The Void

Well, what can I say? There's not a whole lot going on with SWATcash at the moment. However, I'll still try to make a short post noting some of the little things.

First off, the August contest is pretty close to an end, and I feel confident that I will place in the top 5 for bp spent (I've spent somewhere over 35,000 bp). I'm also confident I won't place in any of the other categories. I didn't do any offers this month, and didn't get any referrals who made it past payout, but the good news (I guess it's good news) is that you can only win in one category, so that doesn't really matter and I can save my offers for a future contest.

In other news... It was announced today that new members will be required to verify a pin number if they want to use Paypal to recieve their money. As it is I think there are huge amounts of unclaimed money from people who just register, do a few offers than leave. Some people even do $100+ in offers and never seem to come back. While this new feature is designed to prevent fraud, one can't help but notice that this will raise the amount of members who disapear never to recieve payment.

That's pretty much it for now. I'll try to come up with some helpful tips to post next time.

Long Time No See

I would like to apologize to all my faithful readers (all three of you) because I haven't posted anything for such a long time. This is partially because of school starting and me having to scramble around signing up for classes, going to parties, and well yea, it's been a busy few weeks. However, I'd like you bring you guys and gals back up to speed on recent events.

Let me start off by saying that I was extremely surprised on how accurate my guess was on the Capture system. I mean I didn't get everything right, but all I really had to work on was the word capture so I'm pretty impressed with myself. That being said, I was disappointed that they didn't add a use for vehicles yet. Maybe next time!

Another feature that I am excited about is the 50/50 chance you get of winning if your attack is the same as the other members defense. Apparently, this feature has been around for quite some time, but the effects haven't been noticed until recently. I think this was a much needed system because previously it was almost entirely pointless to get 36 attack. Now it can be of a great use for those of us who use the world map a lot and for the people trying to compete in the ladder.

Now onto the recently announced August contest. In my humble opinion, SWATcash really needed to do a contest that was meant more for the veteran members this month. I say this because many people were unhappy with the results of the July Raffle, and felt that most of the winners were newer members who wouldn't even necessarily claim their prizes. Now with this new contest the only aspect that those of us who did 60 or more offers last month can really hope to win is the Most BP Spent category. I'm guessing that most the people who win the other categories will once again be brand new members who won't necessarily stay active, and those who commit fraud.

I know this post was pretty short, I will try to find time and post on a more regular schedule.
