When I first saw this, my first thought was that gee.. they were suppost to.. how did someone miss the announcement and debates.. But then I went back and found the original announcements and found this quote from Philip:

+ A 50% reduction in the bonus amounts paid out as weekly 'Stipend Ratings'

I kept looking yes, Robin's post said weekly as well. There was no mention of the Total Ratings Bonus being cut that I could find. If I missed it, please let me know!

I then checked my accounts... sure enough.. both Weekly and Total were chopped in half. So... ummm... according to the announcements, someone boo booed. Which is it? Were BOTH bonuses meant to be cut and the announcement was wrong or just Weekly and someone boo booed and set it to both?

Eh? Wasnt it damn well supposed to? What was all the drama about in the past couple weeks, then? You all been living in albania or something?

I think they are talking about getting one amount yesterday, then having that amount get cut.

And pie.

For the benefit of Albanians and Portugese:

lam·poon n.
2. A light, good-humored satire.

pie n.
1. A baked food composed of a pastry shell filled with fruit, meat, cheese, or other ingredients, and usually covered with a pastry crust.

Love ya, Eggy

I took it as "weekly bonuses" being halved.

There are 2 bonuses, you get them both every week, so weekly, so halved.

Never mind that they are for overall ratings and change in ratings that week. Which I guess is now called Delta.

I would like to have Linden clarification on this, please.

Thank you graciously as always.

That would make sense.

I think this thread may have been started with good intentions, but has spiraled into Off-Topicland, so I'm moving it over there.

Did anyone notice their weekly bouns halved?
