pinochle masters badge,help needed

[stormyone]

my friend and i have been trying to get the pinochle masters badge forever,is there two other people who need the badge who would be willing to play with us,till we get the badge then we do same in return,or two people who already have the badge who will help us then we will give you back your ranking points,thank you

[mr.clean]

I need all those rank badges

[Spawn O Satan]

i need quite a few of the rank badges myself. i can double browse with an extra account, but even that hasnt helped totally.

It's a tough one to get.  I did it by playing all four players at once, used three or four computers, sometime double browser on one.  Playing all four hands you should never lose, and of course if you have a really lousy hand at the beginning of a game everyone can leave the room and come back in.  Took me about 3 weeks splitting time with things like job, pinochle, family, pinochle, hobbies, pinochle.

You will use up all your guest passes and a few other peoples' too.  You even have to play a few dummies up to a good rank so you can beat them and suck up their rank points.

Good luck.

[edfshr]

Did you read my reply up above?  I'm at 2006. 

[Tracey]

most people only has the 1 computer so its hard to do wat u suggest

[edfshr]

Well, I could play four browsers on my one pc.  Now there's apicture of confusion.  I'd have to do it mith no, ahem, adult beverages.

lol I have played pino with 4 browsers and its not alot of fun let me tell you that and it takes so much time to beef up the "sucker" names. I am home full time since I am disabled and have lots of time on my hands if people want to work on getting master badges im willing to help just drop me a  line.

[stormyone]

hey knightrider,drop me a line and we can sort something out,happy new year everyone <...>

I was thinking about this badge the other night and remembered the key trick that I used to beef up my rating to Master.  Once I got up to 1800, of course, it got harder and harder to get higher.

I would get four guest passes and sign in as, say, Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofey.  Mickey and Minnie would win a bunch of games and get their ratings up to 1700 while Donald and Goofey would drop to 1300.  Then I would play with Donald as my partner against Mick and Minn.  Donald's and my ratings would total to 3100 while M&M were 3200 so when we beat M&M Donald and I would get the same number of points added to our ratings while M&M would go down a bit.  Then after a bit, I would switch to partnering with Goofey.  This strategy would be way more useful than playing with a partner who also had a high rating. 

After a but if there was still time left on the guest passes, M&M would play some more against D&G and I'd get some more points from them or else I'd start all over with Archie, Jughead, Bettie and Veronica.

Hey I need help also. We can work together getting yours and mine. I can DB. If anybody is willing to help PM me. Thanks

[EllenRules4Ever]

yes im looking for some help too. PM me Ill be on most of the day

[BadgeTiger]

I found it just as easy to double browse with a second pogo ID, and at the last minute join my own table. Throw the game, make your partner hate you, they'll cuss, scream, and threaten. Worked for me. I finally got the badges, and a bit of amusement on the side.  I'll never win Pinochle Player of the year, but my badges look good to me.  :D

[EllenRules4Ever]

anybody that needs help just PM me. Ill be checking back every 10 minutes. Thanks

I have determined I will never get the Masters badge.  I am horrible at double brosing...not only does it take me forever to make one move on each one, but it gives me a splitting headache.  Good luck to those shooting for it.
