I'm gonna blow it all on Boone's Farm , Pop Rocks and orange Pez. Which flavor of Boone's Farm? The choice when I was growing up was Strawberry Hill (a taste treat that I never experienced, I liked beer  )_____________________

A bag of weed and a BIG Mountain Dew, then I'll stream in some Pink Floyd and hope my legs go numb.

Haha! people used to horde prims back before they added prim allotments, when it was a free for all. People actually had 100's if not 1000's of prims hidden in the ground under their homes and so on. _____________________

My linden balance is great enough that I don't notice getting my little 50 linden a week stipend.

If I had like 5 alts that would mean I would be making L$2500 a week. And yeah that's a dismal quantity of real money I can make selling lemonade for 5 minutes on any college campus. (Unless you are including income from your paid accounts as well.) I am not familiar with the profitabity of lemonade stands on college campuses. _____________________

Because there were 10,000 prims per sim, and they were just there for the taking (was no tier back then - just a flat monthly rate of 15$), IF your sim had prims available in it. What people would do is rez out stacks of cubes (usually in the ground or under a house) to serve as placeholders for possible future use - it was looked down upon by LL and many residents. It wasn't fair to people who bought land in the sim and then couldn't build there because other people were banking prims. _____________________

My premium kickback (it's not a stipend if I'm paying for it!) is nice, but it's the amazing L$8/day dwell bonus I get that brings in the MAD CASH.
I plan to spend it all texturing bottles of beer and then drinking them. _____________________

I'm haveing a hard time understanding why LL allowed this as part of SL in the first place. Kind of like traffic, DI, avi ratings, etc. Any global value will be collected or "gamed" just because it holds some value to someone. So why put those into the system in the first place? I just don't get it. But that one is just funny. *Unless they want to cause controversy.   _____________________

Maybe it's sinus pressure from endless clouds of pollen from cedar trees in Texas, or maybe things just suck, or maybe because I have been complaining about the people who complain in the forums, maybe that 75 dollar lot maintenance fee is starting to bug me.... either way everything just sucks in SL. No, really, everything sucks linden dollars. To upload, I have to pay, to take a picture I have to pay, to list my lot in FIND, I have to pay, to post a classified I have to pay and to be even in the first half of the classifieds list, I have to pay a LOT more. PAY PAY PAY PAY.... All of this is happening while Dwell is being taken away, bonuses are non-existent, voting for places has been taken away. If you're a builder and what you build is well buildings and you're not intending to sell them -- you're pretty much screwed. I am sorry, I don't want to design shoes; I am not interested in creating bling for bling crazy blingtards, I have no interest in pixel pushing in SL(since I do it in RL) to make mindless quantities of dresses for the slutty escorts brigade. I am tired of rude people that were not here 2 years go -- where did they come from? I am tired of everyone thinking that they can build just because they can link 4 prims and place a llROT script on them. The only people getting by without paying anything are the ALTS people have and those are no good after you've successfully purchased a First land, and then sold it back to your own real Avatar. I guess time to get another ALT account huh. And I still do not understand why the free members are getting a stipend. If I had like 5 alts that would mean I would be making L$2500 a week. And yeah that's a dismal quantity of real money I can make selling lemonade for 5 minutes on any college campus. So yeah, everything sucks. It all sucks. It's all a blackhole worth of suction power packed into a handful of sims. I wonder how much liquor you could get for $75 a month.... would it keep me more entertained than all of this? I wonder... Troy I hear ya loud and clear, there's alot wrong with SL. But 90% of is stuff that LL either can't, or won't control, so all we can do is complain about it to get it off our chests, then get back to doing whatever it is we do in SL. As for what to do with my 500L... hmm... I'll prolly load it into my Tommy Bling and shoot it at unsuspecting newbies in the sandboxes. Thanks for that little toy Sprite Quartermass. :3 |

Newbie Basic Stipends
03-01-2006 03:58
I have talked with three new residents so far in the past five days and none of them are getting the basic 50 lindens a week stipends and they are on daily. What gives? Maybe this makes the banker happy.

Maybe this makes the banker happy. Hmmm. Some weeks ago, someone noticed that the $50 was no longer listed on the page that shows the benefits for the different membership plans. Do you suppose they quietly stopped this for new residents? coco _____________________

Thanks for that little toy Sprite Quartermass. :3 Lex's bling-guns are always so much fun. Sadly I actually got a twit threatening to AR me for shooting him with money a few months ago so eh-heh... sometimes you cant even give away your lindens with out some idiocy seeping in. You'd think they would've noticed their linden's increasing or the little blue screen going 'hey you, you gots money!' but there you are. ^.^; An yes Sprite n' Lex the rest of Squidsoft are all about the newbie <3 ^.^ |
