I came across these comments







However, in the same thread, Matty summed it up in a nutshell:




What started out as a great competition, is now turning into a complete farce, and it's only week 3. With another 5 weeks to go, I have a feeling that the "rivalry" will get worse

Actually, I gave him rights and he voted, I did not say rights if you vote.
Second off, why would I want to vote anyone that isn't my friends? because that would basically give me more competition in the final and I'd rather my friend win then some randomer.

Why??? Because that isn't the spirit of the competition? People are supposed to be voting on what they consider thebest room that week.

Remember, when casting your vote you should be considering the creativity in the room and how well the room resembles the country it is based on.

Please don't take this the wrong way but your win was a case in point. I loved your room, I thought it was great, but it wasn't the BEST room that week. Many people feel that Memmish should have won that week. Your room only won because you had most of habbox voting for you! Yet that really isn't what the competition is meant to be about is it? Sadly, however, that seems to be the path the competition is taking - it's not about best room, it's about most popular person

Again, I reiterate, this post isn't meant to target you, and I apologise if it offends you - I'm just using your room as an example ... I'm sure there will be more examples to use, as the competition goes on

I completely agree with you on that Pebblehab. It is no longer (or ever was) about the most creative room. Its about the most popular habbo submission.

And yet here's another issue:
"None of them
After seeing the relatively average/poor standard of the rooms in this round i wont be particpating anymore"

What do you mean the rooms are "average/poor standard". This comment completely baffles my mind.
First of all, I thought this week was a tight competition because of the good guality of the rooms. And a few of them really stand out with there displays of creativity.
Secondly, what do you mean the rooms are "poor". This competition is not only for wealthier habbos, its for the WHOLE hotel. Weither the rooms are wealthy or not shouldn't make a difference. This competition is based on representing a country using your ideas and creativity. Its not about showing off how many thrones you can shove into Kenya.

Looks like the cheaters came on top again this week. Nice voting habbos :eusa_clap





BTW, anyone notice which African room has been leading the pops list for a few days now? Cameroon. Which doesnt make sense since it came 5th place. Why would people continue to enter a room which they feel is "just average"?
Obviously the voting methods are flawed, and the true winners got shafted.

i think its pathetic to only vote for your friends! i simply look at the rooms and vote my favourite, its about the most creative room.

Im glad chris won this week because in my opinion it was the best room, same with the switzerland one.

I hope people will vote simply for their favourite room and not for any other reasons such as free furni, being good friends, free rites, plus rep..... i could go on.

Also i agree that the comment saying the rooms were of a poor standard is odd :S all of the rooms had plus points and everyone had made an effort.

Just look at the rooms and vote your favourite! its not hard!
