Bragging

[Runner]

Hello All,

I have witness some wierd bragging lately by auto users in different pogo rooms. 

Let me set up scenario.

2 people in a room are discusisng how hard a game is (non auto users)

Auto user pops in on conversation " I am on level 24/25 and almost done with the game"

and continues on how "easy" the game is.

Then one of these people pops up this persons stats and sees that they have just won 250 games in a row.  NO LOSSES  (on squelchies)

So those 2 bring this up in chat. Then they even look further into stats and notice this player has only been playing squelchies for  7 DAYS.


Now anybody with an IQ in double digits can figure out that this person is using an auto.


People, we all love our autos, but Why bring grief upon us all?

Of course those 2 reported that person as a cheater, and of course I am sure (since the room was full) that other people filed complaints too without voicing in chat.


C'mon people use some tact.

like i said people dont think yet wonder why they get banned and lose badges.  :-X

[Tara]

Thats why I keep my mouth shut in the games :-X

[nightperson]

i dont talk either i just rad and play (auto)

[missminimouse]

I don't say much,   and never stick with the same game for long,   I've been jumping back and forth between about 6 or 7 autos so nothing gets done too quickly,    and I'll run me in it one day,  and hubby the next,    so it may take me a week to get 2 badges in a game......so i'm never obvious.

I play some by hand and some auto. I really like to use the auto in rooms where they are having a tournament. They are so busy they never question anything. Dont you just love those people that come in bragging about how easy a badge was to get then you check their badges and they dont have it and their stats for the game blow. Ran into one of those the other day. I wasnt using auto so I am the one that started it. Noway anyone finished Squelchies Badge in 5 mins. He left the room

I only talk in the rooms when a friend comes in and then we go to private chat.  And most of those times I am not using a auto to play the game....I and just enjoying my chat with a friend.

[Tara]

I've never ran into that before....but I am one for checking peoples stats all the time.. >:D   I like to find those cheaters...lol   I was playing alot of lottso on auto last week and I let the puter just go and I mess around on my other puter and look over there every now and then to see how I am doing...well I was in a room with just one other person and they must of been talking to me for awhile and they were saying ...why are you ignoring me? and blah blah blah ...so I just said....I am playing in my Moms name and if she catchs me chatting she will kill me...and they said ..well I will tell your Mom your doing a good job of keeping your mouth shut  :)) :))   I said thxs and bye and kept on playing

[pogohatesme]

lol just once I'd like to run into someone bragging about using an auto in a room...just once lol..... :)) I have my chat off unless I'm hanging around while the auto is playing

Some people are just brainless.  :o
This is what makes it hard on all of us.
Gets people wigged and they start checking everyones stats etc.
Next thing you know there is a witch hunt on potential auto users,
like the one in www.
I very seldom talk in games, usuually only when a friend is there.
And I check up on my games and NEVER leave them in one spot for too long.
Also, I switch off on games so that I don't get the badges too quickly.
Some get way too brazen after they have been using them for a while and don't get caught.
Then they get stupid like in this case, and WHAM! Thats when they get caught.

I must state that I don't use an auto for Squelchies (even though I have it registered on my computer) and my winning streak is well over 700. I have all the badges (including the first 2 in one day) and that streak is still going strong. To assume they're using the auto because they have a streak, no losses and on a high rank in 7 days is wrong because for some people (like myself), that game is REALLY REALLY easy on any level. I do have a total of 3 losses in that game and I too get accused of cheating all the time. It's odd because in the games I'm great in, I get called a cheater but in the games I'm so-so at and have an auto running, nobody says a word. Back to the point, I believe that person could have legitimately gotten those stats without the use of an auto as I'm a proven point and I don't play all day long to get my stats either (200 wins in 7 days in a row is totally possible without an auto).

some people cry that people are cheating if you are doin better then they are  :-X

[harley89]

Some people have mastered games by hand and people accuse them of cheating. I cant play stellar sweeper  by hand. I have tried several times but the game eludes me. But I have found people that win game after game not using auto. So I agree if your better than them then you must be cheating is the answer they come up with.  And Pogo goes along with that idea without accepting that  some people just have an apttuide for some games.

[missminimouse]

It's one thing to be great at one or two games,    many of us are really good at a few pogo games,   just cuz.   But it's totally different to be better than most at almost all the games.    I used to play in tournaments on pogo and one of the members constantly scored higher than everyone else at every single game.   She even claimed she was "just learning" a few of them,    and a few days after beginning a new game,  she's already on rank 30.............that's just a touch obvious that she was using autos.   Good or not,   everyone's gotta eat and sleep and that other stuff,   so no way anyone could get that far in a game by hand after only a couple days.

i was in 1st class solitaire one day and this girl asked, "how to change card backs in this game?"
someone replied before me, "depends on what ranks your on"
she said "i m rank 42"...

i only played like 30 games myself. it wasn't a difficult thing to find. rank 42, doesn't know how to change card backs,  :o

In all fairness....I finshed the game a couple weeks ago and played 99% by hand....and it took me until the later ranks to find out that there was even differnt backs on the cards.......

[hades]

last night playing spades this women was talkin in the lobby about how all pogo games are boring and she only gets on pogo to run her autos and cheat her way thru challenges and game awards badges and other then that she wont play one game with cheating  :-X

[bubblegum]

you know these people must not read our constant warnings on these message boards about keeping your mouth shut....rule #1 of auto use is do not discuss auto use period unless you are in a private room with another fellow cheater....heck I figured that out even before I bought my first auto

I'm sorry, but THAT'S FUNNY!!!! 

I chat alot while I'm playing and not at all when auto is going.  I most always play manually when I'm chatting and   I really only have an auto running while I'm at work and when I'm sleeping.  I can check on myself, though, with an alternate screenname. 

Oh, and I played Stellar by hand and finished in record time.  The expertise in that game came from years of playing Windows' Minesweep at a very boring job.  Plus, I got to rank 30 in spades playing by hand without standy-sitty or an auto in about 4 days, so finishing ranks quickly CAN be done.  And frankly, whenever I'm accused of cheating, it's usually when I've played the screwin' thing by hand.
