The minimums ought to be raised really; as far as I'm aware it's only 2 events a week which is nothing, especially for those who host really simple games that require no effort. 2 hours out of 168, half of which are probably spent on the hotel anyway. Also what is the reason for events not being (at least partly) funded? The lottery seems to do fairly well, and comps is fully endorsed despite the total cost per person per week being like 10c. Having credit incentives for those who host often and successfully would boost team morale, cause more events to be hosted, and entice people to join up - especially since in some events the host can end up giving away anywhere up to 50c in the hour. Perhaps it would be worth having official grabber events open more often to raise funds, people do like playing those anyway

I somewhat agree with what you've said here but I don't think raising the minimum will work especially since school/college/uni et.c has started back. There are currently 21 events staff (not sure how many are intl.). Those in the BST timezone will all be looking to host events in the evenings after school and if the minimum is increased, it will become hard for people to meet their minimums. Also, speaking to some events staff somewhat recently, they also think that an increase in the minimum would be too much and would bring too much pressure.

For those reasons, I think the minimum is fine. Hopefully people are in the department because they care about Habbox and want to help it improve and for this reason they should host more events. If the minimum were to increase, I think staff will start to feel under pressure, it will then become a chore and they'll resign and I think Events need to keep whatever staff they can because for some reason staff turnover hasn't been too great recently.




As someone who has seen the department grow since early 2010, I think it's important to remember how far it has come. Heck, even before I was manager the minimum was three events PER MONTH, there was no panel, no advertisement on habbox.com (apart from advertisement on air) and while there hasn't been any massive changes lately, the department can only get better from here. People saying that Martin and Alex aren't fit to run the team, I think that's crap. I think it's very unfair to say that no feedback is never taken on board but really, every ounce of it is taken on board. I've been in calls/chats with Alex and Martin and Alex would say "Martin remember we have to talk about A, B & C that was brought up in the feedback thread.". When I was Senior, anything that was suggested was spoken about with the management team including the AGM and completely broken down before a decision was made.


I'm gonna stop typing now because it's almost 2am, I just read that back and it makes no sense but I felt I needed to say something. Feel free to rip me to shreds.

The events department being largely funded by Habbox was something I wanted to eventually move to but the whole point of making changes is so that they stay so it was important to test the water and start small first just to make sure that it wouldn't completely bankrupt Habbox, hence the introduction of a prize fund that is atm quite limited in scope. I don't think the events dept. will be fully funded seen as the comps dept is more accurately 250c a month (possibly even higher) and the events department's outgoings would be considerably higher due to its very nature.

As for Alex and Martin, I would say all managers care for their departments but very few try their damn hardest every single day to improve it (a sad truth really).

To be totally fair that's a screenie from a 3pm slot which no-one here had booked so she might have had more than 4 people when the event was actually on. Still ridiculous that our staff struggle to get 10 people turning up and HFFM have queues just to get in the room

In regards to the last part of your post, will we ever find people that will work hard every day to improve a department? If the answer is yes, why are these people not managers?

Think it's down to the belief that they should work through the ranks and that you can't essentially overthrow a manager, even if they're really **** quite a lot of poor managers don't leave until they resign or get fired and firings are only rewarded (I don't think that's the right word but hey) if you do something awful.

I'm not disagreeing though, I've seen enthusiastic ordinary staff who seem to care a damn lot better about their job than their own managers and they usually have more ideas on how to push the department forward.
