Triple Cash Day - "I pity the fool who does not take advantage of this day"

     Today is Saturday, and I have less than twelve hours to get to 7-11 and back to redeem the SC cards I will buy.  I am definitely going to buy at least two $10 cards.  I could buy three.  That would give me $90 worth of SC.  That would last me a while.  To buy two will probably be enough, though.  That will give me $60 worth.
     Today is the day to get Lifetime Membership.  On triple cash day, it only costs $20.  Great is the Clone Wars Fool who does not take advantage of this.
     Meanwhile, the Umbara Battlefield is going great.  It is a pretty big area, and the kids can run around and kill as much as they want.  However, you only get two credits for each kill, and if you die, and pay to respawn at the same place, there goes all of your efforts down the tubes.  In other words, it is not a good place to make money.
     The zone is similar to the zombie zone in Star Wars Galaxies, where you just kill one after another until it sickens you.  That game is now defunct, sadly.  I'm surprised they just didn't switch it to free to play.  There is an emulator for that game, so maybe I could play it that way, but I don't know if that is any good.  I like official games, not the hack-offs.
     I'm seeing the reason how this blog will be useful for me.  I can write about things in Clone Wars that I don't have time for in a video.  Also, I can really work out my thoughts regarding the game.  That prospect has suddenly become interesting.
     One thing about being on the battlefield is, that if you talk too much, you may die.  It has happened to me several times, where some kid will start chatting away, and so much is going on that I don't notice that my health bar is going down.  The issue is compounded if two kids are talking to me at the same time.
     I didn't find out about that you could get shadow armor by doing the collection in the Umbara zone.  That gives a reason to be there, because I was trying to figure out what the point of it was.  Running around in a war zone gets old pretty fast unless you are going after something and have a purpose.  A friend of mine helped me to find a lot of armor canisters, so that is one thing I can do for people which is to help them find the little shining beacons.  Somebody is helping me to find them, so then I can pass that act of good will along and help other people.  The reason is that they are very difficult to find.  Helping somebody in a video game is A Noble Act of God, sometimes more important than helping people in real life.  It certainly means a lot more.  So many people have helped me, especially in EverQuest, that in honor of those people, I must help others, or at least provide some kind of service if I can.
     So, I have my work cut out for me.  I have to write my articles here, and then go home, jump on my bike, and ride to 7-11. 
     I don't know a store that sells Clone Wars cards in this area, so I have to ride into town.  Fortunately, it doesn't take long.

     Let's see, anything else that I want to mention about Clone Wars right now?  I'm not sure at this moment, except dirk wampaflash2 was a 'Cling Kid' yesterday, following me around all the time.  It was getting annoying after a while.  I hope he doesn't do that anymore.  I need my space.
     Also, Deannik Blackson always wants me to visit his house.

     I wanted to mention that in the war zone, kids have figured it out that all you have to do is follow somebody, and they do all the killing, and then you look for armor beacons.  How annoying is the person who does that.  So now, not only do I have to be careful of enemies shooting at me, but of kids trying to steal my hard-earned treasure. 
     "Little Bastards," is all I can say.

     This is the second Triple Cash Day they have had.  The last one was last summer around July 4th.  So, for two days a year, you can really stock up on SC.  I pity the fool who does not take advantage of this day.
