True Gold Friends (Pogo)

Hi Friends,

Welcome New Friends! Thanks for joining us. We hope to make your online gaming experience a fun one. Please take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with our website. Check out our league rules, game rules, rooms etc. If you have any comment or questions, please don’t hesitate to ask any staff member and we’ll be glad to help you.

Welcome Back Old Friends! We are happy you came back to play with us we sure missed you.

Please keep Paula (Stress) in your thoughts and prayers. She’s not healing as fast as the doctors had hope she would. We hope you are back soon, we miss you.

I would like to take this opportunity to explain our “Boot” rules. If you are booted from Lottso, we will give you a score of 1750 or use your ending score whichever is larger. If you get booted from Bowling because of intermission, we will give you 10 points a frame for 3 frames. If you get booted from a table game, you have 10 minutes to get back to finish the game or you forfeit that round. All other games there is no Boot rule. You must return to the game or you will lose that round. We are sorry but we try to be fair for all.

Sometimes our rooms are full and hard to get in. Some of our backdoor links are not updated but here’s a sure way to get in. Go into a room when it’s not full and click, copy and paste the room address to your desktop. Also let the host know you can’t get in and we’ll give you a direct link to the room. So if you don’t have us on yahoo, please make a point to add us. When we need players we will yahoo you too. If you wish to be taken off that list, let us know. We don’t want to upset anyone if you no longer wish to be yahooed. Is that a word? LOL!

Do you have problems loading Pogo or getting booted? Someone told me once that a computer is like a car. You can’t own a car without getting it maintenance on a regular basis and a computer is the same way. Here are a few helpful tips.

Clean your Java Cache. Go to Control Panel. If you are using Vista, click on Classic View on the top left. Double click the Java icon (looks like a coffee cup). In the Temporary Internet section under the General Tab, click Settings. Click Delete Files and click all the options given in the confirmation box and click OK.

Clean your Temporary Internet files by clicking Tools on your Internet Explorer bar, Internet Options, General Tab, Browsing History then click Delete files. You can choose whatever files you want to delete but the Temporary Internet Files are the most important.

Make sure you run Virus and Spyware software regularly. If you are having a lot of problems with Pogo, you can disable these 2 programs while you play. Just remember to enable them when not playing.

If your computer speed is low, you might have to shut down your messenger service. Some Pogo games use up a lot of memory so the less you have running the better.

If you would like more extensive help with your computer, let LuckyStaar know and we’ll send you instructions.

Did you know you can follow the progress of our tourneys? Just click on the tourney from our main page. There you can see the pairings and standings and you can even check to see who is registered. You can also figure out winners from there. Since announcing the winners is the highlight of a tourney host, please refrain from announcing them.

However, if you are interested in becoming a Tourney Host, we would love to have you join our staff and add your own special touch to our league. The pay sucks but the benefits are priceless.

We try to start tourneys on time so please be in the room and ready to play at least 5 minutes before start time. If you are not there when the tourney starts, we will remove you. We understand that stuff happens so if you are going to be late, let us know and we can wait a minute or two. Our members are the best and don’t mind waiting a couple extra minutes. If there are lots of tourneys set, starting one too late will make all the rest start late. If you need to withdraw from a tournament, there’s no need to rely on the host to take you out, you can do that yourself by clicking on Register and click withdraw.

Are you low on bux and not able to play? No problem just let us know and we’ll be glad to give you some. We just want everyone to play and have fun.

In some of our games like EWB and Luau, our hosts rely on you, our trusted friends to report your correct score. As you know, there is no leader board in those games for anyone to double check the scores you report. We have recently found a way to double check to get an accurate score so if you happen to miss it, we can pretty much figure out what your score was. At this point I would like to reiterate to you our Cheating Policy. We will not tolerate any kind of cheating either by giving the incorrect score or by the use of an auto program. Should anyone get caught cheating, you will be boxed for 3 days. Continued cheating you will get booted from the league.

We now have 2 radio stations that support us, Krazy Kracker Radio and Urradio. Both links you will find on our main page. We ask that you support them by tuning in when playing. Come join us on Wednesday and Saturday nights from 9-12 and listen to JimboJetSet and don’t forget to request your favorite songs. We have lots of fun and party all night with great music and great friends. They both advertise us so when they visit, tune in and have fun.

We welcome any comments or suggestions you might have to make your tourney experience a better one.

On behalf of the whole TGF Staff, we thank you for your continued support of us and we thank you for being a TrueGoldFriend!
