Yellow walls can be part of a solution if the countdown is down to 300 or 400 and the room is quiet. Its better if a member is encouraging the other members to help the model get the countdown done. I may do a series of 5 or 10 tokens and then someone else jumps in. Before you know it, I've seen 50, 100 or 150 appear and the countdown is over. Games are a lot more fun though if the tippers are actively involved.
That just goes to show the varying opinions out there. If this works for you, great. Nothing irritates me more than members telling the room to tip, including spamming those giant "yellow wall" emotes.

If you mean encouraging by "leading by example", I agree. I'll do that myself on occasion ;)
I can def say that's what MD meant. He didn't even know how to post emotes before last week. :p
I think yellow walls can help over countdowns because it encourages little tips. Some guys may only have 5tkns left in their account. When the countdowns 400 they might not think it will help and hold off, but when they see everyone doing 5tkn tips for a yellow wall, they might join in.
I agree on the emotes. Nothing's more embarrassing than someone posting a yellow wall emote then no one tipping. It's even worse when they keep posting it.
 
the yellow wall comments brought to mind a model I happened upon the other day... room of over 100. I hadnt noticed her before but she was by no means a new girl online. She said 'I need a yellow wall guys. I haven't had one this week yet.' I was gonna try to break the bubble and pulled up the tip window. loaded it and.. "xxx is not accepting tips below 20 tokens". Excuse me.... WTF and who the hell made you so self important ? She got 3-4 but that was the extent of her wall.... you can get a dump truck full of nickles and have a good time OR you can wait for someone to hand you folding money and hope you dont starve. 'Next.'

Yeah, if models want yellow walls, get rid of your minimum tip setting.

I used the term encouraging because I don't see myself as leading anything, I've always follow. When it comes to your room, I guess I do lead by example. Before last week, I thought an emote was this :) :p, LOL, LMAO, etc. In fact tonight in an empty chat room, I was able to post my first (and last) yellow wall emote. I will continue to lead by example only and see what happens. Thank you for showing me how to your emote banners. The next step is to learn how to use a timer. Is that an emote too?
 
Re: yellow walls

I don't think of a yellow wall as a tool to finish a countdown (frankly, I don't much like countdowns, although I do understand why they're used). I see them more as an event: a display of affection for the model by her people. I enjoy yellow walls of that sort and will generally participate in them. If the person calling for one (or just starting off with a modest tip which can be followed easily) is someone I know as a frequent tipper, I'll often jump in and often others do too. It's gratifying to see the pleasure on a model's face when this happens. If the model calls for it herself (pretty much never happens in the rooms where I'm a regular) or if it's some guy who's not willing to start with a tip himself, then I usually don't join in. Really, I think of it as a spontaneous show of approval rather than a tool.
 
tried playing a game tonight - spin the vibe.. I made a little spinner board with different possibilities (wildcard, splits, do a shot, flash, take some clothes off etc), and set my topic to 69tkns for a spin. I used a cute little purple vibe I have.

Stayed on for an hour and 15 mins, got one spin -_-

I'm thinking/hoping some of it is the time of day. Seems like laaaate late shifts might get busier traffic than this time of night (I started at 6:45pm EST and logged off at 8pm EST). I was playing music, wearing a cute little outfit with cleavage, smiling, answer questions, making chit chat...

*sigh*

While I totally get what you're talking about, a situation where I'll call for a yellow wall to finish a count down might be like tonight - i had 90 tokens to finish and 90 prems in the room.
"ONE TOKEN YELLOW WALL TO FINISH THE COUNT GUYYYZ???" more or less was what i said.


I've used them for encore shows - where I'm done with the first show and really want to keep goin without having to restart a countdown. I'll tell them if they make it rain, I will do an encore.. smaller yellow wall tips can be just the ticket to chipping a way at a large # of tokens as they encourage smaller tippers and dont leave the 'whales' to do it all

I think the push for models only rogue, is simply that many models dont feel comfortable sharing their tricks of the trade etc outside of models only.

Oh, I get that, I totally do. In fact I think I addressed that in my first post. I just think sometimes the reaction is somewhat knee-jerk.

Many times I think the suggestion is spot on, as I can see where members would have nothing to add. Other times, really?

Just an observation. This time (maybe the only time) not trying to stir the pot.

I have no idea about your room dynamic, but 69 tokens a spin seems a bit high. Better to get 20 spins at 25 tokens each than one spin at 69.

Yeah I'm wondering that too. In my mind I was thinking - well, $3 isn't a lot of money per spin,and 69 is a fun number.

I'll try it again with lower tokens sometime.
