The Data Challenge: Uhura would like to know if you can laugh without smiling for a full 10 seconds. Try doing it in front of the mirror or a friend, and then be sure to let her know the results.

Hobbies:

I have a large Xbox360 library but rarely find a reason to turn on my XboxOne. I play multiplayer FPS games for the people, but enjoy my alone time too.
I consider myself a solid chess player. I'm a fan of the Alekhine, English, French, and Sicilian openings. I may open with K and Q-pawns in standard chess, but revert to hypermodern tactics in bullet.
I'm also pretty good at Scrabble-type word games. As well as Blackjack, and various card games like Gin and Spades. |

MFC Chess: Let me know if you'd like to play.
* Saya plays chess on cam but cleverly masks her skill level.
* Kelly loves the game but doesn't own a good board yet.
MFC Blackjack:
|
* Alise is always up for a BJ. She plays for 50 tk per hand. Her players accumulate wins to unlock photo galleries and earn Skype time.

Penny was my first video, my first snapchat, the first to whisper softly in my ear, and the first on MFC to call me friend when I really needed one.
She always made me feel welcome in her room even though I never had a dime to my name. And we connected on a personal level as friends who just needed someone to talk to instead of flirt with.
Money's always been tight, but I took the last Christmas bonus I ever earned to buy a spot on her Pen Pals list just so she'd know she had a real friend on it. (And the memory of watching you fall against the chalkboard in shock and surprise always brings a smile to my face.)
I love you and I miss you Penny. Thank you for letting me be a part of your MFC life.

Making a Difference:
Sarianna was the first to make me see that MFC could be used to make a real difference in people's lives . . . and Nikki was the first to make me believe I had done so.
* Nikki is caring for an infant with a disability. She's very sweet and currently doing an MFC marathon to offset the cost of her daughter's cochlear implant surgery.
* Sarianna donated 30% of her April MFC earnings to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. She's also growing her hair to eventually donate to Locks of Love.
Turn Ons/Offs:
A soft whisper drawing me toward you ... A tender look as our eyes meet for the first time ... Your delicate caress upon my skin ... And the quiet serenade of your voice singing only for me.

I have a weakness for whispers, singing, and certain accents.
There will be many days when I don't have any tokens. I only restock them when I have cash in hand for a giftcard, and then spend them quickly on friends.
I understand that your time is valuable and won't ever make demands or be disrespectful. So please understand that mine is valuable too and refrain from making token demands. Thank you.

Did you know that smaller sequential tips can get you to your goal faster without a smaller risk of losing cam score or room interaction?
The basic premise is simple. Ask everyone in the room to tip in order . . . with the first person serving up 1 token, the second person tips 2, and so on.
By the time someone tips 45, you'll have already cleared 1,000 tokens, and when they hit 50 you'll be at 1275.
It's easy to calculate using Gauss's mathematical formula.
Here's a look at how that plays out:
1 to 5 = 15
1 to 10 = 55
1 to 15 = 120
1 to 20 = 210
1 to 25 = 325 |
1 to 30 = 465
1 to 35 = 630
1 to 40 = 820
1 to 45 = 1035
1 to 50 = 1275
