Raiding ideas is a great way to make extra money in the game. If your overall value in the game is well in the trillions, raiding may not be appealing. I currently have an overall value in the game over B$ 125 trillion and I still enjoy raiding.

What is raiding?

From the help node: http://blogshares.com/help.php?node=14

Raid Blog: This move steals 20-100% of the idea commodities produced by a blog in the artefact’s industry. Max. 500. For raiding, most players simply select a blog from the drop down menu provided. These top blogs in the Industry will typically yield the most Ideas for a Raid.

For the artefact wielder, raiding is a positive move in that they acquire Ideas for zero price, raising their Net Worth by the value of the Ideas raided. They can convert these Ideas into cash by selling the acquired Ideas either on the Ideas Market or by issuing Bonds for those Ideas. A raid does not affect any other player in the game or their Net Worth, other than removing some of the supply of Ideas in the Ideas Market. However, if the available Ideas in an Industry drop to zero, the price of the next Ideas produced in that Industry may be significantly higher or lower than the previous price, affecting many players’ Net Worths.

Yet another way to keep up with me on the world wide web is through Jaiku. I signed up at Jaiku a little while ago, but the blogs may be booming soon at Blogshares. Looks like many will be adding them to the game now. My Jaiku URL is: http://nexy.jaiku.com/ and in Blogshares it is listed at: http://blogshares.com/blogs.php?checkid=11478086 .

WyldRyde is a great IRC server that I have been hanging out on for four years. In the past year, I have been there more and met a lot of nice people. I mainly hang out in #blogshares, but I also chill in #bsec, #vinyl, #Aliensco, #pnp and #lockergnome. I chat about Blogshares a lot but we also talk about a variety of topics such as music, world news, politics and movies. It gets so crazy in #blogshares sometimes, that I forget what we are talking about. The people on WyldRyde are fun and intelligent. I rarely see spammers taking advantage in channels, but when they do… ops are there to get their ban on.

I passed the trillionaire mark on Blogshares today. I didn’t move up in the rankings much, but I did make that monetary goal. I forgot about my idea industries held goal of 3,000.. oops, so I ended up at 2,973 industries held.

I am still sitting on a handful of expensive industries that have enough ideas to ready to build an arte, but I am just not ready to build them because they are so expensive. I will probably build a couple of them this month.
