I didn't get a prize   LOL.

Unless you count toasted "biscuits" as a prize. 

ROFL 

Oh...and I meant 'well done' as opposed to 'medium rare'...

Take that you two!hehehee

[flamanar]

Sigh.  It continues.  Here is a pic from tonight:



First person said it, but looks like they had an extra space in front.  Still, they were able to say the hosts title.

I said it today during the Host Hunt and it went through, but someone else won.  How does that happen?!?!?!  Also I tried again in another room and these people keeping talking about stupid things and even said a cuss word and didn't get banned for it.  They kept freezing me up by talking, changing clothes over and over again and even using fairy (not turning it off and flying around the room).  Also they kept sending trade and friend requests and they already had their Snow Shoes.  I seriously liked the old host games better!

Oh, and wanted to add that I sent in a help report and I got a message from them saying:

Thank you for your report.  HOST_Dragon had already been found before you entered the room.VFK Staff

Um, huh, how is that possible if I said it and it went through?  Also I was in the room with her (The Crossroads) cause she put up a message saying where she was.

Sigh, I wanted some snow shoes too.

That is a bummer, Crazy.  Those people doing that stuff in the room were most undoubtedly doing those things on purpose to either force people to leave because of lag, or to DC them.  I'd bet good money one of their clones won in that room.  It's a 'strategy' I'm seeing used more and more often.  I think it's......................way uncool.  One might refer to it as 'dirty pool'.

The fact that the words went out of your box merely means that she was in the room while you were...but she had already been found if your text wasn't highlighted in blue.

I have more to add about what I've been told about the 'host hunt bug'...but don't have the time right now.  Sigh.

I was never able to have it go through before even when she was in the room if someone had already won, but c'est la vie.

I don't doubt this for a second because when I became unfrozen she had already came and a girl standing near the talkers won.  I even tried to ignore them, but was swamped with requests for friendship and trades that it was very hard to get them all.  Oh well, I gave up on the hunt after that because if people like that need it so badly then I don't need the drama.  I hardly win Host Prizes because of the dirty pool so I am use to it anyway.  I just wish Host Games were back so everyone had a chance to win and could have a shot at the prize.  I know it won't be as rare, but I just like the items, I don't care if they are rare or not.

If you get a trade request during a host hunt, announce that you are not trading.  If they persist, report them.  If they send a friend request, click the 'x' in the top right of the box to make it go away.  They won't be able to friend request you again, and you can decline the request when you log back on the next time   Same with trades, really.  Just leave the box open or 'x' it out.  Not sure about whether that keeps the trade request 'active' or not...haven't tested it.  Still, if you've made it known that you don't accept trades and they request a trade anyways, it's report time.

Ty, I didn't know about Xing the box out.  I usually hit decline and they ask over and over again.    I usually report if it gets really bad, but then I am also missing the hunt at the same time so in some ways their plan still works.  Anywho, I did report the guy who cussed and he stayed right there with no ban so I just gave up.

Kay.  Finally caught up with my pictures all the way back before Christmas.  Blech!

Now:  host hunts.  Sigh.  Not sure what to think of this anymore.  I've seen their system mess up numerous times, provided I don't know how many pictures, etc.  They fixed it once, and now it's broken again.  The latest response I got to my last report (see a few posts back in this thread) was this:
-----------
"Hi,

Thank you for your note.

What you have noticed is not a bug.  You are correct, the person had a space in front of their statement which means that they did not say it correctly.  The first person to say "I found HOST_Dragon" correctly will have the blue winning outline around their chat.  You can see incorrect attempts, but no correct attempts after the winning one.

As long as the Host is in the room, everyone can say their name in order to chat with them."
----------
Um...a couple things here.  First, you can see incorrect attempts...but as far as I know, you are NOT supposed to be able to say HOST_Dragon if you're not the winner.  I will test this in the near future if I get the chance.

Also, there have been correct attempts recently that didn't win!  Also...has anyone actually had ANY time to say a single word to Dragon?  She usually says something to the effect of 'congrats, bye!'.  Poof.  Not even time to type a TY, let alone chat!

I know there is a disconnect between the office (who I believe screen the help reports) and the developers.  The response came from the office.  So the question is...how to ask Enigma if this is correct?  I don't want to upset office staff with trying to go over their head...but this still needs fixed, and I believe the office people to be incorrect about what is supposed to happen.  The blast we all get between rounds is as follows:



Well that leaves very little to the imagination.  It MUST be said EXACTLY!  So...when is exact not exact?  When soon is soon?  I was also told on a separate occasion by the office that you can say anything after the word Dragon and the program will ignore it.  'Exact'?  I'm confused and not sure where to go from here...

I said it today and it went through, but nothing came up and I was like where is the blue thing and why isn't it showing up?  Then someone else says it and the blue bubble appears and I was like no way he definitely said it after me so I wrote a report.  I got a message back saying I was third.  That is not possible because I said it and it went through AND there was no blue bubble till later on.  I mean I can see later on when she appeared in a different room I was in and it went through, but I saw the other girl's bubble right away so we must of said it at the same time, but NO WAY did I say it in third place.  If that was true the blue bubble would of appeared right away and not later on for someone else.  NOT FAIR!

Ok, sorry I had to get that off my chest.      This is not the first time it has happened to me and it just gets annoying.

I hate host hunts 

[flamanar]

I feel your pain, people.  Flame despises host hunts, too.  Too much cheating.  Too many people 'gaming the system' (many times at the expense of others).  Time for a new avenue to win prizes instead of this mess.  The replies I've received to my help reports lately on the host hunt bug have been LESS than satisfactory.  It's becoming my opinion that they are trying to sweep any problems with the hunts under the rug now.  It doesn't even matter if I send screen shots anymore.  .It even got a response to one of her reports not long ago when she was beat out by someone who said it wrong...it said that "capitalization is not evaluated when determining the winner of the HOST Hunt"     I'm trying to figure out why they've decided to ignore their OWN BLASTS which SPECIFICALLY STATE that the correct phrase NEEDS TO BE SAID EXACTLY!!!  Sigh.  I'm about to give up.  I just don't get it.

Then there is the separate issue of the same people winning 4, 5 or even more times EVERY HUNT.

Flamanar...exactly.
