No Events?!?

[Lewis]

Hey guys! For a week from the 8th, the following games will be banned: Dice related games (With an exception of The Sims and Board Games) - Falling Furniture - Pod Racing - Don't Touch My Wall

More might be added.

[lawrawrrr]

I actually really enjoy pod racing, dttf and even dice games as long as they're not the majority but only occasionally!

But it'll be nice to show that we can offer other stuff, and let the staff prove that they know how to host good, original events!

Interesting move, hopefully it will be a good one. It would be nice to see more variety of events

I understand that some do actually enjoy these events, that's why I have no plan banning them forever . Hopefully this'll help gain some more interesting events for next week

I defo won't be playing events now fgs

How long do you intend to ban them for? I never saw much of a problem with falling furniture as it can be sort of interesting if you have a poison chair and it's fairly popular amongst new users on the client which is a nice way to bring in new members etc. I hope you don't ban them all for too long as even I (mr 99% anti-luck game himself) would never ban them for more than 2 weeks

I did at one point consider a system where hosts would have to host at least 1 skill event (something like a quiz / trivia / multitasking / pay day) for every 2 luck events they did to reduce the issue with such generic events, however this felt too restrictive so I left it in the end. Just an idea if you ever wanted to adopt or build upon that system.

I don't intend to ban them for two weeks, don't worry. I was thinking something along the lines of that, but I decided to do the weekly banned events idea. Of course not every week has to have banned events, though.

Next week is really just a trial week to see how it turns out.

Usually I find FlyingJesus slightly odd with the sarcastic random posts everywhere but I think he makes a very good point here.

Why not just get rid of the entire department and let anyone host events on behalf of Habbox? I have started hosting events in my room on Habbo over the past 2 weeks and it usually always reaches 30-40 users and I would happily advertise Habbox whilst doing this.

I don't like the idea of having to follow strict regulation here, change my usertitle, be active in a staff forum, submit for assessment, take direction from a manager about how to do things and all that mumbo jumbo that seemed to happen when I was on a help desk trial. I don't know if it's my immaturity when it comes to fansites or just that I have not been around long but the internalised exclusive culture doesn't really help I suppose.

I would love to just host an event and slide in a habbox advertisement and be done with it. Habbox is a great community. But I can't actively advertise my event as a Habbox event whilst another is taking place with a whole 3 users can I? Lmao

You could:
- Create a thread with general information you would 'like' users to mention if they host an event for Habbox
- Create a sign up board where forum users with more than X posts could lodge there event times for Habbox users to attend if they wish

Habbox is clearly the most trustworthy and reliable fansite, but I don't think it's the most user active. Maybe you should seriously consider the idea as I don't see your current Events situation improving anytime soon.

I just read back a few pages. I don't wanna be rude but how is banning certain games going to improve events?

While I also feel this is a really nice idea, I can also see it falling apart pretty quickly. People getting overly competitive with getting the most room visitors, trolls creating fake events and generally annoying the entire community. 10 events going on at once.

Generally It seems like a good idea, but there needs to be some aspect of organisation surely?

Yeah I understand there would be initial problems with organisation and it's just an idea
Needs a lot more work to it though for it to be viable in the long run.
