8 people left... after 4 hours...........
Give us all a VIP prize. 4 hours is just sad to keep kids on a computer for. Sure, you have limit of VIPs you can give out, but this is a special occasion. This is for the first, and most likely last sleepover.
Everyone wants the VIP and not the HCs.
That defeats the point of the competition lol.
It's going to go on forever and it's kind of sad having a competition like this that requires you to stay in a room doing nothing.Quote:

I'm only in it because it was at the middle of the night so I thought why the hell not...Quote:

I agree. Sleepover was a good idea for an event if there were things to entertain them in between. not entirely sure cos its short notice but random things that get done at sleepovers (even if you have to slip into embarrassing cliches) could have been adapted into an event to eliminate people and make it into a proper event rather than the 'keep-hxhd-busy' event it is :(
It's good to see HxHD thinking outside the box anyway, keep it up :)
o it's not that bad. just keep it how it is.
I agree, some events should have been organised. It wasn't planned that good I admit but if we do have another one i'm sure David and Shar will plan it much better than this one. I haven't been watching it due to being busy but when i've been on Habbo the room has been popular all night.
And saying 'making kids stay on the computer all day' it isn't our fault, you decided to enter it so you can leave at any time and giving VIP to everyone would defeat the point of the competition as some others said.
**** I FORGOT TO ATTEND I WAS AT THE MOVIES CAN I STILL COME
Nope :) bit lateQuote:

which is my opinion is partially cheating, people who are actually active for all (/most) of the time are the deserving winners.
if you're gonna do it again then you should do random spot checks every half hour and if no one replies within 10 seconds then they should be kicked :)
You can easily download an auto clicker

Silly idea, it's like an e-sleepover which is just so sad. I mean, I pity those who stayed up all this time.
You need events, and I had a big hunch that this would fail. Ah well, better luck next time!
Well--not to prove your hunch wrong but it most certainly did not fail. The room was busy all day :PQuote:

I assume so - HxHD has had a surplus of visitors throughout the summer, athough the fact that we maintained such a high visitor count throughout the entire day suggests that there is an external reason and the sleepover was the most likely the cause.Quote:

all i saw was people keep talking about rape and management doing nothing so i left as it was gross
This sounds a little rude I apologise but I think the prize should be upped a little. They've been in there for 9 hours now. 10 HCs, 1 month VIP and 50 rep points is quite generous but I don't think it'd do any harm in increasing the prize or rewarding the runners up too, 9 hours is a hell of an achievement and with 6 people left there's potential for it to go on much longer. Perhaps a badge too, e.g. "I stayed at the Habbox sleepover for over 12 hours".
I must admit I never expected it to go on for 9 hours. I agree with you. I'm donating the 10 HCs - I'll see what else I can throw in, and see if any of our staff would like to contribute towards the prize :)Quote:

The following prize structure is now in place:
1st place: 15 HCs, forum VIP and 50 reputation points
2nd place: 10 HCs
3rd place: 5 HCs (if nobody is able to donate these last 5 I think I can spare five more)
im in the final 3, and its still going.
Good luck too all of you guys and well done for lasting this long :)
My sleep and health is more important... still three people in there. What was intended to be a fun activity has turned out to be a grueling battle against who can stay awake longest... :PQuote:

personally i think there should be a compromise for the prize's and hand out 3 VIP's without any extra's.
They should have just spammed the forum for 12 hours instead, get 50 hcs. Is it still going on?
dropedd my laptop... and logged out fml. came third though.
if only habbo went on maintainence...
Lol ;D

it's over now, if you had read the thread, and it could have been watched in the Habbox Help Desk owned by xxMATTGxx on Habbo. You can visit the Help Desk any time.Quote:
