Since last weekend when we had a marathon of trivia style games, I have been racking my brain for ways to create another one. While I have some in mind, I don't have time right now to sit and monitor answers, so I have come up with another challenge.

For the past week or so, when I need to buy a drink in the game, I have come up with rules to choose the person I buy from. First, I find a picture that stands out to me, a screen name or something else that caught my eyes. Then I click on them and see if they have a message in the Greeting area. If it is blank or generic, I go back and find someone new. This continues until I find one with a message.

If it has a message, not a plain "Hi," "Welcome," "Thanks," "Ect.," then I would buy a drink and write something catchy back, normally having something to do with their greeting. For example, one lady I bought a drink from said she has free childcare with any purchase so I asked in my message back where I could leave my kids. I have done it for about 20 people or more and have tried not to repeat sellers. (If you are one of these people, please read on for your directions further down.)

My challenge is for those of you interested, catch my eye with your picture (doesn't have to be a photo, some have been unique cartoons or messages), write a message in your greeting area and wait for me to buy from you, then post your greeting message and my reply message here. For those of you I have already done this too, find the journal entry with my purchase and message in it and post your greeting message with my reply message here, too!

Right now I am bouncing all over LL, so you never know when I will be in your area. I will check this post every time I log on to see who has completed this challenge and will then send them their mystery gift. There is also a way to earn an extra gift but I will keep it secret for now. Good luck and have fun!!

Update*** Forgot to mention: My simple reply of "Thanks for the Joe!" does not count! I try to leave a message for everyone I buy a drink from and if there was no message or it was generic, or before I started this challenge, then I wrote this. It will still have this incorporated into it somehow so it will be easier to find my messages. Kinda like my signature to my messages or my trademark! One mom had the name of 2 of her drinks an I replied "thanks for the (name of her drink)" (This one would count because it did incorporate her message into my message)

You must post what I put in my thank you message to receive the gift. If you have a message in your greeting and you want me to reply to it so you can qualify for the gift, feel welcomed to either PM me or buy one from me and state that you want to enter the Challenge! I will reply to either of these methods but if the message in your greeting area is generic, I will not buy!

Message 23 on page 3 is me!

I like to choose players to buy from if they have a martini icon (I LOVE MARTINIS) or a really cute baby pic or a rainbow because my daughter is gay. Sometimes I return the favor from one who has just bought from me, but I mainly try to choose new players with lower JB. :-)

She had this to say: Thanks for the Joe! I love coffee, too, and I think my new baby does because that seems to be all I am craving night and day!

Wilma37's Greeting:

HI! I LOVE COFFEE! Let me know if you want to trade JB, SD or EP! :-)
