Club Pogo online game site

I am addicted to playing on Pogo. I love it. You can play so many different games, earn badges, earn tokens to buy stuff and win prizes. One of the highlights I think is creating your own mini me. You can make it your own. Your mini can be as close to what you really look like or outrages and unique.

As much as I enjoy playing on pogo I have run into an issue that really is bugging me. I was on pogo wanting to play scrabble against another player. If you are familiar with Pogo, after you click on the game you want to play the next page gives you several options. These options are highlighted by tabs or buttons you click on to customize your game playing.

The other day I clicked on the game Scrabble then clicked on the two player tab (again wanting to play against another actual player rather than a robot). Well, I wait for the game to load and take me to a room. Each member playing room has a host. The host is the person already inside the room. When another player enters you have to wait for the host to give you permission to join the game. The issue I have run into is the hosts not allowing you to join, so eventually I have to end up playing against a robot.

The other day I entered a two player room and waited to see if the host would let me join. There is a place for room chatting. This is a section on the game page that lists the players, their profiles and you can chat back and forth. Chat consists of simple stuff like GG (good game) N1 (nice one) and so on. Well, as I'm waiting up pops a message in the chat section from the host and this is what it read; GET OUT!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!

I was so shocked when I saw this. I calmly responded to the host asking; Why? I just wanted to understand why this player was being so hostile. She responded; "I AM TRYING TO TEST MY SKILLS GET OUT SO I CAN PLAY." Ok, I think and respond, "You do know that on the first page there is an option to play against robots. This is a room for members who want to play against another member?" Her response was to still not let me play and she ended up playing against a robot but in a two person member room. I left, baffled and played against a robot.

I guess my point is HELLO POEPLE read the directions of how the game works. If you want to play alone and test your skills choose the robot option so that other members who want to actually play against another member can have a room to play in. Maybe you think this is petty I don't know but it really bugged me. It happens alot (minus the GET OUT LEAVE ME ALONE) expecially in the game of scrabble.

Has anyone else experienced this before? What is your opinion on a hostile room hogger who does not understand the options of playing the hundreds of games on pogo?
