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 .

Does that mean there's a 'Staff away thread' in the Habbox Staff subforum, and not one in each individual department subforum?

CASSIIEEE deserves to be senior events org

no way

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

hardly, cassie is rude in events all the time...
Its not about the quantity, its about the quality.

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.

there's no I in team ;l

There's a post away thread in each individual apartment. If you feel the need to post away in only one department, you can do so.

The thing that frustrated me the most is that events was split into two sections. GMT and non-GMT. So pretty much, there was Matt and myself for the longest time on the non-GMT. the nights I spent hosting, none of my events were ever posted on the homepage (although, looking through other threads... The homepage really isn't a place where people looked)- so it was difficult to be a non-GMT hoster.

But that's my opinion. I enjoyed working under Lewis, and under Tom. Both brought a different perspective, and vibe to the department.

Who is AGM for staff? @Wispur;?

Why can people post away for individual departments - surely it should be constant across all departments?

The International side of Events is a completely different ball game altogether and I know it is incredibly frustrating. I do think that as Habbox is a Uk based fansite, anything that we try and do to get more international players will have no guarantees. It's been a struggle for a quite some time and I unfortunately don't see it changing drastically any time soon. Many ideas have been suggested in the past and many flaws have been pointed out and yet we still end up with very few players. It does depend on the time of the year, the actual event and if there is a tournament happening (as in HxEE we had a great turnout compared to normal events).

Posting away/limited seems to just be people saying "I don't want to do this at the moment but don't let anyone else take my role". Minimums are tiny it's like 3 hours a week and anyone who's so overworked that they don't have that much time to do something that they supposedly enjoy doing is likely to be doing a double PhD rather than their year 9 SATs. If you're on an actual holiday fair enough those last a week or two and you obviously can't be online at all in those times, but the number of people who post themselves away and then are online all the time anyway is ridic

oh, i didn't say the stuff i said to point out flaws, I just felt i was always dealing with the same situation over and over again.
I do see that there's a need in the International Events side of things, and I know me resigning from all my jobs probably didn't help either.

I totally agree with this, funny enough- that is one of the reasons why I resigned. I didn't think it was fair that I were to post away for 3 weeks (limited activity).. which i did, but didn't end up actually being that busy...
And even after resigning from my positions, i still feel like I wasn't as busy as I planned that I'd be.

But yeah, I guess most people look at the "posting away" as a fall back just incase they do actually become super busy.. (like in my case... but I wasn't haha)

Hey, being a part of the non-GMT and GMT didn't tell you when you could/couldn't host. You could've hosted at any time if you wanted to, but if you were non-GMT, it was much encouraged to host in your timezone - not forced .

All that did was split the staff up for the two seniors to give reports on, since one senior was GMT and the other wasn't.

Oh I know that. I've hosted anytime I could.
The thing that I didn't like is that when they split up between non-Gmt and Gmt they never realized that I(being from canada) are closer in time zones to the Gmt than those in let's say Australia. (No effence Matt)
That's why being from the non-Gmt group meant that if we wanted our events to be posted, we'd either have to book while the seniors were on.. And if you take a look, after some of the issues brought up during the hxee, I started tagging samanfa in my things because she could add them as well, even though most management is Gmt based as it is. And to have them split up, the majority of EO's were Gmt, so it almost seemed unfair to non-Gmt senior that he (referring to Matt) only had a few people where Samantha (being other EO senior) had the majority to write on.

Not saying I was restricted to only hosting during non-Gmt hours because you have to think, what determines those hours? Midnight here is 5am in Gmt. Most times I'd catch Samantha coming home from work at like 2/3am Gmt for her to add my stuff on...

It was really confusing to be fair.

Also, I would just host my game anyways.. Not saying I wouldn't because there were no seniors on. Like 85% of my events were not posted on time.

Thats a good idea, but for example, when I posted away, I posted in Events AND HabboxLive, but not competitions. Thats because I had already met my comps mins at the beginning of when I needed to post away. So I didn't need to post away for all 3 depts but for 2?
