Wealthymr's blog: "There are no Strangers"

I sit here viewing my home page alone, unsure of tomorrow and not satisfied with the loss of another empty day. I begin to reflect on the page that glares back at me and I begin to remember why I joined this site and the joy it has given me over the past two years. The allure of the social networking was the initial draw, the hopes of a friendship was the clincher to make me hit the join button. I did not know that Fubar was more than a social virtual reality time killer until I began to move up levels, My excitement was so child like when I was first Fu-Owned by Cathey for over a million...LOL There was the draw....Play the game and match my real life wealth with the wealth of fu-money too. Game on I thought and off to fu land I went to conqour and accumalate the status of a Fu master.....Oh the fun it was to accumalate friends, fans and chat buddies. I began to tell my real life friends of the site and noticed they did not see the draw and worried about the theme of being "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition" (FUBAR) as I am an Ex drinker. No matter I thought, their loss.

I began my FU adventure innocently, random checking the site for mail and user comments, rating others and building my friend and fan base. It was not long after I joined that I made some chat buddies, How cool I thought, I had friends here that wanted to chat and know about my day so I began to sign on more often and chat and of course play the wealth game and working hard to level often. I must confess here and now that I dont like to lose and am considered by most a winner in most things in life.....I dont fail I just try harder is my moto. I did not notice at first how much time I was spending on the site or what I was putting off to do it. My addictive side had kicked in and I became a FU regular (One who makes FU a part of there daily life). This in and by its self is not a bad thing, many have there hobbies and FUBAR was mine and to that end I could justify the time I spent on the site. I began to see that I was not the only FU regular on the site and quickly became friends with others like me that could help me see the road to winning on this site. I began to formulate a strategy with the help of others and could see the path to playing the game to win and be as I had always been before in real life, the golden boy of FUBAR......LOL how innocent I was........

The years on FUBAR have passed by like Chapters in a best selling Novel. The past four years since writing the words of an innocent newbie on this site have brought many stories to mind, many bring a smile to me as I reflect on them and others bring a tear or two as I have lost friends in real life whom I met on this site. The FU-Regulars know what I mean when I say that fubar to us is more than just a internet social media site, for many of us it is as real to us as if we were going to a real life social club or bar down the street. The names we see when we sign on have as much charecter and personality as anyone else we know in real life, we look forward to hearing how their day was, and we are there for them on this black hole of internet madness as much as we are for friends in real life...Yes newbies hold on, your in for a hell of a ride when your Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition (FUBAR) on this site.

In October of 2009 I began to explore other segments of the site, specifically FU-Mafia. This area of FUBAR is under the Games Tab of your home page. I, the one person in real life who had never played a computer/internet game in my life, clicked on the ad for it and was instantly captivated by it. Imagine this if you will, Your in a real life town, The Red Light district lets say, You see a place called The Brothel, a biker club, A place for ladies called Dark Angels of Mafia, Theres a weapons depot, a secret training club called Supa KRU where advanced killing techniques are being taught, a church like organization called The Apocolypse, a city planning building where you can buy a property or Business..No questions asked, Cash Only Please...and my favorite lace...Warlords. Yes friends you just entered Mafia and watch out...unless you have friends in high places, your chances of being hit listed/Killed are very high in the beggining of your journey. These "Joints" are called Turfs, each named for a specific interest or Game strategy, designed to get new associates to join there turf. That first day hundreds of these turfs were formed and within a few weeks as we all began to feel comfortable with what the hell you do to build up a mobster, it was Game on....(More to Come)
