Pin Monkey Badge
Bowl 100 Spares or Strikes this week!
Win this badge plus 3000 Tokens!
With Play Buddy's auto Bowling Buddy, this badge challenge was a breeze. Just open a fast room, and let 'er rip and check in after about an hour and a half; my badge appeared after 1 hour 31 minutes with an additonal 2,939 tokens and I expect you'll have a similar result.
Year of the Tiger Badge
Make identical matches for all 8 of the Seasons tiles in 8 puzzles this week!
Win this badge plus 2000 Tokens!
Just like on the previous Mahjong Garden badge challenge, MahjGar Buddy was more efficient when I played with it, instead of letting it autoplay straight through. That said, I'll refer you to my previous blog here - just replace "flower tile" with "season tile". :) One difference was that this time it took less time (1 hour 18 minutes) and gave 1,604 extra tokens. And as usual, you'll have to complete the entire puzzle and get through the jackpot spin before the game is counted and the badge awarded.

The Pogo Bowl Badge ChallengePinned Down Badge
Knock down 400 pins this week!
Win this badge plus 3000 Tokens
I used Play Buddy's Bowling Buddy Pogo cheat to accomplish this badge. It took 33 minutes and in addition to my 3,000 tokens, I made an extra 1,396. If you're like me and feel that these rounds take FOREVER, definitely use the FAST rooms like I did. I used the default setting on Bowling Buddy and had 14 strikes and 27 spares. I noticed it almost always bowled so that the two front left pins were left. So I thought about changing the settings but it seemed that randomness comes from Pogo... for example, even though my bot is doing the exact same roll, Pogo would have the pins sometimes split, or even give me strikes. And keeping a vigilent eye on the leader board, I noticed that the same people gravitated towards the top or bottom, but that the actual winners or losers definitely varied. So, in short, Bowling Buddy probably did about the best ya can do when considering Pogo's programmed results (not proven, just my own theory based on what I just said).
The Sweet Tooth 2 Badge Challenge100 Percent Cacao Badge
Collect 7 Chocolate Coins this week!
Win this badge plus 2000 Tokens
This challenge was completed by a Sweet Tooth Pogo cheat (Tootsweet Buddy). I was so grateful to let this bot get this badge, because this game is soooooo tedious and hard to do on my own (especially on level 5 which was required to complete the challenge!). It took 37 minutes and I earned an extra 1,703 tokens (wowza...what a token earner!). I imagine the speed would be much improved if a "chocolate coins" option was included in the bot (here's hoping for an update) - I was surprised it wasn't there since Play Buddy is usually on top of that kind of stuff. I did notice a high score option, though... cool for people who play Sweet Tooth 2 to be on top of the leaderboard.
