Master Badge in pinochle

[Barbara]

Have you reached the Master level yet?

[Mikeael]

 Did before

[Barbara]

I have earned the Master badge twice and the Intermediate badge for two others.  I have played against Max, a Master, Adacia, a Master and I am actually going to throw this question to Smiles, the most serious and the best Pinochle player I have ever come across, also a Master.  I have never won 17 points in a hand before.  I must have done something wrong here because I do not believe that it is possible for players who are rated 1500 to be deducted 17 points for a loss.

[Mikeael]

 You cant keep the scores far behind if you do you want get 17 rating points

[Barbara]

Oh my!  I think you just explained what I did wrong, lol.  I would bid 500 and tank!  Where were you when I was working on this?

[Mikeael]

 I was eating a donut roflmao

[Barbara]

Delish!  Seriously, I would bid 500 and play backwards.  I guess it would be like getting toothpaste back into the tube now to think about where I went wrong.  I have the badges and I am happy.

I just recently started playing pinochle. I kinda taught myself and if I had to play in real life against real people I probably wouldn't know what I was doing LOL. But here is my question: If U get your rank up there to get a badge and u lose your rank do they take the badge away?Or do they let u keep it as a souvenier? LOL

[Barbara]

If you lose, you lose the rank points and retain the badge.  If you are a Master you can throw all of your rank points away and still retain all of the badges.

barb you wont to do my pinochle badges for me i suck at the game >:D and wtg on getting them all

[Barbara]

Thank-you very much.  I am six badges away from owning every weekly challenge badge, every in-game badge and every super badge that Pogo has ever offered.  If I were to brew a pot of coffee right now I could easily knock two of those six out tonight.  I think I will stay away from the caffiene right now though or my head will explode.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  thats great barb.  ive only got 3 games completely finished.  im trying to work on mine to where i get a badge in every game all in one week.  that would give me 14 in game badges and 3 weekly challenges (unless the do a badge marathon - lol).  im thinking about reseting my stats in 2 games to push my badge total for one week up to 19  :-\ :-\, just to beat the record  8).   :-\ , what to do, what to do. 

[Barbara]

My record is 16 in one day.

[smiles29]

wow.  excellent job barb.  i dont think i can do that one unless i can get all my games one game away from the badge.  we will have to see.  by the way,  what is the record for badges won in one week?  i think the last i saw was 17 or 18, not sure.

as far as this topic,  i got my masters badge about a month ago and am currently helping a couple of others get theirs.  it may take me a couple of months to finish but if you still need help then let me know.
