Um... right.

All I can remember being banned when I was in school were pogs (shows my age, eh?) and slap bracelets (not a game, but still...).

Dude pogs are f'n gansta.

I had a lot of the Batman Forever ones that were shaped
like batarangs and sharp (zomg).

I was feared and loathed as the Pogemon master of my
school. :greenie:

Kick-can hockey in the classroom.

Back in grade 9 we'd gather in the classroom during recess and lunchtime, clear all the desks to the sides, and play "kick-can hockey", which was really soccer (football to the rest of the world), with full contact body checks like in hockey, kicking a squashed pop can which resembled a puck, instead of a ball.

Yes, it was banned.

What a game though :p

Onced banned we'd convene out on the baseball field, where we'd play body contact soccer (football), with a soccer ball. A mixture of hockey and soccer. Or just plain old soccer with the manliness of ice hockey's crunching body-checks.

Good times.

xD Seriously. It wouldnt surprise me in the least.

My school wasn't staffed by anti-fun Nazis like most of yours seem to have been.

I believe pogs had pretty much a nation-wide ban at schools. The reason being that parents would spend hoardes of money buying these pogs for their kids, only to have the kid come home crying because they'd lost all of them to a better player. I think that pretty much happens with all the card games and whatnot.

Slap bracelets were an obvious ban though. Those things friggin hurt.

Pogs weren't banned at my school, but most people played for fun rather than keeps.

Then again, Pogs were out by the time I left Primary school, before then even, so it didn't last for long.

Sounds rather funny though, I thought England was the country that was entirely against kids being competitive, but I guess I was wrong.

TheAbominatrix
09-26-2005, 02:43 PM
I can remember only playing for fun as well, but I suppose it was the few spoiling it for the many, as usual.

American schools are big on pushing the competition, but anal on what they consider 'gambling'.

Lindy

Apparently fighting to the death is somehow dangerous. Pft, it ain't like it used to be. I used to get my ass kicked from morning til night, and if I complained the teachers used to put me in front of the class and humiliate me for being weak.

Whats a tomagatchi?

SammieBabe
09-26-2005, 03:06 PM
They were these little ....things that had computerized pets on them...You had to feed them, clean up after them, pet them and take care of them like a real pet. So naturally they were a huge hit in the States, and very distracting......

TheAbominatrix
09-26-2005, 03:07 PM
Tomgatchi were electronic pets. They still sell them, but they arent as big.

Essentially you'd get an plastic thing with a digital readout in the middle, and it was a game where you raised a pet, fed it, played with it, took care of it.

Shlup had one that was a monkey, and we took care of it until a guy we knew (that I later dated) chewed on it and killed it ;_;

edit: Edea beat me to it xD

Yeah Tomagotchis were banned from our school also. I remember in 2nd year of primary school making up excuses to leave the room. go to the bathroom, deliver a message and so on. Everytime I'd run out side, and feed my tomagotchi who was in my coat pocket which hung in the hall. Oh I was a rebel.

Little cardboard disks that had pictures on them that you stacked and tried to flip over on there backs,(on their fronts if you were less cizilized) using a slammer (a piece about the same size as pogs only plastic).

Bulldogs got banned in my old primary school. Oh how i remember that assembly well.
"Well, it seems that some of the Yr6's are playing a game called 'Bulldogs' Its dangerous and now Banned'
So we called it 'Chickens' and somebody told on us :(

I remember pogs, they never got banned in my primary school, (I don't think), Tamagotchi did, and pokemon cards in hight school, cause some dude stole them from virtually anyone he came into contact with. Needless to say, the day he was caught he limped home. :D

My old judo teacher got us to play bulldog at the end of her lesson, we had to used our groundwork skills to keep someone on their back for 10 seconds or something. I gave someone a black eye during one game.

Bulldog - You start of with one person on and they stand in the middle. The rest of you stand on one side. Basically, you have to get to the other side without getting tagged by the person in the middle. If you do you then join them in the middle. Its evil when your the last one who isnt on and everybody is after you ;_;

BBC - British Bulldog Charge.

Except here in Newfoundland, you didn't have to tag the people to get them to join your side, you had to tackle them to the ground.

It was funny, because the biggest most overgrown kid would always be the last one standing, and he'd be running like mad, with all the smaller kids hanging off him :p

shows ur age? im 16 and i was playin with pogs in elementry skewl, and in middle skewl slap bracelets got banned cuz some 1 supposedly cut their wrist and died, which sounded like a load of bs

also pokemon xD, and in middle skewl, clothes that said stuff on the ass, it was pretty funny hearing my principal say bootylicious over and over and over, o yea and she also kept saying ghettofied :laugh:

Yea, that was banned also. :D

Things like that are attractive. Like in Jr High he thought he was a dinosaur and would run around screaming (he was 6'7" mind you) and eating leaves off trees. He was quite unusual, and I absolutely adored that about him.

He and Shlup had quite an interesting High School battle going on, but I wont get into that here.

As for pogs showing my age, Karl, I mean the huge obsession with them. It lasted a certain amount of years before the fad died off, but it was still around after. I just remember when everyone HAD to have pogs.

I never had many myself. Too poor xD. Same reason I didnt have my own Tamagotchi.

I take it they banned wrestling in your schools too.I mean,everything associated with the sport itself - you name it, WWF logos,slogans etc. was out of there.Gave me a perfect excuse to piledrive the miserable old hag of a principal through her desk.I was 10 years old at the time.

TheAbominatrix
09-26-2005, 07:31 PM
I cant remember it being banned, but I do know there was a fuss. I absolutely hated wrestling though, so I doubt I cared much about it. I remember the pog and slap bracelet bans so well because I was so angry about the 'injustice of it all' and whatnot.

Any sort of entertainment (this is not sarcasm I can't think of anything fun that wasn't banned) but that was probably the kid's fault they always took whatever it was and make it something horrible. Poke'mon and Yu-Gi-Oh! are what I remember the most.

My school was run by a extremist Christian (and one of the first overly PC people you'll ever meet)

-Pogs
-Tazos
-Pokemon (Encoraged inhumane animal fighting)
-Pokemon cards (Turned the aniamls into pure "collectables")
-Yo-Yos (The string could strangle you)
-Skipping Ropes (Same)
-Bulldogs (Unsocialble movement)
-Football [Soccer] (A violent testosterone-led game that alienated girls)
-Most other ball games (What if it HIT YOU?)
-Tig (Same as Bulldog)

That's off the top of the head. And it taught me well, and I learned a lot from these bans.
I am now a Pokemon obessive who runs aroundnhis house "trigging" things with yo-yos tied around my neck. (P.S- I have awesome Pogs collection)

Banned from Briggs Fundamental:
-Trading cards
-Playing cards
-Any and all forms of toys

-Red Rover
-Certain ball games
-Electronic devices

Going to the same school for nine years wasn't fun, I'll tell you that.

Marbles were banned from my primary school all those years ago because the caretaker camplained about the holes on the field (we played the GOOD marbles with holes not with silly little circles). Then in high school Yu-gi-oh cards were banned from being played in the library. I never got into those so it didnt effect me. Theres probably other. Actually theres definatly others, we had everything under the sun banned.

At the high school level, it's anything involving any sort of cards, since it could be deemed "gambling." Our school also has Bess as its opressive web filtering service, so anything on the web that could be deemed remotely related to games is blocked. I could see the argument for something like Planetquake or the likes, since games like that are violent and blah blah school appropriateness, but even EoFF is blocked under the term of games.

Pogs were little cardboard discs that you bought and like fought them or something. I used to collect a bunch of them. I never actually knew how to play it, though. That was a long time ago, probably when I was like six or seven.

To play pogs, you stack them up face down, a mixture of your pogs and your opponent's. Then, you hit the stack with a slammer (a pog made of plastic, metal, or whatever), and whatever pogs land face up, you keep.

[for non-kiwis, that's the equivelant of being banned from saying "eat my shorts". Eww, spelling errors.]

Hmm... I don't remember Pogs, I'm 15, but people younger than me seem to remember them, man I really should start paying attention more.

Pokemon got banned at my 2nd Elementary school, the one I went to before never banned them alltogether, just in the class room. Tamagotchi's were banned from both I believe. Marbles also. Anything that had to do with touching someone else, except tag, for some reason, they never banned that. Oh, and Wallball and of course Dodgeball, Dodgeball I can kinda understand because alot of people threw the ball to hard. ;_; Wallball never really hit anyone though.

Nothing from any one of my schools I went to (Grade-High) ever got banned. I mean, you couldn't bust out a walkman or play a gameboy. That's about it.

Check, check, check, check, and by now I daresay check.

They never got around to banning Chinchirorin, but then I was the only one who ever brought dice in.

I just rememberd this. The security at my college wouldn't let a group of people I know play Magic because they banned the use of regular cards. Now, I don't play card games, but I thought that was stupid.

The 'slaps' game. Where you, basically, slap each others hands for fun. There's some rules to it, but I can't be bothered to explain them.
The best thing about this was that it was actually me who introduced it to the school, after being taught it by my uncle. Of course, I didn't get into trouble or anything, because by the time the teachers found out, it was 14th hand news anyway.
EDIT:


MP3s (not a game but still)

iPods have games on them, though, don't they?

Pokemon cards:- Kids were stealing them off each other and beating one another up for rare, shiny Charizards and Gyradoses and stuff.

Shag bands:- Banned because people were going round snapping them off people they fancied, then harrassing them about it afterwards, saying that they were owed a date/sex, etc. -_-; Sad people...

my middle school banned Yu-Gi-Oh cards because they thought the kids were going to sue the school if we lost some cards. Those dumbasses.

Anyways, in my high school we have no bans against any games because we have no games to play. Oh, wait. No, they did ban one game. It was called "Touch the Boobie!" xD :P

Just about everything was banned from school in the time period of kids born in the 1990's. You guys missed out on the 1980's where we would bring everything to school from skip-it to TMNT to giant robot toys. Now it's all 'wah wah I'm too passive to do anything about it when a kid wants something I own' and 'omg nobody taught me how to gamble I want back what I lose but when I win I don't wanna give it back'.

And yes, I am linking banned games from school with the decline in self esteem and general common sense :D

We aren't allowed to have gambling devices at school, but I'm sure people have cards and dice anyways.

You know, I was never a Pokemon Card fan... but I made so much cash selling the bastards when I was in middle school. In fact, my friend and I had a double-team thing going on. I'd sell the cards, then try to sell them on Pokemon Artwork (which my friend would draw).

And on a slightly shadier side, I also used to sell the occasional cheap knockoff to elementary school kids.

I know, I am teh evilz0r.

But yeah, elementary school? Skip-It used to be the shiznit. Kids would challenge each other to Skip-It the same way you hear people being challenged to Yugioh battles.

Random Child 1: "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A SKIP-IT DUEL!!!!!111one"
Random Child 2: "Your 90 skips is NO MATCH for my 125 skips!"

The cootie catcher things? Those got banned at my gradeschool to. With Pokemon, Digimon cards, gigapets, electronic digivices and practically any other thing that's a distraction during class. Now at my highschool the only thing banned is M rated video games. :mad: which is a real downer I miss mortal Kombat.

Nothing from any one of my schools I went to (Grade-High) ever got banned. I mean, you couldn't bust out a walkman or play a gameboy. That's about it.
Same here.

Although in an earlier post I mentioned BBC, and playing hockey in the classroom, however come to think of it, that didn't get banned either. Although were told to stop many times.

How ridiculous is that, banning cards and toys.

If a kid was playing with $hit like that during class, it was taken from him/her. It was never banned from the entire school.

I'm still hooked on 90's music. The 90's ruled. Hard.

Pokmon. Anything to do with pokemon was not allowed...mainly due to the fact that when i was in 7th grade we used to sell the cards to 4th-6th graders...the school saw that as robbing the little kids. Well all games were banned in school, but pokemon was the most infamous ban.

Dude, Tech Decks. How could you leave those things out. at least in my area, those things were everywhere. the little stations and stuff to change out the wheels and the bushings when you played with em too much? those were the awesome... We actually had a teacher that would take yours, and put them in her desk, and when we were taking tests or what ever, she'd take them out and play with them. it was really funny, cuz after class you could challenge her and stuff. by the end of the year, she had whole skateparks she had confiscated, and a pile of boards and parts that was ridiculous....

Anything on www.newgrounds.com was immediatly banned. I don't blame 'em, there's a lot of stuff the school doesn't want you to see. Oh, and we're not allowed to bring manga rated T+ or higher either.

EDIT: Oh, and we're not allowed to bring key chain games like Tomagachi's. Boy those were fun before we got a dog!
