Lessee almost 6 months so I suppose better write something.... On the Hockey front my guesses rather sucked, It was a Tampa Bay, Calgary Final. Tampa Won Lord Stanley's Mug in a thrilling 7 game series. After that, Lockout. There will no pro hockey for a while I have a feeling as neither side is ready to give in. The players won't let the owners have a salary cap... and on the other side players don't believe the owners are giving them true numbers... so no season. I'll venture nothing will happen this year and a few US teams will be no more. An interesting sidenote, in the US Hockey is about as popular a television event as (Yawn) 8 ball. Hehe, good luck getting a decent tv contract.

Blogshares June rolled around and yup I did make it to $100 Billion net worth. I borrowed 1/2 trillion from Jessica and played around in the ideas market hardcore for a couple months and made it up to around 1.3 Trillion. Then my premium membership expired. Ouch.... I had forgotten just how limiting 20 transactions really is. Basically 20 transactions lasts you around 1 hour of playing time per 24 hour period. So at the moment... I don't play a whole lot. Oh and I returned the 1/2 trillion, Thanks again Jessica :)

September rolls around and Alan Dean finally got his wish, the pricing algorithm on the ideas market is changed, no more cap on idea prices, and idea amounts. My ideas suddenly skyrocket, as do everyone elses... as of this writing I'm up to around $4.5 Trillion blogdollars. I like the change! So how has this changed the idea market... You need a lot of capital/cash to play the ideas market. This isn't a problem for most players who have played for any length of time. Cash is one of the plentiful commodities on Blogshares :) For the first month every idea that was produced was bought... period. Gradually the free cash was sucked out of the market and put into ideas. This took all of about a month. Around 2 weeks ago now, a few players started dumping their lower priced ideas that produce lots of ideas on every reindex. Ideas such as Female, Male, English, Farsi, (any that Persian Blog is a member of) or any of the top 20 stock industries are getting dumped back onto the market. This has left around 50-90 idea industries with massive #'s of ideas on the market. There is basically very little hope of these ideas every climbing too much in price. The only way is buy them all, and all that are produced for more than a day or two... to make maybe 2-5% on your investment. It can be done... but tis rather difficult to buy all the ideas that any of these particular industries produce... I mean you have to sleep sometime :) and don't forget that 20 transaction limit... argh!

What else have I been up to the last few months... Diablo 2 again is sucking up massive amounts of online time. The Ladder season reset this past July after 1 year. It would seem that a ladder season is going to be around 1 year... fair enough, once the season runs out. You don't lose your characters, they simply become non ladder. It was rather humorous the first few days of the new season, join a baal run game and the entire game was filled with sorcerers... yes the sorcerer is still the best first character to make, doesn't need great armour or weapons to rock!
