Summer Spectacular Prizes/food for thought

[lawrawrrr]

Even if it was more even, rather than the massive difference between top team's top scorer and the other team's top scorer tbh, would mean you keep the whole team thing without penalizing the other top scorer for their team.

I've never understood why the teams are Red, Green, Blue and Black. I'd assume that the teams would be Red, Green, Blue and Yellow because they are always thought of as the 'Main' colours, let's not lie.

Is there a reason for this or was it just a random pick? lol.

[lawrawrrr]

oh my god if the black team is changed im actually going to cry

black for life

Ask @nvrspk4; he created HxSS I believe.

Looking at the points it seems a bit unfair that in terms of point overall lawrawrr came in 2nd place and technically I think she should have won 300c

The way the prizes are at the moment I could have technically come in 1st overall, even beating everyone else by 1,000 points and still only get 50c whereas someone with a lot less would get 500.

I do not believe it's been done like that before for HxSS or any other tournament (although someone sad enough could go check I suppose). I agree with Graham, you need to keep the team element of it so I prefer the 2nd one to the first one.

However, I entirely disagree with the creation of a 'yellow team.' The great thing about HxSS is that it does what other events aren't so good at: it makes people feel wanted. If they win and they haven't got a team, the whole room shouts their colour and lavishes them with praise urging them to pick their team. To most people, I think this is a very addictive feeling and can get them involved in the next event and the next event and should, if advertising works out, get them to the forum and HabboxLive where they can win more points. If everyone knows they're going to be in a 'yellow team' and that there's a chance that their points won't count then I imagine the majority of people will not bother going through the effort of getting them from yellow to a proper colour.

I'm not sad, but I checked to name sure I'm right. In 2011 the prizes were like this:

1st in winning team, 2 Throne and x amount of credits.
1st in second team, 1 throne ans x amount of credits.
1st in third team, 1 throne.
1st in third team, 300c.

That's how it could and should be, in previous years I haven't bothered playing much because I would get nothing for 2nd place on my team. Even if it was like 20c it gives people that incentive.

However, as it's been said, Laura was in the third team therefore she would get a worse prize than those who got less for her. Perhaps expand the overall points award to the top 3 people as an additional thing.

Well they are. 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the losing teams get something, it's been like that for the past two years at least. Perhaps the system could be changed to make it more fairly spread and that's something for Jade to look into next year but it does need to keep that team element as well.

Last year it was the same as this year
