This would be equivalent to like, an Activities Fee. I love it. I'm totally down with the idea.

Nope.. but not because I give a hoot about the stipend - just that I think the events atm are for the most part a waste of time. Siggy. waste of time for whom? If they were just a waste of time there wouldn't be people attending them... TV is a waste of time, we still watch, sitting on a computer playing a game is a waste of time but we still play it... there are alot of things that are a waste of time, but we still do it. _____________________

if the ratings has to be increased I say do it to about 5, 25 is asinine, then people will still have cash to make off the stipend because people will still be rating, and it should go out to all events, I would glady donate some of my cash to support that. many left There to avoid this kind of thing... its not the wisest choice I feel you could have made, but your game...
just glad I can still voice an opinion and be listened to (I hope) |

Talen I think hosting events is hard work, its not welfare or free money, for a good event it takes time, money and patience. Why can't LL slice supprt instead of stop it... how about take away the $250 for the host and leave the $500 available for prizes? Think outside the box...why do you need it? You make quality merchandise as do other merchants at LeCadre.....give away prizes. Misty used to give away prizes all the time and people loved it...yes she gave away money too but the prizes people clammored for. People are going to use the money you give away to buy something...wouldn't it make more sense and be better advertisement if you gave prizes away? Just remembered everyone wanted to win that damn VW convertible she had....she must have given easily hundreds of them out and still people cheered when she gave one away. |

i vote no. I dont think this would be a good idea. I dont feel its right for every one to have to take a cut for something they may or may not use. I mean not every one goes to events some sit in the sand box and build to there hearts content. Why should they be effected by people who are crying becuse they might actually have to throw quality type events to draw people in.... instead of just offer ungodly amounts of money.
i think the cuts will make events become better. people will go to places and give dwell to the places they like best not who can put the most in there poket book. I actually blame the clubs for the massive inflation... i read a post by Jenna Fairplay a couple mounths back she was talking about new players comeing in buying lindens and throwing it around... that is exactly what the clubs are doing they buy 30k lindens a week then give it away to the new players and old players cuaseing a inflation becuse money is not locked up as much as it was. /130/fe/27272/1.html this to me is a nessisary evil. I for one am happy to see these new changes comeing in. Kudos to the Lindens for reconizing a problem and trying to fix it! |

You think lag is bad now in Clubs, even if the few Rich are generous, what few Clubs that are left will be so overpacked no one will be able to dance or move; much less get into the Sim. Which would lead to noone going to clubs, which would lead to no more clubs.. Which would lead to paradise. _____________________

Talen its not about ME. there are other people that only host events and do not create... what about trivia? Bingo? There are alot of other events, and yes Misty did give alot away in which all was donated to her, she doesnt create, she HOSTS. _____________________

Just answered your own question...if there is a host that doesn't create ....get people to donate...I have donated and would again. As for bingo charge a ten linden fee and that covers the pot.....Bingo in real life works that way I would think it would work here too |

For me - which is what that poll is about... would *I* part with my bonus if it meant supporting events. If there were some events I found even remotely interesting anymore my opinion may change - but as it is currently -- no I wouldn't. Siggy. _____________________

come on guyz use logic
01-11-2005 19:14
If I give 100l of my money out I'm still going even deeper into -cash .... what should be said here is ..... Hey I've made a ton of money I'll fund all of my own events. I for one am pissed at losing money and now you want more of my measly wkly income. Come on guyz .... where are the rich that can easily help us ..... let them give to us .... I being 1 mnth old can't lose anymore than I am. Just use logic .... taking more from the newbs is not the answer.

I have better things to do...SL isnt all about living off the welfare and events for dwell and rate mining. lmfao yeah i have better things to do too, hosting event and have fun doing it is probably something you have never experienced ... and i have to agree with sens its not an easy job and as i said when i started SL thats what actually helped me make SOME sort of money .. i dont know what you do build,script or w/e not everyone is able to do it yes im learning to make stuff but thats because i want to learn and i think hosting an event... thers NOTHING wrong with it ... honestly what i noticed the people who really dont give a damn are prolly the people who never hosted in events for as ong as they play dont even have a clue how hard it can be .... and again its my word against yours.. i just think its the right thing to do and you have all the rights in the world not to agree but u obviously dont see it from the same view as half the people who host(ed) events do... and think about the noobies for a second .. how are THEY supposed to earn it if thers no prizes or support |

I've already stated ways of doing it. There are good events and there are bad events but events arent hard to host. |
