I know it is done on a volunteer basis, but there is also an application process which means it is a selected position. I believe that there are many people who would love the opportunity to be events staff. I just want Habbox Events to excel really. It's constructive criticism. Everyone moans about Investment Banks and look, they're being reformed now via the Vickers reforms. Also, I feel that you have failed to reply fully to my points.

I reject the notion that you believe that the reform and inquiry into a department is unnecessary. I point out the Rare Values Department back when there was the price fixing scandal. The whole department was overhauled and sorted out and Habbox rare values are better as a result of it. Now, I'm not suggesting something this drastic for Events but something on a smaller scale perhaps?

Why do you keep comparing Habbox Events to real life? ITS AN ONLINE GAME THAT YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN. You're the only one who has a problem with letting people back in when they have qued up for ages and then disconnected, no one else in the thread has agreed with you. everyone else has just mentioned other problems with events and complaints. build a bridge and get over it because i'm starting to worry when you're comparing habbox events to the olympics and investment banks, you might have a bit of a problem....

lmao i love you warren, it's so ironic.

I let people back in if the round hasn't finished, if it has they can wait. That's the rule I got told and that's the rule I followed, not everyone gets let back in.

I woulda thought it obvious that I meant while round was still going..... Goes wthout saying

ikr :rolleyes:

people get let back into events when they dc all the time and just because that person ended up winning the game doesn't mean that it's unfair. i dced in an event not long ago, was allowed back in and won and no one was complaining then? 'shocked' and 'appalled' are a bit extreme imo when it happens all the time :S

Think it also depends on what event it is too, if the round is nearly over in FF (i.e. tri or one space left to do) then I would be more weary to let them back in as opposed to Don't Get a Carrot etc.

The form of your rebuttle seems to be an attempt to belittle or bully which in fact has no content whatsoever. I believe in equality and fairness and I know that if I got disconnected I wouldn't be let back in and I wouldn't ask to be either.

At first, this thread seemed like an attempt to belittle and bully but it seems to have developed into something a bit more worthwhile. I'm curious as to why you're so against people being let into a game if they disconnect though? Why wouldn't you ask? It's not your fault you disconnected!

The irony is, that it was infact the person who disconnected who lost and therefore they were being a sore loser in not accepting that they are out of the game. I infact was still in the game. In addition to this, I was pointing out the favouritism in the events department with regards to the fact that hosts are extremely inconsistent. Some let just their friends back in when they disconnect or have problems or are away, whereas others are consistent and just let nobody back in. I think we need further clarifications of the rules of events.

Hence further emphasising the inconsistency in the hosting of events.

I let people back in if the round hasn't finished, if it has they can wait. That's the rule I got told and that's the rule I followed, not everyone gets let back in.

I'm quite confident that they wouldn't have been let in if they had lost the game (you never mentioned that part in your original argument either). I understand it can be frustrating if you feel you're being given unequal treatment, although it is indeed unintentional. We don't have an official rule on whether people are let back in or not because, to be frank, it's completely down to the Events Organiser's discretion and we trust them to make that judgement. I think most Events Organisers (myself included) follow the same "rule" as Samanfa. If I was hosting a game of Falling Furniture and another round had been completed before they returned, obviously they wouldn't be let back in as they'd have an unfair advantage. You can't pin a rule on this because there are so many instances to account for. I also don't like bombarding Events Organisers with rules to memorize left, right, and centre - there's enough as it is. It's a voluntary position, it's their game, and they've agreed to represent Habbox. We can not, and should not, control them.

Well imo in games wher someone looses in each round it'd be unfair after the round obv, if it puts them at disadvantage and gives everyone else extra chance like ff then I wouldn't say so. Obviously events like trivia races and pod racing (first to wall version) u could come in at any time tho tbh, after all trivia races ppl can come from the queue to fill up empty seats that are reset at anytime.

Moral of the story, ed stop crying over spilt milk.

Yes, I started the debate but I take Habbox seroiusly as opposed to Habbo.

Yes, I choose to participate in it and I choose to voice my opinion about the failings of the events. Yes, okay, I'm the only one who had mentioned disconnecting but I have also been talking about the bigger picture which others have been agreeing to and I thank you for agreeing with me that there are failings on a bigger scale.

I apologise if I come across as "extreme" but I believe in fairness and equality and I will not rest until there is justice. I have strong integrity and morals about what is right and wrong and I feel that Habbox Events need to return to their former glory. Everyone is certainly NOT treated as equal. Comity verified this point earlier when he said that he had never even seen me before. People are judged by their reputation here which doesn't bode well for the future.

Matt, I'm not just against people being disconnected and rejoining. That was just one of a plethora of points regarding Habbox Events. Please do not take it on a personal level as it is not at all a reflection upon you. I am just searching for some consistency as I feel that there have been slipping standards. As pointed out earlier, the management should come on with an unknown account and this would allow them to do a review. Other departments have rules and high standards - these should be across the board.

So you are agreeing with me in some cases in actual fact... So again we return to the inconsistency. Furthermore I am against your attempts to put me down by use of clichés. I am also failing to see what moral you are trying to highlight. This phrase you have used is in fact a fallacy as it is not a lost cause already. I am standing up for what I believe in and fighting for it.

You still haven't mentioned where you believe the problem lies - it's just rhetoric. We'd be happy to discuss issues and solutions, but there's a lot here about "morals, equality, glory, and fairness" when I still don't understand the issue. I don't think there's any "failings" at all, but that's just one man's opinion against another. I don't judge you for it, don't worry.

So again: If you have some general things on your mind at the minute, just post them up and we'd be happy to take a look and post a reminder. If it's more personal though, private message is the place to be.

I still don't know why you're against it at all though!

Alex or General Management may want to go on an unknown account and spy on fellow staff members, but I really do find that a step too far. I attend events enough to understand that they're genuine - we don't need to hide anything here!

Sorry but saying events don't have high standards? Yes it isn't as rigid as something like news where me Sam and Laura scour articles for even the slightest details, but i was in events long enough that it has incredibly high standards, with things to do with staff being followed up highly appropriately, and the rules in place work very well, its just insulting to say they have poor standards tbh.
