I have a hard time chatting while I am concentrating on a game. I see lots of people meet there like mothers and daughters or friends but I like to concentrate while I am playing! Do you find time to socialize while you are playing on pogo?

It depends on the game, in Fortune Bingo I can chat all day long but in Lottso or DCR I have to concentrate on what I am doing. Some games are just to fast paced for me to socialize in.

I think if I was playing more slots I could do it too. But you are right..some games require more concentration.

I never chat while I am playing a game. If I wanted to chat , I would be here on My Lot.

I'm only able to really chat if playing Keno. There is plenty of time to chat during games. I also work on craft projects while the balls are shooting up the tube. Many of the other games that require my undivided attention make it next to impossible to chat unless I am not focused on the game itself. I think some of the people who play on Pogo meet there just to chat and not actually play games. Guess the choice is up to the player but I go there to play.

I have the same problem which is why I dont chat anymore while playing any games. but there are some games I can chat with whikle playing like tri peaks solitare thats one because it dosnt have a timer. But games like turbo 21 and 3 point showdown I cant chat while playing those games because of the time clock. But I really dont care to chat on that site anyway im just there to play the games.

Yes...I am there to play too. And I find it distracting to chat while trying to do some of the games.

It depends of the game really. If it is a game that is timed or takes total concentration then no way can I chat and play at the same time. If it is a game like Pop-it I can play that and chat with no problem.

That's true. I think it depends on the game.

I hardly ever chat because I'm more into the game. Now and then I might throw something in but never anything that gets me roped into a conversation.

Sometimes I will chat but mostly I just play. When I get tired of playing and need a rest from the game I will if others are chatting and the chat is general and not their own personal chat between the two people.
