Lack Of Events

[James]

Exactly, which is why i said there should be some sort of reward system for events staff to work for.

Lmfaooo funny thing is, there is one.

[lawrawrrr]

Most of the people in this thread aren't moaning because there is a general lack of events (which would be improved if more people applied), but that the events staff simply aren't pulling their weight.

And if it's a holiday thing how come almost every other fansite has still got a full timetable?

subtly done x

I think the amount of events this week is pretty poor but it's not something new. Seeing as Hayden has only just been appointed manager I agree with Sofi that it's not fair to say he's doing nothing. Getting used to the role and learning what's what and how to do things takes time, especially with a big department like events. Also, is it not possible to raise the minimum number of events done each week for EOs? It's 3 a week isn't it? Which is pathetic... I understand that it can be hard to fund prizes but that shouldn't really be an excuse for not doing events as I should hope they have some kind of prize lending system for the poorer EOs to use.

Plus we really can't blame all of this on the other departments just because they're allowed to host as well. If we look at the bigger picture, there are always hardly any events. Like someone said (I think it was Sofi), other departments have been given the choice to host but it's definitely not their job. The idea is to advertise our own departments, not cover up the laziness (I'm sorry, but that's what it comes down to) of the events department.

didn't he get events manager weeks ago? genuine question i can't remember

and it isnt hard to understand how the department works, it takes a couple of days to learn everything if that

but yeah i don't blame anyone but habbox, every department is a mess at the moment

We currently have a points challenge where you can win up to 300c and there are people still just doing their minimums.

This part is quite untrue. There are quite a few people who do pull their weight (and sometimes, the weight of others), but it's just not everyone. As I said before, people like shoned, tyler and cassie do pull their weight, and then some, hosting 15+ events per week. but there are some who just do their minimums and expect that to get them somewhere.

But that's my view.

Then it needs serious re-vamping.

To say every department is a mess is completely untrue, i can think of a few departments that are always improving and there are people who work hard but do not get recognised for their work.

Quite untrue? What? If it was untrue we'd not have zero events booked until January, and a hell of a lot more booked over the last few weeks.

Granted, you and Tyler go above and beyond, Sho does too recently, but I hardly ever see anyone else hosting even their minimums sometimes! But that does not make up for the fact some staff are dragging their feet. If everyone in the department pulled their weight, we'd have at least 5 good events per day, not all hosted by one person.

I meant to say everyone isn't dragging their weight is untrue, but yes, I know some people really do need a kick up the backside. Most people use the excuse 'I can't afford prizes' or 'We volunteer so we shouldn't have to host all the time' when honestly, you should be hosting because you enjoy it, not just to get a usertitle saying you're a part of something.

It annoys me when people say they can't afford prizes yet their room is full of rares, LTD's and other stuff you don't really NEED in the room, but just want to show off. Eg. with thrones. You could sell that, get enough prizes to last a few months and just sit on a normal chair. There's actually no difference what so ever.

But yeah, that's my opinion.

The bolded part "I can't afford prizes" i'm sorry but that is a piss poor excuse. I don't understand why they would even apply if they don't have enough furni for prizes? that just doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure that they can spare some bits of furni at the very least or even use another events staff's room? i'm sure a lot of events staff use other events staff rooms?

Yeah, that's what I mean haha. 'Got no prizes' then you get invited to their shop packed full of norms. But okay.
