Yawn

It's has been a busy month. Haven't had the time to play other than popping in for a quick look. It will probably be that way until after Christmas or until I take February off for holidays.

Standings Top 10

Currently tied for third place overall.  Once the pending error reports is cleaned out I will jump up one spot on the Sigma ladder putting me into sole possession of third.  Won't last long because all Ken Adams has to do is finish the latest Artifact and he will jump ahead of me again.  Have to keep working on my Karma and Sigma to stay in the top 5.  Did manage to retake top spot on the Wealth ladder but DJ Swa actually has 500TB$ in escrow so technically he is still ahead of me in the wealth rankings by 350-400 TB$

Havelock, NJ

A new artifact to chase!

Got it done.  That was short and sweat.

Slowly Climbing

Managed to get back to second in the Wealth ladder and climbed one more spot on the Karma ladder.  Also only a couple hundred coin off another spot.  Should have that tomorrow. 

Back to working some industries to increase wealth and working some penny industries to build them up for some profit.  Hope it works because it takes a ton of time and effort to build the pennies.

Hope my membership holds out.  Paid at the first of the week and still no confirmation that it's active in the game.  It was confirmed on my Visa.  If not I will just have to beg Billythekid to hook me back up.

That's the month so far.

Legitimate?

As far as I can tell these are legitmate blogs.  Neat way to have links to get artifacts and drops in blogs that don't have any incoming.  Might try something similier in the future.

Brief Ranking Increase

I've briefly made it to 3rd overall in the game. Won't last long since it won't take long for Ken Adams to catch back up on the Ideas ladder.

Put Put

Have been busy in the real world and still having trouble getting the time to focus on Blog$hares.  Only get in the game long enough to chase down artifacts and read emails.  Hope to be back putting along on a regular basis soon.

Busy

I've been way to busy at work and social to play much.  I've just been popping in now and again to check my email.  Hope to be back to playing soon.

Back and Jumping

While I was on holidays one of the players in the game is stepping away for awhile and gave me enough B$ funds to make me top wealth earner in the game and bumped me to 4th overall.  Looks like the same player gave enough chips to the DJ Swa to make him top in chips.  It's been some time since there has been any changes to the top tier players since Streetdog got to playing so he will be missed for the next while.

Holidaying

Haven't been playing since my holidays started.  Will get back at it in August.  At least then there will be lots of ideas and artifacts to catch.  Still haven't dropped any places since the last time I checked.

Having a back and forth with The Undertaker for 6th place.  I'm currently ahead but that is only because 19 new industries were released that I suggested and had the blogs in place to get the first drops.  Once The Undertaker catches up, the player will be ahead by one again.  I will need 2000 more points in Sigma and Karma to go up one spot in either.  Lots of work.

Moderation Contest

I've been ignoring other parts of the game lately to focus on the moderation contest. Looks like I'm resigned to finish in 3rd place for the most moderated votes. It still comes with nice prizes so no complaints. With one more day to go Twenty Three is in 1st place with 1508 votes, Moon Dial in 2nd place with 1419 votes and myself a close 3rd with 1204 votes.

I don't know what the standings are for most full screen moderated but I should be close to one of the top three places.

I also stand a pretty good chance at the most votes moderated in a day. Won't give the exact number of course but lets say currently if anyone behind me did all their voting in one day then I think their beat.

Sixth

I have sole possession of sixth place overall.

Tied a 6th.

I'm currently tied with Sage Enterprises for 6th place overall.

Changed my game name from The M of Cape Dorset to Dorset M. 

Couple of reasons - Needed a change and something shorter.

Movin' on up.

I made it to 7th place on the overall leaderboard and tops on the idea leaderboard.  Neither will last long because I will be selling off the extra ideas.  I will have to move up the money, sigma and karma boards if I want to keep moving up the overall leaderboard.  At least I'm in the hunt!

Costing Chippies

Reindex Requests 231 in last 24hrs

It's now costing me 1 chip for every re-index.

*sigh*

The number should drop considerable after 7 pm my local time.

Buddhism

Well all good things must come to an end and a full year of collecting this industry has finished.  I have taken Buddhism industry out of penalty and built it up to be sold.  My origional investment including the building portion for 6,429,718 ideas is B$71,424.12 for a total investment of B$459,236,949,998.16 (Billions).  I have sold those ideas for $40,003,228.25 each for a total of B$257,209,476,737,133.50 (Trillions).  Not sure if it was worth it for the time but I'm glad I did it.  I can now say I've saved an industry.

Now to see how many times I can bring the industry up and down.

Top 10!!

I finally made it to the top 10 in the overall standings.

Salvaterra de Magos

-UPDATE-
Finally finished this one.  A complete pain in the ass.  I guess every once in a while you have to have a hard one or it wouldn't be worth trying to get them all.

This Artefact is driving me crazy. Sometimes when I've indexed the blogs in the industry they don't drop any ideas and other times when trying to purchase the drop I get the warning that my transaction has timed out. Anyway back at it again tonight and hope to pick up another 1000 ideas. With any luck I might get enough ideas in the industry over the weekend to be close to finishing it.

On another note I have over 1000 votes in the system waiting to be moderated. I might make another go at the voting over the weekend and see if I can get over 2000 outstanding votes.

Putting Along

Long night.  I should be doing something different than this on a Friday night.

Pending votes: 879
Pending error Reports: 1011

Putting Along

Still holding my own.  Could be a while before I break the top 10.

Up & Up

Thanks to the generosity of a leaving player I find my self shooting to #13 overall.  I seem to be in a comfortable position at the moment with a spread of points between me, 12 and 14.  I have fallen out of tops in Artifacts but over the next few days I should get the last one and be tied.  Of course by then there may be another 20 or so released.

Top in Arts Again!

After a day of work I've managed to get back on top of the Artifact Ladder.  Won't be for long but I am close on two of the three remaining artifacts to get.  Maybe tomorrow.

STill in Top 20

I'm holding my own.  I should be at 5011.5 soon.  If I can just get a couple of more ideas in a couple of artifact industries I would be tied for first again and that would give me a couple of more points.

Wealth

I had said that in order to increase my standings I had to increase the ladders other than ideas and artifacts.  Well how about an increase like below.  I should be able to get another 100TB$ more this month.  The idea market is a much faster way to increase wealth than playing with the shares market.  The increase below is from Jan 1-6

Top 20 & Top Artifacts

Looks like I'm going to stay in the top 20 for a bit. I managed to get to top spot in the Artefacts and it might stay that way for a bit. I even managed to be the first one to get two of the new Artefacts. Anyway I'm now ranked 18th in the game because of the Artefacts but also because my wealth has been increasing so much. At the end of last week I was ranked 918 and now I'm at 928. Lets see how long this will last.

Top 20

Made it to the top 20 for the first time. Kallisto will go back past me once he has an idea for the newest industry. I will go back to 21 after that. The only way to get ahead and stay ahead is to increase the other categories like Wealth, Chips, Karma and Sigma. Back to work finding those dead blogs.

Top in Ideas

I did have sole possession of top spot in Ideas but sold a bond to Sage Enterprises before it showed up on the leader board. But for a total of 5 minutes I was top dog on that particular leader board.

Blogshares 5th Post

It's after midnight and I need one more post regarding Blogshares to be able to vote the blog into the Blogshares industry.  So I guess this does it.

Some one must have not played in the last 6 months because a ton of ideas have been dropped on the market.  Thankfully I grabbed a bunch before they hurt a couple of the industries I'm working. 

Immunis Diarrhea

Immunis has gone crazy and released a ton of Artifacts.

I like Immunis.

:o)

Northern Friends

Anyone coming here from The M of Cape Dorset you shall be disappointed. Nothing on this blog will reference anything from Northern living except the title photo once in a while. This blog will only deal with the game Blogshares. Hit the link to check it out because we are always looking for more players. Word of caution: Once you start it becomes very addictive.

Blogshares

Well I finally decided to start blogging about my blogshares experiences. I've been playing for just over a year and have a fairly good handle on the workings getting me in to the top 25 players in the game. I will have to learn how to work industries better if I'm going to get up the wealth ladder. Lets see how long it will take to get the five post required to get this voted into the Blogshares industry.
