The minimum goes weekly from the first day of the month to the end. So dey: and other staff probably have met their minimums, it's just that they're shown from the 21st of the month to the next 21st.

And yeah, minimum is 3 a week.

If the minimum is 3 a week and you've only done 7 events from 21st Apr to 21st May (which is over 5 weeks), you've not met the minimum. Theoretically, let's say someone did 50 events on the 20th of Apr, and I changed the dates from 20th Apr to 20th May, then they would be way over the minimum, but in reality, they would have met the minimum with the week that included the 20th of Apr - but still failed to have met the minimum in the weeks after.

Basically, the picking of the dates can have an impact on the total number of events, but it won't make anyone reach minimums they didn't reach before.

Oh yeah, oops. My bad .

I know you're probably wanting someone to comment along the lines of "So when do they actually host events" seeing as you've just summed up a whole year and to be fair this is true (or for GMT people anyway). Other commitments do get in the way and I don't really understand what you want us to do about it (apart from spend relentless hours on the computer and make more of an effort to find more staff). Unfortunately, this is what happens when people go to school and they have to get their priorities right when it comes to school work and habbox work. We host when we get time and due to lack of staff numbers yeah it can be quite hard to get more than 1 event per day. During tournaments we try our best to make sure the calender has a bit more going on but as you've stated, all year round there are different things going on and it's up to the individual on how they prioritise their commitments.

We currently have 7 staff members posted away, 2 of which are Seniors and that does have an impact on the number of events hosted. We did have more on that list but they have returned within the last week or so. In the month of April we had 179 Events in total being hosted from the Events Department (these exclude events hosted from HxL staff in the HxL Events Takeover) and in March we had 160. So we have gone up and we did get a large number of people returning all at the same time so that has probably helped. As far as this month is concerned, we have had more events being hosted at the start of May and then the Exam periods started so yeah, they will have obviously gone down from here.

I do think Events has improved considerably since I joined in December and that there is still room for improvement, however as mentioned before, Summer is coming up in England and we will hopefully see a lot more events in June (as 6 out of the 7 people currently posted away return within the last week of May)

Another question to anyone that knows: Is posting away department specific? E.g, you can post away for events but still do competitions?

I think if you want to post away then you post away in all departments. Doesn't make sense really if you're able to do one job but not the other. Should resign if you can't.

Cassiieee is the one thats bringing the events back to life to be honest

I'd say you could probably go limited in one department and not in another, if that one takes up a lot more time. But I highly doubt anyone would get away with going away in one department but then still coming online every day and working for another department .

Thanks for that lol. We are trying. Yes Cassie is doing a great job, she hosts a lot of events and her efforts haven't gone unnoticed, but I think it's the team effort that's making an impact.

a lot of events staff are young so the exam excuse is silly. why post away if you are doing gcses, just cram thenight before and u are grand!

also if cassie is going above and beyond for the events then people should not begrudge her of a senior position cos of the 'dae think cassie is a rude witchh with an iq of 6' circlejerk.

not that events even needs another senior

odey is doing well to get more staff and like i already said this op is not even representative of true figures mostly
