BaW Group 2

[Okeanos]

no idea but I'm actually laughing at the fact that he signed up with the username "BAW-Pivot"
is he some kind of leader
is he even in baw anymore XD

no he isn't. the old baw crew seem to be staying on in some sort of 'advisory' capacity. i find it very ironic considering i was an 'adviser' in the eurovision event and they repeatability told me that being an 'adviser' meant nothing and i should go away - the word seems to have taken on new meaning now its them doing the advising - funny that!

Well done to group two, especially Daltron and matt2205.

Just wondering though, does the new group of builders replace the old group because from what I've seen it looks like the old group are still clinging on to the rank - which seems pretty unfair to the second group of people.

I won't lie it's very intimidating for me having the original group there still pretty much doing everything and interacting on the forum etc. :/

I don't get that? I thought the group was limited to six months in order to give new people a chance? Why are the old people hanging about?

[TheBoredom]

can you post screenshots of some

Haha i've never wished i had taken some more in my life than i do right now... i will try to get on my old PC and see if maybe i have one, but i've never really intentionally stopped to take screens of my rooms, so i don't know if i will have any, honestly. sorry

(see bored_1 mentioning that he was only chosen cos he had a helpdesk... lol).

Well, not quite... again, i did have some participation in RBI as well, however limited. The quality and style of my help desk was what got me into RBI, and i really do wish i had some screenshots to show, as it wasn't your typical "Help desk." it was more of a chill room. I get the sense people think i was some how chosen based on favoritism, which simply isn't the case, i don't interact with staff almost ever, and i don't think most staff care for me very much as i am so opinionated and outspoken. I legitimately think my work spoke for itself, which is why i wish i had not picked it up, or wish i had taken pictures...

I just think there should be some sort of application process whereby people say "Hey I'm interested! here are a few screenies of rooms I have made" rather than people like "TheBoredom" who seem unsure of how they were even picked because he never applied or showed any interest in it. Also why is it staff picking? I think since they have intrusted Jendro to be like the "lead builder" he should get to pick his team and then if he picks someone staff utterly hate then they can veto him.

see above... but i also agree it should be the previous team who has input on the next team, as well as jendro (or whoever is leader at the time) and that there should be an application/interview process to it. I guess i shouldn't say i have no idea how i made the team, what i mean is i don't know who suggested me nor who chose me. i have a good idea why i made the team, and wish i hadn't destroyed all my rooms to sell the furni... i may throw something together quickly with BC for people to pop in and see my style... check my rooms in the next week or so...

He's not a leader, he isn't in BaW, but we're just getting started and in fact haven't really done anything but talk, and some of us have met, so Pivot and Undercover have been visiting with us, and answering questions - mostly for me. I know that I appreciate their help, and look forward to having their guidance - it is good to have people who have been through it before to guide and direct us. Also, KitchenNinjette has told us that we are allowed to have outside help, so if we want Undercover and Pivot to work with us, or give input, we can ask. They have no official title nor position on the team, but they are definitely welcomed and appreciated - at least by me!

See above. They are not clinging to their rank. Think of it this way: they put a lot of hard work and effort into BaW, and now they have to hand the reigns to someone else, so of course they want to make sure they answer questions, and make sure we are okay. Also they have been kind enough to let us learn from what they have already found from season 1 by allowing us to see the season 1 forums and see what to expect. we are also able to ask for suggestions, and help. That being said, we haven't even started much yet (except Hawaii, that man is a machine at building!) so there really hasn't been anything for them to help with.. .so what are you even talking about...?

Edit:
I will try to throw something together for people to look at, check my rooms in the next few days, not sure what just yet, but we'll see. This is gonna be a good season, even though we really don't have too much to work with (june is a boring month) but hoping to see some fun stuff come from this group!

I don't disagree with a lot of what you've said and I'm not going to begrudge you or anyone else their place in BAW... however I think making a forum name with a "BAW-" prefix is clinging to the role and frankly it looks a bit desperate. If you want their help then by all means take it but you can also ask non-BAW people for help too (Hawaii helped a lot in BAW rooms for example).

can somebody outline what being in baw ACTUALLY entails? what are you building rooms for exactly

I already intend to ask a couple people outside of BaW to help on some projects!

We basically make rooms for events and promotions. Like we have to choose from a few of the holidays next month (mostly international stuff) and make rooms to go with those themes which may then get used as public rooms by habbo. we may also be asked to make stuff for youtube, and do events, or judge competitions. at least that is what we've been told. we may end up mostly just making rooms for holidays and promotions, but who knows what the future may bring!

As someone's who's been an active room builder for years now and really is passionate about room building, I'm disappointed that there isn't a more clear application process for something like BaW. I've actively participated in nearly every room competition that's been hosted going back to the Canadian hotel and have won a good number of them. I challenge myself with new types of builds all the time and am constantly playing around with furni and I feel like that's the attitude you should have to be on BaW. Simply having one "help desk" that's "more of a chill room" isn't enough to show how passionate a builder you are. You should just build for the sake of building, and have rooms and history to show that.

I feel like Jendro should be in charge of the picks, with staff simply recommending, rather than the opposite. Applications would really be the fairest way of dealing with picks in the future. We should have to send in screenshots and links to our builds as well as display that we've been previously recognized for our building ability, through comps or otherwise (i.e. picks of the pack, staff reviews, etc). I could list plenty of people more deserving than some on the current and previous team ( @kovsky and @Okeanos are two that I think of in this thread). BaW has the potential to be a really great way of rotating through and showcasing passionate and dedicated builders in a clear and fair process rather than a shady program that doesn't have any clear structure or selection process.

I'm not sure but yesterday I logged on to take part in building for an event and the room was done. It had a group too so I checked out the members and it was like most of BAW1 and one person from BAW2 so I just had the impression they had worked together.

I am not sure, I don't know why I am there at this exact moment. Hopefully over the weekend I can take part in projects with my fellow BAW2 members.
