I joined a party and came in right on top of the host. I moved my avatar yet the host still called me out, so I left the party. The host engaged in a whisper chat after I’d left and I explained that I had wanted to support her challenge party but left because I felt uncomfortable. I thought we had smoothed things over but later discovered that she had blocked me. That’s fine. I don’t have a problem with that. But I’m discovering more and more people are blocking me, especially if I happen to join a party where the aforementioned host is present. Really, I’m finding I’m blocked by people with whom I’ve never interacted. It’s so bad, that one person greeted me and then suddenly blocked me I suspect at the urging of the original host. I really try to be a good citizen and contribute to every party I attend. At this rate, I feel I will one day join a full party and not be able to see anyone. What, if anything, can be done about a party engaged in a blocking campaign?
Talk about childish games…. I’d also like to hear what others think.
I have found that I have been blocked by a couple of avatars that I have no recollection of meeting. I find it curious but I couldn’t say it was enough to feel like a campaign. I have wondered if it’s because I’m from the UK and also whether it may have been people I inadvertently offended before I had any clue about party protocols etc
I don’t worry about it or take it to heart, when I log off it all disappears
I’m sorry this happened to you. I know someone who blocked me that I only found out about bc I had tried to send a friend request. Another person sent me a nasty message in my inbox bc apparently I was stepping on her toes at a party and didn’t realize it. I find it all to be childish and just let it go and enjoy the ppl I am friends with. There are too many nice ppl on here to let a few bad apples spoil it. Hang in there! And yes you are welcome at any party I ever throw, as is anyone else. Best Regards!
In another instance, (I suspect the same culprit) I contributed to party nearly to the point of bust, blinked my eye and without warning, found myself floundering in the lobby. It’s one thing to block a person. It’s quite another to solicit others to block a person. It feels like a form of bullying.
I’ve had the same thing happen to me @Goose_Rocks . It bugs me that they wait until the point of bust and then block me, after I’ve spent gems to help bust the party. Some very childish players on this game. Fortunately, there are many others on here who are great people.
I have been here over 5 years and still get blocked or have to block others it’s going to happen, just move on. Just have as much fun and relax as much as you can 
. Happy Holidays everyone
@Goose_Rocks i know you must feel disappointed and unappreciated, believe me you are not the only one here that are being treated like that. When something like that happens, my opinion is to not give it a second thought, try not to go to those people parties anymore and stay away from their drama, because it will ruin the time you spend in cw trying to relax and have a good time. You are welcomed to come to any of my parties and my friends’ parties too. Just have fun. And of course if someone is acting inappropriately block him and report it to the management.
For crying out loud, don’t those people not understand we have no way of knowing where we are going to get ‘plunked’ when we enter a room?
Edit in bold
I completely understand where you’re coming from. That kind of drama is exactly why I stopped hosting smaller (1x, 2x, 3x) uni parties. I found that moving to larger parties helps filter out the riff-raff.
When I was new here, there was one specific avatar (gone now, thank goodness) who made things difficult. I was just starting out and could count my gems on one hand, so I was just trying to collect charms to move up. Every small party I went to, this guy would call me out and say nasty things, trying to pressure me, the host, or anyone else he was targeting to toss. It got so bad that I actually stopped going to parties unless I knew he wasn’t online.
Even when I tried larger ~1000-pass parties, I’d get called out by hosts expecting contributions when I had maybe 5 gems to my name. It really made me question the culture here. Why the hostility toward new players? I eventually found ‘GnG’ (Grab and Go) parties and learned to leave rooms quickly to avoid the pressure, since many had ‘or SnP (Stay and Play)’ rules. I always thought: why not let new users stay and benefit from the charms? It makes no difference to the players tossing, so why drive people away? In other words you’d rather the free seat go empty than have someone benefit from it?
Then there were the ‘name calling’ parties; there used to be so many of them. It felt like high school. We’re all adults here; why do we need a roll call just to toss charms? Then when you inadvertently ended up in a names called toss required party, you get drama and bickering from either the host or the attendees. I told myself that if I ever had the ability, I would try to change what I could. That was actually the main reason I requested that CW create ‘Toss Required’ parties (Blitz) before they even existed. I hoped it would reduce those roll-call parties and the hostile hosts (not all) that came with them. I’m doing my best now to make things as easy as possible for new players so they don’t have to go through what I did.
I’ve also experienced the petty stuff, like people constantly standing right in front of me just to annoy me. My advice is to just filter them out. After a while, you realize who your real friends are.
Because of those experiences, when I host now, EVERYONE is welcome. I don’t care if you don’t toss or stay silent. I don’t care where your avatar is in the room; you can be right in front of me and it makes no difference. I’ll be moving to the next room pretty quickly anyway. Having overflows generally filters out even more riff-raff. The only time I check who tossed is if it’s a huge charm so I can say thanks. I’m too busy keeping the overflow going, reading the room messages, responding, and holding the next overflow. Don’t let them get to you!
You are welcome to come to my parties anytime. I always host on the weekends following the treasure box speedup, usually the 2nd or 3rd weekend of the month. DG and I do 4 parties a day at the same times: 10:45 AM, 11:45 AM, 12:45 PM, and 1:45 PM Pacific Time. Save your passes and come by! We have enough overflow in the 4 parties to use up all the passes you’ve saved over a week, or even three. The group of friends there will welcome you with open arms. 
If there is enough demand, DG and I are also open to changing our party times or adding more parties at other times if these hours don’t work for everyone.
Thanks, Night Guy. I look forward to joining your parties.
Everyone is welcome!!! I too try to accommodate to everyone hosting parties that are Blitz as low as 2 gems, no one in my parties will be allowed to bully or to stand on anyone I watch close. As far as blocking goes that’s everyone choice who or why they block. I have many blocked for good reasons, not about tossing at all though, it’s about rudeness or just a nasty person. Just move on there’s many more parties to go too,alot of us are responsible hosts. Pick you friends list wisely. you don’t need to be on everyone list anyway. Some just need to grow up and be nice, or just keep quiet, not to disrupt party rooms
I do the same. I only host GNG 10x Pony parties and i have noticed it will keep out a lot of the trouble-makers who frequent the smaller parties because its all they can attend.
I always make it a point to welcome everyone. Give thanks when people toss a charm (When they don’t have to) I also give thanks at the end of my parties and let them for making the party a success.
I also tend to throw out some jokes now and then to help keep it light.
Mostly, I try and foster a party that is welcoming to ALL.
This all reminds me of something I learned from my mom when kids were making fun of me: “Sometimes people are just a–holes, don’t waste your time on them.” There are enough kind people here and fun parties - the true cool kids are the kind kids. I know you’ll find us and those other parties will wither away as their cliques diminish from normal attrition.
I think some don’t appreciate that everyone contributes to just to get a party started. If the people didn’t show and expend party passes or jewels, then there would be no party.
Exactly @Goose_Rocks I appreciate anyone that comes into one of my parties, because just them being there is all that is needed. There is never any expectations to toss charms, or even say anything if the choose not too. Just their presence is enough to help make the party a success. And like you said, they are the ones expending their passes/gems to come in. It would be unreasonable to say to someone “You just spent 9,500 to come into my party, and now you HAVE to do THIS as well.”
Nope…that won’t happen! That’s why I appreciate anyone coming in and just being there.
Just went to a Blitz party, paying my share to get in and throwing many charms. Didn’t know it was a mandatory throw 3 yachts and was called out both publicly and privately. Apologized as much as I could and tried to send even some private apologies only to find those players had blocked me within seconds! And they called me rude. I beg to differ! How can apologies be rude? I don’t mind them blocking me, I don’t need to party with the likes of ppl like that.
A yacht is worth roughly one uni…why don’t they just host a 3x GnG uni party? Maybe they just get a charge out of bullying people, who knows?
I never go to Blitz or names called parties for 2 reasons. One is even if I had the gems to spare for other player’s benefit this is a game it’s only a business for Flow Play yet some seem to treat it like one. There’s only one actual financial reward available which is achieving VIP for life and no longer having to pay the subscription. The other is friend told me very early on that the bigger the cost the more likely they won’t be worth the gem investment in terms of advancing you through the MS
I avoid going to the so called “names called” or “toss something” parties just for that reason. If i want to toss and can toss i want to be free to do so as i see fit, not because someone forces me. That’s why when i do a party i always say come and have some fun, no need to toss anything. I know some can’t afford it, i don’t either and i really just want for friends and all that can come to be able to relax and have fun!
