Events ~ _____ trap

[geo]

I think the ''_____ trap!'' games should be banned really (like bunny trap, present trap etc.) as they can be slightly bias. I think you've got rid of the chain game and cc because they're bias, maybe it'd be a good idea to ban these from events as sometimes the host can be a little unfair - Lewis (Mk,) wasn't by the way, I just think people could be!

SORRY to be negative!!!

idk if it should have been posted here either but yeah!!

[Zelda]

I do agree with this Georgia, i think there is an element of bias tbh, if it was all wired then ok but as it I do agree, they should be banned like cc tbh ;)

It'd be great if wired could do it, but I don't think that would be possible, haha. :P

[Charlie]

Agreed. It's unfair if the host is going to be bias and let their friends win or whatever on games where that is possible, everyone should have a fair chance.

[kitten]

yea i think it's bias, just because of the comment above really, people might take it the wrong way if one of the hosts friend wins.

[beth]

i'd agree with this i remember one a while back where myself Kasabian; and Dave.; were being specifically targetted hahahaha.

[SackRace]

I AGREE @MK, IS A RUBBISH HOST WITH HOSTIN IT TOOC 'GANGIN UP ON ME NOT FAIR

[Zelda]

It'd be great if wired could do it, but I don't think that would be possible, haha. :P

As far as i can tell you would just have to programme all possible traps so it would be easy just very wired intensive, would needa be crazy to buy that much ;p

crazy or logan..... RemelKiid;

[Inseriousity.]

There was a time when these were banned so they must've crept back in with lack of enforcement or something. I'll talk to events managers about getting it banned again :)

[Zelda]

crazy or logan..... @RemelKiid (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=60296);


Ha ha ye ;p but generally unless your logan that's absolutely mad :)

[Kasabian]

i'd agree with this i remember one a while back where myself @Kasabian (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=20984); and @Dave. (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=73895); were being specifically targetted hahahaha.

But agreed, never liked the whole 'trap' thing.

[Jurv]

it's never really been a problem whilst i've been in the department which may be due to it not being hosted as often as it possibly was before. i don't think it would be a major problem if it was banned anyway. we'll just have to wait and see.

[David]

I think I remember this :O wasn't it in the vault

[Paige.]

I totally agree with this Georgia and I'm glad you posted it :)

[Gina]

I sent a PM to matt and cameron about it all earlier but yeh
I do agree with what you said and yh, it is really biased
and ross, if you have a complain about lewis, just pm it? whats the point of saying **** in a thread bout him :rolleyes:

[:odey:]

I did host some of these when I was in events,

And I did try and host them unbiased,

But I'm not gonna lie, I did sometimes get rid of the people I didn't like first... haaa :)

[beth]

na it was at yr favourite persons events. the ones with all the lodge corners.

[JerseySafety]

yeah way to many. needs to be stopped

[David]

LOL RIP best events host 2012.

[Seikou]

they've been banned now thankfully, i never liked the trap games, they weren't even fun and if the host disliked you, you sure wouldn't win, really unfair but glad they're gone

[Jurv]

yeah way to many. needs to be stopped

there's not actually that many being hosted, haha. it's been banned now anyway!

[JerseySafety]

ahhh interesting! :) Jurv;

[Mathew]

Oh, I didn't see this thread until now but we banned it earlier in light of the influx of PMs I received about it! :P Trap was held 4 times in December, 3 times in January, 3 times in February and 0 times in March. It's clear to see that it's never really been a huge issue, but we can see how it can be potentially abused (similar to Costume Change which is also banned).

I don't remember a time when it was banned in the past either. I remember hosting it back when I first joined the team during the Valentines period in February 2009! :P

Thanks for your feedback! :)

[Samantha]

Trapping games are extremely unfair regardless of who the host is and where they're putting the items.

I remember always playing these and because I didn't team up or group I got targetted when the sticky rules specifically said group people will be targetted more. If you don't go with your own rules then don't host the game at all tbf.

Glad to see the department taking on feedback though.

Just wanted to add on that about a year ago I created a thread asking for both trap games and 5 seconds to kick to be banned and I was ignored (from the info I got from Mathew just now). I do understand that 5 seconds to kick is not hosted a lot, however to my knowledge it was hosted a fair bit in HxSS last year and is scattered around the year here and then.

Quite frankly I've never liked the 5 seconds to kick game because the organisation of the game can be ruined. Firstly I was quite sure that events organisers and general management were the only ones to get rights in an event because they're the only ones who, generally, can be trusted with them (even if some do indeed slip out of the net). Within those 5 seconds, though, bars can be moved and any ghosts could get in and then can carry on playing the game, giving them an unfair advantage. Furthermore when it was hosted before, several members in the VIP area were kicked several times, kind of defeating the object of the game. It just makes it look like the host's fault when they're not even playing the game causing more trouble than it's worth, I feel.

Maybe that's just me, though.

That is just you lol. I've enjoyed that game myself and I think generally people want to win more than they want to cause disruption and it's really easy to see who's abusing the rights cos yeah only one person has rights at a time. Never seen it abused myself. :D

Perhaps. I think my problem is the consequences of those who disrupt (which does happen even if you've not seen it!) as the host gets the stick and some people may creep in.
