Game & Event Hosts

I brought it up and Andy answered. I didnt understand his answer and I was too embarrassed to press him on it. Xie too has also brought it up and maybe other hosts.

I found Andy’s answer to my repeated question.

From Andy –

” I thought I had replied to this last month when you asked, but just to confirm—every game hosted, including event games, is included in the monthly sending.

We don’t set any restrictions on this, but for event games the host can decide whether to give out only event prizes, or both event prizes and vouchers. Regardless of that choice, the host reward box is always included and sent as normal.

Example:

• You host 1 game every day for 7 days (2 of those days are event days).

• The bot would send you 7 voucher boxes for the month (one per game hosted).

• In addition, you would receive 2 event prize boxes for the event days.

This means you technically end up with 2 prize boxes that don’t necessarily need to be given out. You can either keep them as your own reward or choose to give them out—it’s up to you. Either way, you still receive the host voucher.

I hope this makes things clearer. We could also look into providing each host with one dedicated box of prizes to keep. Let’s discuss this idea in the next meeting and add it to the list if there’s interest.”

I gather that the extra regular game boxes we get are the reward. I tried to give out regular vouchers at a event game and it confused the players and they didnt wait for me to give out the extra vouchers.

Thanks @Gia for finding the original reply.

It’s currently still on the monthly meeting notes to be decided on.

Simply returning all voucher sets during an event and then getting a prize set would be one option.

getting an eventbox would take a way a lot of the stress to choose to go play for prizes or host, I love to host but I usually host in the hours that players have great odds and then If I wanna play there is allways a lot of competition or rw demands my attention..

I don’t think its fair to the event organizers to give hosts a set of event prizes. That should be reserved for their special gift, to thank them for the huge work that goes into it. I do think however we should be allowed to use our host vouchers to buy the event prizes we want.

We used to have 4 or so venues of things to spend our vouchers on, but those are gone. There used to be more wearables. I want to purchase something special with my host vouchers, I do not wish to pay rent. Adding 1 vendo with a few items doesn’t replace what was there.

We used to get gold for hosting. It would be nice if something could be worked out, i.e.: 1 (or 5 or so) gold for consistently hosting for a month, or 1 gold for hosting so many games, etc.

I am usually not IW for the monthly meetings. Just a few cents from me😄

I think prizes for vouchers via a vendo would cause a riot. The weekly vendos have in 2 weeks already taken out 4000 vouchers from the system so it gives you an idea on the volume available. Returning to gold supply on hosting would put VZones out of business within a month as we are reliant on gold and VIP to keep things growing. Either a different reward event themed and removed the vouchers could work or sending 1 event prize/dp for each game hosted could possibly work.

What we used to do (Pye was doing) is have a “Thank you for hosting X Event” box that the prizes for the event would be sent to the hosts in. I believe this is what beannie was asking about. This is a separate thing from the rewards that Hosts get for hosting. If a member hosted the event, they would choose the item. The picture shows some TY gifts from events past.
