Thread: What's your ID tolerance level?
This really depends on who it is, his or her name, what the message says, and when it's sent. Usually I'll answer, but if i'm busy or frazzled, the questionable tells are the first to get the axe.
Example 1:
Penetrator'footlong tells you: can u giv me a haircut.
Any name that is rude, ugh. No. That boy is going to be trouble. Though the red flags go up, I will answer, but be on guard. In this example, his extremely long name suggests that he's got no last name, AKA, he's a wookiee, so chances are, this whole scenario can be ended by me saying something like
You tell Penetrator'footlong: Only certain races, wookiees and mon cal can't have hair because the bug which caused that was fixed.
Penetrator'footlong tells you: omg that suxxors, kkthx.
- Say "do you have time to do my hair" not "can u do my hair"
- Say "do you have time to answer a question" not "can u answer a question"
- Say "when would be a good time to come by" not "can i come now"
And of course flattery and personal references are always a plus.
it depends on what im doing at the time. if im not in the middle of anything, ill say sure, meet me somewhere. often, they turn out to be good customers, and tip well. of course...some just say thanks and run off, but i dont mind. ![]()

(Sorry wrong thread first)
For customers... I charge 10k for a quick make-over or 100k for a full session.
Why so much? Because if the person does not know what they want and just feel like browsing through every single thing I can offer, then they have to pay for my time and patience. And why wouldn't you either? Time is money... or that wasted time could of been invested into your friends or more important matter.
You have to keep in mind that some people get tired of their looks very quick... and change almost every week by leeching off some Image Designer for free.
Sorry but those people won't take advantage of me. I'll spend 2 hours if I have to on 1 person, but my 100k price is my 100k price.
I have hadtwo bad experiences so far. The firstwas almost the first person i ided. i helped him as good as i could, considering the lack of hair options i had at that time.He tipped me one credit on purpose. The other one let me do a whole make-over for nearly an hour. He was a citizen in our city. Afterwards he didnt pay, saying he didnt have any money (at master bountyhunter) . I didnt know at that time but he begged for money or goods by other citizens or conned them. I had the pleasure of seeing him removed from the city.
On starsider the tipsystem is much used. I do too. Tips usely range between 5k-10k. Sometimes i say i use tipsystem afterwardswhen i expect someone not giving the tip themselves so people know not to expect it free. Especially if they have a master title. That works fine.
Regardless from how the question is asked or what the person is called , i answer him. I have the phylosphy that if i didnt wanted to be disturbed i shouldntadvertise master image designer above my head. If i am with someone i always ask if that friend has a problem with me iding someone. if i am about to log i say in a rare occasion no. if i am busy with a client i tell that too. So far all my customers didnt object to waiting their turn.
All in all i have had a lot of very nice experiences with all sorts of people. Its a shame that now all ids end up in people either asking for something that doesnt exsist or ending up with the same hairdo cuz there isnt a nice new style and they tried everything already.
