I agree it would be nice to get a general idea of how the 'habbox population' rates events...

[Red]

Good idea but as the majority of users don't use habbox then not really a worthwhile system to implement.

Might seem like most do lately as it's been the tournament, but after that it's mostly randoms

More habbox people might play though if the point system was introduced!

Weekly Events still very much exist and I've been in the process of sorting them out since Monday. We have a few EOs willing to take the plunge, and I'm hoping a few other departments are willing to dedicate some time on the client. HxHD has the SNQ, so I think it would be nice if site-based departments (like Graphics and Content) came out of their shell and introduced themselves to the client. We're working on it!

Focusing a couple of hours each week on a "lesser-known event" is exactly the intention of Weekly Events and it's worked well for us so far (especially considering the fact that an award is given out... and sometimes VIP).

That's good. I think this time round they need to be given far more publicity, I very rarely saw any of the Weekly Events signatures around on the forums.

And good. More of a reason as to why they need to be shown all around then! There have been Weekly Events in the past which performed poorly week in, week out (although I can't remember what) and that shouldn't be happening!

True too.
@Mathew; Has the management ever thought about revamping the way we give prizes?

For example, having a "point system" for the PLAYERS. Say that every time a player wins a game, they win one point. They can collect throughout the year and maybe have a system that allows players to redeem these points for goodies (ie. 80 points=habboxforum vip; 50 points = events staff for a day; 30 points=1 habbox lottery ticket; 20 points=option to pick a SNQ question; etc?)

Phil and I considered introducing a points system last year, although it never really took off. We actually created the thread and asked EOs to post their winners, but we found it didn't really work out after the first day. We were going to award a month of VIP to the person who won the most events each month, but we decided to go with the "Player of the Month" idea that you can see today. The main problem with this idea is that we'd have to ask EOs to record every single winner, and I don't know how feasible that would be. I know it works out with the tournaments, but then I don't want the exclusivity to be taken away from tournaments either. Alex and I will discuss it with Mike, then perhaps put it to the Events Organisers. Thanks!

i always made sure i hosted different events, i got bored hosting unlucky chair tbh but people wanted a bit of a difference so i didnt mind :/ i had a few other event ideas that don't require too much furni so if any events hosts would like to steal those ideas (i also have a big weekly idea) then please PM/VM me and i'll let you know!

I was going to host these events but i quit instead (a) don't see myself returning in the forseeable future so I really don't mind!

Perhaps you could host the Weekly Event on behalf of the News Department?!

More habbox people might play though if the point system was introduced!

It would depend as the motivation behind it would mainly be VIP as nothing else could really be given away?

@Mathew;

How about having a little "thing" on the habbox thing. LOL okay, that didnt explain much.

You know how Help Desk staff and News Staff has a habbox account to keep track of their tasks?

What if we have one for the events department; but to have like a tiny one-line "submit form" where hosts can just type in the username of winner and press "submit" or something and then automatically it generates a list of winners in one page for everyone to see and it auto counts how many times each of those players won?

Not sure how feasible this is but I think it could work.

Do we still have Jungle Run every Friday since Nadia well... Got outed? @Habbic; I don't think that's true... I always see Habbox people at events so I don't know where you got that idea from tbh.

Nope, no more Jungle Run sadly... although that was one of my favourite Weekly Events!

That's good. I think this time round they need to be given far more publicity, I very rarely saw any of the Weekly Events signatures around on the forums.

And good. More of a reason as to why they need to be shown all around then! There have been Weekly Events in the past which performed poorly week in, week out (although I can't remember what) and that shouldn't be happening!

The signatures can be seen on the Weekly Events thread in the CNB, and on the page on Habbox.com. EOs with a Weekly Event do tend to add them to their signature (I know Alex did before he replaced it with a HxSS one, booo)! The problem at the minute is that there's only a couple of them!

I know there was one Weekly Event in particular that was problematic last time and there's a chance of it coming back in the near future. I've made some suggestions how it can be better run next time, though!

So like a public leaderboard? Surely that could easily be done but it depends if the events managers were open to change.

[scottish]

tbh with ideas above

I think we should have a panel for booking events so it's auto done and logs it so management can still see booking/unbooking etc. Would allow it to be added to hx.com a lot quicker and just more efficient in general, if that was done then there could be an area on it to allow EOs to post the winners for each round/event.

I already have access to a Leaderboard system on Habbox.com so I don't think it would be too difficult from our position. The real task would be making sure every single Events Organiser is recording their winners and posting them in a thread. We'll talk it over.
