How the hell do you tip a person who is not a model?Some people are "special".
Members can transfer tokens to other members though.
Yeah, but such tokens can then only be spent on a model... Unless it's a model pming from a member account who then turns around and tips herself...
I have transferred tokens to another member account several times before. Always as a gift, not expecting to ever get anything back. I have done this having known the member a bit and I realize they are in the condition I am usually in - without tokens and wishing they could contribute to the room. In every case they spent the tokens in that room, which is what I would have done anyway. And I enjoy doing this almost as much, or more than giving them to the model, because the member is not expecting it.
For the most part I have not been reimbursed for this, but as I said I never expect that. Nor do I feel any different about the member if they are not able return the favor.
I only get money once a month, and try to keep some tokens as long as possible in my primary account. I do this because I use tip notes as my way of communicating with the model things that are not appropriate for public chat. I don't find there is ever much that I can't say in public chat, but rather than use PM for the few things I want to say privately I send them in a tip note.
Just recently I had ran out of tokens and wanted to say something to a model, but decided to just let it go rather than PM. Just then I looked down and I had 30 tokens. At first I thought it was a glitch in mfc, but almost immediately I realized that a member who had just left the room was the same member who I had a month before given 30 tokens to for a drawing the model was having that night. I had almost forgotten about it. I had been in the same room many times since with this member, but he returned the favor just at the right time. It was a nice surprise, and just as unexpected as when I transferred to him. I later found a mfc mail that confirmed the transfer from this member.
I like that mfc does not charge to transfer tokens. It is how it should be, but would not be out of the norm if they did.
I realize this post so far has strayed from the topic, so let me get to that part.
One of the transfers I made to a member was after the member (lets call him member1) had corrected a douche bag (lets call him douchmember) that was being rude, borderline ban rude. Member1 was the room monitor for this room and was correct to say something. Douchemember told member1 that he needed to shut up because he wasn't worth as much as he (douchemember) was until he started tipping. This was corrected by more than one of the regular members in the room, letting Douchemember know that member1 was a friend and not to be rude to him.
Later after douchemember had gone one of the regular members poked fun at member1 about never tipping. It was meant as a joke and everyone knew this, but even so I thought it would be nice if member1 could sorta say, "in your face", so I transferred 100 tokens to his account. I later received a long letter from member1 thanking me for the transfer. It was clear that this meant way more to him than it would have meant to the model, and it therefor was a more enjoyable use of those tokens for me. The tokens were spent in that models room, much to the surprise of some of the regulars I think, so in the end everyone won.
