You can only have up to 171 friends in SL.

If your base stipend is 500, assuming 30 days a month and 7 days a week... You can only continuously triple-rate 171 people with it. Interesting

Wow. Looks like I'm gonna be able to save a packet!

*lifts one hand. starts to counts friends on fingers*

I better be on that hand missy!

Well, according to the Kritter herself, there's only three people she cares about and apparently I'm not one of them

*ahem*

If you're going to quote my private text conversations with you, get the quote right!

I actually said : "too many people care what other people think. I absolutely dont care what anyone thinks, with about 3 exceptions who I'd be kinda upset if they called me an asshat or whatever."

So no, not 3 people I care about. 3 people I care about their opinion of me

She doesn't care what I think, cos she knows she can take me :/

*purr*

Oh wait, you meant like, in a fight? aww. I'd never beat you. Not unless you wanted me to

Eggy doesn't count, because he could just script a friend.

Kris however, she just attracts them.

Triple rating would assume all 171 of your friends deserve a building rating

Given that I have been here for almost two years, I'd say that most of my friends deserve to be rated for building several times over

Damn, I've been outed. Do scripts have privacy rights under the ToS?

there is no truth to that rumor that kris scripted me.

thus sayeth the:

Marilyn

well i didnt script you to out me like that! darned adaptive AI. Get back in your box!

171 friends, x 20 minutes a week talking to each, since they're my friends = 3420 minutes a week = 57 hours a week = just under 10 hours a day just talking with friends to keep up a relationship.

Man, that's a lot of friends!

a) Real friends don't need to talk to each other every day or week, or month even. If I take a few months off to play RL instead, will you all forget me? It didnt happen the last couple of times I did it, wont happen the next one
b) People have been known to play SL for 16 hours a day

re (a) who the fuck are you anyway?

re (b) 16? pah! thats noffin. I used to play for 36 hours straight at times. Course, thats when I could stay in for more than a few minutes at a time, could tp, cross sim borders and the Lindens would occasionally answer bug reports.

Oh, just a shit licking clubber

Pfft. Go rez a plywood cube, biatch! Do your bit for Second Life, ffs!

Actually Eggy with the new system you forgot to ammortize it out over 6 months so in all actuality you can only have 1026 Friends as at the end of 6 months you have to start readdressinng their rates again.

I'm confused - aren't the ratings still going to cost L$25?

Let's say you get paid 4xL$500 for 4 weeks = L$2000

you can single rate 80 people, or
you can double rate 40 people, or
you can triple rate 26 people and double rate one person

I don't understand where the 171 triple rates come from.

It's that damned new math *puts tinfoil hat on*

Ok let me go over it again.
Ratings take 6 months to disappear. They cost 75 for a triple.
A month is 30 days. Hence 6 months are 180 days.
A week is 7 days. You make 500 per week, so 71.42857142857143 L$ per day.
In 180 days you make 12857.14285714286 L$.
This means that in a period of 6 months you can issue 171.4285714285714 triple ratings.
Did I get any math wrong here?

No, didn't mean to annoy you.
I just read your original post meaning that you could rate 171 people in one month.

I'm not annoyed!
I just wanted to sort this thing out.

My apologies Eggy I misinterpreted your intial post thinking it said 171 per Month...so your right on the basis of the 500$ per week stipend thing My bad.
