@Mathew;

Under the habbox feedback forum, can we do a poll to all habbox users as to what games they like? (ie. list all the games that the current event orgs have). This will help us determine what games we should be hosting more. @-Amyy; @Smurfed-; @santa-my-nana; @Catchy; @Comity; @Red;

I don't think it's an uncommon thing to see the rarer events being hosted on Habbox anymore, which was a problem a couple of months ago. I feel that this has been a focus of the department from my perspective and it's great to see something being done about it. Granted they may not have been as varied as they could have been during the HxSS period however I definitely think it's something which is being sorted out. Like Matt said, when surveys have been done in the past (and I'm pretty sure there was one before Matt did it with similar results), both traditional and the less common events are equally enjoyed (near enough anyway) so I do think it is important to keep the Bingo and Don't Roll A Six from time to time.

I know that there are some staff who do host some original events which is great news. I think there needs to be a balance between the two and I think this is already improving and now just needs to be maintained. I do know that sometimes hosts begin to slack so host some boring FF cos ya don't need to set up a room so if this happens again in the near future both Mathew and Alex need to address it as soon as possible.

I'd also like to say how good I think the new trialist batch have been.

There are 50 events on our list but there are dozens more we could add: a poll wouldn't really be feasible. I have been considering making a feedback thread for everyone to discuss the Events Department though, just so we can get a feel for what people do and don't like in general. Perhaps that may work?

I'd completely disagree with that, as then the top few events will just be hosted mainly as they're the most liked

Should just update the staff handbook and make sure EOs are aware of it and then pick from it.

[:odey:]

I love to host original games,
But I also like to host 'filler' events that I call them,
You can't host original after original event, so during the week, I like to host the same old boring games, while buying furniture / building rooms for an original game at the weekend,

I'll try to host more original events more often
But make sure you come to bingo at 11pm ok... :rolleyes:

Need to figure out a way to do this in a controlled environment though. Just a random feedback thread may lead the discussion all over the place. I'm just hoping the events tab comes back soon.

And this is what is what works best. It's just the best way to do it! Gives such a variety all over.

Whilst events have been brought up (aww poor Alex on his first day), what's happening about Weekly Events? Do they still exist? If so, it could be an idea to perhaps just have an hour, or maybe even 2 hour slot, a week where you KNOW you're going to get an event which is hosted not too often. Not as a Weekly Event (just came up when I was thinking about them lol) but with different hosts each week but from the public's point it would mean that if they want something different, they can have it!

Not entirely original every time of course, that's just too difficult to ask.

I agree. We've kept the Events Applications open for quite a while now and there seems to be a steady stream of decent applications coming in... although I'm sure it has something to do with the time of the year too.

Done!

Nice idea. Who would have thought you had such a strict system?

Maybe so!
