Yesterday's Money: 25th October

Yesterday in Second Life we:

Spent US$987,000 at an exchange rate of L$267.3 to US$1
Exchanged US$194,000 at an average of US$8,100.0 per hour.
Market buys were US$152,000
Market sales were US$42,000
Limit-limit buys were US$200
The busiest time was at 10am when about US$12,000 was exchanged.
The quietest time was 12pm when about US$5,000 was exchanged.

It looks a bit like "normal" folk stayed away from SL yesterday because of CSI:NY since there were no other obvious differences/difficulties on the day.

1. "It looks a bit like "normal" folk stayed away from SL yesterday because of CSI:NY since there were no other obvious differences/difficulties on the day."

How about correcting the above as:
"It looks a bit like "CSI-fan" folk stayed away from SL yesterday because there were no other obvious differences/difficulties on the day."

Except if you seriously believe that the economy/money will remain stable if, e.g., 1/3 of the "normal folks" stay away from SL and replaced by CSI *newbies* with no money to spend.

2. Your comment makes no sense Alex, or rather it finally simply reiterates the point I was already making. The economy did take a down turn yesterday - just check back over the previous few days for transactions and LindeX trading.

I offer the explanation that this is because the "normal" folk stayed away, on the basis of a surge of expected CSI-fans. Implicit in that is the expectation that they would not spend money, purchase on LindeX etc. in the same pattern as regular users, at least not last night.

Obviously that was too subtle for some people - so thank you for spelling it out.

3. /me grins "Regular SLers are far from 'Normal' in my opinion".

The rate looks lower, 267? This is the figure that jumps at my eyes.

Have the Lindens offered any word on the $0 7ams yet?
