Need more events events like hxss

An issue I had during the Easter period was particularly with Trivia and something which I've said a few times but doesn't really go through. Several people in single games ask "what does ____ mean", and even if they get an answer, they don't know how to play! There either needs to be stickies on how different rounds such as generating a word work or the decency to offer explanations on how to play these games. It seems to be a game where it's the same winners every time they turn up (sometimes myself included) so I can't say I'm too fond of it.
Really do agree with you, I also see people who still have favourites and it just annoys me.
What I feel the problem is, staff do unique events then everyone else starts doing the same unique event, I saw an increase in pay day not long back as well as trivia races; when I was in the department it was rarely done and usually that was by me.
I tried hosting unique ones yet no one came, I do however, get people asking me to host Simon says, but that unique event can be done easily by anyone, I would love to be the player instead of the host for once :P.
What I truly do find as an issue is the fact that events hosts would much rather make time for their own friends rather than the members, surely they should focus on talking to other people and making them feel welcome?
I started to do dodgeball and dice battles and things like that which I know none of the EOs tend to do so that's a nice little change but I genuinely do think that a lot of the EOs can't be bothered so will book things like Don't Roll a 6 or bingo or whatever as they are easy to host without much interaction. Which lets be honest, Habbox needs to improve on desperately.
Yeah I've previously asked how a certain game (e.g. Stop the bus) is played and have just been ignored by the host, and this has happened on more than one occasion. I haven't been in to any Habbox events since Easter.
Yess stickies and explanations is a must. If someone wants to host a game but can't be bothered to explain how it works, then they clearly shouldn't be in a community role.
Ooo I haven't played pay day for agessss, I used to love that game :D! Not many people seem to host it anymore so that could be a good one to host :).
Oh yes there does need to be more explanation for the sayings in trivia. I am clueless to some parts of trivia, but if none of the other players are willing to explain what a certain term means and the host doesn't either... they're probably going to leave. I know a fair few now but still stuff I see in trivia just amazes me as to what on Earth it is.
@650c; If you're okay with it I'd like to recreate pacman as it evidently was quite popular so if you're okay with that a PM with how to play and what it sort of looked like would be amazing! (Although I think I may already have an idea of how to do it so it's just having consent from you to allow me to do it i.e. I dont want to steal your event.)
I've messaged @Smurfed- about the Trivia stickies and am awaiting a reply from him so hopefully we can implement that (make it a rule for trivia games).
I am continuously trying to invent new events but any ideas from people of things that they'd like to see would be much better than me just making something because then I can get that persons input, and interact with the community a bit more.
I thank you all for your continuing feedback and have read it all. We are trying to make sure that the community is enjoying what we're doing so your feedback is greatly appreciated.
