No competitions

[Inseriousity.]

Tbh most Habbo competitions nowadays have all been about trying to just get people to buy the latest new furni (especially those useless "quests"). I hate using back in the day but competitions used to be fun and exciting. I really enjoyed HabboWood film making competitionfor example

Yeah, you should try to hold one of those once a month or something, those look really fun and could certainly bring in a lot of new users to Habbox. Especially those who miss the ones Habbo used to do.

I do think it would be nice to hold them more often, although it would probably ruin the impact if they're too frequent. I noted that we received 77 and then 112 correct entries (over the two weeks) for the two quests, and I seem to remember quite a large proportion being completely new Habbos who'd entered the teleport through HxHD. We had people submit their answers through Habbox.com too, in an attempt to get more users signed up when V6 was released!

Habbowood was one of the best competitions ever (easily exploited though in one year due to the voting system, not sure on other years as I wasn't so aware :L). My favourite that I had done was the Habbolympics 2008 despite coming 5th and other teams cheating, there was just a sense of rivalry against other teams. The satisfaction of beating our biggest rival despite their best attempt to make us lose was awesome.

not a fan of the new comps anyway, same old winners boring boring boring.

I don't like how everyone says that there are always the same winners. Lately, they've been judging comps really great, the people who usually win haven't in recent competitions. Also if you see the same winners in each competition doesn't mean you have any less chance of winning, one example is the christmas room comp 2011. There were loads of winners who hadn't won any comps till then.
All you have to do is try...if you lose its probably because someone else's entry was better than yours. Sometimes there is unfair judging, no doubt about that but not always..

I could understand that statement when it comes to something like HxSS, staff just end up getting worn out. But for Habbo used to run one of these every week back in '07 so I reckon you could get away with monthly ones EASILY. And because people know to expect them you may find the popularity will increase over time.

Interesting point. I suppose if people know that there'll be a new one in HxHD each month then they may keep on coming back. It may be a good idea to give it a go and monitor the entry levels. Well... providing we can think of some storylines.. !

i don't enter mainly because it is the same old winners, i dunno how you can say it isn't. i don't read the articles because it's the same old names popping up.
