Better Dwell Idea: The Land Tax

hehehe i wish. there's no way in eHell i'd pay that much for land in a video game but if that was the irl price it would be nice to own a couple real sims.

In the end, it's a problem of information. There's not really enough data out there for us to be able to judge these things other than in the broadest ways.

An old topic for such a new user (me). In no way will I ever EVER pay taxes in SL, the day that happens is the day I never log in again. I come here to get away from real world bullchits, not to come here and have to pay taxes on things. Hell I hardly make enough money as it is. Its bad enough I'm forced to pay for things I don't want to pay for in real life, now you propose I do the same in my second life. I think not.

I actually LOL'd when I read this. Good one, Molec.

Dwell is so simple and I think it works well at is.

- Everyone get's a dwell point to give out per day.
- After you're in a plot for more than five minutes.. the clock starts ticking.
- At the end of the day, that point is split proportionally between each and every plot you've spent more than 5 minutes at.
- The total amout of money to distribute is then split proportionally between every plot based on the dwell sum they recieve.

The actual amount fluctuates because the total amount of dwell is not constant, depends on the logging in and out of the subscribers.

It think it is a very very good system. Can it be gamed? Yes. But what can't? And to game it, you either have to have more resources than what it's worth.. or have alot of people willing to contribute to your cause selflessly.

The dwell wipes are a bug.. and it can happen with any system in place if the platform is buggy.

I don't know why everyone flames the dwell system.

because it's there.
