[DISCUSSION] Should Habbox Managers be able to win large Habbox events/competitions?

[Hecktix]

Yeah that's pretty much what's been said, Josh.

..I don't think I'll be entering the on air competition for 200c though. Great way to exclude people who don't want to go on Skype. It's about as unfair as giving someone credits depending on how good looking they are... :rolleyes:.

Not everybody wants to participate in every event. It's not as if HabboxLive don't do events for people who don't want to go on skype too :rolleyes:

You Sir, are a hero.

As for competitions, I prefer competitions that are based on luck, I don't like games like falling furni or bunny trap because the host can easily rig it. I'm not saying they do I just think competitions should be based on luck.

I just think competitions should be based on luck.

This is what I hate, it means that it may as well be a lottery and it's not fun either.

If we attempted to please everyone, we might as well close down the site now

I think you should at least make the effort to please more than one demographic :rolleyes:

Given that the show will get around 120 listeners I think that's pleasing enough people, then other shows will please others. That's how this sorta stuff works

It's all a bit of fun it's a real shame people don't seem to understand that.

So you want HabboxLive to do the same competitions every time? Last week we had a 150 credit competition that people could win but you had to do a maze to win, guess that's not fair on people that can't do mazes? :S You can't keep everyone happy all the time and I think the Skype competition is a little change and it's not something that gets done all the time.

But on the topic no I don't think we should be able to enter big competitions, I wont be entering them anyway as it looks rather weird if managers are winning the competitions

They shouldn't. Habbox Competitions are for the community, particularly the Habbo side which is drawn in by them. As a Manager, you should probably be doing other things than entering competitions

Staff are members of the community too

[lawrawrrr]

Just my two cents....

Managers aren't habbo-rich, but often end up giving away their own personal furni/creds for the benefit of their department/habbox in general. As long as they've had nothing to do with the planning, I think it's perfectly acceptable if they enter/win comps, or they're effectively donating real money for Habbox, through buying creds etc. As others have said, there is a good chance with all managers that they'd end up donating the majority back to Habbox anyway, so I don't really see the problem with winning these comps.

I know a few of you might think 'oh that's not how it works where I work' etc, but this isn't, at the end of the day, a professional workplace - it's a fansite for (mainly) teenagers - I don't see why manager shouldn't be able to have the fun from winning the creds - 'cos they might even use the creds elsewhere on Habbo - that's like taking away their free and fun time.
