Fire Comity and vls

[AgnesIO]

They managed it for years

What about habboxlive management who never go on air or don't have any minimums in regards of being on air? What about news management not posting articles, what about content management not updating half the site etc?

IF they cannot do the job, they should be sacked. The department is irrelevant.

[myles]

didnt he see how popular it was??? not only with normal habbo players but with habbox users who are sick of the usual and repetitive events

[wixard]

this argument is too civilised and mature

someone spice it up

Oh another thing, like @Comity; just said he hosted it for 4 hours, that wouldn't even be allowed at Habbox as we have to 'vary our events' and we'd probably be pushing it at hosting it for 2 hours.

Guest managers sound like general management to me They review everything we do, they write managers feedback reports etc. We recently received a report with like 14 or so paragraphs in detailing everything that needed improving etc. Normally when a manager is away the AGM will step in etc and oversee things, and that in itself would be a fresh look in a way.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree here. When I mean a Guest Manager, I don't mean someone to review stuff and write feedback reports, I mean someone to come in and change the way the department runs. So not offering changes, but doing changes. Then after a week, everyone reviews the changes and they see if anything should be kept to improve how the department runs in the future. When the AGM stands in, I'm pretty sure the majority of the time no rule changes are made.

Another rule that needs changing. Why limit good things?

[lawrawrrr]

How can you host an event that isn't hosted in the same way as a Habbox event? There's not many ways to open/introduce a game etc.

Ok, HxSS is what? 4 weeks max? And yes, it's impossible to have every slot a fun event, but it's clear to everyone that these so called 'boring' events dominate the calendar. If I were events manager, I'd ban these simple games completely.

Maybe that's what Habbox needs, Guest Managers. Someone to come in for a week to each department and be an acting manager, probably best scheduled if a manager needs a week off or something. The guest manager can do all sorts of rule changes that are only effective for the one week, they can't fire staff or anything, and after the week is up, the departmental staff give their feedback on the positive aspects to try and introduce some changes. Should probably also note that the guest manager won't have any chance of replacing a manager, it's just to try and get a fresh new look at things.

Whilst I agree with your point, why do we hire hosts that can't afford decent rooms?

Ye that's what I was saying, I was saying they're the same, that was my point, there's no difference between the two so hard to tell if it's official or not

Yeah but it's STILL unfair to say only good events are hosted in HxSS when that's not true at all, that's just when the bulk of back-to-back popular events happens. Simple games do get people turning up still, and classic games are fun for some people so banning would be a biiiiiiiig step back. I'd definitely limit how many you can host.

omfg I actually kinda like the guest manager idea, couldn't be CALLED that and would have a LOT of risks or things, and it would be EFFORT to revert the changes, but I do think that staff need the opportunity to give their feedback without just knowing it'll be ignored or shot down - or worried - because that's why a lot of staff don't bother sharing management ideas!

BECAUSEEEEE not all habbos are made of money and some might prefer to spend 200c on prizes and give out rares each round whereas another host could spend 200c on a fabby room and give out freeze tiles as prizes

whats wrong with hosting for 4 hours when the players are enjoying it and we get crowds piling into the room to play it?

I don't see how it would be effort to revert the rule changes, most staff members pretty much know the rules of their department inside out, so unless you hired new staff during the guest week, everyone should fit straight back in. Of course, if they didn't want to fit straight back in, surely that suggests that staff would prefer the new rule over the old rule.

And frankly it could be called Guest Manager, I don't see anything wrong with that. Guest Competitions Manager for example is fine.

And fair enough, but I doubt you creating an events room would increase the amount of EOs giving out rares

[Plebings]

i think all eos should be forced to have one group room, then if it's ugly we can have a group intervention and get a room makeover and braid each other's hair.

A bit flawed as I know HabboxLive management go on air, most of the time news was posted by managers, even @Inseriousity.; regardless whether he was our AGM or not told us to post news, but if we didn't we weren't allowed to take the piss and most of the time we met and exceeded the minimum of the department. It's just lacked recently, content I know Skynus does do work as well.

However, I agree, I always think that management should do the work too, it shouldn't just stop due to the status. I admit I think it can be bent a bit for them, but like I said don't take the piss.

Also, I don't mean it in a bad way, but you say vary our events, when yours aren't the most exciting or different are they?

Sure they go on air, but how often? I mean in terms of having set minimums. For example Events Management have a minimum just like everyone else. If you don't meet those then you also get a warning

I strongly agree that this should be the case too, managers of course should get involved and help out. Of course there are a lot of duties on top of that though. Quite often these exciting new games require a lot of furniture, a lot of wired and stuff, and I know I for one struggle enough for prizes sometimes let alone the funds for building fancy new rooms suited for these specialised events.

They may be basic, but people do like them, and theyre very often really full if the advertising is done right, a room promo is put up and people inviting etc. I know a few people who simply go looking for bingo's etc, and I guess there has to be a balance. If the people are turning up then I see no problem personally, 30+ is a decent number.


If I was allowed to host in other peoples rooms then I would happily host all kinds of weird and wonderful events, and I think for that reason we should have set rooms in which anyone can host etc rather than sticking to our own rooms all the time perhaps.


Its certainly an interesting debate and has raised lots of questions about the general set up of the department really and perhaps its something general management can work with us to change!

you are welcome to come drop pretty furniture in my group room any day ove:


I will be buying some credits soon hopefully for use as prizes as I've had to sell most of the stuff out of my old rainbow room to get some prizes and stuff, but hopefully then I'll be able to get cracking on something!
