Didn't you host in subos room last night and it was official?

I dont see why it would have to be in your room for it to be official if we're allowing other rooms to be treated like habbox rooms?

So they should be sacked.

I will give you the point that the competitions department is slightly different than the events department here, but you should still be allowed to host competitions, heck, you could even say in the post it's non official.

And it's all fine to have good events for 3 weeks of the whole year, but that's just not good enough. It's not difficult to host events other than fridge and dice luck, just the staff can't be bothered the majority of the time, and you have to ask yourselves why.

Well I was using it as an example for the events, if you remember, so the event would be hosted like a Habbox event... which most events are......... this thread isn't for complaining about comps and I have no problem with it whatsoever as it is easy to show it's not official etc etc etc, it was all hypothetical.

It's more than 3 weeks of the year, but it's almost impossible to have EVERY SLOT a really fun and exciting event. As for why, I have no idea, they don't get people turn up to boring games so why they don't try and change it up a bit I have no idea. Like, if you host a luck game and you have 2 people turn up you'll probably end up giving away more prizes.... I guess it is a bit of laziness! If I was events management I'd probably create a list of simple and complex events and your quota has to be at least 1 simple and 1 more complex event - something like that.

Alex said i was allowed last night, but if i wanted to host it again it would have to be in my own room cause she isn't staff

What about habboxlive management who never go on air or don't have any minimums in regards of being on air? What about news management not posting articles, what about content management not updating half the site etc?

In regards to this thread I do think changes need to be made, and everyone needs to be on the same wavelength about things. I'm pretty sure graham hosted in there last night and it was all official and booked etc, so I don't understand why he's now not allowed to do this etc.

Whether we allow multiple slots needs to be looked at, because there seems to be a lot of confusion at the moment.

From my point though, if there were empty slots thisafternoon and events staff were able to host and were hosting, then I don't know why they weren't allowed to book them as official events and have them on the calendar/panel etc and to count towards their minimums.

but you're hosting though, she isn't?

Surely that's the same principle? if its not on habbox.com etc then it's not really being advertised by Habbox, its not filling our calendar up etc even though there is an event with habbox on the client. People will crossmatch the two and wonder whats going on :P

It's ridiculous to say events staff can't host in other rooms that's the whole point of saying 'Seach ______ to play....'

not all hosts can afford fabby rooms and I'd quite happily set up a nicer looking one so people would be more interested in staying in the event and give rights to all events hosts

How can you host an event that isn't hosted in the same way as a Habbox event? There's not many ways to open/introduce a game etc.

Ok, HxSS is what? 4 weeks max? And yes, it's impossible to have every slot a fun event, but it's clear to everyone that these so called 'boring' events dominate the calendar. If I were events manager, I'd ban these simple games completely.

Maybe that's what Habbox needs, Guest Managers. Someone to come in for a week to each department and be an acting manager, probably best scheduled if a manager needs a week off or something. The guest manager can do all sorts of rule changes that are only effective for the one week, they can't fire staff or anything, and after the week is up, the departmental staff give their feedback on the positive aspects to try and introduce some changes. Should probably also note that the guest manager won't have any chance of replacing a manager, it's just to try and get a fresh new look at things.

Whilst I agree with your point, why do we hire hosts that can't afford decent rooms?

As for the management point, I do believe management should stick to the quotas they provide. How do they expect their staff to work if managers cannot manage the workload themselves.

Guest managers sound like general management to me :P They review everything we do, they write managers feedback reports etc. We recently received a report with like 14 or so paragraphs in detailing everything that needed improving etc. Normally when a manager is away the AGM will step in etc and oversee things, and that in itself would be a fresh look in a way.

A bit flawed as I know HabboxLive management go on air, most of the time news was posted by managers, even @Inseriousity.; regardless whether he was our AGM or not told us to post news, but if we didn't we weren't allowed to take the piss and most of the time we met and exceeded the minimum of the department. It's just lacked recently, content I know Skynus does do work as well.

However, I agree, I always think that management should do the work too, it shouldn't just stop due to the status. I admit I think it can be bent a bit for them, but like I said don't take the piss.

Also, I don't mean it in a bad way, but you say vary our events, when yours aren't the most exciting or different are they?

IDK i wasn't the one who said it!!! it wasn't until today again after this thread etc that it was said i could host it and have it count towards my hours. the reason i liked hosting it no official was because it gets exhausting and i took like 40min break during hosting it, which was deserve because we hosted for 4 hours lol... if it was offical event id have to stop after one hour etc an would have to worry about how many games to fit into the hour etc when its impossible to tell because of how the game works. its better to just host it and see how it goes then end it when youre bored/ it starts to empty
