So, I'm playing that game that I've gotten addicted to which shall not be named, as I am considering finding a rehab group to attend for it... LOL... but ok... so I'm playing, and I'm really UP THERE... and I'm clicking my poor fingers away... and I'm going for the GOLD... and I think, I better refresh the page that I have the games showing on... just to make sure I am connected, before I hit submit in the near future... well, I had my go at trying the featured game, PoolJam, and I was just gonna hit the high scores, to see what people where getting... figured that was as good as any to refresh my page, and useful while at it... (meanwhile, I have the game I am currently playing minimized while I take a break...) and what do i do...??? I don't click on high scores... I don't click on all time... I click on the blasted POOLJAM button... and what does it do... politely cancels out my MEGA BIG HUGE JINORMOUS credit stash... and loads a new game of pool jam. OMG. OMG. OMG. I've spent hours... yes hours... accumulating this pretty pot... and in a flash, poof, I've now got a pool table on my screen. I've been paranoid, I was gonna do this. I knew I was gonna do this. I already lost a big stash of credits, due to a power flicker, just a few days ago. And boom. SOMEBODY CHOOT ME... LOL. I had even gotten paranoid, that the "games" button up top, was too CLOSE underneath the "log out" button, lol... but no... I don't need any help, I can toss away my hard earned credits all by myself, rofl. OK, so I know, I'm not the only person here who has put long hours in, to make a huge faux pas... their OWN bad... and have to live to tell the tale... come on... admit it... tell me I'm not alone, lol.

roflmaooo ohhhhh Tammy dear, I feel your pain. We were having a moderator play off playing keno (I think lol) and I had been playing the game and doing a little, but very little work in the forum and I think I took a little power nap, but DrCrush was ahead of my score and it was getting close to the end of the contest.
Not that I'm a competitive person or anything lol but finally, I had beat the Drs score, clicked on submit and received an error message.
For your information or anybody elses, DO NOT play more then 19 hours on 1 game. The game resets itself after 19 hours, its actually 20 hours but please, please do not go that long.
So Tammy, when you find that 12 step program, wanna give me a call? lmao
I hope that you will be able to repeat your great score and possibly beat it!

rofl........ oh dear, we are not only getting some great/SAD game stories... but some awesome hardlearned tips!!! TY OrangeCrush!!!!! for your story....... awwww and for your VALUABLE insider tip!!! and I've gotten an error messege and lost many a point... however mine was due to timeout disconnection to my server I think... that is why I refresh my page every so often and make sure I am logged in.
and TY for making it possible for others reading my newbie post to link to this!!! you are outstanding!
and who here IS competitive ... not a single one of us , no of course not, we don't check the game points , we don't watch who's leading , we don't put in that extra few mins we have to spare packing on more points , no of course not... and we certainly make NO effort in WINNING the CONTESTSSSS ... ROFL... ok, so I fibbed, I beleive just about everyone here is a wee little bit competitive... mebbe??? hehe...
ok, and I have to admit, I'm not looking for a rehab TOO hard, rofl... crush-gamers-anon.com will have to be the next crush site, LOL.

I will come out of my "shell" and admit it hehe. I've done the same exact thing. Once, I didn't talk to myself for 3 days. I took my eyes off of the ball for a split second cuz a lit cig fell in my lap... with the GNP of a small country riding on it. I deliberated at length before of course choosing the wrong shell. DOH! At least now I know 19 hours is the cut off

Yes, so many times that I have to change shoes evry day to give the last pair time to dry out from all the tears! (Well, that might be a wee bit of an exaggeration -- but only because my shoes are almost never under my eyes! -- except they are pretty often, like every time my foot gets fed to my mouth!
Oh, oh, oh, looney haven, here I come............
and I'm bringing lots of friends who like to crush things!

lol......... oh we had some great replies to this... and the POLL is a trip... ok 7 out of 8 crushers, admit to moofing themselves or committing some other major league game points faux pas. Sounds like a toothpaste commercial, LOL
so... in effect, we need lots of tissues, clean pants, eyes in the back of our heads, crushable items, clicker finger steroids, self lighting cigarettes and a clock set for 18 hours and 59 minutes.

OMG Tammy been there done that numerous times in all sorts of ways!!
Before learning about the 20 hour reset thingy I had left a slot game open overnight so that I could continue the next day. Played for two days on and off and had a humungous score only to get that error message when I went to submit it.........OUCH!!!!. I have just kind of screwed up and closed a game window instead of hitting the submit button and I have even pulled your stunt and hit the game instead of the high score button ........oh that does hurt!
