Heh, I managed to get a badge started! The Perfect pair solitaire one! Yay me! I have a lot of badges to make up now, It's gonna take the rest of the year to get them all.

I got the two weekly challenges done. I picked Cribbage as my personal challenge so I'm working on it now. I have to win 5 games this week and I've won 1. This badge should be real easy because last week, between the weekly challenge and my personal challenge (both in cribbage), I had to win 25 games and I did it with a few days to spare.

There are some new backgrounds and costumes at the Mini-Mall! They're Asian and Oriental themed. Don't miss your chance to get these limited edition items! I'm glad I've been saving my tokens for a while.

Why would you tell me this????????????????? I already spent enough money shopping with my daughter today!

Trixie and I just went shopping. She got lots of new stuff, she's so lucky.

sheesh....a 100 quacking jackpot spins is going to take a long time.... :? i have four so far :mad:

Yeah, 100 does seem like an awful lot. I've noticed that the challenges have started getting longer recently. For a while they were doing a bunch of really quick challenges. I read in the Pogo news that they shortened the Pogo Bowl challenge. They were going to have people get 3 200-point games but enough people complained that they cut it to 1. I haven't played Pogo Bowl much (probably only once or twice) so I have no idea how long it's going to take to do that. Thank goodness you don't have to bowl a 200-point game in real life to get it! My highest game stood at 101 for a long time and I finally beat that. I don't remember what my score was (probably about 113 or 114) but it was nowhere near 200.

It would go faster if Pogo didn't keep going down today!!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!! Got the bowling badge!

Do you have any pointers to give for the bowling game, Rufus? Or anyone else who is good at it. Where do you line your ball up--at the center? Between a certain pair of dots? Is it better to throw the ball faster or slower? I've been having rotten luck. I haven't gotten anywhere near 200. The people in the rooms I've been in haven't had much luck either. Yesterday to highest score I saw was in the high 160's. Today I saw the first person get an over 200 game. That's pretty sad. Thank goodness they changed the challenge from 3 games to 1!! One is hard enough. The Quick Quack challenge is taking too long, too. I only have like 3 of those. I don't get a jackpot spin every time so it sucks.

Okay Pika .... the quick quack game will take some time, but if you get over 700 or 800 tickets you will get a spin. I get a spin every time and have got about 30/100 so far. It's not toooooo bad compared to some of the other mind numbingly boring games I've gone through! And the bowling .... I put the ball in between the centre dot and the next dot to the left and then mousedrag the pointer right to the top of the centre pin and let go. I almost always get a spare, and usually two to three strikes per game doing it that way. For some reason I'm quite often left with the two far right pins standing after the first ball. Good luck!

I still haven't gotten the bowling badge. The best score I got was 193. It's so frustrating!!!!! I haven't even worked at Quick Quack today. I did nothing but play the bowling challenge from when I got home from work until now.

I only have three more badges to get to complete my 2003 album! How exciting, I know!!!! And Pika, if I could help you with the bowling badge I would, I quite like the game and will probably just go play for the fun of it today or tonight.

The deadlines to complete the Quick Quack challenge and the superbadge have been extended to October 17th so we have more time to do them. That's a bit of a relief so even if I can't get the bowling badge, I can work on Quick Quack and get it done.
