The Latest

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been a week since I wrote anything in here! I’ve been playing blogshares steadily… and judging by that last entry in this blog, I’ve come a long way in the game. Here is my current standing on the Best Players List:

#3 - Aine MacDermot 2984826.73% growth

(Rank: 841, $123,987,967.68 current worth / $4,153.80 start of month)

Yes, you read that right, $123 MILLION! It all started with the issuance of 500,000 shares of Movable Type, which I promptly grabbed as much as I possibly could, of course. And then the stock split 1:20 and the Market went wild! Right now, we’re seeing share prices zoom into the hundreds, and even thousands, of dollars. The BS100 Index graph has gone crazy, and anyone still holding the now defunct Index Funds has surely become a millionaire.

Currently, there are 143 millionaires in the game, 56 of them were made millionaires yesterday! There’s no category in the stats for billionaires, but Louis Martin, tarotkid, and Jonathan would all be in that category if there was.

Among women players, Catherine@Creative Outlet is currently #1, I’m #2, mayamaya is at #3, and Morgaine LeFaye is at #4. Woohaw! Way to go ladies!!

Join us in the IRC chatroom while you’re playing the game, it makes it so much more fun. You can get stock tips from others, interesting conversation, and a lot of laughs while you’re in there. Seyed Razavi, creator of the game, has also dropped in from time to time and given players a chance to win shares in blogshares.com’s blogstocks, but you won’t win if you aren’t in the chatroom!

***I just checked the mail. Jonathan sent me an early birthday gift! The Fifth Element DVD from amazon. Can’t wait to watch it! Thank you, Jonathan, this was a wonderful surprise. Woohaw!
