I checked this out and read almost all of it and decided that I did not understand all that I would have to understand to be a test. Guess I am not that smart. Copying Java logs and all that--to much for me but I think it would be fun! Good luck to all that try out for it. Also I have used autos for a long time on most games and they would know that, right??
Well what the heck, I went & filled out the thing just for the heck of it :)))
Grr I'm getting aggr. I am trying to sign up again and after hitting the acception for the terms it says
BAD REQUEST and won't let me continue :(
Got it to work on hubby puter but I also signing him up just in case I cannot make the cut again do to being one before I am nosey love to see what they are coming out with ahead of time :)))
And they STILL WON'T let UK players be beta testers :'((
I may just have to try this out! %%
Done!!! :D
I'm done too. Why do they ask you to activate your java log during the application?
I guess they want to make sure you knew how to do for when you submit bug reports.
I think though that it is automatically activated when running Java.

Submitting java logs is requested when reporting bugs. **** BE AWARE **** that all pogo activity is on those logs.... so, if you were in regular pogo using an auto and then go to the beta site and submit a bug and log, the auto stuff MAY be on that log. I always cleared the java log when going from regular to beta test pogo. It's very easy to do and made me feel a little safer.
Pogo doesn't need your java log to prove your cheating.

They sure don't. They can just ask me because I make $50.00 a name that I report for using autos. :))
To be hones everytime I have been a tester and sent a bug I have NEVER sent a log, I don't even have it logging when I am testing but :-X
thanks mayhem :8:
Okey dokey, I just set up my fourth Pogo account and applied again. Trying to keep the streak going. I think the new games will probably sux but it's fun finding out all the other stuff on the site.
A few things about your application to be a Beta Tester: If you have a super duper fast computer and connection speed, TELL THEM. They are looking for the best possible sys. configs.
I know, it sounds dumb, but they are all for pushing their games out to the people with fine computer setups.
Make sure you answer their 2 essay type questions with full sentences and hopefully without mistakes, addresssing what they are asking: What is your favorite Pogo game and WHY? and Why do you think you would make a good Beta tester?
Next, LIE about what games you like ( unless you like the upcoming games). I probably wouldn't go so far as to put Sudiku ( or however you spell it) on the App. but since we know there is another Mahjong and another Solitaire game coming, put that you have two, and name two variants of Mahjong and Solitaire, or another Pogo game that will be in production, like Word Riot.
It's also a good idea to check NO to the questions about : Do you have any relatives or friends who play on Pogo? Do you share computers? etc.
They are very security minded. The question about how many computers you own is tricky. I think they are wanting to know if you have a backup in case one crashes from a Beta bug, :)).
I always answer with 3 or 4 since I do have multiple home computers.
If you are really wanting to be a Beta Tester badly, say you work in the IT field, and that your specialty is customizing pre-packaged software programs to fit your company's specific needs. Or that you especially enjoy troubleshooting software/ hardware conflicts for your customers.
Something that makes you look like you are almost as smart as the morons who run the Beta program. They will never know!!
BTW, if you get accepted, prepare to sit and wait, wait and fume, and basically be treated like a bug on the screen. I've completed 3 BT sessions in less than 2 years, and still don't have one BT badge. They don't communicate with you except with little 2 line " updates" on the Beta site which apply to all testers. It's not for those who expect a lot of bells and whistles. It's not for people who can't play during the hours that Beta testing is open, which is during the day and til 9 PM Pacific on weekdays and all day and later at night on weekends.
Oh, and I think it's helped me that I've said that I play during the day at work.

I'm assuming it's best to use an account other than the one I cheat on all the time? Do they audit the account if you want to be a beta tester?

Nope, I've used two accounts for Beta testing that I cheat on daily. :)
They don't look at all that. Just the applications.
GL to you, AB Lady. I know you wanted to be a tester last time around. I hope you are chosen this time. :)

Thanks! Will they notify me regardless of their decision?
It's been my experience that they only notify the people they accept. The letters of acceptance with the password and all are sent out at intervals.. Some people may get theirs as long as 3 weeks after the first group posts that they were accepted.
I think this may be a large group of BTs because there are quite a few new games in the wings. Pogo needs to get them final tested by players and out on the site.
You have a better than usual chance of being accepted because of the numerous new games, IMO. :)
I was a beta tester for a while, but then my password stopped working for some reason and I never bothered asking them about it. When I was a tester, it was just Makeover Madness and the redesign of the Bee word game. Boring. ^_^

The beta sessions only last about 6 months then they get a new batch of recruits. Maybe this is what happened and you didn't realize it.

Stinkerbell pogo will only notify you if they accept you for the beta testing. If they don't chose you, you won't hear anything. Good luck everyone!

Congrats to whoever made it or makes it. Wooo hoooo I'm a beta tester and I didn't fill out the application with all that tech nonsense. :^*

Just because there are test badges in those games doesn't mean u are able to play all of them... After you sign in there will be games listed if there are any to be tested.
:( I also signed up under 3 accounts the one I was testing under before and 2 others and haven't heard from any.... boo hoo!
Wtg to the new testers! O0 As for me, I guess they don't like me either cause this was the 3rd time I'd tryed out & still haven't heard from em :'(( & I used a different name even :)))
I also got picked as a beta tester!
Spent about 30 mins playing pseudoku this afternoon, it was the only one available. Graphics & sound were pretty cool.
Yay me! :pp
I did notice tonight that all the badges and everything i had won from my first beta testing where still in there! <..>
Since I cannot see... I have a question for the beta testers. There is a new game called Pogo Addiction Solitaire in the works I hear it's getting 5 mini's, But, my questions to u guys are....
Is there ranks in this game and rank badges?
And is this going to be another downloadable game or a club pogo game?
Is anyone else having problems getting into the game rooms on beta? I haven't been able to play since friday night. I'm loggin in ok, but no rooms are open. Weird.
Ok 1 of the 3 accounts were accepted so I was able to get in and I answered my own question about pogo addiction yes it will have badges lmao. and it looks cute.
I belive it will be another club game .

Well I was chosen to be a beta tester!!! :^*
congrats to the rest of you!
Only one thing, you know when you filled out application and it asked you to do something with your Java. Well I got a new laptop and need to do that all over, and I forgot how. If anyone could help me that would be great. I am using internet explorer. O0
I missed it this time around... :'((
oh well let's hope i hear about it next time before they stop accepting applications lol

Not neccessarily because it seems like they have been shipping out the acceptance everyday, 1 of the accounts I did just got it yesterday. So maybe you still we be choosen.
I got my acceptance of a Beta Tester over the weekend - woo hoo :)
:/// im waiting for my turn
I was accepted!! I was excited, and its really cool, this being my first time as a beta tester O0
They let us be testers but never have the rooms open. Anyone know what is up ? canadian1.gif bbq26.gif
It's because it's a new session and a holiday weekend. Wait a couple days and it will be better. At least you got accepted. :-\
Ah so that's why I can log in, but cannot get into any rooms.
i'm getting in under the topics tab....this is my 1st time testing can anyone tell me if you have toget all levels for test to count
I so want to play Addiction or Golf Solitaire
:( didn't get accepted.......drat

Still not able to get into a room.
Squid, still no go. I'm going to try deleting my cookies, cache, etc maybe that will work.
So I just cleaned everything out and now I can't even sign in.
Geesh, now it is running fine. I swear this feels like Rod Serling's tour of the twilight Zone loL!

how long do i got to wait
I don'nt think pogo is looking for beta testers anymore for this round.
that stinks ill never get to be one
Jessica from BB8
hmmm that would be?
Have you testers been able to get into the rooms? 2 people (ladies I think) were discussing it in KenoPop saying that they are testers but complaining to each other about not getting into the rooms. I felt bad about not being chosen, but if you can't get into the room, what's the point?
I am a ester and once in awhile can acess teh rooms but mostly not at all. not even under topics. Just keep rting is all you can do girls18.gif
can any one tell me whats going on with betatest i can't even get to the home page any more :OO
Neither can I. I haven't been able to for days. Maybe this round of beta testing is over? I expected to see Yahtzee on the game list the last time Pogo went down for maintenance. It tweren't there.
Beta site is working fine for me... but your not missing anything they still have trivia and yahtzee party up and yahtzee party has no rooms available. They finally did a message on the 20th and in that message they stated they were not sure if they were going to get the yahtzee rooms back up for testing again since it will be released soon. They did say we will be testing a slot game soon.
No problem here, either
Hmmm, makes me wonder. I try entering the beta site from the email link they sent me when I was welcomed as a tester. I've tried it on both my computers and I get the same message: Internet Explorer Cannot Display this Webpage. I've cleaned the puters' cache, etc. Still the same thing. I've been ousted... 6_6.gif
