Chele’s Blog

You own several websites. How do you maintain all of them?
By checking on them every day and looking for updates… I also leave some to rot.

What are the names of the websites you own?
Well, I own quote a few, the main one being jackuulempire.com which contains links to the rest.

I understand that you help people with writing reviews and also help with other writing services. Could you list what you offer here and your prices?
Well, yes it is true that I do writing for content, and I do so at about 0.025 cents a word right now, however as I build a customer base I plan to raise rates until I can actually live off of it.

You also have a blog, where you write in depth articles. How do you come up with the articles you write?
I am insane.

You started www.mafia-station.com what made you come up with the idea of a forum-based mafia style game?
Well, I saw what was already out there, and then I created MSRP I, the first game, in 2005.  After that, it of course closed and I brought my advancements to the big game of the time called MafiaRPG.  Later on when that site was sold to an irresponsible owner, and ended up in the hands of the dark lord, I created MSRP II out of protest, and further advanced the methods.  I eventually bought MRPG for myself to own, and from that I further modified and evolved the way the game worked.  I then sold that site because of a fiscal crunch I was in at the time.  Later on that site died, and was permanently shut down.  Thus I re-founded Mafia Station Role Play as the third incarnation, using everything I had learned, and to date I have created the most efficient game thus far.  MSRP III is the next generation of the genre also because it uses PHPBB 3, and has rules that are drastically shorter than its predecessors, while remaining just as detailed and competent. You can see the site at http://mafia-station.com.  I am still working on adding parts to it and creating a better site by incorporating a community run news page, where they can report on their own happenings, and also a wiki will soon be up and running.

Right now you are selling a few websites, from what I understand. How much are they going for and if someone wanted to buy them could they change the name of the url? What services would you offer them after selling the site?
I cant change the URL, as that is what I am selling.  The site, and the domain.  I have made several sites that I slaved over, and ended up coming out with nothing.  However they have gotten higher up in the rankings because I did some link building, and one of them is a four character domain name (cy13) which was for the biggest game I had planned, and became the biggest failure and time investment ever.  I want to recoup at least the hosting and domain costs, so someone could get both the WastelandsRPG site and the Cy13 site for 100 bucks - and I’d throw in some un-used domain names too.

You’re a train collector. What first attracted you to buy model trains? How many pieces do you have as far as trains?
I got my first model HO scale train when I was three.  It imprinted on me.  I used to watch trains every day at the track with my Grandmother and Grandfather too.

What other businesses-like things do you own? Do you hire people to help you with writing articles/reviews/etc?
Used to own a writing service.  Became a hassle to manage, and the old saying goes - if you want it done right, do it yourself.

If you could do anything in the world (as far as a career) what would it be? Why?

World Dictator.  Because I want to change it and make it fit my image of a good world.

If there’s one thing you would like people to know about you, what would it be?
They should submit to me and give me their full support an loyalty to a world takeover.  Because in the end they get free beer.

In total, how many websites have you owned in your lifetime?  What were they based on?
Between 10 and 20.  Many different things really.  I just kinda wanted to do everything and got in over my head on a few - which is why I have some domain names for sale too :p
