Not a huge fan of Party Chat in general unless it's a model I already know will give it their best shot, (which in case I'll be one of those three or four guys who will carry a whole show). It does get the model additional traffic, but don't whine when the cars aren't all Mercedes..lol
From my experience on Flirt. It takes a really special kind of model/performer to make a Party Chat feel like a party instead of a high-pressured charity auction. The model needs to be able to FIRST correctly assess and gauge his room for enough willing, enthusiastic participants BEFORE starting a Party Chat, then be as engaging as possible in order to keep that high energy level tip-worthy. The tricky part is making the whole thing look easy, relaxed, natural and still be fun. Sounds impossible I know, but I've witnessed that first hand in many Party Chats and had some great experiences.
Unfortunately, nine out of ten times the average model incorrectly assumes that X-number of members=$$$ and that's not always the case. Then the model gets frustrated, loses momentum, or the few tipping members get impatient waaaaay before for the magical "WOOHOO goal" appears. That's the part I really hate about Party Chats, all risk and no guarantees, but even then, an experienced model will know how to gracefully and graciously end a party chat, exit stage left and regroup for another chat later without the drama and trauma.
My biggest Pet Peeve (Oy Vey, I have so many) about Group and Party Chats though? When models publicly gripe and blame members for failed shows. Just saying. Quote

Agreed! Particularly party chats. (which I avoid). I think it takes a certain temperament. Some models recognize that this vehicle is not for them. Others, unfortunately, do not. Quote

Alam did a Party Chat and set the usual modest targets to "show cock" (about 100) and "go naked" (about 200). He set a target (about 500) for a cum show. I arrived at that point, and saw that he was going to be about 400 short. Lots of guys enjoying the show without paying. I didn't tip (unusually) or say anything as I was pretty sure what was coming next.
The party ended and, sure enough, Alam launched a "Cum on my Abs" Group Chat for 450. We pledged quickly, and Alam easily made his target. I think 3 latecomers made the total 600, and we gave some tips as well. Alam not only did a cum shot, but included a hot dildo show as well.

So good to see Party Chat and Group Chat used in this way. Everybody happy Quote
On the other hand, most of the Group Chats I have participated in have been high-energy, with the models actively engaging with the viewing audience, responding to comments, acknowledging some appropriate requests and ignoring the inappropriate ones. These were much more enjoyable and more satisfying.
This is a little off-topic, but with regards to one of louisphillippe's comments in February (post #100), I enjoy my private chats as well, but I use them almost exclusively for conversations rather than anything sexual. I prefer to participate in Group Chats for that kind of action. Even though the model may not be earning as much as a private show would bring in, it allows the model to set a reasonable time limit based on his knowledge of his own anatomy to do certain things. In a private show--and in a Party Chat--the whole thing gets tied to the amount of credits available and coming in, which may or may not purchase enough time to get things done. In that case, I do not mind sharing the experience in Group Chat because the likelihood of successful completion is higher.
Again off-topic, and I apologize...with regards to an older post, I have noticed that some participants in Group Chat pledge more than once (sometimes 4 or more times) to help the Group Chat succeed--I have done it myself. Only after the goal has been met do certain members who have been in the room who were actively chatting with the model decide to pledge. Not that I necessarily regret the extra pledges I made, but I can see how some others might become frustrated and irritated with these late pledges, especially as not everyone can readily afford multiple pledges (they might be trying to save credits for private chats, tips, etc.).
Apologies for going off-topic. Quote

Completely agree with this, zyxwv098
It is understandable that some members hold back in Party Chat. They don't want to tip early and then find that the model doesn't reach his target, or the party ends or he is taken off to private. There are no refunds in Party Chat.
However, Group Chat is totally different. There is no reason at all for holding back, as you get a refund if there is no show. I have experienced the annoying situation you describe lots of times, and it has been discussed in the separate Group Chat topic:

...stinks, they are good only if you have the right model and enough members who are willing to tip. In Kenni's room there were always plenty of tippers and Kenni always put on a good show, so it worked well.. Quote
...I'll get it started. Party chat works well for some performers, but I prefer Group Chat. I have attended many group chats and all of them have been great.
...My vote goes to Group Chat
GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

What were the best parts of the party chats Kenni, King, and Frank Wolf did? I'm sure a lot of models would like to bring some old school flavor into their parties Quote

Its hard to describe in retroperspective....you got to be there...it was an unique combination of perfomance of King Kenni and the interaction between him and the members and between the members, which really crowded his room....everybody really had a blast all the time....these were the days, indeed...(deep)sigh
