Yes, folks, it's Tuesday, and since I haven't seen hide nor hair of the stipend beastie yet, I figured I'd ask in the long standing tradition of Tuesdays in RA if anyone else has seen the wee beastie? Even though I know full well it's not Wednesday yet and that it can sometimes take 24 hours for these things to occur, I post this in honor of tradition (and curiosity)!

For the past month or two it seems I had been getting mine at around 2:00am. I also haven't had my classified money come out. I usually have one come out on Monday and the other ad on Tuesday, neither was taken out so I'll have to log in this evening when I get home and make sure I still have my ads.

Have to keep up with tradition.
Hmmmmmm... "Fiddler On The Roof" comes to mind. Nope! Haven't gotten mine yet either, but then it's only 5 hours past the time have been getting it lately. _____________________

Neat, I was starting to get complacent with the stipends being so regular again. Is it wrong that I was missing the weekly Where's My Stipend thread?
Add my voice to the chorus, no stipend yet, but no group land liabilities yet either. I blame 1.19. -Atashi _____________________

This marks the first week ever that I did not receive my stipend at around 1am Tuesday morning. Still no sign of it.

No stipend for myself and for my alt. Since the last bout with late stipends a couple/few months ago, they've been coming regularly before I'm even awake in RL (about 6 a.m. EST). Nothing so far today. I also haven't been charged group liabilities nor for my classified. I would probably be more upset if they had been charged and I (we) hadn't received our stipend yet.
I was kind of hoping someone else was in the same boat and would start a "where's my stipend thread" so I would know I wasn't the only one. Thanks, Raudf!  _____________________

From the blog:
The script that runs our stipend and group payout calculations is a few hours behind it’s usual time. It is running now, and we expect the process to be finished within the next few hours. Thank you for your patience! _____________________

What I find amusing is the tone of this post. As if the SL system with its scripts and processes is apparently completely autonomous. One of the scripts decided it was in a recalcitrant mood and unexpectedly ran a few hours later than normal... _____________________

On an good note, I finally got my stipend. _____________________

The UPDATE in the Blog is "interesting". LL's priorities are clear.
Their numbers are numero uno. Your money can wait. Selling group land in order to buy other land? Tough! Just pray that the other land is still available by the time that LL get around to the group payouts. There has always been a predictable delay, but this new 'policy' is going to give rise to a new RA Trafidion. Alternatively, have one group member buy the land for L$0 and sell to the market. That member would have to withdraw their tier, and perhaps increase their tier level in order to cover the metres. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stipends and group payouts late Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 at 10:29 AM PST by: Lotte Linden The script that runs our stipend and group payout calculations is a few hours behind it’s usual time. It is running now, and we expect the process to be finished within the next hours. Thank you for your patience! [UPDATE @ 5:30pm] To avoid putting undue load on the central databases during peak concurrency we delayed the catch-up runs until later in the day. Group payouts have completed, and the stipend payouts are in progress now. This should complete in 3-4 hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "To avoid putting undue load on the central databases during peak concurrency" Back near the start of the year, when the then max concurrency was causing huge lag and slowdowns, LL blogged that they would throttle signups and logins during "peak concurrency". They never actually did that (intentionally) to my knowledge. |
