Back from War!

Hi, my name is Marzie and I'm addicted to Facebook...there, I finally admitted it! After months of telling myself not to fall into the FB trap and end up being one of those FB junkies, here I am finding myself logging on to FB every few hours of the day and night, for no other reason than to play Triumph, my latest FB game craze! As hard as I try to stay away from Triumph, I seem to fail miserably so far and there's no denying it for some of my other blog friends as well. I see some of you logging on at odd hours of the day and night too, just to play this game! ;)

In Triumph, you are basically fighting other players for more land to build on, money to build residences to increase your population or commercial zones and power, and battle experience to improve your ranking. Starting off as a Private, you have to continue your battle in order to move up and ultimately earn the rank of Captain. I've been stuck at Sr. Sergeant First Class for more than a week now. I've also been under heavy attack and the money flow has not been good either, so it was somewhat difficult for me to reinforce my army for retaliation. But today, after much effort and numerous defeats, I finally won the last 12 points I needed for my promotion and am now a Master Sergeant! :)

I'd love to take a break and enjoy my victory for a while, but I see some of my favourite Triumph friends are busy battling too, so there's more work to do! Sergeant Major GK is quickly gaining momentum and has already exceeded me in terms of rank. By the way, it was GK's incessant requests for me to join Triumph that made me try this FB application, so I blame my addiction on him LOL! And then, there's Sr. Sergeant First Class Emila trailing closely behind; who's also improving and gaining more land by the day. The ultimate mover among my Triumph friends this past week however, is definitely Master Sergeant Helmy, who only recently joined me in this Triumph craze. He has moved leaps and bounds within days to quickly catch up and beat me in this crazy battle. At the rate he's going, he will definitely move rank faster than me! ;)

I'm not sure if it's the satisfaction of winning or the need to move up in rank that lures me to log on every few hours to check my status and use whatever money I've earned to build up my army; strengthening them for more attacks before going off to war. Either way, I am totally hooked on Triumph and I'd love to see more of my blog buddies there - it's always more fun when you can share your addiction with friends! ;)

So I hope you can forgive me for being MIA these past few days; as you can see I've been away at war but I'll be back in the Blogworld soon! In the mean time, I'm leaving you with a link to an exciting site called Itch.com. This gaming community allows players access to free-to-play multiplayer online games.
