Divine Lunacy

I’ve had a BlogShares account since last 2004 (although something happend with my first one.), but I’ve always thought that the game was a complete waste of time. In the last few days, I’ve proven myself wrong. I am completely addicted to the idea of gaining large amounts of fake money. My experience with mafia.org was very similar. I never really cared about Mafia, but when I tried it, I was addicted instantly. I plan to gain riches and grandeur while seeking world conquestion in BlogShares, much like I did in mafia. Unfortunately, my dreams were never realized in Mafia. There was a great server crash and all of the accounts were lost. The great leaders of the Time, Including Ganelon, became mere legends. Mafia would never be the same after that. The post-crash world began with total chaos. There were no real leaders—just underground groups each with their own candidate for world dicator. Of greatest note are Father_TeQ and his followers. Father_TeQ was the first registered user after the crash and was bound to make Made Man before anyone else. Father_TeQ’s cold ways soon lead to underground support groups. Each grouped offered you protection, and promised to avenge your death. These groups had to remain underground as Father_TeQ would put hits out on anyone who dared oppose him. These tactics eventually led to anti-TeQ cults who were responsivle for his downfall. Shortly after the fall of the evil dictator, order was restored to the mob and Ganelon had regained his thrown in Amber (though he would never match his former greatness.). It seemed things might settle down for a while, but a short time later, Ganelon allowed a low ranking player to attempt to whack him. The whack succeeded, and so passed Ganelon. The game was not the same without Ganelon, but I continued playing until Izzy left. Shortly after the departure of Izzy, the game crumbled, and has since been rebuilt from scratch. The new version is not the same. The idea of recreating the mafia has come to mind several times in the past, but I have dismissed the thought because of all the work involved. I think I might actually go through with it this time…. we shall see… Meanwhile: I just made $100,000 YAY!
