HGM Hostory Interview I

>Punk: Who would you say is the "worst" host ever
>in HG history
>HGM: hmmm, that's a difficult one
>because it's either between Hunger Host and Nth
>Punk: Which would you say was more damaging to the games?
>HGM: Hunger Host
>definitely
>but then Nth killed the drawteam with his shittyness
>it's... a tough choice
>I always considered that what made the HG alive were the work of everyone, and if everyone started to hate that stuff, then the games would die
>yes, Season 2's sidegame riggings were awful, but we standed that shit
>Punk: Were there any experiences with HH that put the thought of 'rigged' in your mind before he was revealed?
>HGM: too much Star Vs winners
>Punk: When exactly did people realize that HH was WWG?
>HGM: now that one I don't remember correctly
>but I think he confessed to his sins when he was outed as a rigger
>Punk: Do you think there were any games that HH let play normally?
>HGM: yes
>but they were probably minimal or weren't related to waifus
>...which makes me think now there were probably none :^)
>Punk: What do you imagine it was like being a person who nommed one of those people?
>i.e. Star or Teri
>in both success and scandal
>HGM: probably the same feel I get when I won the loser round 4 of [Season 8]
>GREAT, BABY
>...unless HH also had nominated those specific guys
>and if he didn't and if the guys legit nominated them, they could have been a little ABSOLUTELY LIVID
>just like me
>that day was a really really upsetting day for me, I felt like I couldn't trust anyone
>Punk: Do you think anything positive came out of him?
>HGM: HH's actions, despite what he did, made us learn to be careful about who hosts
>to check any mistake, even a single one, and to be a little bit more tolerant with anons... until the events with retard and Roy and... ugh
>Punk: I guess we're winding down here, so a few more questions
>How would you describe HH, without bringing into account rigging games?
>HGM: The guy at least admitted to his mistakes and tried to make up for it, so I can't be that hard on him, yes, that was an assholish move, but apparently a lot of hosts did it too under our nose
>Punk: Really?
>HGM: both in /v/ and /co/, apparently
>Punk: I know of course of Nepfag, the 8/v/ version of you who ended up killing the games as a whole there
>Any other examples?
>HGM: there was apparently a host who let a lot of neo-/v/ (back then) noms win
>Punk: and in /co/ itself?
>HGM: some guys who left suddenly
>don't remember plenty of names
>Punk: Do you think any character can live down what was given to them by HH?
>HGM: yes, Star managed to unJUST herself in a Main Game already, and without rigging
>the thing is, Star Butterfly isn't a culprit, she is just the symbol of the carnage that happened there
>Punk: That reminds me, if you think about it, HH managed to successfully shift the blame off him and into the nominees that won instead
>HGM: that's what always happens
>Punk: Characters like Star were villified while he walked off scott-free
>(until the reveal)
>HGM: it's easier to blame the character for being too lucky than the host fucking with people
>for the host, we needed proof
>Punk: Were there any experiences you had with HH himself?
>HGM: I was nice to him, he stabbed me in the back, I did the right thing and both closed the wound and killed the stabber (as in, was officially banned)
>Punk: Finally
>What would you say to someone learning about HH for the first time?
>HGM: learn from the mistakes and don't make them again
>don't let the power of waifuism/husbandoism control you, and remember, it's a game, so have fun you idiots
