Fansite faceoff, u wot?

More to the point, 11am on a wednesday sucks.

I'll bring the beers.

[Absently]

I was discussing this in the help desk last night and spoke about making a thread once I've a banner sorted :)

Although, don't imagine many can attend from habbox knowing many of us have uni/school/work etc.

[Cerys]

I could attend but the question is will I...

To say it's only a week away it's been kept pretty quiet!!

Honestly, it's all been very last minute I would consider. The meeting wasn't very long ago and then we only found out when we would be quite recently too, with changes even more recently. The room was still being completely finished last night too. Most fansites don't seem too pleased either about it

[Katy]

Hffm were all talking about it in their event this morning that's how I found out haha

I wonder why they're so eager to put it in place so soon? Surely it couldn't hurt to leave it another few weeks to make sure everyone knows about it and everything's prepared

[Kasabian]

Well, some people are prepared

lol cos Habbo do what they want and think fansites should bend over backwards to accommodate them. :P

We need 4 weeks to book the day off work, then there is coming up with team outfits, chants and slogans. Not forgetting that we need to recreate the room and practice before the big day. Also, the meetings in which we will discuss our game plan and build good team relationships.

I'll happily make a thread too, like I was going to :P

o that wasn't a dig, it was more of a shocked reply as they've got a full guide/tutorial already haha

They tend to be really good for guides!! We did have one rep from each fansite make it (ours was good old Plebings;), so I'm going to assume that's how they have their guide ready as IIRC although it was supposed to happen at 11am today, it's been changed to 7pm. Although, I've honestly no clue why

[Matt]

Finally something I might be able to go to!

If I went to it knowing only one team will get a badge I wouldn't be picking the habbox team soz

Wow rude

[Kasabian]

Participated in the event yesterday(HFFM v Habboshire), was a nightmare in all truth. Room was laggy, people spam clicking, those not participating spamming the screen with words(like telling people to lose/die etc), then the host moved the scores forward to "speed the game up".

[lawrawrrr]

I wasn't able to do anything in the event yesterday as I was so laggy but after talking to other fansites & seeing people's comments it really seems like so many elements were rushed. The original thing was my idea (kitch's quote in my sig was that hahahha) but it just hasn't fully been thought through. I think the biggest thing is the sheer size of the room and the furniture in it, it's so laggy for so many people and those one way gate things are so hard to do at the best of times!!


Hopefully they'll manage to come up with some alternatives or solutions for the next one :(

Well, that was a joke.

Habbox vs HabboQuests - HabboQuests Founder the one hosting the entire event?

Forum Notice would've been nice seeing as the thread got lost and I could count on 1 hand the amount of Habboxers that were there

No General Management from Habbox were present to see who was there supporting Habbox. Wouldn't have been a problem if 1 Week of VIP and 150 tokens had not been promised to all Habbox supporters. Looks like everyone will come running to claim their prizes now :rolleyes:

Pretty poor event from all parties if you ask me, Habbo included.

[Absently]

Honestly, I genuinely completely forgot about this entire event until right now. So all the blame can go entirely on me. I know it's not excusable whatsoever, just something quite serious happened yesterday which resulted in it slipping my mind.

Also, I meant about supporting Habbox for users to PM me, my bad if I didn't specify that in my original post

From my point of view, I would have loved to be there supporting Habbox, doing a radio comp or something but when it's hosted at 11am (idk why other fansites were allowed evening slots but we couldn't change them) I can't go off work so it's unfortunate but unavoidable.

I would've been there if I remembered.

Tbh I feel this was a poorly organised event and all parties are at fault. If it was organised properly then I think it could've been quite good. Ah well

Honestly it was. It was quite rushed and all pretty much organised by one person (who let all his friends supporting HQ in the event before it opened this time so people couldn't get in ANYWAY).

I just hate the fact so many are held during the day when the majority of Habbo's audience work or go to school. It's backwards.

I'd of loved to have attended, shame it was at 11am and I'm in full time education.

[Plebings]

sorry i wasn't able to attend today, but as said the 11am start really put us at a disadvantage. i was hoping most of the problems from the first round were ironed out but seems like it may have been just as bad if not worse.

mixture of lack of communication, conflict of interest and being pushed for time meant it wasn't the best end product, and sadly the decisions that were made ended up being decided by who could shout loudest. don't want to pass blame though and will admit there are things i should have pushed for harder, and some things i shouldn't have compromised on.

i'd love to say i'll try and ensure next round is the best one yet but i won't be around until the day before the next round. i do believe fansites can work together and would be up for another project like this, just hope we can all learn from it.

[Joe]

Wait, you mean to say the management team of Habbox have lives outside of Habbo?! What a silly thought, I mean how crazy is that...

Really? The majority of them seem to be looking to score points. Badge was too busy declaring how big his e-peen was in terms of HabboQuests. "everyones queueing up for habboquests" blah blah etc. Guys a joke.

Hahahhaa, so true, I worked with him for a while and he's just like Vado - two egotistical nonces fighting over quest guides. That sounds like like a rom-com,
