Restaurant City is a simple Sims-like game that is integrated with Facebook. What makes the game simple is that there are not many actions that you can take. Your job is to run a restaurant, cook food, keep your customers happy with food and other services and make money.

Were I begin to lose patience is the ability to learn new dishes. You have to accumulate ingredients by different methods such as trade, purchase and winning them on a daily quiz. Just seems like there is a slow process for advance in this area of the game.

I am now on Level 8 and have about 5,000 in coins (the currency of the game). When you level up you receive items such as being able to hire another employee and adding space to your restaurant. I have 5 employees and it would be nice to have another one now so she can clean the restaurant full time. I have to wait until about 2 more level increases though.

Do you play Restuarant City?  Drop a comment with some tips.

What is Spymaster?

Spymaster is a social game based on Twitter, a social messaging service. Each player becomes a master of a spy ring based upon their Twitter followers list.

The more people that follow you and are playing characters in Spymaster, the more powerful your network will be. As a spymaster, you can perform tasks or attack other spymasters on Twitter. With each successful attempt, you will gain virtual currency and points that allow you to grow even stronger.

The object of the game is to build structures to protect your land and kill the enemies. It looked a lot easier than it actually is. I played for an hour or so tonight but I had a lot of interruptions from William and Keisha. “Mama… it’s a bat!” “No dear, that is a dragon.” And it kept going on and on.

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.

In my bookmarks, I have the following page added:

http://blogshares.com/user.php?id=USERID&view=artefacts&sort=price&order=DESC

Of course, where you see USERID, you would replace your blogshares ID. I use the above link because it sorts my artefacts by idea value from highest to lowest. When I am ready to raid industries, I always start at the top. When these ideas are available for raiding they will give you the most money per share, but not necessarily the most money total (which depends on how many ideas you get from the actual raid). For example, the most valuable industry with an artefact is currently Frogs, but Frogs does not raid well which means that you are lucky to get a few ideas from raiding this industry. On the other hand, the Perl industry (currently in the top 20 most valuable industries with an artefact) raids very well when you select from the top blogs to raid.

How to Raid the industry:

Go to the fifth column that is titled: Use / Left. Scroll down to an artefact that has Use* (the word use with an asterisk next to it). If the industry does not have an asterisk, then there are no ideas available to raid. Click on Use*

You will see a page like this:

On the first drop down menu for Action, select Raid Blog. Under Target, select one of the top blogs in the drop down menu. Generally speaking, the top blog will give you the most ideas per raid. After you have made these selections, click Use (Insert artefact name here).

After you click Use, you will see something like this:

There is a 15 second limit on the artefact use. Wait 15 seconds and you can use it again. After you have raided the industry twice, you have many options. You can move on to the next industry to raid, sell the ideas for B$ or hold on to the ideas to increase your overall idea value.

See how fun it is?

From the homepage of Duels.com:

I decided to create a female elf. Female avatars were just recently added to the game, so that is cool. My elf’s name is Yrinnea… and yes I made that up.

My character’s origin is:

Yrinnea is a moon elf from the surface of Toril who was orphaned from her family when they were slain during the Great War. She was at the innocent young age of 110 when she watched her father and mother tortured and killed by a great warrior soldier. Her twin brother was carried away (presumed to also be tortured and then killed). Now at the teenage year of 210 she participates in DUELS and goes on quest for power in hopes of finding that enchanted soldier (which she was informed still lives).

I am not that creative to write such words… JT wrote it for me.
