Certainly got a point there

Certainly got a point there Miss Juu. What about:

Come in! Come in! Come in!
(We'll automatically deduct 199L$ from your balance. Each time you visit.)

Yeah, yeah. I know that is not possible (in any legit way) in SL. But the business model seems to work fine for on-demand television in Belgium! ;) Something along the lines of 'we have good stuff for you here, but must request a friendly donation for you to allow to see it and for us to allow to build it'? Better. It has less storyline to it than 'warning, warning, warning!' though.

Peter, a wrote a whole piece about 'has the LS another value, which is not linked to it's 'real' value/Dollar but which is higher', but deleted it, as I'm still not sure. Will get back to you on that later, when I made up my mind. ;) For now, I think that is true for a part of the grid, another part just thinks, ah, well, if I purchase x amount of LS, x amount of USD will be deducted from my balance/credit card/whatever. At a rate of 8 euro's to go see a movie or for a good bottle of wine - both 'entertainment' products, non-necessary, that's still cheap. It is also what you consider a necessity. Nothing is a necessity in virtual life, actually, as virtual life isn't one an se. Still we think of culture to be more important than the average person finds culture to be IRL. Would I pay 45000LS on lingerie in SL? Nope. IRL? Yes. Would I spend 5k LS on a gun in SL? Yes! IRL? Nah, not even when giving to me for free... Hmmm, and now I'm thinking & typing at the same time again... *shuts up until she made up her mind*
