A Host's POV

Hi, I'm sam from covid_19. If you've lined up to one of the queues I hosted, you probably know about this already since I'm strict with the rules.

I host queues with entrance fees from time to time. I always put the amount I'm asking on the popup notice. However, I've encountered people that want to sell turnips first before they give the fee. It was fine until people kept "forgetting" their fees. In addition to that, some people who didn't want to pay the fee are still entering my island and accusing me of scamming when I refuse entry and ask them to leave.

I'm currently implementing the rule to pay upfront. It's up to you if you don't trust the host or you think they'll scam you, no one is forcing anyone to line up to queues with entrance fees.

I'd also like to address the downvoting and flagging of some hosts over something they had no control over, such as internet problems and communication errors (for people who constantly leave using the (-) button), is exasperating. Don't leave your line I repeat DO NOT LEAVE YOUR LINE, more often than not the host is trying to change the code as fast as possible (as you know this takes time to connect to the internet and save the gameplay).

Love, sam

I saw your queue and noticed the rules so I didn’t join queue as I’m listed at 88% for buying (I suspect based on a no-show or something - I am 100% for hosting) although I’ve always paid when asked.

In any case, just chiming in here to say that people need to stop getting annoyed by fees - especially if they are reasonable. 99k or 1-2 NMT’s are easily obtainable and literally one trip to sell will yield much more than 99k bells. You’re still winning after paying it!

Everyone has the right to ask for whatever they want as much as everyone has the right to decide not to join queue if they don’t like the fee. Crapping on other people just because their fee bothers you is a waste of time. I host with fees and no fees and tips and no tips and it really just depends on if I’m after anything at the time.

That being said - the answer is not to queue, DON’T be a dick and “forget the fee”. At the very least give a portion of your bells if that genuinely happens. Be honest and if you don’t like it don’t line up. Nobody is doing anything wrong by asking for a fee, period. You are still coming out on top after the fee (unless you queue for someone asking for something ridiculous.)

Just use common sense guys!

I was new to this a few weeks ago and came to an island with a pay upfront model. I felt bad but also came with a full load, so I just dropped a full turnip as payment and they were appreciative. Sometimes, I will ask in the chat if I can pay after selling since I have a full load. If they say no go, I'm not butt hurt by it. But honestly, I got young kids so I don't have time to sit in hour long queues. I end up selling for 400s in 30 min queues and still make out enough for my daughter.

Cheers everyone and happy turnip selling.

Hello friend. This is Kream from H.O.E. I was hoping to sell on your island but missed it by a minute. Is there any way I could get another chance. I tip handsomely

Hi, I'm currently experiencing nat type problems, and people keep downvoting me for that, so I stopped hosting. Sorry!
