I think sometimes when we see these types of threads, I get the sense that there was some jealousy at one point during a game when someone shouted as to what they received as prize. I am not pointing fingers, but I know that greed is something that will tear friendships apart. We, as the habbox community should be helping each other out. Large or small. I really don't see that much anymore, which is sad and discouraging.

A maximum wouldn't be a bad thing though. As most said, it would encourage more games.

I'd completely disagree

If I joined and worth say 10,000 creds and we have another EO who's worth maybe 100 (most of which they spend on room and give crap prizes). I sure as hell wouldn't be up for helping them out with giving prizes.

It's each EO's responsibility to have the required items/coins to give out, not the others to help them. If they can't afford it, resign.

I think imposing a maximum limit on event prizes is a bad idea anyway. The furni that belong to an EO belong to them, and they should be allowed to do what they like with them. Plus, at the end of the day, your events are going to be more popular if you're giving out a 10c prize each time, rather than a 1c prize.

This thread has gone in the wrong direction, I think the suggestion was to put the furni towards bigger projects and tournament prizes to make them more desirable to win; which I agree with.

Regarding prize limits, I don't agree with the upper limit because if an event organiser is hired and his "Habbo Worth" is 50T then he could afford to give out 20c sacks or even gold bars as prizes. Why should he not be allowed to do this? As long as the host is able to manage their own items then there is no problem. If the host is struggling or spending real money on credits then leave the role.

But that means you'll essentially be forcing the rich EOs to contribute their own furniture to things they might not want to contribute to.

it's down to general management to fund large scale tournaments, it's nothing to do with the events department

Why would they not be willing to contribute to a larger prize that would bring more people to habbox and in turn to their events?

250c for a 2 week event in the current market is frankly absolutely terrible, especially considering how many hours one would need to dedicate in order to achieve it.

Why would one EO have to give their furniture for a prize fund for a whole competition when other EOs won't have to just because they're poor? Management provide the prizes.

Not saying they should have to, just that they might well want to if they see that the current prize isn't at all desirable.

I think 250c is plenty enough for a 2 week tournament.

If you win the tournament you obviously won several events which also you gained prizes from whether you chose furni/rep/tokens whatever, you still received that +250c for winning.

As for all the previous posts, the minimum is still 2c, either 2 bronze coins or furni equivalent of 2c, there's no maximum limit. I don't think there should be a limit either, as long as EO's meet the minimum prize requirement, there should be no complaints over what you receive.

As for poor/rich EO's, they know what they're letting themselves in for when they join the dept. They know its currently up to them to fund the prizes, but I try and have as many in dept competitions as I can physically think of to help EO's regain some of what they've given away etc. IE. a 50c prize for the EO who hosted the most events during HxEE, Beat the Peak, and hopefully soon a new tailor made reward/target system suited to each EO.

The majority of the EO's help each other out wherever they can. If its lending furni or whatever they do help out a lot. That's up to them if they want to or not, there's nothing stopping or making them do it.

As for the richer EO's cutting back their everyday prizes and supporting a bigger tournament, I disagree with also. Its their personal choice what they do with their furniture and how they give it away.
