Well, actually, I'm not cheap at all and will tip performers whenever I hear them play, I always have. However, to do that you must have some jingle in your pocket and that's when Performer Mathematics comes into it. If you want to give away more tips in a week than you make in your own gigs then you will either have to become a politician or change the way money works.
Each week I'll go to six to eight shows at the MusikCircus. At $250L per show, that could easily be $2000L per week. I don't make that so I have two choices: tip only some of the MusikCircus performers and play favorites or don't tip any. Obviously some are better than others but I won't make any distinctions of that nature in what I write and I won't do it in how I tip so my answer is don't tip at all.
This is not a complaint about what I make in there. I'm playing exactly where I want to play and I play for the people for whom I most want to do it, most particularly Cat. No-one understands freeform like she does, in or out of SL, and she finds people who want that too. It's not hyperbole that Cat's Art MusikCircus is different, it really is.
I just wanted to write this one to let people know there is nothing personal in any change to my tipping habits. It is not a review or a criticism.
