Want to know how to improve your relationship with your children? Join them on Moonbase!!
For those of you who don't know this, Moonbase is a game on the MXIT social network. You start a Moonbase with Oxygen mines, Water generators, Iron mines and Helium mines. Upgrading your mines is your first priority in order for them to generate enough resources to upgrade your buildings like your communication centre, work yard, war room, radar, silo (to hold your resources), bunker (to hide your resources) and research lab. The purpose of the game is to build your population and survive the attacks from raiders, and build and expansion module so that you can create more bases. It's of paramount importance to be part of a strong alliance! (Something like Star Wars......)
This is a great opportunity to be someone else - you select a name for yourself and for your moonbase and start playing.
The great thing is, I have two sons quite active on this game! I have been trying to upgrade my base, build my 'pop' but keep getting attacked by this one individual. I was getting very despondent and was seriously thinking of giving up - and who comes to my rescue????
"Hey Mom, don't worry, I'll send you reinforcements to help defend you."
"Mom, what resources do you need to upgrade so that you can build more moon buggies?"
"Don't worry Mom, the alliance will stand together and take him out!"
In this day and age, my sons don't get the chance to fight for my honour as their mother. On moonbase they get that opportunity and it makes me feel good that they would sacrifice their resources, moonbuggies and base for me.
You might think it trivial, but my heart is warmed by my sons' love in this 'other dimension'.
