Offer pending

Leave a comment

I’ve got two offers that haven’t been credited, so I am holding off on doing more smartphone games until I get my Swagbucks.

I played the Grand Mafia game through the Revenue Universe offer wall on a doubler. It is similar to Mafia City with some slight rearrangements to action order. I finished the offer in 6 days. The terms were to reach mansion level 17 within 40 days.

I aced that lol. I saved up 24k gold and paid my way from mansion level 14-17. Although it is likely that fast level-up that has me stuck pending. Oh, and the support sucks. The support team on the app store referred me to the in-game GM, which doesn’t work.

The other game is War & Magic: Kingdom Reborn. That was through Ayet Studios and I needed to reach 1 million power and make an in-game purchase. This was also on a doubler and I should get 2312 SB.

The problem is they only rewarded me for reaching 1 million power and not the purchases I made. Worse yet I was only given the normal reward which is 816 SB.

I couldn’t submit a help request from Ayet Studios because the offer wall said I had no points pending and it doesn’t give you the option to dispute rewards.

I emailed them after much scouring of the internet only to be referred to the Pending support option which was not available to me in the first place.

At the moment I am waiting on Swagbucks support to get back to me about War & Magic. Revenue Universe was contactable through their offerwall thankfully.

Worst of all I recently did Looney Tunes Mayhem on an offerwall for 540SB and I see it today on Swagbucks for 2000SB. What a loss.

Finished Afk Arena (3108SB) and Looney Tunes World of Mayhem(540) both on 2x.

Investing Update

I’ve been buying SPACs lately. I picked up 10 shares of Energy/Environment searching SPAC and set half to sell at $20 and the rest at $25-30.

I have had many successes as these are hot industries currently. Electric cars are another category that is profitable for a small initial investment.

I put in $100-150 to start and get back $125-150 in profits once all positions are cleared. I am missing some bigger wins by not holding longer but I avoid potential losses too.

There are 3 Spac’s that I am holding in SoFi that are long-term positions. WPF, BFT, and VGAC. BFT will become Paysafe which I expect will hit the hundreds later this year as it competes with Paypal. Vgac is Sir Richard Branson’s SPAC and I am a fan, also I am of British descent so I am biased. Lastly, Foley Trasimene has had a good track record so far and I am eager to see which company gets picked next.

I have 100 shares of BFT, 100 WPF, and 50 VGAC. I also scored big recently on Adamis Pharma which I bought 2000 shares of at $0.40 last year and sold half at $0.80 and the rest at $1.

State of Survival

5 Comments

I got this one done on an AdGem 2x for $56. Reach level 21 in 20 days.

There are tons of guides floating around and redemption codes, so I won’t bother with a walkthrough this time. I did buy the starter pack for a dollar, but I found I didn’t really need it.

Though I did put Lucky and the other ladies in a gallery post.

Make sure you get into an active Alliance. You can get hundreds of chests each day with speedup items that will really help you complete the daily events.

I didn’t have any problems with resources and really didn’t need to train a large army. In fact, gathering resources was largely unnecessary outside of Events.

During my playthrough, a Seasonal Event hit, and there were many extra bonuses available that made this offer easy.

If possible, you should time your start of the offer to coincide with a holiday. You can check the State of Survival social media sites to see what events are upcoming and schedule your start accordingly.

The game had many spammers in the chat, likely bots, given the frequency. PVP was nonexistent, so I never put up a shield, and the offer paid out at level 20. Cakewalk.

This was the first time I’ve had a smartphone game recognize my use of Korean and cater to that. Quite pleasing. 감사합니다

    I can’t really say the town has changed much in the past to decades. The changes that can be seen are rather small, but it is a small town. Perhaps the biggest change was the roof collapse of Griffin’s Restaurant back in 2022.

Swagbucks update

Leave a comment

I am up to 44,475 lifetime SB. I recently finished spending a $250 Amazon GC that I had redeemed from Swagbucks.

I mostly play games or sign up for banking apps. I just finished playing Chief Almighty. Did it in 22 days and received 1,464 SB on a 2x offer from REVNU. I also completed a new game called Battle Night on AdGem. That one got me 720 SB and I did it in 4 days.

I’ll take a short break from gaming to focus on my investments. The next game on my list is State of Survival, either on AdGem or OfferToro depending on whichever gets doubled first.

On the investments, I have compiled a list of stocks that pay nice dividends. I’m calling it my Golden List and it is mostly monthly paying dividends. I’ll put up a site page for the list to show my earnings over time.

Game Guide: Coin Master

1 Comment

Join millions of players around the world, in attacks, spins, and raids, to build your Viking village to the top!

Install and complete All Villages below within 30 days to earn Up to 4,600 SB.

Direct link to offer: https://www.swagbucks.com/offer?oid=23496&rb=69384823

The offer complexity has changed a lot since I originally completed it. I think my original advice remains the same. Raid other players frequently, get free spins from the official Facebook page, and be willing to make some small purchases.

Back when I had done Coin Master, they had a time limit of 7 days. Now the limit is 30 days, so I do think you should be able to get much further.

Return to Casino games

That went fast. I was able to complete the objective in less than a day. maybe 13 hours altogether?

I spent 2 dollars on some extra spins although I think that may have been unnecessary. I was able to get free spins and coins from a fan page over the last 3 days. That was enough to reach level 4 and get the Foxy pet. After that, I got all I needed from Raiding other players.

The bonuses run every few hours and many overlap so it was very easy to finish this Swagbucks offer. That’s another 2,000 SB.

Victory and Defeat

2 Comments

It all happened in one day. I made it to 5,000 Favor and got my Celestial Mount.

Finally, here in the 3rd season of the Hardcore League, I have survived.

So now for the defeat.

I won’t go into great detail for privacy/legal reasons. But I was visited by the police and they took things from the house. I got a copy of the warrant, and I will be getting called in a few days to turn myself in.

I have, on occasion, expected an encounter like this for some time and will cooperate fully.

I don’t know if this is my last posting or not.

To be clear, I have no intentions at this time of possibly harming myself. I cannot speak to the future unknown, but I will try to finalize the assorted parts of my life here.

I just realized I am going to miss all of those gold rolls and the picture of me on the mount is with the police.

Offline

Well, yesterday the data servers had an outage after some massive lag spikes.

Wall of red text during/after the lag as people died in dungeons. Then just everything crashed.

It did come back online, and I was able to play some, but was only willing to do things on Normal mode with the panic button (royal guard mask) ready.

Today, when I got home from work, I found the game was once again offline.

So I played around on some single-player stuff, but it didn’t really tickle my fancy.

I did manage to log in at Cannith for a while to get my Daily Gold Roll, got some junk and exp, nothing important.

I am a bit disappointed I was not able to get my gold roll on the Hardcore server today. Though I am still alive, so that is good. I am just 279 Favor points away from getting the 5k favor reward, the Celestial Mount.

Getting there

Leave a comment

I am still alive and banking the full “Three Lives to Lose” status. I have noticed the mobs are starting to have some bite to their attacks, especially the casters.

I am level 17 and I have 3735 favor, so just 1265 to go. I have cleared most of the level 15 and 18 quests since there are so many groups around running the higher stuff. I do need to complete Siegebreaker and Mired in Kobolds before I can safely take level 18.

I’ll need a group for Siegebreaker due to the traps at the boss fight, and for Mired in Kobolds, I could handle the dragon, but it would take forever to kill it, so extra DPS would be a blessing.

My guild leader from Cannith, who is playing on Hardcore for the first time, sadly died in Keeper’s Sanctuary.

A Thraak hound got him while he was going to disable the traps. He had reincarnated once already and was level 12, but had already lost his extra life.

I have started a new Reaper toon using the Bladeforged iconic since they are so immune to everything. 3 Paladin, 3 Sorcerer, and 14 Warlock is the plan.

I took Cacodemon as my pact and will use Spellsword Acid to spread my damage potential out. Ice, Acid, Light, and Force.

I’ll go sword and board initially, and then as the reapers get tougher, I will respec and switch to blasting.

Still alive

Leave a comment

Well, it looks like the game recognized I was disconnected, and it logged me out.

So, I am still alive for now.

I made it to level 10 and got my Bariovian battleaxe. I am now flagged for Shadow Crypt and Bloody Crypt.

I can go and get my Silver Flame nugget upgraded. I also need to farm the Ravenloft sets soon.

I am sitting at 1200 Favor currently with 228 Reaper exp from a short/safe pike.

Anxiety

Leave a comment

So I was running Red Fang, and my internet dropped.

Turns out my ISP is doing maintenance. I had almost killed a spider and had maybe called in my hirelings before DC; can’t be sure.

It’s the Hardcore server, so if the game didn’t log me out when I DC (disconnected), then I am dead and will have to start a new character. I was banking level 8, but I don’t know if that counts for the extra life, or if that was something I needed to claim.

Not enough info on those just yet.

I asked my guild leader if he had seen my name in red, but he didn’t catch it. Lots of other names, but that is to be expected on Hardcore.

All day, you see notifications of players dying to various things.

I’ll have to wait and see come the morning. I am quite anxious right now, and I suspect my sleep will be fraught with challenges.
