Competition prize suggestion.

[dbgtz]

This idea was said a lot while I was competitions manager. I didn't really like it tbh. Competitions' market audience is normally the newer users (ofc anyone can enter) but I think it'd cause a lot of confusion that they'd won a competition and only got points that they have to accumulate.

How is that at all confusing, if it's clearly stated on the thread where to exchange points it's fairly simple. Infact it's basically buying something from a shop, which I'm sure a lot of 10-12 year olds have grasped the concept of. And if necessary, you could easily do what Laura said.

I like the idea of that, haha.

Like collecting points

What do points make? Prizes!

it would be more awesome if i could exchange points for money $$

VIP is only really offered for special competitions or events so to include it as a prize for these proposed points would mean you would need a fair amount of wins to be eligible in order to keep it exclusive. I don't know if it would work for the newer members who tend to enter the competitions now since they would need to stick around for a while to even have the chance to enter, let alone win, a good enough number of competitions.

That said, this is a nice idea for those older members who don't necessarily use habbo or care so much about a few free rep points and I can see it encouraging a lot more people to enter. Keep the prizes as they are and add a disclaimer that states that if they choose not to take the prize then they can accumulate wins and exchange them at a later date for a different prize if they so wish. It can't be too much trouble and surely will save the department a few bob on the coins they'll have to fork out.

I would be sure to enter more competitions, if the tokens could be accumulated and then spent on larger stints of VIP,
I think that's actually a fab idea.

I think this is a pretty good idea, a choice of Habbox Tokens or Habbo Furni, why not offer members a choice of the two.

Competition entries could do with a boost, and donations of furni and creds would still be attractive to new players!

A lot of people do the comps because of the coins and rep though, me included. I've won 5 coins and 10 rep and that is the reason I do the comps. Personally, Habbox VIP isn't something that I really want, and I prefer the prizes as they are.

Also 5 or 6 comps is 25 or 30 coins, which can give you a good furni.

But the proposed system would offer you and all users a choice if they don't want the furni. You can still enter and win furni, others can enter to win other things.

I guess it all depends on the furni they offer and the other prizes if winners don't want the furni.

Really i think it should be uto the competition staff what prize they offer. I did a comp last month which should have obviously been a vip but it was stuck with a 5c one hence the lack of entrants. I remember @Catchy; asking if he could buy rotator for the winner of obe of his comps and was allowed. I'd happily give my own furni away as my comp prizes, I don't agree with points really though.
