I am playing this game for a personal badge from the 2003 album. I need to get 150 fireflies. Almost there but will still take me some time I'm sure.
What I want to know to those of you who play on pogo, what in the world is the deal about that game? I see no logic in it at all. It irritates me so much when that little firefly does decide to come on the board that most of the times it is out of reach. For my 2003 album I will still need to get 200 of those pesky little things. You know, I used to love fireflies in real life. hahahahaha Wish more than one would come out at a time on the game and more often.
What do you think of this game?
Do you think pogo needs to get rid of it?

I like the game for a short period of time and then I get bored and frustrated. Pogo works very hard to place those fireflies out of reach. It might benefit Pogo to get rid of it and enhance their site with a more productive game. Maybe "spin the bottle." lol Can't tell you how many people were complaining while playing the last time I played the game. They were there only to earn a badge and hated every minute.
Am not going to mention what we did to live fireflies many years ago. Would be asking for trouble and someone would ream me a new one.

I dare not ask you what you did with fireflies many years ago then. hahaha We used to catch them and put them in a jar and watch them glow. Don't see too many now days where I live, could it have anything to do with what you did with them many years ago? LOL LOL
As for the game, I would not mind as much working towards my badge if it was a ranked game then at least it would make it more worth while.
Thank you for responding carolbee.

I have so many badges to get that I can't stand the game or not good at it or don't know how to play it. I am still not sure if I will get my 200 fireflies done for my personal this week or not, would be nice to get it over with but then again.... hmmm.
Welcome to myLot Reesers and thank you for your response.

2003 was a horrible year for badges! I think there were like 50 Greenback Bayou badges... I was so happy when I finished them all last year!!! I don't remember if there are more in the future years or not, but I don't remember seeing any in 2004, which is what I'm working on now. Got another year and a half before that one will be done...

Oh, but playing those 4 in 2003 seemed like it was 50! I think there was even one of them that took me 2 tries to get - I was not happy about that!
I think someone did warn me about the 2006 one, but I have YEARS before I get to those ones. I joined in 2007, so I'm working on the older albumns first. I wont be done with 2004 for another 18 months or so, then it's another 2 years for the 2005. But I'll probably hit that Greenback Bayou first when I'm up to the 2006 so I can get it out of the way! I'm done with the 2007 and 2008, and I've blocked those challenge weeks out of my memory, although I see that I have the badge so I musta played them!
Good luck on your badges!

I just now finished the one I was playing for my badge and now that leaves one more of those crazy games and then I should be finished with the greenback ones unless pogo decides to torture us and have that as a challenge one week.
I also find it senseless and a waste of time to play unless it is for a weekly challenge since it is not ranked.
Thank you for responding.

This game has no logic to it at all and I can't stand having to do a badge on it. I do think that pogo needs to get rid of it because I don't think alot of people play it unless they need a badge for it. It is a very frustrating game. The alligator always gets me.

Welcome to mylot odiesman1. I agree with you about people playing there only for badge. Last night I think everyone was working on badge and we all complained. haha Some did make jokes about the frog when the alligator got him or when the frog jumped over the free spin. I wish we all knew how to let pogo know we don't like the game and to replace it with something else. It would be funny if they had us get a badge there this year and nobody played.

I sure hope pogo don't ever have challenges again with the greenback bayou. I finally have all my albums filled and up to date on my current one. Last time I went to pogocheats I guess I was all up on my tokens because it didn't find any more for me. Also I like to go to badgeaddicts.com.
I hope your weekend is going good and that you have a great week.
