Welcome to our regular, not-to-be-missed round up of the latest happenings in Habbo Hotel.

QUESTION TIME - AGAIN

You're nosy, you lot! No sooner have I answered one lot of questions than loads more land in my inbox.If you've sent in a question that's not answered this week, don't worry I'm storing them up to answer in sections, i.e. all questions on Hobbas coming soon in a future HH. Anyway, here goes...

Q: Does the same Hotel Manager run all the Habbo Hotels i.e. the Japanese, Swiss etc? ?
A: No! That would be way too much work.. phew. It takes a lot to run a hotel albeit a virtual one - so to think I could handle four at once. Well, it makes me tired just thinking about it...
So, that's a no. All the different countries versions of Habbo have their own Managers, staff and Hobbas.

Q: How do you choose the people who work in the public rooms?
A: They have to be good-natured, have a great sense of humour and be durable! It can be really tough serving loads of people at once and constantly answering questions that's how we know we've got the right people for the job - because they enjoy it and stick it out! I know Piers is a bit moody sometimes but that's just because he sees himself as an artist (or ar-teast, as he says) in the kitchen and likes to have space to create his gourmet cuisine.

Q: I've seen some funny looking teleporters around. Habbos are calling them Imperial Teleporters - what are they and where did they come from?
A: Imperial Teleporters are the next gift for Habbo Club members. Not many people will have them yet - 'coz you have to have been in HC as long as it's been going (no breaks!) to be due yours. That's five months in Habbo Club, and you have to have previously received all the other gifts including Dice and Tubmaster first. Like all other teleporters, you'll get them as a pair and then be able to step into that underwater-like green glow...

WHAT HAPPENED TO FUNKY FRIDAY?

Last week - what a disaster! We did try all of Friday (May 23) to put the new competition live but to no avail. Technical problems glore and so all I can do is to try again this week. The first Funky Friday will start on May 30.
However problems with our system are not your fault and you should not suffer. Therefore, I'm doubling the prize on offer - well, giving the main first prize to two winners instead of one. And if (but hopefully not!).. but if, we can't put Funky Friday up this week - then next week, three Habbos will win first prize and so on.
However - I hope that will not happen so you can finally have a Funky Friday competition and start winning! Check the Funky Friday page now to see the situation...

CHEQUES

We've finally cashed all of the ones we've had in. They were done today right in front of my very eyes - so check your purses, there should be Credits waiting in there to be spent. If you've sent a cheque and your purse is still empty, don't worry! It just means we haven't yet received your cheque - probably just a slow postal service. As soon as we get it, we'll put the Credits into your purse.

ROOM DROPPER TIPS

Have you ever sent your room name to be put in the newsie and then never seen it there? :(
It's not anything personal but sometimes the messages we're sent are hard to understand, have too many characters or we're just not sure which is the room name and which is the Habbo name! Therefore, here's some tips to make sure your room gets in there next time....
  • Make sure that it's clear which is your Habbo name and which is the room name.
  • Just ask for one specific room you own to be put in. Don't ask me to search your name.
  • Don't give me rooms that have complicated characters in them. I've seen some that start and end with small images like hearts and fish. While they look great, I can't put them in the room dropper. Normal characters (i.e. - $ £ * >) are fine.
  • Don't give room names that are too long.
  • Try and make your room name stand out. It may sound obvious but think about how many people have rooms called 'my room'. If it's going to make it into the newsie, you want to make sure you recognise it as yours.

GUEST REPORTER: Console Tips by Butterina

* ADDING PEOPLE *
+ If you want to add somebody, only send them one friend request. It can become very irritating recieving 15 requests from one person!
+ Think about how well you know the person about to be requested. If you are only requesting them because they are in Habbo Club, or they are Habbo Staff/Hobba, don't request them. The console is made for friends, and do you really think somebody will accept a friend request if you haven't even been on the same side of the room as them?!
+ Don't be disappointed if they don't accept your friend request - perhaps you just need to get to know them a bit more!

* ACCEPTING *
+ Before accepting a friend request, think about whether you know them enough or not. You don't want to block up your console!
+ Don't be afraid to reject!
+ Don't just accept because they are a Hobba/Staff or in HC.

* SAFETY *
+ Okay, so you have the Safety Fairy to keep you safe, but it's entirely up to you what you do on your console - if someone is cyber bullying you on the console, do the three R's - Reject, Remove & Report. Hobbas can spot cyber bullying in rooms, but your console is used as a form of private messaging so you'll need to be active and report them yourself.

* EXTRA TIPS *
+ If the console lags when there are alot of people in the hotel, don't weigh it down by sending a message to your friend who you messaged thirty minutes ago who has probably only just recieved the message!

POET'S CORNER: Three cool Funky Friday poems this week. They were all too good to miss. By spidaclo, .black and julexx (in that order).

An end of an era
Some might say,
Now Magic Mondays have gone away.
All the cool prizes
Mondays would bring
Are gone,
Along with that beautiful sound:
Ker-chinggg!
But alas, my crestfallen, cheeky, habbo monkey,
The magic's on Friday but ten times as FUNKY!

Funky Friday here to stay,
say goodbye to Magic Monday!
Ask phone owners if it's fine,
to ring the Funky Friday line.
Get 2 free credits with every call,
spend them at the furni Catalogue mall.
Cross your fingers,
cross your toes,
wish for luck,
see how it goes!

Funky Friday's coming,
I just can't wait!
I've heard the prizes will be bigger,
Better and great!
It's on every single Friday,
You just need one number to call,
Doesn't cost a pretty penny,
A few pence, that's all!
It'll be better than Magic Monday was,
If it's possible,
Want to win loads of furni?
You can win it all!
I nearly cried when Magic went,
But then I heard about this,
'Funky Friday!' I called out in joy,
'It's the comp no Habbo can miss!'

BRUSH UP

Instead of the Furni Chart - a quick word of advice from a Habbo named Safety. He says: "Treat your password like your toothbrush, Don't let anyone use it and change it every 6 months (or less!)." Wise words...

Also if you want to send in a poem, article, idea etc (published items get their authors a Typewriter), please email me.
