How do people freeze the timer in card games like canasta?

[ak4744710]

I have not been cheating and every time I get my ranking up pretty good I noticed I will loose to someone with a way lower score than me and have to build it up again. I noticed when I play people with a much higher score they always freeze the timer and I cannot win or loose but neither can they. There is one dude I really want to do it back to because he is on everyday doing this after calling others a cheater. My question is how is this done although I am not sure if anyone who knows will share lol. Thanks in advance.

I have never done this or had it done to me.  I have no idea how to do it.  Revenge is not a good answer to the problem... what about walking away and just playing the bots in the future?

Thank you for the reply. My issue with bots is that they do not count towards ranking and also they are too easy. I enjoy the challenge but most people with higher rankings seem to pull this if they are loosing. When they are winning I have never seen it happen either.

Greetings,
WOW...this is a trick from the past.  All you do is change your clock date.  In the 1990s, we just changed the date 100 years backwards.  Pogo uses your clock instead of incorporating theirs into the game...easier to program.

Let us know if it works

Agreed someone needs to address this issue

So sorry this is happening to you! I've had this done to me quite a few times, now I just play the bots.

Hello,

If you are still playing Canasta on Pogo, I would love to play a game or several games. I too did not know how they froze the clock but I have always "waited them out", so they leave and I win. I do not cheat and never have. Before Pogo had to change the programming I was Red. I played all the time but mostly with others that I knew who they were. Then as you said, I lost and am now at 1161 I think, a beginner. My pogo name is xxxxxxxxxx, if you want to play, send me a friend request. 

Thank you
