[h3]What are Fishing Derbies?[/h3][p]Fishing Derbies are competitive events where players fish at the same time, and anglers with the highest fish counts win. Whether you fish casually or go full sweat mode, all play styles are welcome.[/p][p]There are two types of Fishing Derbies in the Hotel:[/p]

• [p]Automated Fishing Derbies (automatic, Stamp rewards)[/p]
• [p]EC-Hosted Fishing Derbies (player-hosted, prizes include a Jade Gift Box, an EC Token and a Champion Trophy for the very best anglers.)[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]How do I join a Fishing Derby?[/h3][h3][/h3][p]When a derby is active:[/p]

1. [p]Watch for the Fishing Derby notification.[/p]
2. [p]During registration, click “Open Shop” on the Bob NPC in any fishing room.[/p]
3. [p]You’ll be registered automatically.[/p]
4. [p]Once the derby begins, fish in the allowed locations for that event.[/p]

[p]⚠️ Important:[/p][p]You MUST join during the registration period to participate.[/p][p]If you are not registered before the derby begins, your fishing will NOT count. You cannot join once the active derby has started.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Automated Fishing Derbies[/h3][p]Automated Fishing Derbies are automatic events available to all Habbos.[/p]

• [p]Frequency: Every 4.5 hours[/p]
• [p]Duration:[/p]
  • [p]10-minute registration[/p]
  • [p]15-minute active derby[/p]
• [p]Rewards: Stamps based on final placement and total number of derby participants[/p]

[p]Once the derby starts, fish as much as possible before time runs out. You’ll receive updates during the event and a final placement notification when it ends.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]EC-Hosted Fishing Derbies (Fishy Friday)[/h3][p]EC-Hosted Fishing Derbies are manually run by BobEC and other Event Creators, including the weekly Fishy Friday. Check the Bulletin for the next scheduled event derby.[/p]

• [p]Duration: Typically 30 minutes to 1 hour[/p]
• [p]Rewards:[/p]
  • [p]Top 3: Champion Trophy + Jade Giftbox[/p]
  • [p]Top 4–10: Jade Giftbox[/p]

[p]Check out the hosts instructions to see where you can fish for this specific derby. Once the derby starts, fish as much as possible before time runs out. You’ll receive updates during the event and a final placement notification when it ends. For anglers who place in a prize winning spot, prizes are delivered directly to your Habbo hand ASAP. Please be patient.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Where am I allowed to fish?[/h3][p]Fishing Derbies may take place in Public Rooms, Private Rooms, or both, depending on the event.[/p]

• [p]Automated Fishing Derbies: Fishing locations are set automatically. Always follow the in-game derby notification to know where to fish.[/p]
• [p]EC-Hosted Fishing Derbies (Prize Events): Allowed fishing locations will be clearly announced by the host before the derby begins.[/p]

[p]If you’re ever unsure where fishing is allowed, check the derby notification or ask the EC. Fish caught outside the approved locations will not count.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Derby Rules (EC-Hosted / Prize Derbies Only)[/h3][p]To keep prize derbies fair and fun:[/p]

• [p]One account per person (no alts)[/p]
• [p]Fish only in approved locations[/p]
• [p]Fishing Level 5+ Required for Private Room Derbies[/p]
• [p]No exploits or manipulation[/p]
• [p]Final results are verified before prizes are awarded[/p]

[p]Failure to follow these rules may result in fish not counting and may affect future participation.[/p][hr][/hr][p]I’m incredibly proud of how far the Fishing Derbies have come. What began as a small passion project has grown into something that is now part of the Hotel, and being able to offer both automated derbies and EC-hosted events means more to me than I can put into words. Seeing the community embrace them, compete together, and make memories around something I helped build is honestly one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had here. Thank you anglers and friends![/p][p]See you at Fishy Friday![/p][p]- BobEC[/p]

[p]Build a space where influence is traded quietly, fortunes are stored discreetly, and nothing important is ever discussed in public. So so and you could win a new badge and hammer trophy.[/p][p]🔴 IMPORTANT: You cannot use Imgur to submit your room builds. Please use Lightshot, ImgBB or X only. Imgur entries will not be counted.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]💼 Executive Affairs: Behind Closed Doors room competition![/h3][p]The Executive line arrived in the Hotel earlier this month, bringing with it polished desks, leather seating, and spaces designed for serious decision making. At the same time, Habloons have begun circulating. Gold ingots, coins, and displays of wealth that are never meant to be seen by just anyone.[/p][p]Your task is to design a room that captures what happens behind closed doors. A private boardroom where Hotel policy is shaped. A secure Habloon vault hidden beneath the surface. An executive office reserved for trusted insiders only. Whether your build is quiet and restrained or heavy with guarded wealth, it should feel intentional.[/p][p]Habloons are valuable and limited, especially for Club members, so thoughtful use will matter more than excess.[/p][p]Ideas to spark your imagination:[/p]

• [p]A private boardroom where major decisions are made.[/p]
• [p]An executive office overlooking the Hotel floor below.[/p]
• [p]A secure Habloon vault with controlled access.[/p]
• [p]A members only investment lounge or private club.[/p]
• [p]A discreet executive waiting area where nothing is accidental.[/p]

[h3]🧱 Rules and information to consider for the build[/h3][p]Theme: Executive spaces and private affairs. Controlled, deliberate, and refined.[/p][p]What we’ll be looking for while judging:[/p]

• [p]Strong and creative use of the Executive furni line.[/p]
• [p]Believable and restrained placement of Habloons.[/p]
• [p]Atmosphere and storytelling. Does the room feel important, private, and intentional?[/p]

[h3]⚠️ Further information and rules[/h3]

• [p]Scripting tools are not allowed. If you’re caught using them, you’ll be disqualified.[/p]
• [p]If you’re worried about your ideas being copied, feel free to keep your room locked or upload previews to Lightshot or ImgBB instead of X. Staff can still enter locked rooms.[/p]

[h3]📤 How to enter[/h3]

• [p]Name your room “Executive Affairs”.[/p]
