Welcome to Gaia! ::

Booty grab is a game where it is not unusual to earn 100k per day from playing. The people with the good tanks make even more than the grabbers.

I was kind of sad to see the announcement go out about Modmas. I thought that I actually had a chance of winning something before it went out. sweatdrop I guess it will be impossible to keep up with conversations in there now. I feel sorry for the mods who have to sift through the pages to find stuff for the contests.

You've seen the tanks in several people's sigs, right? Whenever they are glowing and say "Booty Grab," click on the tank, and it will let you play. It will give you a brief run-down on the rules, but basically you are just trying to catch as much falling gold as possible. Blue circles are power-ups, and red ones are power downs. It's pretty simple. If you are really serious about getting gold, you can go to the aquarium forum. There are several threads containing tanks with really good fish that will drop alot of gold if they are glowing. Also, alot of people make threads for people to bump in when they're glowing, so it is pretty easy to find a tank that you can play. Some tanks are better than others. Kenny's tank is extremely good. You can easily make 2k from his tank in one go. My tank is really crappy. Most people only get about 50gold from mine. sweatdrop Unfortunately, it is insanely expensive to keep a really good tank, even if you have cash. One watermeat costs 749 cash or 200k+ in the marketplace, but it is not uncommon to see people with 17 watermeats in their tanks. They go to all of this trouble to fill their tanks with expensive fish and take the trouble to advertise them so that people will play their tanks. Whenever someone plays your tank, you get 1/4 of whatever the people grab. I have one friend who told me that she got 40k from just time that her tank glowed, and most tanks glow about every two hours. If you play it right, you can make a killing. However, I lack the necessary gold to start such an enterprise. sweatdrop

Holy s**t that thread grows fast. sweatdrop

Yeah, the thread definitely saw an increase in activity with that announcement. I didn't even know it was actually going out until I came back on and saw a bajillion PMs, profile comments, and friend requests sweatdrop

How many PMs/comments/friend requests do you mean? About 20 each? Oh yeah! And I was wondering! Was Modmas your idea, or did you just set up the thread?

Skippy, I guess I didn't respond in time of being any help, but I hope you slept okay.

About 40 PMs/comments and 30ish friend invites. I've been continually getting more though, I stopped trying to keep track.

I started the idea off with me just throwing some pink boxes at some random people I saw in the forums and then it gradually just grew into what it's at now.

On the one hand it's nice to see it became so popular and such a big success. On the other, the spam and speed at which the posts are made make it difficult to actually interact with users in it. I'm still hoping the activity dies down since we're not rewarding people who try to spam the hell out of it to get an item.
