Lack of events?

[Inseriousity.]

Official guest roles are terrible. Everyone wants the staff perms (and all the perks that entails) without any of the commitment. Tom's idea of an unofficial guest system for people to chip in as and when required sounds like a much easier way to get the same thing without making the staff you've got lazy.

Maybe it could be an idea to maybe open up the role "Guest Events Organiser" and open it to just former senior+ and say they have a minimum of at least two events per week, that way you are at least getting those events plus the events that the staff are doing also, maybe that will help. Just an idea, i dunno if its something that management would be interested in but its definitely something that works well with other fansites.

I'm sure theres former members of senior+ that may want to do events but don't want to return for example.

But if you're giving them a title and then giving them a minimum, is that not essentially giving them a staff role and therefore defeating the point ?

I believe the minimum is three events per week, because i know sometimes guest roles are introduced and the guests literally do nothing, so giving them some sort of minimum would at least make all the guests active .

Or preferably allow trusted ex-events organisers to host extra events when a slot isn't being used or something. And maybe allow seniors / (assistant) managers of any department to host events to contribute.

It's only just gone up from 2 to 3 so anyone who quit before isn't likely to be tempted back by being given the same work to do with less titular prestige the whole point was to keep it a casual thing that isn't actually a staff title at all unless they then decide to join

I didn't think of it this way but yeah i think that could work also .

in a quote to myself...

I mean, I'd love to host the occasional event for Habbox but I'm not up to doing 2 a week, never mind 3 a week. Maybe if it was the same amount of events in an overall month, but not two-three a week. Too much pressure.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah that was my point, there are plenty of people around who are capable and SOMETIMES willing but may not want to join up with the staff team and have a proper role, so it makes sense to allow these people to host (supervised) when no-one else is booked or wanting to do something. Seems daft that so often there are people sitting around just saying "oh there's no event on" when there are lots of people wanting one

Yeah I do think it'd help. The reason I never joined Events department for a long time was because I didn't like having to book events in advance etc, but I sometimes hosted small events if I was bored, which had to be non-Habbox.
