Overiding Xs Cannot Play In Events! // Also no weddings Tonight

[Joord]

I wasn't abusing it. If you ask Joord for example, I was there with everyone else and qued up from the very start like 2 hours before so that I didn't use the overide feature. And when lost moved rooms I didn't go to the next room, instead I wen't to the WL

Also, when you enter a room, you don't think to yourself... OK I am going to overide it, you just think that you are going to go into the room.

Anyway, I am leaving this thread before its too late lol

Yeh, that is true. I give my full respects to you, the minority of the honest and kind x's. Unlike the majority of the X's who ran along to the room lostie went to, which really pissed me off.

[:Act]

What was annoying sitting there.. waiting.. and waiting.. and as lost enterd the room about 10 Xs followed him. and sat down, making mine and other normal habbo chances reduced. if the X wanted to take part, then why didnt they join the room before it was full?

I joined the room 30 minutes before the event began. However, the Habbo's inside [including urself] said that i should reload and enter the room as the event starts. We had a good discussion and i think a fair point was reached And so, i did leave the room and returned as the event started as request by you However, you've just totally changed ur argument again As it stands, the X's cannot win this argument. Half of you want one thing, the other half want the opposite. How can we sort this out? Surely if L_W made the rooms of 50 size instead of 25, we would have less problems? I dont know, tbh is it just one of those things that we cant do anything about? Im trying to think of a solution but it's worked so well for about 2 years now, why are we suddenly having problems?
Also, i dont know why Lost_Witness said that X's cant play these events, and i dont know why people are backing him up. We are just normal habbos who volunteer our time to help people out. All i do on Habbo other than do X-ing, and chat to mates, is enter comps/events. If I am not allowed to play in these events because i am an X, i will have to seriously reconsider my priorities because I enjoy events so much.

I just think You Xs and HEAD Xs should be sorting this out and having a meeting.. then have another meeting to normal habbos, cause when in that room today the Xs (except :Act) wouldnt listen to our views.

Things are trying to get sorted internally, just because you dont hear about it doesnt mean we arent working on it We try our best
And thanks for noticing that im desperately trying to sort this out [theres a bit of a difference in opinions at the moment with us] lol

I hope things get sorted out quickly, but what worries me most is why it is suddenly such a problem after having like 2 years without difficulties. Maybe this will just die down? I dont know. But trust me, things are trying to get sorted xx

Maybe X's (or just team leaders) should just get VIP badges if they really need to host events. Anyway, it's good to see that our ranting has made some sort of progress. :Act, reloading does nothing, and yesterday highlighted that (The room reached 40/25).

OR why don't we abolish the whole system and make the world a happier place?

Edit: A MOD is reading the thread. Only a matter of time till it's closed? -.-'

hmmm i dont know if this makes sense, but why not have two seperate rooms counters?

for example if the room limit was 25, 25 habbos could get in however when the x's enter and the room limit goes up to say 27/25 still keep the 25 spaces for normal habbos but add people with override permissions ontop rather than you waiting for the 27/25 people in the room to reach the normal 24/25 again?

The only privilege all X's get is the room over-ride. Yes it is a privilege and X's that are seen to abuse that privilege get noticed as it was noticed today. They lose any respect they may have earnt from the community and sadly dishearten those X's that never abuse it. I've listened to this type of situation lots of times, and to all the pro's and cons, and in my opinion it would be wrong to remove room over-ride because of a few people.

X's have always been told in the past that if a celeb or a special event is taking place, that they must enter after the room is full, thus not preventing Habbos who have queued from entering before them. Then they should periodically re-load the room to allow others still attempting to enter. This works and doesn't work, because if 10 or even 5 X's are all planning on entering a room after it's full, and all do enter when it is, they aren't aware of just how many are still trying to enter after queueing for ages. They also aren't aware of each other also waiting for the room to be full before they enter. This is a no win situation, because everyone still complains. It's impossible for the X's to calculate how many are still trying to enter. It's also no fun having to keep reloading the room, in fact it can be quite annoying, because you might miss something you were really interested in. At the end of the day X's are players too, they play the Hotel and are just as entitled as everyone else to enter events and competitions. It's also wrong to assume that every X at an event is abusing their privilege.

At the moment there is only one simple solution, if an X so badly wants to take part in something that doesn't require them to use the room over-ride attached to their badge, use another account, and if they win something be allowed to have it on their main account

Until another better suggestion or way forward comes up, I do think it's wrong for X's to be excluded from being players.

Some good points Alice, but I think that what most people don't agree with are the privelidges that allow guest room over rides.

Surely, if there is an X event (when they are most likely to need the over ride for guest rooms) then they could just have a VIP badge?

The current office team don't like handing out VIP badges for no reason because it comes with anti-kick etc. Plus if an X is blocking something by accident, they can't be kicked.

It depends what X you are really, Gamer X.... Gaming and Racing Rooms?

Hey as far as I'm aware eXperts are still allowed to participate in Habbo Events, but this was never an issue when hobbas had the over-ride. And there was way more hobbas than there are currently eXperts.

That's perfectly fair Good to see that in place actually

Still doesn't stop them overriding.
