This site is also a place for real answers and real discussions and that means sometimes discussing the uglier side to Pogo. I agree with you on every point. This event is tough and a real disappointment. I was lucky enough to finish the board on one account. I will not be attempting a second board. On my other account, I will probably not finish even though I only have one challenge left. I went into that challenge this morning (Home Story) with only 7 blue lightning bolts to play with. I lost every game because I refused to buy powerups. I am out of boosters, too. In one of those 7 games, I was not able to use ONE SINGLE draw card. I went through the entire game clicking on draw cards until they were done. Game over. It's in moments like this that I feel ready to turn my back on Pogo, who has taken the fun (and true challenge) out of playing.
I am very disappointed with this event. IMHO, it is the worst one ever. The biggest disappointment I guess is not getting a badge with each completed individual challenge. That hasn't happened before, in my memory. (I've been on Pogo since June 2000, and I think Club started in 2003.) I find the challenges too long and too dull - same stuff different day. I will be lucky to finish the first board. And I also don't think the community challenge is achievable. I remember similar community challenges we had many years ago, and one of those were missed because Pogo didn't plan for adequate time, but the others were always completed. And two weeks for 36 mostly long challenges? I don't think so. The 48 challenges events, which used to be called Magic but I think the name is changed now, have 4 weeks to complete those challenges, which were usually reasonable, maybe a couple of long ones. Anyway, three boards isn't happening for me, and this is the first time ever I haven't completed the WHOLE thing. I am kind of sad about that, but maybe it's a new era.
