Pirate and Princess Party

[Vary]

I think it'd be helpful if the Hosts' gold doors led them to a hub instead of directly to the next room. A hub room could be set so regular players couldn't enter it, which would prevent players from winding up back in line by mistake, and it would help the hosts keep things straight when they get 'lost', as both Fin and Hula did from time to time during their parties, because they wouldn't have to find their spot again from the guest room list. If they were working from a line of doors off a central room, all they'd need to do is keep count on a piece of paper.

I have to say I think making four rooms TDM-only rooms and only having host visits in two rooms isn't such a good idea, just because the potential for confusion is so great. The people who read the forums would get word pretty quick, I'm sure, but there would be a lot of players who would find themselves in a TDM-only room and spend most of the night waiting for a host that isn't going to come, or would find out about the change after the lines for the rooms the hosts are visiting have already filled up. If they want to make sure everyone gets a chance at a prize, they ought to do a special Q-button quest during the event instead.

I'm not sure that the trivia questions are the best way to award prizes. I'd have gone with something with a more random element. Even a Disney-themed guessing game would be more fair. "I'm thinking of a Disney Princess..." It's not a trivia contest, really: it's a fastest computer and best typing skills contest, which means that a handful of people are going to have a huge advantage over everyone else that has nothing to do with knowing their Disney trivia.

And why on earth isn't Miss Bella doing any parties? They're her rooms, she obviously put a lot of work into them, and she doesn't get to enjoy them?

I've tried two parties and never got in a room. It has been very frustrating. I know they are doing their best, but there has to be a better way.

I also think that having separate room functions won't work, because it all boils down to this: Players enter the room looking for face time with the Host.

Sure, there will be players who just want to get in and out for the prize, but I think the majority of those are people's mules. Most players want to wait to be able to greet the Host Du Jour.

Just being able to keep track of the rooms would be a start, though.
It's a shame they can't double up on Hosts, though. That would improve the wait times.

Clearly, I don't know the answer to this question, but...

It seems to be that building is Belle's specialty. She built all the ride-a-thon rooms, she built all the party rooms, and I think I am forgetting another event that she built everything for as well. Maybe that's her "thing"?

They are beautiful builds.

I thought Vary's suggestion of gold doors leading to a hub is an excellent one. Make it friends only or whatever has to be done so players can't enter it.

I don't know why Bella doesn't do the parties, she has obviously been the builder lately, perhaps she just doesn't like hosting?!?! Probably never know the answer to that one.

Perhaps she is in fear of the stalking that will take place?

she is pretty HAT! WOOT!

I resemble that remark.
