"Ludo Star" was not just a game in the hands of young people, as it was able in a short period of time to pull the rug out from many youth games. To compete with an opponent in Brazil and another in Pakistan.
This nascent game or what is called Ludo or Ludo is a board game for two or four people, in which the player has 4 pieces of his own that he moves through dice and the player can eat the pieces of the other player and return it to the starting point, the origin of the game goes back to the game Indian pachisi, but this game is simpler and more known in the world and under different names.
This game gained a great reputation in a short period and created a strange atmosphere and paradoxes, as it imposed a new system and rituals that young people were not accustomed to before. Ludo imposes communication over the Internet to connect you to distant borders and people from diverse cultures.
Rakan Al-Suwaidi says about the game that it is old, but the technology did not enter except a few months ago, and young people did not know it from ancient times, but it gained a great reputation and achieved a wide spread among young people, as the vast majority of young people play it all the time, until it became a major phenomenon among young men and women, and it is One of the games that takes a lot of time, and its idea depends on forming a balance of gold, so you find astronomical numbers and major balances, and from those balances, the rituals of the game begin to attract players.
While Ibrahim Mubaraki confirms that he spends most of his time playing it, he says: Some friends invited me to play Ludo and I did not know it at that time, but with reading and following some friends and using YouTube, I learned its rules, and gradually began to practice it, but with the days and since I reached the first million Until she became all my attention, as time passed and I was between the sounds of the game between a winner and a loser.
But the strange thing that Al-Mubaraki talks about is that the youth began to take it seriously, especially if the gold balances increased, and the young man became keen on acquiring astronomical quantities and numbers, and it is the nature of the game that it gives prestige and prestige among the players.
And Amjad adds, confirming the youth’s madness over Ludo, which is that the credits are being sold on the Internet and on social networking sites, and that others have begun to give gifts to beginners, which leaves a distinct taste for the game among young people, and gains popularity and increases it day by day, until I see that it is the alternative game “for balot”. » Which gained the popularity of the old generation and part of the new generation, we are facing a game that will be immortalized in history.
But the challenges posed by the game on the audience exceeded the limits of reason. Here is Khalil Al-Ghamdi playing in Ludo with more than one account to collect a lot of points, and it came to him that he recruited his younger brothers to play with him and support him to win gold, and offered large accounts for sale, because one account, as he says, is worth a thousand sr approx.
And if the Internet increased the unity and isolation of young people, then the game doubled that problem, and this is what Ali Al-Yami described, as he meets his brothers at home through the game, and spends a lot of time with them in making runs from it, and each of them is in his own room, and he says: Our thinking has become focused on the game and continues. This thinking throughout the day, and in the evening, when everyone returns home, we meet, but through the game as well, and at times each of us is in his room, so we do not see each other directly, but we meet through the game and through “chat”. Until the father and mother became very complaining about the isolation in which we live, and they always scolded us because of it, and my father says that this game took our minds.
The meeting warns of isolation.. and psychology describes it as smart
Psychological counselor Dr. Abeer Al-Khayyat confirmed that Ludo Star is a new electronic game that simulates old games in an innovative way, designed for entertainment and spending free time. Natural, that is, it does not take all of his time and he did not reach the stage of addiction to it, which in turn may weaken the social communication of the individual, which causes him to withdraw into himself and live in his own world for a long time, which may leave an effect on him in the future by isolating him from family and friends meetings. Because of this game or other reasons.
And the social counselor, Dr. Nawal Al-Zahrani, stated that this type of games may have negative social effects, which are not very different from the effects of dealing with social media in that it separates the individual from his social reality, and it also has a role in aborting the growth of social communication among young people, through By isolating them between the walls of this game with a group of comrades in a virtual world, thus depriving him of communication and acquiring skills through his live social environment. However, this game accustoms the senses of the teenager and the young man to indolence and laziness, dulls his emotions and makes him lose his psychological fitness, besides that it creates dishonest competition. In people, as it encourages in them the desire to win, triumph or possess.
Game Mania Open online auctions to sell points
The avidity of collecting points and reaping gold in the Ludo Star game created a large electronic market for selling strong accounts, through sites dedicated to buying and selling, or through the social networking site “Twitter”, as the selling and “gym” merchants showed, which put many questions and imposed signs Surprisingly, how can a game for entertainment turn into buying and selling and opening auctions via the Internet? Firas Al-Marwani is a young man in his twenties. He started the game for entertainment, and with the passage of days he stumbled through its stages and did not earn much gold. To keep up with his young peers, he decided to resort to a commercial site and search for Accounts that record large balances, Firas says, for a small amount that did not exceed one hundred riyals. I bought a balance of more than one hundred million points, while he confirms that others buy ready accounts that exceed this number much, and all this is done as a matter of bragging in front of colleagues and friends, while they do not know the truth about my purchase. And the illusion that I won it through the stages of play.
While Ali Al-Hakami is thinking of offering his account for sale, especially since he owns half a billion gold, which is a large number that he achieved after three months of continuous play, interspersed with stages of winning and stages of losing, ending with this balance, and Ali is expected to bring him more than a thousand riyals, so there are those willing Many people buy these accounts, especially those that achieve record numbers.
At the same time, he points out that the market was not only in Saudi Arabia, as there are young people in other countries who have a great obsession with this game.
Hummers blackmail girls via "chat"
Girls broke into the world of Ludo Star and became gamers by reaping millions of gold, and it may be almost the only game that attracted large numbers of them, and they began to compete with young men for supremacy, but the game imposed itself on the women’s center and became disturbing many girls who left tasks Home and some homework in order to reach advanced stages of the game, Noha Al-Salmi says that she is not obsessed with electronic games, but this time she found herself attracted to the magic of Ludo, and despite her belief in the great mistake she made in spending her time without interest, she became a prisoner of the stages imposed by it. The game, and Al-Salmi adds that she meets many girls around the world and matches them for gold, and just as Saudi women drowned in panting behind Ludo, we find that girls from Europe and from different parts of the world are playing the same game, with the same passion and more.
Nawal Al-Saadi adds that she opened an account a month ago from now, but during the last period I knew that I had fallen into the trap of pleasure, as it depends on skipping certain stages and earning more gold and the more you earn your eye on earning more, but the big mistake that Nawal considers a disaster is that some students have become They take their mobile phones to school and play during leisure classes and during school breaks, considering that this is a kind of madness that causes users to make mistakes.
Al-Wadiani’s wish increases: There are girls who play Ludo during their official working hours, including teachers and others who are employees in banks and private companies. Indeed, many girls have become prey to some hummers in the game and a telephone relationship begins between them in order to obtain gifts of gold from them, as the game gives contestants Communication via chat rooms, blackmail and solicitation of girls is located.
She believes that communication via chat between young men and girls is one of the mistakes imposed by the game, as it enables many young men to trap girls, especially young girls, and believes that it is necessary for young girls to monitor their families and close the chat feature, and assure them that this is just a game that does not progress or delay And they should be careful.
The sound of the dice during official working hours reveals the delay in transactions
If you go to a government department and meet a young employee playing with his mobile phone from under the table, and does not care about the reviewers, make sure that he is at a dangerous turn in “Ludo”, and perhaps close to the end, and if you hear the sound of dice on a wooden table, make sure that it is a mobile game, and the employee is busy until he finishes "Value".
This scenario is not a figment of imagination, but a fact that disturbs many auditors, and this is what happened with Muhammad Al-Zahrani, who resorted to one of the government departments, and while he was near the reception counter, he says: I noticed that the employee did not answer my questions with focus, as he was absent-minded and his eyes You focus on something under the office table, and after waiting for a response to me, any service, but I didn't take long, because I discovered that he was playing a game on his mobile phone, and after a few days I got to know the game, and I learned that many young people had robbed them and kidnapped their interest.
Despite its beauty and splendor, it has become annoying to many reviewers. Another situation is told by one of the employees in a private company, he says: During my work, I opened the game and made a great way in it, and during a period of concentration, a reviewer spoke to me inquiring about something, and when he noticed Ali straying, he understood that I was busy with Ludo. He laughed and took my phone away from me, closed the game, opened a new stage, and gave me a large amount of credit from his account. At that time, I knew that he was one of the hackers who preceded me and had more than a quarter of a billion points.
On the other hand, a number of private sector departments began to impose on employees, especially young people, not to use mobile phones to a large extent, after monitoring a number of employees preoccupied with electronic games, while companies distributed circulars threatening deductions and warnings in the event that violations of this kind were discovered.
