BaW Group 2

[Kyle]

I've been approached by 3 separate members/affiliates of BAW being told to stop judging the group and its members because I "know nothing" about it/them. Well I know all that I need to. I know that 2/3 members of the current group have't built or even helped with building anything for the community since RBI, I know that they don't have any form of showcase of their talents and I know that nobody - them included! - knows why they were chosen over others more capable.

If the purpose of BAW is to showcase builder's club then I don't understand why people who've never used it before are being allowed in. I don't understand why people with no furni at all are being added if a wide range for small touches is required. I just don't quite get the logic.

I've already said it but I feel I need to reiterate so people don't think that I've got some kind of grudge or vendetta against them which is what normally happens - I don't doubt that the BAW team will do a fine job, I just think that others were more appropriate choices this time around. If any other members of BAW want to come into my rooms and slate them then please remember that I, like others, don't keep my rooms up for long/haven't been in bc ages/have helped with other rooms rather than only creating my own. But thanks for having a look, means a lot.

My own NON BIASED suggestions for the next batch would be users familiar with BC, users that build more with BC than with normal furni, that have displayed their building prowess in the past, that are consistent with their builds and style and that are still building whenever opportunities arise. An application process WOULD be ideal but it's not going to happen by the sounds of things so I suggest the current team start taking notice in room comps and not just allowing staff to dip into RBI like a tombola and pull out randoms.

Well done for the first event. I know habbo are clutching at straws to bring up things like 'turtle day' so that BAW actually have something to do, and you guys really did a great job with it. It's a great concept and easy to get the hang of and the badge is beautiful. Congrats to both matts and hawaii who seem to have put in the most work this time around, hope to see some of the other members' unique style shining through next time.

Get pushing for more furni ranges in BC.

Well shouldn't you be using builder club furni to promote it rather than normal furni?

exactly, if that is the aim then stick to BC only!

Some times that's not possible, for example, last season they had to design an office for the Agency Fair but there isn't any executive in BC so how can you just use builders club? Builders Club is useful for the blocks, other than that all it has is the cheap furniture you find in 1-2c shops and the current campaign furniture. Also, only one person in the group is allowed to drop BC furni, so it kind of limits us in that perspective as well.

I don't know why you're acting like a smart ass, obviously we're allowed to use other furni than what's in BC and we won't be asking for "help" every project. Anyways the room we built for the Turtle day is like 90% BC, excluding the wired. So what's your problem? We are using BC. My point is, it's useful to have furniture OUTSIDE of BC as well.

The staff selection is based around work in RBI, other peoples recommendations, and room competitions. An application process would be nice but then people who don't even build will try to apply just to be in it. I think the leader should have a greater say in who will be in their group, as they'll be working with them for 2 months.
Also, there does need to be more furniture in BC and we're trying to push for it but it's the whole "don't want to ruin the economy" debate. There's some things I don't agree with either but at the end of the day staff aren't just selecting randoms, they are selecting those who worked well in RBI and have shown themselves capable through room competitions. The next season will be interesting since the leader is changing, there will be a lot of debate on who will get selected for the role.

Why should RBI have any influence on this? RBI was proven to have failed largely due to it being filled with preferential treatment by staff. If staff wanted to avoid that then they should make BaW completely fair, applications are the way to do that. Who cares if people apply who haven't built before, that's the whole point of having applications... so you can screen out those who are applying for the fun of it. Your argument just doesn't make sense, of course completely open and apparent applications are the best and most fair way for people to be hired. There's a reason application processes are used almost ubiquitously for jobs. Having staff select without any sort of clear criteria or way of getting your name out is why nepotism and bias was an issue in RBI and continues to be an issue in BaW. People who are the most deserving and dedicated should all have a fair chance at being recognized. Those who are hired should not be surprised or confused as to why they received the position, nor should the community.

All offices aren't made from executive, you're meant to use your imagination and be creative. You said you were to promote BC which is why we responded with the obvious so stop being a ****. All builders should have furni to build with so your point is invalid.

[Okeanos]

they are selecting those who worked well in RBI.

that's odd because i remember most of the BAW people who were in RBI did very little.

You're the one saying use imagination and be creative when the majority of rooms that came out of your events had rollers, one way gates and coloured tiles. I didn't mean that the whole room has to be executive, but the main design for agencies involves executive so it's good to keep with the theme; for example if we were to build a room that reflects casinos and I used Pura and lodge from BC then I don't think that would work. We're building a HQ for BaW which will be an office and we're not using executive, but going to do our own creative design.

Yes, we are going to promote BC by showing what can be achieved with it, and that's what we've done with our first project - you're exaggerating on my point. If my point is invalid, then why do staff not care if people have furniture or not upon joining BaW? All I'm saying is there's tonnes of furni ranges out there and if we only used BC furni we'd be limited and constantly producing the same styled rooms, which I'm sure you're quite familiar with yourself.

I never paid attention to RBI so I wouldn't know.

[Kyle]

Just make sure the BAW office isn't just a rebranded twilight house like the RBI one was lol

Does anybody know when the new BC blocks and other ranges are due to be released?

[Plebings]

[Yawn]
