Blog Explosion

Recently, I signed up at Blog Explosion. It is a pretty cool traffic generating site and you know how I love traffic. It is one of those sites where you surf through blogs, you earn points. Each point corresponds to a reciprocal visit to your site. To keep blogger's interest, they have several games you can play. One of the games on the site is called Blog Tycoon. The premise that you have to go through levels to earn points. At each level, you have a choice of banking your winnings or continue. The higher level you achieve the greater the points. At level one, you can bank five points. On level seven, the final level, you have a chance to win 7500 points! My need for traffic and my alleged, but unproven, addictive personality, have combined to drive me to spend most of my free time playing. The one thing I left out of the description of the game is the catch. If you get detected by the tycoon, you lose all of your points. Since I want to win the 7500 points, I always keep going. Tonight, I felt lucky. There I was, cruising through sites climbing level after level. I was earning points like you wouldn't believe. I finished level six and had earned 935 points. Hesitating for only a moment to consider banking my winnings, I braved starting level seven. Full of adrenaline, I clicked on "continue" and you guessed it, the first click, the rat-bastard tycoon nabbed me. That's it. I am never, ever playing that freaking game ... until tomorrow. Who said I have an addictive personality? More stories from Paul Gavin. Info on novels Paul Gavin's Storefront.
