I am terribly sorry but I don’t recall the name of Pathfinder’s dance partner but I do wonder if she was not an alt of his. She was very quiet and I don’t recall her speaking at all. I have been over the chat log of that evening that I kept for posterity and certainly there are no clues there so whoever she was, she was not publicly whispering sweet nothings into his ear at all or he to her.

I do recall that he danced for all the time I was there with the same partner. My partner and I were there for nearly 2hrs in all.

Wow! A rare Pathfinder sighting! Good work, Nathan! And…who was *his* dance partner?!

Obscure, you’re right about the Positive Linden Flow stuff. It’s pre-tier. And after tier, it would be a lot less.

If you look at the charts there are only a few hundreds who might in the living wage range of $1000-$3000 or whatever.

The first and only time I ever saw Pathfinder Linden in world was just after the announcement of his promotion and move to Boston. My partner and I danced alongside him and his dance partner at The Blue Note. I managed to get the opportunity to congratulate him on his new position.

Profitability? There is no way to know with a private company. Also, never ever underestimate the capacity of any company’s management to recharacterize expenditures as “investment”. There are several ways to GAAP consistent camouflage expenditures as a category of R&D that is NOT called a “cost” and is thus not subtracted from the top line and leaves the bottom line looking better than it is.

Also, always look at Meta Linden’s footnote on her economics stats. Her numbers do not include payments to LL. There is some more gobbledygook there, but the phrasing has always suggested the count of all those successful avatars is before tier. Those PMLF success stories are almost certainly exaggerated — and frankly even exaggerated they don’t look too good.

21,000 avatars out of 7.2 million are making $10USD per month pre tier. A total of only about 40,000 avatars out of 7 million have a positive monthly cash flow of ANY magnitude — and people, THINK, there are 90,000 premiums who should be guaranteed positive cash flow if they simply didn’t squander money on tier. This is horrible economic performance. Even the 90,000 avatar count with guaranteed income (pre tier and pre monthly premium payment — which are excluded) can’t make money.

This is a game. It’s not an economy.

Today a search for casinos returned 131 matches. I thought about removing of the casino ads: “Made in the USA” which has become the meme of bad quality here.

But a surprising large proportion of the casinos reported 0 (zero) traffic. They desperately need a friend in money laundry business.

What comes to good observations about the economy, I don’t declare yet “Linden Lab was profitable” without checking the renting of private SIMs. I assume that they do not delete offensive SIMs faster than they rent.

And according to the rumours, LL has now encountered SIM owning griefers. What did they expect after their policy shift?

And they know very well the history of business competitor griefing in SL.

Glittercrotch, it’s spelled “voila.” A viola is a bowed stringed instrument.

I win the spelling bee.

Agent Thomas SLefferson, you are needed immediately at Linden Lab to investigate the disappearance of certain Lindens. Important or no, if you find them partying in Mexico, commence slapping.

or else they let them sit in Ginkos for ages building their retirement nest eggs, for that day in the golden future that they migrate to Raph Koster’s Areae

LOL. 2 bucks a week! Watta nest egg!
