SPRING RAFFLE
Episode 1: A New Struggle
"Aw crap. Not MORE incentive!" Approximately 4 months have passed since the purchase of Beebo_8's first Ultrasaber's lightsaber. Every day, he wielded his Bellicose with honor and excitement. He gazed at the fine arctic blue light flowing from the kyber-neticly soldered wires and boards and stuff that brought his saber to life. He knew, without a doubt, this was
his saber. This feeling kept strong with him for a whole 172,800 seconds.
Beebo_8 knew he was an adult. Mortgage, grocery, utility, and tax payments to make to the First Order, amongst other things, kept his desires for a second saber at bay. And besides, did his role model Jedis from the movies wield two sabers? Did Luke, Obi-wan, or Yoda double fist elegant weapons? Heck no. So why should he? But his emotions weren't kidding himself.
He visited the forums. And what seemed like a leap from total oblivion which is now Alderon (too soon?) before his eyes was a new thread for a totally unexpected spring raffle from the one and only Emory and crew. Fifty (maybe even more???) prizes. Unreleased exclusives (what does THAT mean???). Top-tier saber prizes. And just like that, Beebo's ability to resist became equivalent to a bounty hunter next to a blind guy standing over a Sarlack pit.
He visited Ultrasabers, and being the epitome of creature of habit, selected the "Deal of the Day" button not expecting anything, just as he had 100's of times before but to no avail. But before his eyes, beyond total belief, a picture of his desired saber was revealed. At this point, the bounty hunter of his resistance was being digested by the Sarlack and was no more. He constructed his Archon 2.1 saber with the following relevant options:
* Tri-Cree Consular Green contained by a heavy grade blade
* Obsidian V4 sound granted passage from the hilt via the standard (black and silver) pommel
* Black non-illum AV switch to bring the saber to life (and a request for a black covertec)
And just like that, the deal was done. He submitted his raffle ticket, saved a penny that he will put towards his next order, and joined the ranks of eagerly waiting saber enthusiasts, that not only are waiting for their top-notch sabers, but also to know the fate of their electronic tickets. May the force be with you all and your tickets. Except to the Siths. Selfish pricks.
