Wow... How Long Did That Challenge Take?  |
|
Ok, so did anybody find a cheat for the Backgammon Challenge this week? I partnered my son, because naturally, you can't play backgammon against the bots... I don't know why, but there it is. So... we were facing 50 games of backgammon. eeeeeeeeek!
He tried resigning the game, he tried timing out and neither of them registered. ha ha ha. That'll teach us; it took nearly as long to time out as it did to finish a game and nothing to show for it!!!
Anyway, we plodded on through four evenings of in and out games, because there were other things to be done in both our homes. We finished tonight, at 7.15 p.m., just in time to beat the clock. I'm just dreading what might be amongst tomorrow's challenges because that one was the worst since that meanie Quick Quack one... I hate ducks now! lol.
I'm sick of the sight of Backgammon now, too! lol. Did anybody find a way to get through the Backgammon more quickly?

1. Penguinsangel (2786) | 3 years ago | Nope, I don't think there is a way to get through it any quicker way but to play it with someone you know. Its very odd that they don't have the opition to play with robots on this game, I wish they'd get that.

Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | Yes, I wish they would get that option too. It's very difficult to get a partner who can be online the same time as you every day. Never mind... it's done now, till the next time they decide to throw it at us! lol.

2. tyc415 (4491) | 3 years ago | I don't like the games where it won't let the bots play myself. I did find someone to work with on getting the badge. She and I were able to use the resign but that only worked after we were almost finished with the game. A couple of times it didn't work but that was it. In total I would say it took us 5 to 6 hours to get our badges. We did take a few breaks to rest our eyes and get a bite to eat for lunch. It shows the new challenges will be First Class Solitaire, place 999 cards in the "foundation stacks" and the other one is activate 75 cards on Lottso. Lottso I don't mind, will have to see how long it will take me on the solitaire. haha I agree wtih you about backgammon this week, it runs a very close 2nd to Quick Quack. If they had not extended the time to get that one I would have never gotten it. Good luck on your new badges this week and have fun.

Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | Neither of those sounds too bad to me. Thank you for lightening my mood.:-) Thank you for the info and the good luck wishes. Good luck to you with your challenges, too. At least they're not rated, or botless and you can play them on your own. lol.
Brightest Blessings.

3. moonshadow68 (429) | 3 years ago | I completely gave up on that badge...got the Quick Quack one in like 10 minutes and then said to heck with backgammon...I haven't touched my pogo much this week and well, I can't say that I missed the backgammon much at all.
| |
| |
|
|
Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | Oh yeah... that Quick Quack one was fine, but the old one was the one I meant, that they had to extend over a longer period because nobody could get it. It took almost two weeks to get and I was dreading going in there this week! ha ha ha
I'm not too keen on backgammon either, but if you can find a partner, it does make life easier. I wish they wouldn't put rated games, and botless games into challenges... it always takes longer because you have difficulty being online the same time as your partner.
Still... good luck with this week's challenges. I hope you enjoy those.

As for your challenges, you can always do them as your personal at some time to catch up.

| |
|
|
Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | I guess it still took time using the resign button like that. I think we'll file that one as a badddddddd challenge! lol.

7. gizmo528 (515) | 3 years ago | My husband and I tried everything and nothing worked. We never did finish our badges for that one so I guess we'll have to do it later on as a personal challenge. Geee, what fun.
| |
| |
|
|
Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | Yes, something to look forward to...... NOT!!! We did get ours but only at the last minute, and as you, we tried everything but it took nearly as long for the timer to run out as it did to play a game, so we gave up on a cheat in the end and played through.

8. misheleen73 (3135) | 3 years ago | I finished it but not sure how long it "actually" took. WHat got me, was going in to play, and then no one would accept you in their room. I didn't have a pre-set partner, so I had to depend on someone bein gthere and letting me play with them. I had people deny me, or quit playing. It drove me bonkers. The worst for me was that Quick Quack one from a while back, and one of the Pogo Bowls too.
| |
| |
|
|
Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | If you press the Play Now button at the top of the page, it will take you into a random room which is awaiting a partner. You don't normally get refused from those... just a tip.
Yes, that Quick Quack one killed me... I think everybody hated it! That's why they had to extend it but it was so boring and tiring, I never wanted to look a duck in the eye again. lol.
| |
|
|
misheleen73 (3135) | 3 years ago | thanks for the tips.. I too was sacred of the ducks,, then with this new one, I thought.. uh oh, but it wasn't too bad.
| |
|
|
Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | You're very welcome. No, I don't think they dared to make it as harsh as the last duck one. Everybody would be up in arms, again! lol

Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | Yes, I agree about the background music or jackpot spins. I also think you should be able to play against bots. One of those, or delete it from the list of games... it's awwwwwwwwwful!

10. raydene (5312) | 3 years ago | I have never playe but would love to learn.Is there a site on line that will teach you how? You must be very good at it. Hugs

Darkwing (7519) | 3 years ago | My friend Zzum taught me a while back, when I had my fist challenge in there, and it was quite easy to pick up.
I don't know of anywhere online that actually teaches you how to play it but Pogo have basic instructions as you go into the room and show you the moves which are possible to make, so you wouldn't find it difficult, if you can find somebody to play with you. Look for me, if you want to... my User Name on Pogo, is LoveInTheMist6.
Brightest Blessings, my friend.
