I strongly agree that this should be the case too, managers of course should get involved and help out. Of course there are a lot of duties on top of that though. Quite often these exciting new games require a lot of furniture, a lot of wired and stuff, and I know I for one struggle enough for prizes sometimes let alone the funds for building fancy new rooms suited for these specialised events. :P

They may be basic, but people do like them, and theyre very often really full if the advertising is done right, a room promo is put up and people inviting etc. I know a few people who simply go looking for bingo's etc, and I guess there has to be a balance. If the people are turning up then I see no problem personally, 30+ is a decent number.

If I was allowed to host in other peoples rooms then I would happily host all kinds of weird and wonderful events, and I think for that reason we should have set rooms in which anyone can host etc rather than sticking to our own rooms all the time perhaps.

Its certainly an interesting debate and has raised lots of questions about the general set up of the department really and perhaps its something general management can work with us to change!

HabboxLive managers I believe go on a fair bit, usually when I tune in early in the day @Grig; is on at least interacting with everyone listening. I'm not too sure which managers don't do minimums at the moment.

Yeah they're basic, but you tell us to vary your events when yours are a bit repetitive?

And frankly it could be called Guest Manager, I don't see anything wrong with that. Guest Competitions Manager for example is fine.

And fair enough, but I doubt you creating an events room would increase the amount of EOs giving out rares :)

Because implementing a rule change then the real manager coming back and having to undo a lot of stuff would be effort, time that could be better spent doing something else. I just think the way things are suggested could be improved a lot, I don't like it being called guest manager as managers have a more serious job to do, not something that can be taken on temporarily!

Oh no, I never said that, you just asked why they'd hire people who don't have great rooms ;)

its not like any of the events hosted atm though. its completely different i have no idea how it would be fitted in with the current events routine. the current hour slots aren't rly apporpriate. it went on for so many hours and the demand was still there even when we were completely fed up hosting. tbh every1 should just come play and see wat its like for themselves because its incredibly addictive and u will understand once u have experienced it fully. writing about it doesnt rly do it justice or get u to understand well enough.

wat we did is harmless tho and the only actual issue we had was with the other smaller flop event that flopped even more because it was overshadowed. obviously u would want to promote the larger event to the best of ur ability but martin cant just go trampling on other ppls events and feelings. so idk wat u guys can do, like i said u need to find out for urselves.

Can you give me an example of a rule change that would take a long time to put back, because I can't think of one :P

Not necessarily a long time to put back, but say someone was to become manager, they would have the authority to do anything they wanted really - quite a risk - and if they were to make 20 changes that didn't work, the real manager would have to go around posting the rules back to normal, changing them in handbooks, informing the community, the staff - that's all time they could be concocting a good idea or hosting an event or something!

Perhaps not so much current management, but its certainly been noticed and brought up in the past.

I'll host what I enjoy really, if it gets people there then it's obviously not too bad. Theyre so spaced out that it doesn't really seem repetitive, its not like the same event is being hosted twice in a week etc, so I think thats a bit of an over exaggeration. I don't personally go round telling people to vary them, its the general consensus that we want people not hosting the same thing over and over the same week.

I didn't mean to hurt anyones feelings and I'm truly sorry if I did, you know I love your event, I was one of the first people to see it and I think its a brilliant concept and extremely fun, and would love nothing more than for the Habbox name to be recognised with it. I'm sorry :(

So you're telling me that people are incapable of copy and pasting the old rules/handbooks etc. so they can't be replaced in a weeks time?

And it's not really difficult to inform your staff, create a sticky in the relevant staff forum, and sent out a PM notifying them of the change.

But I'm sure the time would be better spent hosting a game of bingo for 4 people(!) :P

but that's all a bit of a moot point really, anything extra does waste time, it might not be HARD but it does waste time

i just think the way management take ideas should be improved and if you suggest a managment thing they dont just shoot you down and it's done in a more official manner where you can SEE it's been considered by any seniors, management, AGMs and/or other staff members.

btw, i think a good idea is a suggest ideas thread!!!

i was talking about the other flop event owners feelings not my own lol

i.e. u cant keep hosting 1 bigger event over other ppls events. or prioritise and favour 1 event or EO.

But the wasted time is moot when it is literally 10 seconds of time.

And we have suggest ideas thread all the time in the feedback forum :P
