Just one more level syndrome

Just one more level syndrome is when a person is playing a video game and the person is unable to stop playing. They continue to play and think they will stop playing after they complete the level and when they do complete the level they just think they'll stop after they complete the next one and so on. The gamer will continue to play despite needing to do other things such as: socializing, doing jobs, going to work, going to the toilet, sleeping, eating and anything else. In more severe cases of Just one more level syndrome people will waste away and die. While they play they will continually think they will stop playing once the level is complete.

Matthew suffered from Just one more level syndrome and was playing a game on his Xbox 360 and it was 3am and he needed to go to sleep. Matthew intended to complete the level and go to bed and when he did finish the level he thought "Just one more level" and he played through the next level. This carried on until Matthew completed the game and upon completetion he thought "Just one more game." Matthew was not able to sleep until he ran out of games.

Multi-Level Marketing

Commonly abbreviated MLM, it's a form of selling a product whereby one person recruits other salespeople, who recruits other salespeople, ad nausea and after each sale, everybody above the salesman gets a small piece of commission. To make money in one (98%+ of people don't), one should place much more emphasis on recruiting than sales. Amway is probably the most well-known MLM.

Many MLMs have "optional" national meetings, motivational books and tapes, and other various expenses. The cost of these comes out of pocket of the individual. As a general rule, if you can be one of the first people to join a successful MLM, you'll make a lot of money, especially if you can sell all of this crap to your downline. However, if you're not in this lucky 1-2%, you'll honestly be lucky to break even in your expenses.

There is some technical difference between a pyramid scheme, which is illegal, and an MLM, which is legal. However, nobody but the high-priced lawyers which keep MLMs in business and stealing the money of its starry-eyed employees seem to know what this difference is.

There are too many Multi-Level Marketing organizations to count. After one is shut down by bankruptcy or the government, two new ones sprout from the ground.
