Eager Zebra has taken over

Posted by Lemeechi on 2025-11-06 12:03:44 in SFI Diary (204 views)

On August 1, SFI President Gery Carson had announced the “merger” of SFI with GreatLife Worldwide. This in essence meant managing affiliates had ended at SFI, and affiliates were advised to go join GreatLife, paying for the first month of membership with Rewardicals. However, life still goes on, for those not keen on joining GreatLife. The SFI website still comes up, though without all the bells and whistles it used to have. The Games Division, Eager Zebra on TripleClicks, is still very much active, allowing members to generate Rewardicals. Once the Rewardicals hit 52,500 you can then turn them into $35 worth of Bitcoin. The following are my selected activities since August.

Two-day introductory Printwiser Estimating training for two employees of GlobalPlus Publishing Ltd kicked off in Lagos. The course covered the Printwiser software environment, estimate entry, calculations and comprehensive reports generation, as well as issuing data retrieval queries. Continuing from last month, further technical support was provided for another Printwiser client on the feature of switching databases in the latest version 10.5. This included the creation of the initial version of a database update utility program to apply an SQL script against two databases. The client then further requested the optional Quotation Request option of Printwiser Estimating, and areas of customization were discussed.

Technical support was provided for a Printwiser user on the feature of switching databases in the latest version 10.5.

SFI has merged with GreatLife

Posted by Lemeechi on 2025-08-06 11:22:27 in SFI Diary (144 views)

On August 1, 2025, SFI President Gery Carson announced a merger with GreatLife as the final end of SFI affiliate management activities. This came as a big surprise. Affiliates were advised to join GreatLife, paying for the first month’s membership costing $49 with 19,000 Rewardicals. Although claiming to be too old at 64 years to continue managing SFI affiliates, Mr Carson did say that Eager Zebra Games (TripleClicks.com) and Rewardical.com would still be managed by him. Three new ZCredit packs were introduced in place of the former FDM memberships. So what exactly did he mean by “merger?”

The most significant change in SFI of 2025 is, no more dollar commission payouts. That ended in November of 2024. Now, it is all about Rewardicals, in terms of what affiliates can get. The next is a new “flagship” product, Fun.Money, that offers “4-in-1” access to Eager Zebra Games, ECommergy, Elevation Mall and SFI itself. Rewardicals are basically benefit points obtained a number of ways, including FDM memberships, Eager Zebra Games, Badge Quest, Daily Grand and Daily Crown drawings, and more. You can then redeem or exchange them for Bitcoin, FDM memberships, ZCredits and other items.

My fastest sighting of 2 white foxes in HIDDEN

Posted by Lemeechi on 2025-02-13 06:00:29 in SFI Diary (255 views)

When playing HIDDEN, sighting a white or albino fox at the end of a winning round is usually a rare thing indeed! But something amazing happened on February 9, 2025. The very first fox that showed up after completing the very first word of game 6300700 was a white one. Not only this, another white fox turned up after the second word, making it two whites in a row! This happened within seconds, and so it turned out the day I sighted the pair of white foxes the fastest.

The new year 2025 hit me with a surprise on logging into SFI: I had finally achieved Grand Master status in SFI Badge Quest! The realization dawned on me while playing HIDDEN. When I opened the Rewardicals Ledger to copy out my winnings at the end of a game, I saw the 2,000 Rewardicals awarded to me for the feat.
