HoH - Is it random now?

Jan 20, 2009 by malik0
See http://www.tengaged.com/blog/randomize/19708/algorithm-bugs for an update!

----

I heard a new Algorithm was installed, but I didn't know what the changes were, so if this has been posted already, sorry.

Before this new algo was installed, the most active person won HoH in Rookies games other than Day 1 which was random.

However in my current Rookies game, the most active people haven't won HoH on either Day 2 or Day 3, and lost out to less active people (no offence Unnamed and Bubbly, I hope this doesn't shoot me in the foot :D). 

The algo nomination does appear to actually be the least active person, though :o  I don't know if the veto conditions have changed.

I was wondering if this means HoH is random between those who are safe now?

And, any other thoughts or answers about the new algorithm would be appreciated. :D

I hope not, but it probably is. Phanne didn't win a HoH she was eligible for, riot!

Thanks guys. 

Hoping it isn't totally random - activity should be rewarded somehow, even if HoH is random between the top 3 people (like what veto is meant to be).

Randomize!  Are you out there??
Sent by NoelSarah,Jan 20, 2009
Good question!  I've been wondering about this since seeing Randomize mention a new Algo in another blog...
Sent by Daisy,Jan 20, 2009
Yeah I'd like to know personally.
Weird as hell.

In my rookie game the least active got pov 2 times in a row!!

This is making me nervous!
Sent by Emmaleigh,Jan 20, 2009
Me too, Emily, I'm more worried about my bets than my current game, actually.
Sent by malik0,Jan 20, 2009
Yeah I'm completely confused of what is going on with it too.. I'm not liking it.. :(
Sent by AngelOfWater,Jan 20, 2009
me too!! its weird
Sent by hexylia,Jan 20, 2009
k the new algo officially makes no sense... the most inactive person in my game got HOH and the active ppl are up on the block. Hmmmm
Sent by Emmaleigh,Jan 20, 2009
o.m.g.
Sent by Laqueefsha,Jan 20, 2009

has anyone mailed Randomize to ask him.. shall I?
Sent by EssexGirl,Jan 21, 2009
If this is how the new Algo is going to work (least active receiving HOH and POV), I can forsee traffic being reduced on the site.  Why be active if you are not rewarded for it?  If HOH will go to the least active, then why sign on but for only an hour once a day???
Sent by Daisy,Jan 21, 2009
I have mailed him and asked him if he is likely to make any announcement or blog about the way the algo has changed... will let you know if and when I receive a reply
Sent by EssexGirl,Jan 21, 2009
maybe its just teething problems Daisy .. i cant imagine randomize allowing the algo to spoil the site.. hopefully we will find out soon what is going on
Sent by EssexGirl,Jan 21, 2009
I hope so, EG, because it doesn't make sense at all now. 

I've got to sign off - I'm being too active to win HOH or POV later. :O
Sent by Daisy,Jan 21, 2009
The algo seemed to be working fine for HOH on my game (well after the two HOHs for phanne thing was fixed)
Sent by supergoten,Jan 21, 2009
I agree Daisy.  And then the inactive people will nom whoever is active because they are a threat at the end :D  Brilliant :p

The Day 1 tip also lies now, since it says the most actives are eligible for HoH, lol.

I did mail Randomize the other day but I never got a reply.    Let me know if any of you hear anything.
Sent by malik0,Jan 21, 2009
I mailed randomize as well... this new thing could really ruin tengaged.  What is the incentive for people to log on and chat if there is no reward?
Its purely random and makes this not a game, just luck.
