Who are you

When you are down and out and feel that you need to quit, sometime, you come across people who are there to pull you up, encourage you, prod you to go on and not give up.
Guess this has happened to lot of people in real life. And most of the time you call these people family.

So what’s the big deal? Right?

Now close your eyes imagine that you are in a game, intensively competitive, everyone trying to get an edge over the other, to be the alltime top player, best player for the month or whatever.

You are in trouble, you are not progressing, you are stuck for ideas. Now imagine the same things happening to you in real life, happens to you in a GAME?

WTF?

This is game right, and in a game people are supposed to be aggressive with no quarter give and non expected. In real life they are all "nice", and games are places where people are “supposed” to let out aggression.

Blogshares is an aggressive game. Played by some extremely helpful, some not so helpful, some indifferent to what’s happening around and some thoughtful fun loving people.

I have never come across such a bunch of humorous, supportive, aggressive and helpful people, who seem to thrive in teaching the newcomers, welcoming the new players. (Actually I dont think this happens in real life). But these are all real people!

I have seen some of them answering the same question put by multiple newcomers with smiles (or :) ).

The guys maintaining the site are doing it on their own time. There are volunteers who help out by contributing their time and skills.

I wonder why? For the love of the game, maybe. For the sheer thrill of working with similar minded people.

I feel like I am at home. The game is addictive as are the people.
