do you feel that the amount you tip has a specific message attached to it?
This is what I think I am saying with tips:
10 credits in open chat - I'm not really listening or watching...
10 credits when leaving - okay, okay, leave me alone, I am out
10 credits in group chat- not really what I thought it would be
10 credits in party chat- is that enough to keep the party going?
25 credits in open chat - you're cute, keep talking
25 credits when leaving - that was nice, I'll be back
25 credits in group chat- not bad at all
25 credits in party chat- can I see that again?
50 credits in open chat - let's get str8 to business
50 credits when leaving - don't you forget about me
50 credits in group chat- impressive!
50 credits in party chat- IIIIII'm coming up so you better get this party started!
100 credits in open chat - if I impress you, what will I get back ;)?
100 credits when leaving - had a great time, will be back for more
100 credits in group chat- VERY special request :D
100 credits in party chat- Let this party never end
250 credits in open chat - I owe you, thanks
250 credits when leaving - BIG TIME, thanks so much
250 credits in group chat- overachiever! I didn't expect that!
250 credits in party chat- I am having SO MUCH FUN!
... feel free to add your ideas to that . I am curious to see what you think or can come up with . Quote

Your summary reflects your mood based on your capability to tip.
The highth of the tip is related to how much credits one can spend. For some 50 credits is a huge tip, for others a 500 credit tip or tip flood is the amount to show how much fun they have.
That is certainly something the model needs to take into account to judge what flirt language is behind the tip. This means that the model needs to know his customers very well. But i think most of them do a good job at that (perhaps helped by some tools that tell them a bit more of the history between them and the customer ?).
Just my opinion on this.But i think it's fair to say that there is a certain secret flirt language behind the tipping and that your summary comes very close to the truth. Quote

Buffalobill is quite right. We all have different budgets. So the "secret language" implied by the tip amount will vary from member to member. Your list seems like a good summary, relatively speaking (1x, 5x, 10x etc)
In party chats I am very much influenced by the tips that others are giving. I usually give 25 credit tips, and will always do so when others give 25 credit tips (or more). If others are giving 10 credit tips, I will usually give 10 credit tips.
I often feel like giving 50 or 100 credit party tips. However, bigger tips can discourage others from tipping and send out a message that one member is happy to pay for the party.
Having said that, it is always great to see generous members giving 1,000 credit tips and tip floods to a favourite performer. I have seen one member give 50,000 credits in tips in a single party. Amazing guys like that contribute so much to the site, and everyone benefits.

For a group show it is more simple, i just look at the show that has been given, and if i'm pleased i give a small tip on top of the amount i pledged. It is nice to see that other people follow that move, but you are never sure they do it because you tipped too or if they would have done it themselves. Sometimes i wait for the tip untill we're back in the open room.
Party chat is a good instrument to go really wild with tipping. Start off low and look who is jumping in. And if the show gets wilder (is advanced more), then the time is right for a big tip or tip floods.
I really love tip floods, just wish they wouldn't be so expensive, allthough you can do them from 250 credits. But it's nice to see a room being flooded by tip floods. It's boosting the model and the members at the same time and if enough people join in with doing that, a show can get get to a climax that reaches higher than everyone expected.
And it's true that other members present in the room don't join because others are doing it, but it's a thing i don't wanna think too much about, as long as i am having fun. Quote
I feel I am kind of all over the board when it comes to tipping though I do have what you might say is a protocol I follow unless whim takes over. LOL
If a model gives me their time to chat while I am visiting, then I will tip. Please don't whisper me when I enter a room unless you know me, just tells me you are ignoring the rest of the chat instead of enjoying the company.
I do enjoy a good Party chat, as Chris knows, let's have some fun. I will help with tip goals, send small tips to get other party goers involved. All tip sizes matter, whether 10 credit or 100,000 credits. Oh, if the model surprises me with something I like then whim takes over. It could be my favorite songs, clothing, or dancing.
Group shows to me are exclusive parties, you need to pledge to get in. If I know the model does a great group show I will help them meet the pledge goal the best I can.
I am sure others have their own protocol, all in all we are sharing some good times so let's all have some fun. Quote

I like small tip targets of a few hundred to thousand credits that I can reach myself (in case nobody else contributes) in a few days of 50 crds each day. Whenever I find a new performer with a tip target of up to 250 credits I might just fill it up and say "welcome" this way.
Oh, if the model surprises me with something I like then whim takes over. It could be my favorite songs, clothing, or dancing. It is small gestures that make this a great site! And it is after all a give and take. I like to be surprised with something personal and individual.
What can we do in return?! Quote

I do take a quick look every now and then and give my own surprises by hitting the tip target or sending a small gift to say I haven't forgotten you.

We had the Halloween Pumpkins this time, Valentine Candy Hearts 6 months ago and there's been so many events in between with their special "Flash me", "Kiss me", "Nice Ass" messages on fireworks, shamrocks etc. etc.
They offer a different way of interacting with a performer that I like a lot. Just like emojis you can use those to flirt and send a request with them: "Tease me" (blushing) or "Bend over" (buttspank) .
However, I have to admit, this is always a time I feel bad for being a VIP ... lots of models don't know we pay only 40 credits for those special tips ... .
Also, I feel bad for all the new performers, especially those starting during the last months of the year. With FOTY and Halloween, there has been hardly any traffic in newbies' rooms.
So, go, spread some love to those who shouldn't think we don't notice them at all . Quote

I like that too, Chris
After tipping with the "Bend Over" (pumpkin) it was nice to tip with the "Nice Ass" (pumpkin) afterwards
I would be surprised if any performers are bothered that some of us paid 40 credits rather than 50 credits for the pumpkins. I think it is good to give any kind of tip at a time when so many people have been giving free votes (Halloween costume as well as FOTY)... Quote

With that in mind, I don't like that they make similar sounds as the tips for the ohmibod users ...
It's a free treat for those who like that. Quote

I think it's a bit dangerous to confuse the amount with the intended message. This was in 2016 so some leniency should be granted.
Now we have shields. It a 00 tips anything, it's meaningful. It's a mid-level shield tips 10 or 25 it's "I like" if a 800 or 900 tips something, it's definitely an opportunity.
I think the shield system has changed some things, including what tips mean.
In any case, someone could be rolling in credits or very low, so the fact that they're tipping means that they shouldn't feel intimidated in a a big fish comes in and tips 1,000 credits and you're only tipping 10 and maybe want to tip 50 for a request.
That's what shouldn't be forgotten. Quote

Thanks! Yes, this old little post was intended to spark anything between a silly and a serious discussion. 'cause I believe we cannot talk often enough about the fact that in the end, it's the tips (private shows etc.) that count for a performer no matter if you are having a great time just talking and looking.
Indeed, this was before we all had levels and a status and new ways to earn points.
I think the shield system has changed some things, including what tips mean.
I totally agree, when it was introduced, I refused to even show my level :D
... over time you earn your status, but that doesn't mean you are a big tipper ... Quote
