Gujranwala (Pak) & Ganzhou

Just these last 2 artifacts to get.  Just Ganzhou left from these two.  Still have that Cloning artifact to get too.

The last of the Artifacts are completed.

Have to wait or maybe wright a new one.

More Arty Chasing

Just Cloning left from this group of Artifacts.

Completed

Arty Chasing

Finally got this bunch done.

Rugby Sevens

A new industry to chase for an idea or two.  Neat thing about this is I've found a new way to search blogger accounts.  Neat.

Got it.  That was quick.

New Industry = Nelson (NZ)

Hopefully one of the links below will go to the blog and I can get the industry!

Lots of Artifacts

There are a ton of new artifacts that have been released.  Artifacts have been released for Annaba (Algeria), Cloning, Coventry (RI), Eureka (CA), Ganzhou, Gujranwala (Pak), Johnston (RI) and Smithfield (RI).  Below is links to blogs in the industries in no particular order.

Updated in new post

Hoover (AL)

One more Artifact to chase down.  Some blogs I've found and added to the game are below that will be used to get more ideas to drop.  Shouldn't take long with a list like this.

Completed!

Florence, Alabama

New Artifact to chase for the game.  One of two I don't have.  Some blogs from Florence, Alabama are below.

Yet another completed!

Still Playing

Have been playing the game a bit more this month.  Still not back to the level of play I used to be.  Was able to chase down the industries I was behind on and have made a small effort to grab some ideas for the Artifacts I don't have.  Maybe this weekend a blog hunting expedition will occur and a bunch of new blogs will be added to the required Artifacts.  They will show up here if I do.

Chips and Nothing

Still to busy in the 'real world' to play the game.

Decided to use up some B$ to get some chips.

Other than that nothing.

*sigh*

Muscatine (IA)

More Artifacts are being released.  That puts me into blog finding mode since I don't have the rquired ideas and must find some addition to produce those ideas.

Here are some I found below.  They are all Twitters because I couldn't find a single regular blog.  That's an oddity.


Artifact complete!

Rutland (VT)

Lots of Artifacts out to chase down.  Don't mind at all because it's the funnest part of the game.  I'll chase this new one down too. 

I screwed up and added a bunch of blogs for Rutland (UK) and voted them into Rutland (VT).  I think that is a first for me.  I have done and still once in a blue moon do an incorrect vote but this one was the worst mistake I've made since starting to play the game.  Goes to show that no matter how long you play the game you have to be very careful about adding and voting.  At least they were legitimate blogs.  One thing I don't do is whine about it and try to blame it on a conspiracy theory that someone is out to get me.  LOL.

Artifact now complete!

Pleasant Grove (UT)

Another new industry and artifact to go with it.  Intersting.  Addes around 24 or so new blogs to the industry yesterday and need this post to link to them.  Shouldn't take long to get them.

This artifact is now completed.

Tangshan

A couple of new Artifacts have been released to chase.  The only one I don't have is for the Tangshan Industry called Great Tangshan Earthquake.  There is currently only three blogs avalilable for indexing.  I have five added to the index that can go into this industry but something is still broke in the game and won't allow the blogs to be recognized in the game.  Pretty frustrating playing the game latley given the small amount of time I have to play and the game always seeming to be broke when I do get a chance.  Here is hoping for a fix soon.

Complete!

Blogshares Broke

The game seems to be down.  Obviously something has broken.  I don't have a clue how to get to the ICQ channel so left a message at Blogshares – Notes from an obsessed player to get some info.  I should try to get more involved with what happens in the background but have always been satified with just playing the game.

There has been a lot of folks whining in the game latlely.  I don't understand why they haven't been taken to task for the poor voting and moderating.  I had to face the punishment for poor voting when first joining the game and the current mistakes seem to be more frequent than my own.  Perhaps we need the BSEC to get a bit more aggresive because the players doing the incorrect voting and moderating seem to have no remorse for what they have done and seem to be trying to blame others for their problems.

Still Playing

Just got caught back up on the new ideas.  Still have an artifact to chase down but don't feel the need to go after it hard.  Too much happening in the real world. 

Should report some more of those dead windows live blogs.  I do need the sigma.

Bogor, Indonesia

Like I said in the last post there is an Artigact to chase.


Got it done!

Still Playing...

...but just barely.  Still won't have time to play until Februrary unless a weekend frees up.  Even my blogs are suffering.

At least it seems there is an artifact to chase again.
