#MastersMoments.... MastersMoments.com... For those of you who know me, especially those who are close to me, this will be rhetoric. lol-but true When you think of #MastersMoments, what is the 1st thing that comes to your mind ? The 1st thing I think of and always have, is 'The Masters' golf tournament. That is one of the reasons I own the domain, MastersMoments.com which I purchased some 14-15 years ago with the intention of one day presenting it to 'The Master's' committee and/or their marketing team. Now, I've bought and sold several domains over the years, but I've also held onto several that I think have huge monetary marketing potential. This is one of them. Turns out I'm probably correct, because here's the thing, the explosion of social media has changed the whole playing field with just about every decent idea. Timing is everything along with some forward thinking and a little luck. So I started reaching out to people on the Augusta side and people in other areas that I envisioned #MastersMoments would fit. I've received inquiries from several(including a business group out of Saudi-crazy). But what's funny is, out of them all the one place I thought was the 'hole in one' is the one who hasn't responded. It's a shame that a couple Ivy League Colleges are more interested in MastersMoments.com than the one place I originally thought was the perfect fit. That's the reason I'm posting this, I would like some feedback/thoughts before I move forward. Either way, the monetary gains will be there, but I'm still a loyal American and have certain beliefs that sometimes take precedent over the moola !?

Title: "The Player's Redemption" Introduction: Our protagonist, let's call him Alex, has spent years deeply immersed in the world of gaming, particularly the "Deus Ex" series. His passion for the games influences his career choice as a security guard, where he often daydreams about being a cybernetically enhanced agent like JC Denton or Adam Jensen. Rising Action: Despite his dedication to gaming, Alex's life takes a downturn. Due to circumstances beyond his control, he finds himself on the wrong side of the law and is sentenced to serve time in jail. As he enters the confines of the prison, he realizes that the violent games he once enjoyed are prohibited within its walls. Conflict: At first, Alex struggles to adapt to his new reality. Without the distraction of gaming, he's forced to confront the consequences of his actions and the emptiness in his life. His fellow inmates, initially skeptical of the former gamer turned security guard, mock him for his past obsession. Turning Point: However, as time passes, Alex begins to reflect on his choices and the direction his life has taken. Without the constant stimulation of video games, he starts to appreciate the simple moments and forms connections with his fellow inmates. Through his interactions, he learns valuable lessons about empathy, resilience, and the importance of human connection. Resolution: As Alex serves out his sentence, he undergoes a profound transformation. He discovers a newfound sense of purpose and decides to use his skills and knowledge to help others, both inside and outside of prison. Inspired by the themes of justice and redemption in the "Deus Ex" games, he becomes an advocate for prison reform and works towards creating a better future for himself and those around him. Conclusion: In the end, Alex emerges from prison a changed man. While his passion for gaming never fully fades, he realizes that true fulfillment lies in making a positive impact on the world around him. With his newfound perspective, he sets out to carve a new path for himself, one guided by the principles of compassion, integrity, and hope. This story explores themes of redemption, self-discovery, and the transformative power of human connection, all set against the backdrop of a gaming enthusiast's journey through adversity.
