Nah that's not the change I meant obv.

Ok so lottery returning, yay. It was noted that there were a few changes which as far as I can see is just limiting tickets to 10 20 per person and doing rerolls instead of rollovers (both of which I have no objection to) but if there's more that's different from the last time do let me know. Overall fab that the idea was not only listened to and discussed but acted on quickly, glad to see it back and here's hoping that we can look forward to better client funding in the near future woopwoop and everyone go buy tickets or I'll hit you.

There's also staff-wide permission to host events now, which is another step in the right direction in my view. I think for the present at least that people outside the actual events team should be required to fund their own prizes furni-wise so as not to leave the entire department defunct, and as far as I can tell this is currently the case simply because it's not been noted as otherwise anywhere that I can see. That brings me to another point - what I can see. At the moment I have access to the staff scheduling forum which is I'm assuming down to the merit/ex-staff usergroup being counted as a type of staff group. If that was intended then fab and I'll probably make use of it at times because it sounds like a laugh and I like to support the site/community, but if not then there's a heads up that some people who aren't staff at the moment have access to that.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ON EARTH YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SITUATION PEOPLE

I approve of FJ being able to run hilarious events.

If it's allowed, then great. If you haven't checked with staff that it is ok to run, then I hope habbox aren't gonna be penalised in any way for doing it, and I also wouldn't want to be advertising a lottery on the client.

I hope that Habbox Merit users are allowed to host events, you may get people like MissAlice and Tom hosting which I think can only be good for the community.

So also with this new change, who needs to be in events anymore? Scrap the events Deparment.

This is something I've been thinking and from what I hear it hasn't been

[Inseriousity.]

Technically there is no change to the main lottery, which was always rerolled, fixed prize of 100c, 20 tickets limit. The only difference is the removal of the dream number which did have rollovers when it wasn't won, 4 numbers instead of 3 and a 50c increase in the prize each month it wasn't won (starting at 50c).

I don't think it's really necessary to include it though. It might be a good idea to see how successful the managers are at selling these tickets before they add another one. The good thing about the dream number is that you can't 'sell out' in the way the main lottery can so if the managers are good at selling them quickly (the record is 3 days), it might be worth looking into to maximise profits.

i doubt they have, they just brought it back avoiding the rule really. although I imagine it would be easy to get the people banned for selling tickets if you report them.

why bother with staff

[Chippiewill]

The main thread is poorly worded, implying that you can only buy exactly 20 tickets for the lottery.

[Sho]

I'm working on a funding system for the Events Department atm that will be funded by me which will include credits and furni bundles that can be used for prizes, but yes it will only be given to those within the department rather than everyone who hosts.
