You want to talk annoying tasks in Pogo? Beat 50 rocket leaders to reach level 45. THAT is annoying -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 11:41 10
- I only have 2 million XP to go to get to 41. So...shut it. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 14, 11:42 9

  - Mostly. But I always enjoy a speech given by Stacy Abrams. -- nm - Qale Dec 14, 11:58
  - How does broadcasting it cater to the cult? It's educating people about a pretty key part of the election process. A lot of people didn't know this - mara Dec 14, 11:53

        oh yeah, the spinda tasks are annoying, but doable -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 11:36 1
        
        Especially if you go into airplane mode once you get close and kill the app if you don't hit it. -- nm - spamlet Dec 14, 11:37
        
        It's unreasonable! Do I want Spinda? -- nm - loosilu Dec 14, 11:34 12

        Only reason I keep doing them...no shiny yet. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Dec 14, 11:38 3
        
        I finally went around the city for a few days stacking three at a time and clearing them just to get the shiny and be done -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 11:40 2
