i have something to say about events

[oli]

why in 5/6 events that habbox hold, there is a dice involved??
sorry some of us arent ******ed n dnt need luck games to win so can u stop it pls.

thanks x

[lemons]

[MKR&*42]

Because variety is not Habbox Events' strong point lol.

How many feedback threads does it take before you actually realise people are genuinely sick and tired of practically every game that involves a ******* dice.

[lawrawrrr]

A lot of hosts (myself included) prefer luck games as there is no wayyou can be accused of rigging. It also provides a fairer chance to those people who maybe don't play Habbo so much, and are usually better attended, in general, in my experience.

There has been a massive range of events during HxSS, including new ones, and almost every single event is complained about. I think the biggest part though is the accusations of rigging and general fairness, which events such as telephrase, ff, the mole.... don't bring.

[lemons]

it's not just during hxss though

[lawrawrrr]

I can't say I've ever noticed a massive amount of dice games normally, I know before HxSS begun there was a massive range and I was actually very impressed.

A lot of people seem to like Bingo, and it was maybe hosted once or twice a day, but that's also because it's a very easy and popular event to host & play..

[MKR&*42]

Yeah I complained loads about it before hxss and nothing changed. Most of the times luck outweighs skill which is wrong as a balance should be achieved,,, id even go as far to say that skill should be higher as I'm sure someone FlyingJesus; Inkwell; i really dont know im guessing) posted a thread askin forum members to name their fav event and really crap luck ones didn't come up.

Yeah, but the events team is about getting new users and forming a new community with fun and fair games. Dice games - not fun. (Unless it's a form of gambling game ;))

[ToyTruck]

calm down

[oli]

whats the point in a game with no skill required

[lawrawrrr]

My dice games without fail always got more people attending, including a lot of new users, so yeaaahhh

yh the people who go to bingo arent loyal users

[lawrawrrr]

During non-hxss times there isn't a great deal of 'loyal' users anyway...

[sex]

i haven't hosted a dice event since i came back because i don't own any dices lol

[wixard]

pacman is really fun

more events like that plz

[Jurv]

dice events are the worst events you can host because there's hardly any hosting involved imo. i prefer to host events that are more varied and actually make you put a little more effort into them but i don't think i can say the same for everyone in the events department, and it's a shame too because i reckon more people would end up turning up to events, especially if it's something original or wired. but yeah it's quite a hard thing to monitor when you're in management because threads have been made about the lack of variety and although i would say it's improved quite a bit there's still some work that needs to be done. i just hope it doesn't get to the stage where you would have to start giving warnings to people who don't vary there events because that would be rather silly

i'm gonna try and work on something different for a weekly event when hxss is over too so keep ur eyes peeled

[Inseriousity.]

Feel free to suggest actual ideas about how to get people hosting more variety without turning into some dictator over what is still a job where you volunteer. I'm sure they'd be willing to listen to ideas.

bingo ftw

[Kardan]

I hate dice events... As I've said many times I'd love events that actually promote skill - but frankly it seems most event organisers don't like to have games that involve a lot of hosting...

[Empired]

I would just like to point out that I would be bloody terrified of hosting any kind of quiz in events. I've hosted SNQ enough times to know that some people can be downright horrible when they get competitive and some will even go as far to argue that black is white just so they can have a point. Although I'm much better at quizzes and things, I'm siding with EOs here as SNQ is never ever a fun thing to host so I know what it's like for them.

[oli]

well im happy you dnt host fridge game all the time, its actually a very rare occasion u do but there are plenty of games u can make, u can play black hole more often, imagine a massive scale black hole how fun!!! u can host snake, thats only hosted on very rare occasions, u can actually host trivia instead of these gk stupid things (yh i know outside of hxss trivia was actually quite common /w bkps hosting it i think)

[lawrawrrr]

i actually hate fridge games or dont roll a 6, so many times you just end up winning because you're sitting at the bottom

it should be everyone rolls in the round

cos otherwise people at the bottom just win

Whilst I agree with you, if some EOs weren't awful hosts at quizzes there wouldn't be any complaints...

Accepting 2 as the correct answer to 'How many colours are on the German Flag' is just asking for trouble... :P

[lawrawrrr]

Apparently asking simple GK questions is a bad quiz

and also asking really hard ones is a bad quiz


it's like, impossible to hold a GK quiz without someone complaining and that's why people don't do it

An easy way around this would be to let everyone have a go each round, so if it's down to the final 2 and the first player is out, the 2nd player must stay in. A bit like a penalty shootout in football.

it's specific knowledge but encourages people to use habbox and when the events are filled with habbox people then its ok

yeah like i just lost in dont get a carrot but the guy who was after me got a carrot in the same round but still won

It doesn't encourage people to use Habbox in the 2 seconds you have before somebody gets the answer. Myself, and many others just go 'Lol, Habbox question. No chance.'

Or you just have Samanfa on copy and paste since I'm pretty sure she's had nearly every single position at some point :P

That's one question though. I don't go kicking off a massive fuss every time someone asks a question about something I have no idea about?

Every SNQ I've been too, there's at least two Habbox questions, usually it's three or four.

and today there is a lack of events

SORT IT OUT HABBOX ITS MEANT TO BE HXSS

[lawrawrrr]

when i was hxhd staff we couldn't do more than 2 questions on the same topic i think. the snq tends to be more habbox-focused anyway, whereas events get more non-habboxers

It's Sunday, the events department is clearly at church. All day.

Why though?

You wouldn't get a question of 'What is the name of my boss' at a pub quiz... I'm not too fussed anyway since I've won every SNQ I've attended... I just wonder why Habbox questions are included... If anything, it excludes outsiders from joining...

[Samantha]

I was thinking about hosting different games, or adapting them more to HxSS. One of them I was thinking of was Simon Says, but instead make it a little different, make it the first to do it gets the point instead of stumbling when you don't say Simon Says.

I did have event ideas which I might put into practice soon, but I've currently forgot what they were.

[Yawn]

i liked odeys ship game with dice. 1 of best events i seen!

grahams wired obstacle course was obviously flaw-free!

[MKR&*42]

Oh for christ can we not have another colour debate.

[Yawn]

but yh where have the events been 2day???

the 1s i have seen have been tragic aint nobody got time for dont pick a carrot. i got into 2 of the 3 games of dont pick a carrot and both times picked a carrot 1st go and went str8 out

ITS ANNOYING

there have also been like no on air comps where am i supposed to get my points from???

I meant it's attended by more Habbox people. If you're winning then stop moaning for the sake of it? Not many outsiders are even at the SNQs, so I really don't see why it's a problem. Even in events it's not a HABBOX quiz, if you go to a HABBOX event you kind of expect there to be an element of HABBOX about it, surely?

[Yawn]

anyway a mix is obviously best. i dont like skil games all the time cos im not skilled i need something to fall back on :Innocent:

[Cassiieee]

More than half the majority of games, is with dices involved. Otherwise there would be very minimum of the same game.

Just because I win doesn't mean I can't give feedback on improving it, as I'm sure you know yourself in the HxSS feedback thread.

And what do you classify as 'outsiders', people that have nothing to do with Habbox? There's many people that use Habbox that still wouldn't know who the 3rd ever Assistant Community Manager was :P

And no, I don't expect there to be an element of Habbox in the quiz, hence my comments :P If I went to the pub quiz, I wouldn't expect to answer two questions on the history of the Red Lion.

I just don't think Habbox questions have any place in a general knowledge quiz. Would you get those questions at a pub quiz, or a game show on TV? Nope. Just like I'd expect a general knowledge quiz not to have 20 A-Level Maths Questions, even if it was held by a Maths department at school :P

I really don't because I rarely win *crycry*

Yeah, people who barely know it - questions like that are FUN as you have to go and look, and its not even a simple google! I love those.

Pub quiz is a bit different to a habbo quiz hosted by a fansite really though. I've been to a GK quiz at Uni and there were specific questions about the Uni, so you know! I think a mix of a lot of topics, including Habbox, is the best option. It gives everyone a chance.

But there's no point in looking, because with the amount of Habbox Staff in there, someone will know :P

And as you said, quizzes in real life are different to Habbo quizzes, since in real life, it's not whoever answers first, it's just a correct answer that is good enough.

when eos hosted skill games, eos got abuse and accused of rigging and as a result they are now doing luck games
doesnt surprise me tbh lol why do you think there arent as many events booked now
they didnt suddenly all go on holiday
they got fed up of the complaints and abuse

Why can't EOs stand up for themselves? If people get accused of rigging, they'll report it to management if they're serious enough. The majority of people only say things are rigged because they lost.

because most the time standing up for themselves leads to rudeness
and so when they're rude and reported
it prob doesnt matter why they was rude lol their 'attitude isnt acceptable for a staff member' thing

[FlyingJesus]

Luck games are ok if it involves some element of interest like when you have to go into a certain coloured area for the wheel or the big version of higher or lower or something idk but ones that aren't interactive or at all even implied to be about some sort of choice (bingo, don't get a carrot, etc) you might as well just line people up and use a random number generator to find a winner because it would be just as fun

As for quizzes can we just have a blanket rule across Habbox that black/white/grey/pink/Jay-Z blue are allowed as colours? If you start saying NO R SHADE LOL then you might as well not even play because every single colour we can see is a shade

[myles]

well if they are abusing you in talking events then thats their fault they have been muted so they therefore cannot no longer participate in the game.
well i guess kicking sometimes works as it can get annoying however you get them annoying peeps who keep coming back
as for banning i think it should be unbanned because that is possibly the only acceptable form of punishment that works?????????

so do i and someone sort of told me it was fine to do it but yknow, i did and got warned so what do you expect with mixed messages :rolleyes:

the most annoying thing thats happened for me is being reported whilst trying to host telephrase and having to do the quiz 5x in the space of half an hour, you just CANNOT host then. it's a wonder so many people stay as events hosts rly

[Samantha]

I usually host more skill than luck games yet I'm still yet to have abuse from them? I think you don't know unless you try, but I just hosted trivia and there were hardly any proper Habbox people in there, so maybe that's why you don't get the abuse. If you get the abuse I understand why you wouldn't want to host again, but taking risks help. I remember hosting Guess The Value and although it wasn't the best event it was a nice, different idea. I've waffled on, what I'm saying is variety is good, I've never got abuse yet, but if you get abuse I see why you won't host it again.

[oli]

stop being such a child hosting events is easy and if u get offended by someone on the internet punch ur computer screen right now pls

[ihatehash]

I haven't been accused of rigging yet. There have been a few games I have hosted which I noticed the team aspect was affecting how the game was played and therefore made/changed the rules to deal with it.
I have found the games that I like and think suit hxss and none of them have dices. When people whine and complain I address it once and then ignore it, maybe that isnt the best way but it's how I can deal with it without having other peoples issues effect my hosting and others playing experience.
I hope people have enjoyed my events so far in hxss and I'm sure there is still things that I can fix or do differently.

Trivia
Quiz
Dice Battles
Dice Dominoes
Dodgeball (f you moved like a flower to show where the middle was)
Name 3
Name The Artist
Unscramble
Addition

ETC can all be hosted in hxhd.
@Kardan (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=3428); Inb4 each player has 2 dice and you can't roll higher than a 10

There are only stump chairs and dices in the hxhd which clearly excludes stuff like unscramble/name 3/name the artist etc

FF is FAR TOO DIFFICULT BECAUSE PEOPLE ACCUSE YOU OF HOSTING

and pod races/dhmw only lets a few people in

we started really well in terms of events but now we seem to be slacking for some reason, not entirely sure why either :S

[FlyingJesus]

From what I can tell it's gone downhill since I stopped playing, soz my bad xoxo

[lawrawrrr]

people tend to lose interest in hxss i think and attendance goes downhill, aus people go back to school, some american people are back at school, people are fed up with abuse and quit/dont host as much, hosts have hit minimums and thats all they're interested in....

all explanations

[oli]

yh ppl have gone back to school.

losers

[FlyingJesus]

Hosts not hosting so often because they want to play and win points themselves xoxoxox Graham hosted 3 games in the past week while some others doing more than that each day. He's not the only one just an example but yeah doesn't help when hosts don't host

You missed out mike resigned so they're having a day of mourning... or a huge party. :P
HxSS is normally where events organisers host but other staff plug the gaps, often decided at the last minute just to keep the momentum going. Then again, towards the end, people are often oversaturated with events and thankful for the breather from the organised chaos.

[AgnesIO]

if you think you can do better then events applications are open!

I'm sure I could write far better news articles than half of the news reporters that Habbox has hired over the past five years, it doesn't mean I want to.


the thing is, would you rather have an empty timetable, or for hxhd staff to fill in the gaps (when they can literally only host dice games or quizzes?)

I'd rather event organisers did what they applied to do in the first place!

YOU JOKE but i actually think that affected it a bit

yeah i totally agree

they are doing what they applied to do - hosting events!

[Empired]

Whilst I agree with you, if some EOs weren't awful hosts at quizzes there wouldn't be any complaints...

Accepting 2 as the correct answer to 'How many colours are on the German Flag' is just asking for trouble... :P
You have a point. I do sometimes wonder if certain hosts just left their brain on their pillows in the morning. But I notice some people taking part in quizzes during HxSS will lie through their teeth about the answer and then be really aggressive when the host spots it. That's just HxSS though I guess...

[Plebings]

can i host yet?? Smurfed-;

[xxMATTGxx]

can i host yet?? Smurfed-;

Looking by your user title, yes you can host if you can see the events forum.

Yep, it's all good to go!

so what, that is more than the min!!! there is no rule about event hosts playing lol........... all staff are allowed host them and everyone was complaining about how events staff had booked so much slots, now when it comes down to it they are booking none :)

im sure if i was blue this wouldn't be a problem

and ive hosted 4 x

[FlyingJesus]

I'm not having a go I'm just saying that hosts not hosting when they're clearly very available doesn't help matters. It has nothing to do with what team you're on, it has to do with the fact that you're a host, but if you want to bring teams into this then consider the fact that it's mostly reds doing the complaining about lack of events when that's the team with all the supposed event organisers.

Again, wasn't just talking about you dear

and once again, it's a community wide event where any member of staff can host. People where complaining that events booked to many (more than usual) now there are free spaces they aren't taking then lol..

[FlyingJesus]

Note the use of the word "hosts" rather than EOs, only mentioned them as a department in that last post because it was their folk doing most of the complaining, but yeah obv all staff ought to be chipping in or at least all community staff
