Events Automated

I know that most events on the server are automated, but I believe there are a few that the event team members can change the rules last minute to "rig" the events.

For instance, Cube Wars. The NPC server PM says "Guess the correct number to win!". It also mentioned that the rules can be change by the Event Team Member. When you get multiple people in the event, and the Team Member doesn't mention rules at all BEFORE starting the event, they can change whether Odd or Even wins, and kick whoever they don't "like" depending on the number the cube says. Odd could mean Odd wins (Which the Server PM say) or it could mean Odd loses.

Just some insight on events. Not saying anybody in specific is rigging events, I just believe with human nature, events can be rigged to helping some more than others.

Event Masters cant manipulate the events like setting a player as winner by default or such. In Even/Odd the cube displayed always wins. If an EM announces that the Cube is always the losing side, its fine. But this needs to be announced before the Event starts, not changing this during each round or whatever.

I do agree with this, but Event Team Members say they have set the rule in the past, but for players not around during normal events and the team member not announcing it BEFORE they host the event causes issues. Nuno hosted Even/Odd without mentioning the losing number is on the cube, which caused me to believe I was kicked from the event early.

This should be mentioned to all Event Team Members, as it could cause problems for future events with Facebook coming along.

Like I said, any rules changes needs to be announced BEFORE the event. A statement like "its set in the past already" is not valid. Reports please to the Events Admin.
