Hello Titanium Plg,

somehow I got this:

Item
Item
Item 3

Rifter
Rifter 2

- it is sorted by names now
- there are seperated groups now
- and the sum of the items in a group is now calculated correctly

Still have not:

- how to reduce the goups to one shown name of the item/ship

Have not much experience with csv - using OpenOffice(mostly for writing articles...)

An ig overview would be nice, too - so that you don´t need to switch between programms and calculated it all new everytime you win,...

Ty

P.S.: Why don´t you reply and blocked me,..is it so easy for you that you are unable to explain? Politeness seems a matter of luck i guess^^

    hi i just signed up and deposited 250m, i won 1 prize (ishtar) and refunded it to blink credit, besides that i did not won anything else.
    i wanted to get a naga so i tried to bet on it, as you can see on SS i didn't get any. a lot of gambling and no luck ?

    the sole reason i tried it was cos of the positive comments on forums here, and with 20% tax you take of every blink played i was thinking i was gonna lose around 20-50% of my isk deposited, but i lost all.

    so just look at this http://imageshack.us/g/600/loseroc.jpg/ and then judge me, my intention is not to trol here, just asking is it possible that i am the only unlucky person playing somerblink SadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSad


    so my question is how much do i have to deposit, to see some of my isk come back. cos @somerblink everyone is a winner, how do i become a winer.

    Hi gelender, first of all welcome to Blink.

    Secondly all I can say is you are extremely unlucky in this case. I can see you tried many times to win a Naga and unfortunately it did not happen for you. It is not uncommon to see losing streaks like yours, I myself have had some big losing streaks, as have a lot of people. On the other hand, I and many other people have had some large winning streaks, its purely statistical.

    The thing is that Somer uses a site called random.org to produce the random numbers for blink. This is probably one of the only websites that can produce a truly random number.

    While I can sympathise with you for not winning please dont think there is someone preventing you from winning, it is purely unlucky or lucky for every single player.

    People will always try and say a system is rigged but in this case it isn't. Dont listen to those that say it is, Somer has always been open about the code she uses on the site and you will not meet a more professional corporation in Eve.

    All I can say is if you can afford it, continue to blink, your time will come trust me. However if you cant afford it, please gamble responsibly and most of all have fun!

    Gelender, Somer is like any other gambling, you will lose more than you win. This is why it is operated, to make a profit for the owners. If you are trying to use blink as a way to make ISK, that is a bad plan. If you use blink as a fun way to spend some extra ISK you have laying around, with an outside chance that you may make some more ISK, that is the way to do it. Just like in Vegas, the house always wins. Play for fun, not for profit.

    yes ofc, as i said was planning to lose 20-50% of my deposit, but it all melted in a short time Sad, anyways i had another go with it this time with 400 mil, had 2 winnings worth around 350mil, refunded it to credit and lost all again Oops

    although i must say gambling was never for me, never had luck at it. even with best chances to win i loseSmile

    so imo when you have 1bil isk to toss away, blink just might be a good way to do it, its a good 30-40 min of gambling Big smile

    good luck, and have fun all :), see ya when i get a billion or two to toss away Big smile

    Love the Blink...
    Great to have something to so while local is empty, and the channel is always a good hangout spot

    AFK cloaking doesn't earn anything, so it needs a buff!

    Would like to suggest an idea for blink.

    You know how we have random for creating the blink. I would love the random button for just choosing a slot on any blink, also i would love it on promo's so im not having to scroll like crazy to find a slot all the time during the celebrations. Id be ok with just any random slot.

    150 T is coming, two things I'd like to see implemented.

    1 - A get ticket or random ticket (as suggested in the above post) for promos, which just gives you an available ticket. Some people, like me, have a slow computer, that sometimes doesn't handle having Eve, and work stuff, and emails, and Blink with it's nice flash or whatever it is, opened at the same time. So I have missed so many promos during celebrations because I am there when they happen, but by the time I choose a ticket it's already taken, and by the time I want to choose another one, the promo is gone. I don't think many people would be against the idea of having a Promo Blink buton, you click it and it assigns you a random ticket.

    2 - Having the possibility to click on the portraits of the winners (for the bonk, mini bonks) so that we can see their profile. It's working with everything, promos, gigablinks, normal blinks. It should be available for the celebration wins too.

    And "get random ticket" feature is something we'd love to be able to add, but it just isn't technically feasible for the way and speed that things work.

    That said, 150T will be mindbogglingly gigantic - so even if you miss a few, there will be piles, heaps, and wadges more you won't miss :)
