Group Challenges

How often do Group challenges occur? when was the last one?

The last personal challenge was September 23, 2004.  There is not another one in the near future that I am aware of.

Wow it's been a year since the last one. I though they planned three???? oh well

I had also wondered about the group challenges awhile back, and wrote to Pogo to ask them about it. This is what they responded with:

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Club Pogo Support.

Pogo.com had a Group Challenge in October, 2004, to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation, and it tied in with the Race for a Cure. The gold-level badge and award were achieved, so all participants (any Club Pogo member who logged in, played, and won tokens during the Group Challenge) received the Pink Ribbon badge.

We did discover that Group Challenges need some refining and tuning when we did this event, so we have not had one since then. We haven't set a date when we might have another one, though the ability does remain for us to offer more Group challenges.

If I can help you with anything else, please write back and let me know.

And, as Barbara stated, it occured in Sept., not October as he mentioned.. the badge is right in all of our albums as being given out on Sept. 23, 2004- obviously when it had ended. But anyway, he didn't give much info about it other than it needs some fine tuning... but for it to take about a year or so, possibly longer, to fine tune it, does seem extreme. I don't recall any problems popping up at the time of the initial group challenge, at least not from our end, the players. I can't imagine what could have been so bad that they more or less scrapped the idea for the time being.

Thanks for the information.  Another group challenge would be nice right about now.
