nice event. fix it, please.

Acidia refers. An idle player should not be able to win hot potato, as it
means they never received it at all while the players who were actually trying
received it multiple times.
Nothing to be fixed in the event if someone you have never heard of won it
just because no-one tossed the potato to him. He just got lucky that someone
else always 'won' the random draw on who gets the new potato when the previous
one exploded.

"fix" to "could you please alter" to make this event worth participating
other than with triggering and idling.

can win idly and get crap for it can't be worth having, it's just a waste of

sitting there chatting and not actually playing the game, but still never had
the potato thrown to him? I think the fact he was idle is irrelevant. As for
the reward not being worth the effort of keeping track of who is still in or
not, that is a valid point, and that can be looked into.

don't know for a fact that s/he never touched a potato. Whereas, the idle
person clearly did not.
I like potatoes. It's one of my favorite events. It's silly, pointless, and
merely yields a silly, pointless title to the winner. All it needs is a tweak
in the algorithm for giving the new potatoes, making it more likely for idle
players to get them and therefore less likely for someone who has already
tossed one to get a new one.

Just make potatoe like bloodbath, in that person with most tosses wins. If you
get blowed up you lose some points, but tossing at least means you're active
in the game. Or yes, remove the event all together.

it would make sense.
Not much sense in 2 guys tossing it to each others hundreds of times:)

he/she wasn't sitting at the keyboard during the whole event with 'toss potato
to beliar' on his prompt just waiting for the potato only to never receive it.
If you take the time, and keep track of who's still in and who isn't, an idle
player should never win. I don't see a need to make it easier for people who
won't put in the proper effort. Is it worth it? Prolly not, which just
reinforces the point that this isn't a big enough 'problem' to do anything
about. An idle guy won a meaningless contest. Oh no! I suppose we could up
the reward, and then it'd be warranted to punish idlers, but then we'd have to
make the potato damage you when it explodes, and give you scars from the hot
spuds on your skin. No pain no gain!
I don't see what's all the big fuss about the potato event anyways...I
personally just type 'who' when it starts, do command tt toss elwood;toss
beliar;toss hackop;toss juo,toss nuane;toss dralith;toss acidia;toss
kimvais;...
and then when i get the potato, i just run that command which will bash
through all players...
