Fastest/Slowest Game to Rank out in.

[Johnny5]

Don't play Thousand Island Solitare if you want to rank out quickly.  This one takes forever!!! 
I haven't tried it with an auto though.  Has anyone ranked out with this one using an auto and if so how long, I'm curious?

Good luck to you!

[Mistyeyed]

i did rank out a long time ago on this but i think i went back and forth between using the auto and playing by hand..i have a lot of trouble using that auto now...since pogo doesnt seem to be adding new games as fast as they used to i just take my time on them anymore..

The Poppit Show is the longest.  In POGO itself?  I think Battle Phlinx is up there with the best of 'em.

Excluding the "random" badges like those in the Poker games, Tri-Peaks, Lottso and Mahjong Garden take a long time. Most extended games are take a long time to finish.

For the non-extended games without a "special" badge, Jungle Gin, Battle Phlinx, Fortune Bingo, Yahtzee Party and Boardwalk Sea Ball take forever.

OK here are some of my choices for games to try to rank out in next.

Spades
Shuffle Bump
Battleship
Crazy Cakes
Dice City Roller
Dominoes
Jigsaw Treasure
Pogo Addiction.... yellow cards only

Tell me which three you would do next.

Addiction took about a week on overnight. As long as you only do gold cards it won't take long. Aces up was pretty easy. Keno Pop was VERY easy to rank out on. I'm currently working on canasta by hand. That seems to be taking forever, but it's my favorite game, so it doesn't bother me.

Canasta with the auto is fast... as least I think so.

I like Pogo Addiction so I think I can handle seeing it 24/7 for a week of yellow cards.

Hi
I use TRIVIAL PURSUIT Daily 20...and can Rank-out in 5 days (using both sites).  Plus you get @6 million tokens.

[I r a cheat]

QWERTY took me 2-3 weeks
Monopoly Slots took me 1 week
Beaker Creatures took me 2 days
Hog Heaven Slots took me 1 week
Trivial Pursuit took me 1 week
Keno Pop took me 1 week

I'd say the ones that take long are games which take long themselves...so games such as

Monopoly - Here and Now
Pogo Bowl
Bingo games
Mahjong Garden
Tri Peaks

Ali Baba, Sock Hop and the other slots can take ages because you need story bonuses to get rank progress and getting them is rare as ever.

I tried putting the auto on Battle Phlinx yesterday for a couple hours, and the game kept telling me, "No rank set." I've never had cripes problems with that game like everyone else, but the whole rank not set thing kind of scared me.

I would choose Dominoes, Dice City Roller, and Pogo Addiction.  I ranked out pretty quickly in those.  I'm working on Jigsaw Treasure and Battleship right now and they are going pretty good.  I'd say they are taking "normal time" to rank out in -- not too fast, not too slow.  

As for slow ones -- Pinochle is HORRIBLE!  Tri Peaks freezes a lot on me (with the auto) so that will take forever.

Good luck to you!  

Good luck to you

Don't worry about that.  Just go out of that room and come back in to the same room and it will reset.  That happened to me a lot.  Took me about three months of running this auto overnight to rank out in this game -- it can be done though!

Well, I finally made it to rank 3. 

That seemed like it took forever enough.

Thanks for your response. Appreciate your answers and will probably go with those three. Thanks.

slowest on the planet BLOOP

I ranked out on BLOOP in 7 days by double browsing, probably 50 hours of play.

[Kenzie]

Fastest for me: 

Beaker Creatures
Sudoku Blast
Word Whomp
Turbo 21 *ultrafast rankout*
Casino Island Blackjack
Sweet Tooth
All the slot games were fast

Slowest:

Boggle Bash (I hate this bloody game)
Tripeaks
Canasta - I'm at rank 95 right now, huff n puff 

Just be persistent and you'll get there, no matter what game pogo throws at ya.

OF COURSE, the slowest is Word Search Daily.

NO ONE has finished it yet.

The inevitable "measurement" issue has raised its ugly head.

If one measures by calendar time, then Clue will be the longest, since badges are constantly being added, leading to an infinite calendar time to finish. Word Search Daily has a finite end. For me, the date is 2/8/2011 and for my second account, 4/8/2011.
Jigsaw Detective used to be the longest, since it started before Word Search Daily. The status of Jigsaw Detective is now in limbo, based on the 70th case.
What is most odd about these games is that the time to finish is variable. Someone today could "finish" Jigsaw Detective in an overnight session or two, since they have all the cases available, as opposed to those that started at the beginning and had to wait.

From a screen time perspective, Word Search Daily is a typical pogo game. I play 45 minutes each month and I am caught up with the 30 puzzles. Extend it out further, and this means Word Search Daily is 50-60 hours of screen time. This is less than 3 days. I personally use screen time to measure how long it will take to finish games. I include all hidden and special achievement badges, such as Royal Flush, Perfect Chain, Rising Star, Big Rollers, Boggle Badge Badge Badge, etc.

I am not sure how to measure the time it takes for the "luck" badges, since everyone's experience is different. Some of those are the most frustrating badges, since until you actually win them, you are technically not making any progress towards them. While random number theory could allow you to estimate, Pogo is not a big fan of random numbers, as evidenced by the difficulty of earning certain luck badges or how play occurs in the poker games.

Ahh, but will Word Search Daily end? Or will Pogo add ranks? Stay tuned to find out.

Maybe they will add state capitols next.
