It's only a card game,not " gambling " you smurfing retards !!!
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...).
I'm right there with ya Abominatrix...Some kid at my middle school got wapped in the face with one of the pog flippers(? the big heavy ones... cannot remember the names) so they banned them at my school too... along w/ slap bracelets...... I remember when Pokemon cards got banned from my sisters elementary school.....
Spin and punch got banned from my school.
Slammers, werent they? Cant believe I remembered that xD.Quote:

Beyblades were banned from my primary school in case someone managed to spin one in there eye.
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.
How much you wanna bet that someone asks us what pogs are?..... :DQuote:

Clever bastards....
the little electronic pocket pets. I can't remember what they were called. Tomigotchi?
Nothing.
My school wasn't staffed by anti-fun Nazis like most of yours seem to have been.
xD Seriously. It wouldnt surprise me in the least.Quote:

There was this fool at my school who decided he would try and make money by colouring in coins and selling them for less than they were worth.What an idiot.
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.
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'.
You know what's bugging me?
I have a complete collection of Pog Series 1 except for ONE single pog, but I can never remember which one it is I'm missing.
How annoying.
Yugioh got banned at my old Primary school. Not that anyone had official cards.
My HS banned tomagatchi's too...
I completely forgot about those......
Just about anything that was fun was banned at my school... but, nothing's banned in my high school? :D
LOLZ!? WOT R POGS!?Quote:

Whats a tomagatchi?
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......
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
I thought it was Tamagotchi! O_oQuote:

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.
British bulldog got banned after some kid cracked his skull
The stone throwing game was also banned
ahh.....BBCQuote:

Which reminds me, There was this long one story open building where kids sat in while it was raining. We used to divide into two themes and chuck stones over..well yeah you see where this is going.
Oh. Ive never heard of Tamagothchis, or virtual pet things.
rofl, im only 12 xD
My school was actually pretty cool I guess about stuff (or we just never listend) I can't think of too many things hat got banned maybe yo yos but that was about it.

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
Whats Bulldog? :oQuote:

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 ;_;
Beyblades but I still bring em in to show how stupid teachers are.

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
Thats what Rugby basically isQuote:

Any TCG is banned.

Bring back pogs! Heck, bring back any of them.
Maybe it's just me, but once you see a guy chewing on an electronic toy, that might be an early sign that he's not gonna be a catch. =PQuote:

I'm pretty sure Red Rover was something else? :D Wasn't that the game where you formed 2 teams, and you linked arms? And you shouted a sad rhyme, and the person who's name you called had to run over and try to break through your linked arms?Quote:

pokemon cards....but people still brought them in....
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.Quote:

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.
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.
Yo-yo's, Pokemon cards, this game called Red Rover Those balls on strings filled with that glittery liquid (nobody dare!) and anything fun really :p
In America, this thread has the word Pokemon written ALL OVER IT. ^_^
Scooby Doo on the Bayou
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.
Tis so. Beyblades, pokemon, yugi-oh, anything you can have fun with.Quote:
Dude pogs are f'n gansta.
Holy water is also not allowed because it's a weapon. XDDDDDDDD
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)
well, when i went to Varsity High, BeyBlades was skankishly everywhere *shudders*
then i got a metal one off some and shot it at anothers leg :p (im an idiot when im bored), that got beyblades ban.
oooh, i also got an internal suspension for a month :\
I remember pogs being banned in my elementary schools...and I think Pokemon cards got banned from the second middle school I went to, but that was after I left maybe...I don't recall.
Man, I remember people who had full pog cases that were like three feet long. Lawl So Cal fads.
Banned from Briggs Fundamental:
-Trading cards
-Playing cards
-Any and all forms of toys
-Football
-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.
Pogs got banned eventually, and I think conker fights may have almost been banned or something. Yo-yo's and Pokemon cards lived long though (my my, weren't we privileged?)
Snap (srsly)
What's that? Sound's ghetto.Quote:

Red rover.
I never got called over, anyway.
I don't remember anything that got banned. =/ Except for Pokemon cards but whatever, I didn't care.
And I have no idea what the hell pogs are. They seem to be/have been popular though.
Wtf??Quote:

I still don't know how you play them, and I don't even know if they sell them here.
Go Go Power Rangers!
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.
Pogs and marbles, which was necessary since I went to elementary school in Huntington Beach, Los Angeles, where 4th graders were walking around with knives and guns ready to kill each other over losing a game for fingerhole slammers, or a 20-timer.
Pokemon cards. :(
Oh, you!Quote:

Actually, one school in Auckland forbids children from saying "Not even ow!" from Brotown. ;_;.
[for non-kiwis, that's the equivelant of being banned from saying "eat my shorts". Eww, spelling errors.]
Wow, that's pathetic.Quote:

After pogs were out, marbles were in. We had to play behind the shed though.
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.
On a side note: I remember pogs.
Pogs, Conkers, Yoyos, Tamigotchis, Pokemon cards.
Anything the kids actualy enjoyed in any way.
Check, check, check, check, and by now I daresay check.Quote:

Quake 3: Arena got taken off the network at college. :( that was a sad day.
Yo-yos
Pokimon cards (sp)
Bayblades
Game boys
MP3s (not a game but still)
Mobile phones (There are games on mobile phones)
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.
Bulldog got banned after in one week or group suffered from one broken hand, two broke fingers, a broken collarbone and a case of amnesia. Also yo-yos after everyone was doing around the world and loads of people got brained iwth them.And wht the smurf is a pog?
What's Chinchirorin?
If its fun, interesting or runs on batteries it will usually be banned by most schools............
Our school has a YoYo phase...BANNED.
Conkers...(they where sad anyway)....BANNED
We had tamagotchis (i had a nano baby)....BANNED. :(
YuGiOh...(crap anyway..)...BANNED.
BeyBlade....(haven't tried that yet...)....BANNED.
POGS......(that was when i has just started primary school, but still)....BANNED
Mobiles.......(COME ON!!!!!!!)...........BANNED :(
Laptops...(I kinda understand that though...)...BANNED
POkemon cards...(THANK YOU!!!!!)......BANNED
Scoubi Dous......(just after I left....good.)...BANNED
Breathing.......(not yet)......YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!!!!!.................... :eek: .................... BANNED.......crap..
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:
iPods have games on them, though, don't they?Quote:

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
They banned card games at my hs as well , since the popular game of the time was Bull Sh*t.....and of course pagers were the thing and they were banned... nobody had cell phones at the time like they do now....
THe only thing i know of htats banned is beyblades in my school. They lets us play cards, though the only one time we ever play cards is in science.
Oh yeah! They banned tag as well.
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
Everybody knows the 90's sucked ass anyway.
I remember when i was in 5th grade those little paper fortune tellers you could make got banned.
Not True....Quote:

I can't recall any games that were banned when I was in school.
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!"
O.o
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.Quote:

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.

all things to do with cards after me and 3 mates had a masive poker game with no less then 2 teachers in year 7 i think
i got 2 weeks (inforsed holaday) for that
and later full out suspenchen for takeing in my tarot cards and giveing readings in the hall that was the end of any schools that had "religen" in them hehehe
p.s poker game i won £20 hell yes
fun
Do you think they'd ever ban chess ? I'm going to find out.
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....
Digimons. :( I snuck it in and battled anyways! ^_^
:eek: :eek: :eek: Naughty Resha! :mad2:
I used to bring my tarot cards in and give readings, nothing ever happened to me, except a few teachers wanting a reading.Quote:
