ftao; events hosts

[Alex3213]

I only think it came a problem over HxSS, because there was SO many events, & Amy was away for the majority,
And so was Alex for 2 weekends,

The problem is, you didn't have me..

I don't think it's necessary to have one when it's not competition time...

Me neither. Also I do think that a lazy attitude could be adopted by seniors (could be, don't worry amy/matt/alex) because when I was senior one thing I did check was the type of events and I know that was a focus for Matt and Phil too. If it was on Habbox.com, the seniors might think "ahh too much effort to unbook this just cos bingo was on an hour before, I'll leave it here". We don't want that, do we?

I personally think seniors shouldn't be responsible for booking/unbooking events at all. This should be the role of each EOs.

Senior Orgs and Managers should be responsible for OVERSEEING the operations and ensuring things are being done according to the books. Say an EO is not booking properly or not holding events for a full hour, then it would be their responsibility to get it resolved. Senior Orgs could spend their time brainstorming new ideas for the department or even event ideas, rather than going through the boring process of booking and unbooking people's events.

EOs should be trusted and should also be capable of booking/unbooking events. Leave the Senior Orgs and Managers alone and let them do things behind the scenes. My opinion though!

Couldn't we have one like the Habbo one? You know how lately when there's been a big competition on and on hotelview they have like 5 - 7 different Habbo's with their avatars and when you hover over them it displays how many points / 1st 2nd 3rd etc. That would be quite cool!!!!!!!!!!! If it could be done?

But I guess that would only fit in with the habbo skin? meh...

Hahahaha, that would actually be fantastic. Not sure what the non-Habbo users would make of it though!

I don't want to host something that's not really related to News, and besides Sam's sorting that out as I don't have enough funds for a room. We don't get donations either so prizes are a bit tough too. I don't mind someone else hosting it so I thought I'd suggest it.

Ooooh, alright! If you wanna PM the idea to Alex or myself, we'll put a thread up to see if anyone wants to give it a shot!

I've always liked the personal touch that comes with booking events. We've always been able to thank the EOs for booking so many and pointing out any difficulties that may arise from a game. We use our discretion when it comes down to certain events too; how long do we leave between two Bingos in the same day, for example? You can't sort out things like that with a panel. We wouldn't be able to take action, we'd only be able to react after it had happened.

Yeah, would allow it to be more advertised on short notice as well, for example I book an event at 2AM chances are no-ones online to add it to hx.com (if theres still a hx today?) so if someones randomly checking hx.com for updates on event it'll be instantly updated as well

...and perhaps that would encourage people to host more often too. It's growing on me. We have our own "Events Today" box on Habbox.com which displays the daily events.

I think there needs to be a mix of both. I know how tedious the job is however it kills two birds in one stone, if they do add all these events they are far more likely to step in where needed to say 'no that can't be' or what not. Like I said, if it was all done on a panel which all EOs could access then the SEOs could perhaps think 'hmm maybe it's not that important afterall' which can build problems up over time.

Laura, I really loved the Crossword Puzzle.

Is there an event you can do something similar to that throughout the year? Of course, we want to make sure there's exclusive events for News during HxSS.

We didn't get STUPID amount of entries so I don't know how well it would go down! Might consider a bit more of a semi-permanent event though, thanks for the suggestion

We could do something like "find a spelling mistake" competition or something.

Like, I'm not asking a news reporter to purposely spell something wrong, but what we can do is, change a spelling of a news article thats 1-2 weeks old and make the habbox readers go and search for it.

This way, people will actually read the articles to find the spelling mistake and it'll be something fun people will do for prizes.

What do you think?

This could be like an "English" subject for back to school event.

(ie. Bob forgot to spellcheck his work when he submitted his history paper some time this month. Can you go find the spelling mistake? Bob's teacher will reward you with _____ if you can spot the spelling mistake! Winner will be picked at random.)..I know it's a lame example but something like this..

What y'all think?
