ftao; events hosts

[lawrawrrr]

They turn up to events like HxSS because theres a large prize involved

Normal EOs can't do that or they'd run out of items in no time.

Can't remember who posted (or if it was same idea as I had when I told mathew) about a system where the user can request points, so at the end of the game the winner would either get like furni, rep or points

and points could add up and be exchanged for the likes of VIP, or increased rep etc so it would attract some forum members to more events.

The back to school starts soon so will be 1/2 weeks of non-stop events again.

effort to type more.

think that was @dbgtz; but aimed at comps? It's a great idea, I actually think the two departments could share a 'points prize pool' where all the points prizes would be given out from, reducing the stress on comps/events?

i like this idea @Mathew do it now pls

The idea of another form of prize has been around for a while and It's certainly something that Mathew, Amy Tom, and myself are discussing at the moment.

points does seem like a good idea but before putting it in place you would have to have a really good think of what you would actually want to offer as redeemable prizes. i mean, you don't really want to give too much or too little away

why not team up with radio and work on big events. It's a win-win for everyone .

Tbh, I don't know why they haven't collaborated on a massive "Name/Guess The Singer" (live) event. If that has been done, my apologies, but it would still be a great regular thing to do and it's not that hard to play .

i think someone mentioned this idea before but unfortunately it probably wouldn't work. peoples radios lag at different times and it wouldn't be fair for someone who had a slower radio in oppose to someone with a faster radio. as well as that, you've got to look at time being an issue too. habbox events seem to last for at least an hour and for it to be a joint event habboxlive probably wont get to play as much music and what-not.

Completely forgot about that haha And yeah the time needed to play music as well as host an on-air event would be rather difficult I suppose.

I've not read any of the thread, so I apologise if this has been brought up before, and sorry to go off on a tangent here but event organisers really need to learn time.

It's BST in the UK, not GMT, and 05:00 means 5am, not 5pm.

Also is there a rule where event organisers have to post times for events on the hour, because I've seen many posts for example that say 'Falling Furni - 3pm', and it was posted at 3:26pm.

I do agree. Most of the EOs are generally okay after they've been informed however it does do my head in haha. The other thing is that I think it needs to be a bit more clear to new EOs that they are representing Habbox and therefore when writing CNBs they need to be to a good standard. 'falling furni in my room - 3pm" for example is not a good announcement title. I remember a few years ago things used to be very strict in regards to CNBs and I do think EOs shoudl be more aware of how important it is. Obviously not the end of the world but generally just doesn't look very appealing.

And in the Events dept. you are required to post your announcement around half an hour before your event starts and I do know that sometimes people forget which is a shame.

Nearly every single event I have seen in the last few days has posted when the event was starting, let alone 30 minutes before.

It's not compulsory to do it half an hour or so before, sorry I shouldn't have used the word required... however I do agree, those announcements being posted after the event has started is a no no for me.
