ftao; events hosts

True too.
@Mathew; Has the management ever thought about revamping the way we give prizes?

For example, having a "point system" for the PLAYERS. Say that every time a player wins a game, they win one point. They can collect throughout the year and maybe have a system that allows players to redeem these points for goodies (ie. 80 points=habboxforum vip; 50 points = events staff for a day; 30 points=1 habbox lottery ticket; 20 points=option to pick a SNQ question; etc?)

Should just update the staff handbook and make sure EOs are aware of it and then pick from it.

I like this idea because I get a bit bored with just a choice of rep or furni... I don't collect furni and I'm not really fussed about rep. So as much as I sometimes enjoy playing events, if I win there's nothing really in it for me. Although not sure if it's just me who doesn't collect furni or care about rep power.

i always made sure i hosted different events, i got bored hosting unlucky chair tbh but people wanted a bit of a difference so i didnt mind :/ i had a few other event ideas that don't require too much furni so if any events hosts would like to steal those ideas (i also have a big weekly idea) then please PM/VM me and i'll let you know!

I was going to host these events but i quit instead (a) don't see myself returning in the forseeable future so I really don't mind!

Not as a Weekly Event (just came up when I was thinking about them lol) but with different hosts each week but from the public's point it would mean that if they want something different, they can have it!

Not entirely original every time of course, that's just too difficult to ask.

Weekly Events still very much exist and I've been in the process of sorting them out since Monday. We have a few EOs willing to take the plunge, and I'm hoping a few other departments are willing to dedicate some time on the client. HxHD has the SNQ, so I think it would be nice if site-based departments (like Graphics and Content) came out of their shell and introduced themselves to the client. We're working on it!

Focusing a couple of hours each week on a "lesser-known event" is exactly the intention of Weekly Events and it's worked well for us so far (especially considering the fact that an award is given out... and sometimes VIP).

Good idea but as the majority of users don't use habbox then not really a worthwhile system to implement.

Might seem like most do lately as it's been the tournament, but after that it's mostly randoms :P

Do we still have Jungle Run every Friday since Nadia well... Got outed? @Habbic; I don't think that's true... I always see Habbox people at events so I don't know where you got that idea from tbh.

come back i'm here now ;)

a tick box multi choice poll rather than a choosing just one event poll would work.

good point there.

What kind of motivation can we give non-habbox players to come back and play other games hosted by Habbox? hmm.
