@CosmicAndy Please send another set of prizes – I will host Slingo, last game of the event, on Sunday at 11pm. TY

@CosmicAndy @Jayce Two things… 1. As Zophia mentioned above, the prize Stolen Loot doesn’t sit in the correct slot. And 2. The name of (I think?) the belt should be KEEP ’em tucked in…. right now it says KEEM ’em tucked in.

@devramarie Andy is referring to a Town Hall Meeting, if I’m correct. IMHO I’m not sure that’s the best place for Host issues to be discussed by non-hosts, except on issues that benefit from a player’s viewpoint. BUT….. whaada I know?! 😜 I agree with you on what seems to be the “competitive” nature of things iw compared to how it was years ago. Who has the most, who has what others don’t, who gets chosen to participate in certain things, favatars, etc etc. Sometimes it seems like someone is enjoying sitting back and watching the lions scrambling for the red meat. EH… not my thing, so I choose what I enjoy doing, or enjoy what bit of artwork makes me smile.

Just tossing an idea out here… Could there be a Special Item created for JUST hosts to receive …. put a vendo in host area by the house/host area tickets, so that hosts can get ONE of them? This will make it limited to a special reward for hosts, created by one of our artists, limited-edition inworld. This could be something new monthly and not available to everyone else iw. Hosts could decide if it’s something they want to keep for themselves or gift to a friend. The item could even be in a special box named for the previous month. IE: Starting September 1st, the item box could be named “Host Reward – August ’25.” That way those that “collect” could keep them in an area and easily find them.
Just another side note: I’m not particularly in favor of all hosts receiving an event set because that’s usually something special the Event Host receives for all the work they do over the course of weeks, which is a big undertaking. I think that can be a slippery slope where some can host a game or two and others can host ten games.
Looking forward to further discussion on the matter.

I had to read your explanation twice to understand, but just to make it more clear….
You’re saying that a host would get 7 boxes of vouchers if they host 7 days. PLUS, if they host 2 games at an event they would be using event prize sets instead of their regular voucher sets. Yes? If I’m correct, are you are saying that the HOST can keep those two voucher sets to use for themselves? So, I host one game a week regularly on Tuesday. I do host at events. I’m not substituting event prize sets for any regular hosting sets. So, the scenario you describe doesn’t fit for me, and I’m sure others as well.
What I do when I have extra vouchers, I use them for random “Double Voucher” Days, OR I use them in addition to the event sets in different ways. I haven’t kept any vouchers for myself unless they are specifically designated as “Host Voucher”.
In the past, Hosts would receive a “Host Thank You” box of vouchers that was reflective of the number of games they hosted in the previous month. For instance, say Gia hosts 20 games a month and I host 4 games a month, of course Gia should receive more of a hosting reward than I do.
I’d be interested to know what other hosts have to say.

@CosmicAndy Andy, just to clarify… is this just ONE game room, which means just one game per hour? And, is it inside the gates?
-
@CosmicAndy Hey Andy…. there are two of the 1st Mustang Convertible ’65 NP prizes in my prize set.
-
@CosmicAndy I will be hosting Slingo at 1am vzt Friday, so please send one set of prizes. TY

@CosmicAndy Hey Andy, I’m just passing a message on to you from Kizza. She said she had won a turf prize at Safe Crackers and was trying to get in touch with you to claim it. Can you try to catch her iw at some point, please? Thank you.

@CosmicAndy Sorry, I edited my questions just as you replied.
Not poking at any one person, but I’m still not understanding why a public auction can be held in TST but nothing else can be since I already had a couple game locales built there already (used for when I was practicing).
Is it only because it’s considered a “Non-Game”?? (which seems like an odd reason, but <shrug>).
I’ll add one other thing…. I always disliked Game Dome from many years ago, still do, and rarely go to games there. I can’t explain it…. I’m sure it’s PTSD for some reason or another from back in the day when I was a DS’r. We all have our quirks I guess.
-
@CosmicAndy Ok, so let me get this straight….. If I want to host a “Jester’s Come Home” event in a turf I decorated for that specifically, or, at a certain locale like HG, I just have to ask for approval (what would cause it to NOT be approved?) and then I can add it to any open hour (just ONE hour or can it be any open HOURS on a day?). For instance, I get all my stuff together and announce there will be a “Pop-Up” event coming soon… be on the look out! And then, when I see a day that doesn’t have much scheduled, I could have people in but NOT do games in it?? But, I could do a Raffle?? Or, could I do games with my own prizes? Can I do games where people bid on prizes where I can make tokens like games on Price is Right?
Since I’ve hosted numerous events now, you know that I’m capable enough to organize something like this. Do I need to ask for approval each time, or do I get a “blanket” approval and just let you know when I’m interested in doing different ones?
Also, many years ago we were able to host in TST, but then it had to be Game Dome. Does it matter at this point?
And, if anyone is allowed to come, it’s still considered a PUBLIC “event”, not PRIVATE, isn’t it?
I have another idea for random games, but I’ll send it to you via the event email.
Thanks for clarifying (I think).

@CosmicAndy @Tabitha see https://www.vzones.com/help/game-hosting-rules/ I’m looking at 8 and 13. I was under the impression that I could do an impromptu game if there was nothing on the schedule and was just trying to round up peeps to come and have a game at my turf. It’s rather confusing because 13 says games need to be on the schedule. So, does that mean if I choose to do an impromptu game, use my own prizes, but I also put it on the schedule? If I put it on the schedule, it then becomes public, not private………. or am I wrong? Again, want clarification.
-
@Happy_Tobe_Here @Tabitha @CosmicAndy I was asking because I wanted clarification as it was on the schedule. I thought only sponsored games were on there, otherwise I could put a game on the schedule and use my own prizes. The other thing is…. if someone isn’t an official host, how would they have access to the host forum or schedule? What do you consider “private” hosting ? Just trying to understand according to the host rules.

@Tabitha No, she’s not a host, but I posted in FB forum.

@CosmicAndy Anything left in the Event turf can be deleted now. Thank you.

@CosmicAndy @Heidia-Dia Just two questions…. 1. Will it be possible to broadcast an announcement to join Marianne G for the “History of Fern Day” at Middle Temple Door on Temple Street at 8pm VZT? Parade to follow and then Fernie Hunt.
And, 2. am I allowed to give each of the Fernies one of the host ty gifts <birdbath>?
-
@CosmicAndy Andy, I need more prize sets duplicated please – I left one in the turf to do so. I’m already short 8 and not everyone has signed up yet. Update – TY Dia for making dupes.
I also sent email with the host gift information. @Heidia-Dia
Thank You.
-
@CosmicAndy Ok, Andy, with a little help from Heidia the prize box is complete and there is a box with the hunt handouts complete. So…………… everything is ready for you to wave the magic wand and make duplicates! The little Fernies are ready to run around too! I will come up with a host gift soon also. Thank you to you and @Heidia-Dia !
-
-
@CosmicAndy Please see email for final tweaks. TY
-
@CosmicAndy I’ve sent email with adjustments needed to prizes.
-
@Heidia-Dia I heard from Marianne this evening… Friday, August 1st at 8pm vzt she will start at the middle temple doors. I put it on the schedule temporarily so that the time slot didn’t get filled with anything. -
