HXSS Cheating

[The Don]

It has come to my attention that a lot of shady stuff is occurring in hxss. For example, today in flemflemflem;'s event, a lot of stuff was handled poorly and represents habbox in a negative light on habbo.

For example, someone who doesn't use habbox came into the event, and she was struggling to move to the front of the queue due to various wood plinths in the way. Rather than waiting so that this less experienced user could play, instead she was told "move or kick in 5" when she was quite clearly saying she couldn't move. She was then kicked.

The hovering rule is ridiculous as staff can say you hovered when you clearly didn't, which happened to me just now. Other users were backing me up saying that I didn't hover, but because Shawnyy; was friends with the user whose seat i stole, she voted that i did hover (even though when all this fuss first stated she said "what?" because she clearly had no idea what was going on)

[GoldenMerc]

it's all became a little too competitive, not sure if some users realise this isn't a life or death game

[David]

it ends today doesnt it? no point complaining now

[Red]

That girl was struggling to move and shouldn't have been kicked, however she apparently left. And the hover rule is there for good reason, its fine and an essential part of pod races or else people would just be standing around the chairs as soon as the dice was rolled. I didn't see the move so I can't comment but more people said you hovered rather than didn't.

[lawrawrrr]

Basically what ross said. There are obviously a few questionable things going on, but most of the time it's a lack of observation on the host's part (they are extremely busy during events and can't necessarily see everything) or a bit of light persuasion on the players' part to get their team a bit of an advantage.

[GoldenMerc]

maybe if people didn't complain as much, we'd get more games per hour, more points per hour ;)
overall i think the hosts done a good job tbh :)

[flemflemflem]

This thread is a load of LIES. The user that was new to the habbox events was having trouble getting in the que. i said to her to move or i would kick, but i didn't know she was having trouble so i didn't kick her, so she could try move, then she left and now dj is saying i kicked her when she left. And when dj was playing my game of defend you maj, he hovered of his chair so i said hover 1 because he hovered. I has many users backing me up saying he did hover, witch he clearly did hover, this user was being offensive to others e.g swearing and using nasty words. This user is a complete liar and everything eh said was a lie. Thanks ... Brad ;')

That's really not cool... Mathew; @inserisity;

[Calvin]

I got a warning for hovering my own seat :(

[MKR&*42]

That's really not cool... @Mathew (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=31230); @inserisity;
Inseriousity; needs an easier name tbh XD.

Omg OT: Ah well, it's the last day and there have been so many complaints this year that I don't think it can be as bad next year really.

[Catchy]

I don't understand why everybody is taking it so serious. I really can not wait for it to be over, it's all anybody actually talks about. I'm finding it hard to actually have a decent conversation with anyone apart from a few now because it seems all anybody cares about is HxSS. At the end of the day it's only a game and there's no need for it to be so competitive and cause arguments. Roll on 12am is all I say.

[Kyle]

flemflemflem is only new give him a break

There's often a thin line between hovering and not hovering but the bottom line is that the host has the final say. :)

Doesn't make sense. You didn't know she was having trouble so you didn't kick her? |-) I don't know whether she left or was kicked, I assumed she was kicked due to you counting down the time she had left to move whilst quite a few other users were trying to tell you that she didn't know how to move.

I didn't hover at all, you had shawnny agree with you, who didn't even see it otherwise why would she be really confused? and the user whose chair I stole. Call me a liar all you want, but I know what I saw...

[buttons]

i honestly couldn't click the chair earlier and i got so much abuse lol can't help that i'm a noob
like i actually couldn't move and redclifford abused the **** out of me and he's supposed to be staff ;l

[BeardedBuilders]

I was not present during the kicking of the new player, although i did see you hover. The reason i would have said 'what?' is if someone had repeatedly said my name. I have mentioned in my events, that during events i do not read peoples messages, which is the reason i would have said that. Although you did hover.. you didnt have to be a drama queen and leave.. you still had 2 chances, so although you did hover just the once, you made the issue larger by leaving completely.
You also swore at myself and other staff members during the event, which is not acceptable, especially seeing as we do not all the the age of the contestants. I don't believe you meant to make a issue out of it, but i do think that your actions were taken due to your competitiveness, which is understandable during the HxSS, but shouldn't be used as a excuse to have a go at others.

Please also take on that we are 'trialists' so our judgement may or may not have been 100% correct, but we have to go by what we have seen, and players like yourself do not help during these stressful times.

Thank you

One thing that is clearly under the light is the way habbox eos actually treat the hover rule. A basic flaw of understanding is brought in, not only is ncing considered hovering when it shouldnt be, but you can be accused of hovering your own chair / hovering by stealing after its placed :L Quite frankly if you dont know the hover rule properly you shouldnt host games that use it simple as. And that doesnt mean turn hovers off in pod racing as it just makes it more boring than watching paint dry. I wasnt present in event so i wouldnt like to say but cheating ctainly has been going on tbf.

The hover rule is, like other game rules, open to interpretation. If I host a pod race then I consider hovering your "own chair" as hovering, just as it would be if you hovered the chair next to you, since it would make it near impossible to steal a chair if the person sat on it clicked before it was even placed and got onto it every time.

I remember it used to be if you just get up before the chair is moved but last night I had to go back to my pod because I had clicked on the spot as soon as the pod was moved resulting in me getting there before the other person..

If the pod has been moved before you've clicked then that isn't hovering. Host probably wasn't paying attention.

[Calvin]

If the pod has been moved before you've clicked then that isn't hovering. Host probably wasn't paying attention.I managed to click the spot at the exact same time the pod was moved.
Habbic; you cheater!

[Zelda]

lol thats ridiculous they made you go back for going after pod was placed? :S it gets worse and worse

[sex]

wow is there really a feedback thread about hovering lol

[Andii]

it's all became a little too competitive, not sure if some users realise this isn't a life or death game

I agree new users in a game last night were telling me they wer waiting for the whole event but everyone kept pushing infront of them then when try finally got to the front members of black team said no more events when there was 10mins left just because they didn't want the points to be split.

An in other cases I noticed that when a new user won the event and said a different team e.g.blue then members of the black team would shout boooo also when new users said black members of our said boooo at them. This year has got to be the worst year yet clearly putting new users off habbox. And signing up to the forum.



THANK FRIG IT ENDS TODAY

[Calvin]

lol thats ridiculous they made you go back for going after pod was placed? :S it gets worse and worsethen someone else stole my seat so I had to go in theirs :(

[Zelda]

wow hosts needa get a grip if they allowing that. Quite frankly with the state of pod racing events every single time it'd just be better of as one of the other banned events, considering all that ever happens is fighting and arguements every time its hosted. Either that or hosts l2host, as would be suggested in the name "host".

[geo]

i blame orientalframe?;

feeling sorry for the host right now omg.

[orientalframe?]

HEY MCDONALDS :'(

no but like is there any point complaining it's towards the event and there has been enough

[Inseriousity.]

I'm a bit confused as to how any of this has been branded as cheating. If anything, as you and flem are on the same team, it'd look more suspicious to say that you hadn't hovered if you did.

Some of the posts in this thread are ridiculous. Events organisers are human which inevitably means that during games they may miss things including last minute hovers (I have seen a few of these situations where it looks like a hover but it's hard to tell). I do not think they need to be publically hung, drawn and quartered every time this happens.

[:odey:]

it ends today doesnt it? no point complaining now

This.
Just enjoy your last few hours of HxSS,
And get it all over and done with.

[dbgtz]

Can I just say that calling it the hover rule makes no sense, hovering is staying in one spot. Just pointing that out.

[Zelda]

^^ what they are on about when they give warnings is noobclicking, which really they shouldnt be but is debatable across hosts, and how early itis, completely agree with tom.

[Rixion]

Dear lord how petty, it's all just a game.. if new users went into the room and saw all the fussing and frolicking no-one will want to join in the games because of how people are acting. Put on a sticky the rules of the room, hovering rule, AFK in queue rules etc and tell people to read it because they won't have a clue what you're going on about half the time and won't be best impressed when they're kicked and confused to why they are. When I did the HxSS in 2009 it was all friendly competition and now it has grown into a big "he said she said" thing?

[Empired]

Ok it's annoying, but at the end of a day it's just an event. Shouting does nothing but make Habbox look bad, annoy everyone else and get you kicked. I could understand if the host was being deliberately biased and kicking people to let their friends in, but getting a hover wrong every now and then is just an accident. Not every host is out to get you Jan! :)

oh no thats not me complaining charlie about that ;P thats me saying that they do it every time for some of them, and not saying it shouldnt be done ;p

[-Nick]

Well you said that person had trouble getting in... Wtf simple solution but rollers in the line :/.... The next question is awkward because some hosts allow

*Hover on own chair not others
*Hover not allowed
*Hover Allowed

Most hosts just say hover off... But if your liked by the host they will let you of... I think there should be a senior and experience staff member in events at all times (when possible).

well

1) it aint hovering on ur own chair

2) that wouldnt work with senior or managers and stuff because different people have different opinions of what hovering is, and youd only end up in the same situation.

to summarise that wont really work, and well if a host is obviously favouring someone then you report them to mathew

[orientalframe?]

um hello lukeachu just banned me from his event for no reason what is this

Not all the hosts can afford rollers though. Hosts don't favourite, I've not seen this really in any event, sometimes they have to go on what other people say, if they're lagging or just simply not looking. It's impossible to say senior/management should be in there at all times - there's only 3 of them and they're all UK. You can't force people to play yknow :/ Most of the time the other players will tell the host something they missed, exactly what happened here.

Don't blame him tbh :l. Kidding xo

Should probably pm mathew or someone chels xD.

[ashescool]

from what ive seen HxSS events are more competitive than i thought, there was no need for this thread, it was one game, these hosts are hosting out of their own time and their own furni. People should stop complaining and realize it was only a game, there will be plenty more, personally i think that his hosting was fine, so i wish people would stop moaning at events hosts style of hosting, we all having different ways and views on how to host events.

[nvrspk4]

Happens every year, people are over competitive, but at the end of the day almost everyone enjoys themselves and looks forward to the next one. There are always improvements that can be made of course :)

[JerseySafety]
