(A)GMs hosting on-client Events

[Chris]

To be fair Matt, I think you're being a bit overly critical here. The General Manager role is incredibly demanding and I can see exactly where Laura is coming from when she says there isn't enough time in a day. Also it's completely up to them who has use of Builders Club...do you really think the Help Desk would look as pretty as it does without that?

@lawrawrrr;

I'm saying as a General Management team, why not share it out. I'm not saying you should be djing, hosting events, making competitions and completing all the other minimums of each departments on your own because you're the General Manager of Habbox. My original post was about events on-client and I'm saying you all have permissions to add events, there's three of you, why not all host some events. And I'm not talking about you hosting 3 a week (or completing the minimums as set by those departments), just share it out and host to increase your presence on-client.

But if Kelly didn't have the BC then we wouldn't have a HxHD really

Yes you would

unless they provided all of the furni themselves (which hasn't happened in the past).

Yes it has

I remember Graham donating a lot of furni for HxHD designs actually.

I'll probably be called crazy for suggesting such a thing and that I underestimate the amount of time (Assistant)GMs actually invest into Habbox - but hey it's worth a shot.

lol. I was more referring to on-client events rather than HxHD designs.

I mean we could always take some of your ideas Chris and open up hosting to all staff (and not consult the manager) and see how that goes down. I mean as a short-term solution surely that'll really help!

lol matt's edited that. It went something like this:

Well before builder's club, people who made a design offered to donate the furni they used to be used in the desk. When it was finished with, they would remind the person (me) then they'd remind me again then they'd remind me again then they'd remind me again then they'd hold me at gunpoint til i gave their furni back and they would get it back.

Honest question here... do you really think that Lauren should have responsibility for that? As AGM content her role doesn't HAVE to have a lot to do with the hotel really as the majority of her departments (with the exception of Values I guess) could be done EXCLUSIVELY off the hotel. It's good to advertise and support Habbox as a whole but I don't think it's fair to expect the same from her as someone who's come from a really community-oriented background such as Kelly.

Yeah, I've been saying for ages that I should be hosting more events and every weekend I fully intend to (I've said it to Jake so often) and things crop up and I forget... like I said though I'm going to try and make time today in fact. I'm building a room right this second for it actually!

I do feel like I deserve a bit of credit for doing what I do do, I have hosted the SNQ a few times recently, DJed before I moved here (it's hard now I'm at home with my parents around again), I do my monthly competition, done a couple of articles, all within the last month... and that's on top of the GM things and all the Twitter marketing I've been pushing recently!

Yes you would

What I meant by that was that it hasn't ALWAYS happened in the past - sorry - and the HxHD probably wouldn't look as good all the time because most of the furni in there is from the BC catalogues usually, so we can use the latest releases and do cool things!

I do remember on multiple occasions that HOURS used to be spent finding the one bit of furni that noone seemed to own (I have one particular memory of searching for a black minibar because the designer REFUSED to use another colour, during @Samanfa;'s reign as AGM I think), and I remember quite a few designs where the designer refused to share their furni, or had used BC to build it so we'd have to replicate, and like I said, I can't force Kelly to spend her own money on Habbo(x). Reminder here that Matt had BC, which he paid for himself.

Still happened though didn't it? Yep. So deal with it mother ****er.

Oh I'm sorry, you put a disclaimer in your first post, HOW DARE I CALL YOU OUT. :rolleyes: You mentioned HxHD so I responded to it.

The fact you've had to resort to making spiteful remarks about previous events proves that you're wrong. But in answer to that, yes it did work and no it never did any harm to the department.

Never got mine back, you held mine for so long that my laptop broke so I had no proof of you owing me it anymore . I think we got even though as you gave me Dice Masters the day before the gambling ban was put in place, so you lost out on Credits there .

I see everyone disregarded my point in the thread though, you need to look at the specific department before saying the GM team should host, and improve that first.

I do. She's AGM and has power. Her hosting increases the General Managements online presence and makes it look like they're doing more to get involved.

Again, it's not a single dig at you. I think as a team you need to do more to increase your online presence. Otherwise it just so happens that because you're General Manager you cop the shit. Hosting events was a possible solution to this issue.
