, I play Word Whomp Whackdown much more than I play plain Word Whomp.

Got my Phlinx badge! That game sucks!!

WTG, Poopy!
I saw PrincessPoopy while I was at Pogo last night working on the same badge. She had just gotten frozen from the room she was in and lost 500 tokens toward the badge. When I left the game, she had over 2,000 tokens toward the badge and said she planned to finish it last night. And she did!
I only have 1,000 tokens so I need to finish it this weekend.
Princess Poopypants- 07-15-2006
That Quick Quack personal challenge is going to take me forever. I only win about 500-600 tokens each time and I need 50,000 total. I'm gonna have to play like 100 times. Yikes!!
Rufus- 07-19-2006
Pika, I'm doing Dice Derby, win 600 or more tokens 10 times this week, for my personal and I just won the game with over 600 tokens and it didn't give me credit for it. Did you have any problems or am I reading it wrong?
Does it have to be 600 tokens on the spin? Because it doesn't say that.
Rufus- 07-19-2006
NM, answered my own question by playing! So it seems not only do I have to win 10 times but I also have to jackpot spin 600 or more in those wins! So far I'm one for two.

That's right, Rufus. They're not clear enough on their instructions. :evil: It's actually easier to get a 600 token spin in the 6-lap races than in the 9-lap races. The 9-lap races seem to be stingier with the jackpot payouts.
