I have 12 mill tokens and people are starting to ask how I got them. I got the same way they get tokens, I play games everyday. I have been playing a long time, it's not as if its a month old name with 12 mill tokens. GRRR it makes me so mad.

I hated when a bunch of my friends got banned in turbo 21 because we were all racing to see how many tokens we could get it was just for fun we were not going to turn them in ever I had over 60 million and I just recently got rid of them on because people kept accusing me of cheating  and threatening to turn me in and Ive been on pogo since 1999

You know what it is? They are jealous. Always have been and always will. It's a shame.

My personal opinion is that it was the 100 million tokens that got you banned. I have seen people in the chats reporting people who had millions of tokens. ;)
Your probably right. No one saw me in the private tables when I was token dumping, so only pogo could assume I was cheating.
What a bunch of lame, jealous, cry babies. Someone ought to bend them over the knee, and slap them for a couple hours. I could think of many other devious revenge plots, but nothing worth their mental capacity.

I thought I'd let you know that I lost an account, can't say whether it was due to double-browsing or not, I did not receive any messages from pogo about it. I was able to log in, but was prevented from playing any games. I waited for 2 weeks to see if it was only a temporary ban from games. Nothing changed.
I did double-browse while I had the account, and I wasn't constantly token dumping but did a couple per week. I never really tried DB'ing on games with ratings, even though I enjoy playing Hearts and Spades.
Here's the kicker, I had over 100 million in that account and just gave up on it because I was unable to play games with that account. So I did the sensible thing, and cashed them all in. I won't say what drawing, but it wouldn't matter, I did not win.

I know some of you are dropping your jaw, and saying how could I lose 100 million tokens. Well it's quite simple, and while I do watch how well my account grows, it still doesn't compare to the amount of people who lose theirs with only thousands of tokens to spare. I played with two accounts by myself, so it wasn't like I was bragging about it all over. I only intended to see how my token account looked in other game rooms. To possibly see how high an account could go without being called a cheat.
I mean, your giving yourself tokens.

Well if I was caught by pogo and no e-mail was sent, I did take a look at EA's T.O.S.
Under ONLINE CONDUCT, there is a title called Use of machines, computers, scripts. Here is the following statement:

The use of machines, computers, scripts or any automated system on EA Online is strictly prohibited and may result in criminal liability under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Section 1030 of the United States Code. You may only play EA Online games with one type, version or copy of browsing software application at any one time. EA may terminate and permanently disqualify any Members who, in its sole discretion, determines as being in violation of these Terms of Service. All decisions by EA are final.

Pay close attention to the 2nd sentence. So it would seem that double-browsing is against EA's TOS. Which makes it no worse than using an auto. I thought I would let everyone know this, before anyone really wanted to get carried away with it and wonder why their account was blocked/banned by pogo. Only as a warning. Sure I am ticked off for losing my account, but I missed playing the games, so I made a new account. Just remember to play it safe when you do so, with 2 accounts or with others.

Firefox is definitely an awesome browser, with popup blocking and tabbed browsing, something you just dont get with IE.  For those of you wondering, you can get a copy of firefox at http://texturizer.net/firefox/download.html#release .  Be sure to get the latest version, but it will let you double browse with IE.  Goodluck dbers! ;D

I  tried DB-ing once to see if I could run 2 different autos at the same time.  Needless to say, they fought over the mouse so much that one or the other would be about to finish a puzzle and time out or reset because it didn't click where it thought it did.  Also, on the token dumper idea... wouldn't it seem odd if a couple of accounts lost all their tokens to one person in a relatively short period of time?  I don't play poker that often, and maybe ppl do that regularly, but it just seems suspicious to me.  That's why I don't DB.

no you cant double browse using aol,what i was saying was in regards to leagues .people use aol to get a second name into a league because aol gives you one of there ip #'s....instead of having to figure out using a proxy..
