Rising Star - It's JUST a game. Or is it?

in Rising Star Game2 years ago (edited)

The @risingstargame terms and conditions make it super clear that Rising Star is just a game.. and is to be played for an enjoyment and not an investment vehicle etc...

Ok let's look at this question properly.

This week TDC Tunes asks.... Is Rising Star JUST a game?

Reasons Rising Star is JUST a game

  1. Jux says so and he's the (rock) god of Rising Star
  2. It says so in the Terms and Conditions
  3. No other reasons.

Reasons Rising star is MORE than a game

  1. It can replace clocks and watches! Leave your watch in a drawer and use the in game mission timer as your primary way to keep time!

  2. Task Management and Productivity. Taking #1 a bit further - why not use the mission timer as a guideline for your todo list. You could group your tasks into those taking 5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, 200 mins etc. And make sure you only allow yourself the time when the appropriate RS mission is running to do them! The ultimate task management application is here folks!

  3. You can and SHOULD base your entire social life around it. There are Twitch streams with RS giveaways almost 24/7, the Discord server, and the highlight of everyone's social calendar - Radio Evolved om Sunday nights!

  4. Rising Star is a great indicator of dating suitability. I've come to the conclusion that (if I were single which I'm not) then a basic compatibility requirement I would gave in future is top 100 membership on the Rising Star leaderboard. You could look at all the other stats too - maybe it's fans that float your boat or you find people with a lot of skill super sexy? Personally I like someone with a lot of luck.

  5. There is a TDC Tunes legendary card and a TDC Tunes Modular Synth instrument card. How can you not take it super seriously when the so called game has these in?

  6. It's group therapy! There's nothing like where there is an occasional cough 502 Bad Gateway error happens and the community comes together in the Discord channel and well... basically a spontaneous and amazing group therapy session happens till the game is back up! So go ahead and fire your therapist. 502 Bad Gateway group therapy day has got your back!

  7. It's educational! Learn about music history and popular culture - from the special 'classical' composer cards right up to the super topical latest day - and into the future! Degrees in Rising Star cards and their meanings coming to a university near you soon!

  8. It's an obsessive collectors dream. Yes I'm looking at you uniques page on the RSGFan site - refreshing you hourly! (thanks @foxon). It takes up a lot less space than a stamp collection too.

  9. It can be your only source of music! You can listen to the radio built into the game, watch the weekly radio show, and you can even buy your favourite musician's records in the game! So ditch that Spotify subscription and listen to your favourite RS artists!

  10. We've covered the personal, social, dating, education, entertainment and even productivity benefits of Rising Star. But what about it helping you get your next job! Don't send your linkedIn profile - send your Rising Star band and stats as your Resume! Cos if you're like me it took a lot more dedication and passion and attention to detail to build that up than your LinkedIn did by a mile! If recruiters don't get that then it's probably not the job for you anyway.

So fellow players - what do you think? Do you still think it's JUST a game!

Disclaimer:
Obviously this article is tongue in cheek! Play for fun, or for whatever else you get out of the game be it the amazing community or (shock horror) making a bit of fairly passive crypto! Above all read and understand the terms and conditions (they aren't that long and are well written). And definitely DO NOT fire your therapist!

What a fun read! You clearly pointed out that this is not just a game? It's a way of life! So many ways to look at it...

I love the productivity aspect you outlined & may incorporate that in my daily To Do list to make it more fun & (gasp!) more productive. I tend to compete against myself (ok, ok, as well as a couple of others) a bit to see if I can move up the leaderboard a little each week (if not days). It keeps me motivated & engaged with the RS community as well. Maybe I will move up in the 70's level...hmmm... see what this pixie dust is capable of.

AND of course there are the fabulous NFTs, including mine too! We are basically rock stars at this point! ;) So, who ever is NOT playing is missing out...

Hi there @spaminator - just wondering why the downvote? This is a quality comment.

The part on timers is so true! 🤣 I find myself setting timers throughout the day just for the game and then squeezing in tasks in between them.

However, that aside, I don't quite agree with some of the game restrictions even if I abide by it. The entire idea of crypto and NFTs is an antithesis of those rules in my opinion.

Ha! I had a feeling some people might do the same! Though I also of course play by the rules I do also see your point about the 'spirit' of NFTs and crypto not quite fitting with the games rules.

looks at #4 woohoo!!

Hahah - Rising Star Dating Service coming soon! How about it @atomcollector / @risingstargame ?

you and tdc will make a lovely couple

Hahaha...😂 🤣 😅 😆!!! Dude, simply fantastic! I love it! Yep, RS's pretty darn cool! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Haha thanks glad you enjoyed it. I've got another idea for a tongue in cheek post about Rising Star that I think I'll post next week!

Have a great day!

Absolutely, and so yes! That sounds great! I'll keep an eye out for it! Thank you! I hope that your Friday is fantastic, too! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

The game is also a great lesson in the art of the pun.

I may be one of the avid unique collectors.

That's an interesting spin on the "just a game/not a game". :)

!PIZZA

yes is very goos game ;)

so it's a game? And not a way of life??

no... do not know. I at least just play, waiting for the timer to run out to do another mission and another 😂

Lets face it, RS is a life style.....we are all in!

So do you do ALL the things in my list? ;)

well maybe not the dating bit but the rest for sure
