Arcade

[Inseriousity.]

You need to constantly use the cigarette break thing at the bottom right to save time

OMG WHAT CIGARETTE BREAK THING. I'M COMING TO GET YOUR SCORE. lmaoooo

[scottish]

Your idea is still to reset the score and there's not really any constructive argument in favour of it.

My idea is a lot more than 'reset the score' for the 19th time (or is it the 20th).

I want a whole revamp and the arcade to be completely redone, and would feel like a wasted effort in my professional opinion if you say let's change everything about it but let's leave 3 year old scores there.

Leaving it as it is might get 3 additional people OH I'VE NOT PLAYED THAT IN AGES, let's play it then in 3 days it'll be dead again with 3 active players playing once or twice a day.

Poll it.

Your idea still encompasses resetting the score, better?

They can add more games/revamp without removing the scores on the old ones. All that's gonna do is annoy the people that have spent a lot of time getting decent scores on there. Pointlessly alienating a lot of members just so it doesn't feel like a wasted effort (whatever that means) is not worth it.

Don't poll it, Habbox isn't a democracy and it's a stupid idea. They can add new games to the arcade without having to ask everyone what they think about it.

All that needs to be done is that new games should be added. Nothing else.

Scores do not need to be reset.

Your argument about the reset has already been torn apart scott. I thought you were going to tell me how I was wrong but maybe you realised you couldn't so ignored it

Damn I didn't think anyone would ever work out how to play 2 ball pool

Not really, stating you disagree with it =/= torn apart.

Pro:
- Arcade has recent high scores, not 3 year old highscores
- Arcade has active high scorers, not people who haven't been here in 3 years
- Along with other changes, gives arcade new lease of life
- People feel as if they may be able to reach those, encourages playing ~ possibly
- We have more than 3-5 people playing the Arcade per month ~ possibly

Cons:
- People spent time to get high scores that will be removed
- Older players get all the high scores again due to experience, and it's the same as it currently is ~ possibly


Without trialling it, you can't conclude that resetting the scores won't encourage newer players to possibly play the arcade more, and I can't conclude that it will. This isn't an argument of fact vs fact, it's opinion/speculation vs opinion/speculation.

and like someone else in the thread said, feel free to poll it and see what the majority of the community wish to do. Ensure that there's an 'I don't care' option to prevent people randomly voting for or against.

Lewis, FlyingJesus, Inseriousity goddamnit those freaking inactive high scorers who haven't been here for three years :rolleyes:!

[FlyingJesus]

- Arcade has recent high scores, not 3 year old highscores 3 new high scores in the last 2 weeks
- Arcade has active high scorers, not people who haven't been here in 3 years Most of the high scorers are currently active members
- Along with other changes, gives arcade new lease of life Conjecture
- People feel as if they may be able to reach those, encourages playing ~ possibly Not if we all straight away just go in and get the high scores again, obviously
- We have more than 3-5 people playing the Arcade per month ~ possibly Conjecture
