So, I made an account because I had bought game time from Markee Dragon and was going to use that to get some free SOMER credit. However, I had to wait for them to send me the code and my game time expired. Now I can't log back into my SOMER account or recover my password because it says that my account is disabled, and I thought that might have something to do with it. I sent an EVE mail to Andrev Nox and Somerset Mahm three days ago asking about the issue and have yet to receive a reply. I hadn't even entered any blinks yet, so there is little chance I did something to actually get myself disabled. Is there anything I can do so that I can start playing?



Neither Andrev nor I can find a mail from you, please get ahold of us anytime.

Rigged.
Full of "bot" accounts who win constantly, counted over 15, if they show up on the blink - they win no matter what.
Full of accounts which are created just a few months ago but on sommer blink there are playing from 2012 lol.
And all those fresh accounts with billions of ISK won, yeah tell me more how this is legit!


I suppose you consider me one of the Bot accounts. Not an assumption from a guilty conscious just a knee-jerk reaction to any assertion from the uninformed who pass through frequently. If you think I am a bot, then go after me with all the evidence you have to get me banned. Raise holy hell, or sit back & keep making baseless accusations & play the fool. And while you are at it, suck on rotten eggs & kiss my Patoot!

"win no matter what" Lots of people remember my wins, I'm the only one who notices my losses. Have you noticed the ones who you say will "never lose", at least not when you are keeping notes, are also the ones who are buying half the tickets, or more. Like you, I'm going to make a statement right now which is not backed up by anything but a number I'm pulling out an orifice on my back side - I buy a lot more tickets that lose than win. If I buy 10 tickets & win - you declare me a big winner & add that win to some other wins you see & conclude I win all the time. Remember the other 9 tickets I bought that lost? That 9 risked the same amount as the one which won, so the prize is mostly my own ISK - except on the many times I lose. In fact, a loss with 12 tickets usually takes three straight wins to break even, so when I lose 3 straight Nagls (which is not all that rare for me) it takes 9 wins to break even. 9 straight wins, tell me how many times you see 9 straight wins on a Ngal, by the same player? I'm sure it happens though it has never happened to me, because I believe in random numbers doing what we don't expect them to do. I think anyone vaguely familiar with the theory of probability will tell you it is much more likely to have a loss in four tries than to have 9 straight wins. 3 straight losses may take a week of very careful betting to get the blink wallet back up to where it was beforehand. Remember, Blink & every other casino in the world does not advertise their customer's losses, only how much they won, so Blink has a metric on the stats page called "Value of Blinks Won". Think about what that means.

So you don't have any brain damage, let me help you out. "Value of Blinks Won" is not profit. Winning can involve a loss of ISK Credit in my blink wallet & advances my "Value of Blinks Won" as it is merely a list of every win & no losses. If I buy 16 tickets, I'll win & advance my "Value of Blinks Won" while reducing my blink wallet. You see, I haven't really won anything, I got the prize & got back some of the ISK I bought the tickets with. "Value of Blinks Won" goes up, blink wallet goes down. Eventually, you win yourself broke. If I buy 12 tickets & lose, it takes 3 wins to break even, unless you have a loss in those 3. I'm usually not winning anything, but rescuing the 2.2 bil ISK I will lose if I lose the blink.

"Why would anyone do that?" you ask. There could be other reasons you may never have thought of.
Last week, I went into overdrive to win the 5 bil achievement for passing 12T, another time I won a side bet for 8 supers & about dozen battleships, all poorly fitted.

Maybe I'm the worst addicted to gambling person in the world & my game of choice is Blink - where I can pour real money into imaginary money & lose a lot of it while making idiots think I'm winning. (Keep imagining, but not me)

Maybe I am a old stats man, who never gambled in a casino or bought a single lottery ticket in my life, but have spent a lot of time teaching the Theory of Probability, The Theory of Regression Toward the Mean, & used of lot of gambling scenarios in my lessons & really love to get my hands on large databases so I can become engrossed in a wonderful evening of doing several Multiple Linear Regressions with just a little tweak to one important variable to see how it finally comes out. (Well, maybe a little, but I wouldn't say "engrossed")

Maybe I'm an old guy who retired with a bunch of guys for whom I have a lot of respect & we all get together several times a year & have known each other for at least 35 years or more, & we all have kids & most of us have G-kids who have grown up together as they moved from school to school as the family followed their Soldier/ Father around the world & some of whom play Eve & my buddies want to give them game time but want them to earn it with good grades instead of taking time away from their studies to grind out PLEX, so they deposit the exact amount of money in my PayPal account when the kid has reached a goal which tells me exactly how many GTCs to buy after clicking through Blink to help support their many contributions to the Eve community (to which you are most likely oblivious). I then sell the PLEX to the kids & G-Kids for ISK at a much lower than market price, leaving me with a bonus added to my account for clicking through Blink & some ISK with which to play. "Ah", you say, "RMT!" Sorry, I petitioned it to be sure I was not violating any rules & Sr GM Nova agrees.

Maybe one of my null sec buddies needs a specific Blink Prize & can't find one closer than 60 jumps thru NBSI & tells me he doesn't care what it costs.

Ok, New toon, old blink. If I sold Rep234 to keep a low profile & switched my blink acct to a new toon I just created with a new name to hide out from hate mail & people who accuse before they have any real knowledge of what the hell is going on, so I name the new one "Rep234.1" You'd be wrongly accusing Blink of being "Full of accounts..yada yada," see your baseless complaint above.

Think that answers your last baseless complaint about new toons with millions., too, huh?

U say Rigged? GTFO!

Ok now after the 750Trillion Celebration. After reading the drawing they " draw the winners" I Have to attest this is a scam. Why would somone like Replacement 234 as the there go to person always say hey somer blink is for real well ya no kidding if your winning almost every bonk that has been and what happened to the person that was not even made in game as of yet winning they are gone off there page now you cant even find them.

The odds of somone supposdly so dang high that this person has won so much? on the bonks and mini-bonks? As Chirriba has stated his dice are good. What they do with it is up to them yet I have messed around with this DIce application and yes you can adjust the dice after is has rolled.

Then replacment has posted aswell as being broke when trying to purchase a Char. Yet is low on isk after he/she has won 11,577,280,004,300 ISK as of this posting jjust not possable so with that blink you can kiss this person goodbye.

And on another note They got rid of Shattered Crystal thats fine but Be warned Markee Dragon or what ever its called has ripped me off over $700 so have fun with that one.


I am not Blink's go to guy. I think they would prefer if I kept my mouth shut. But you mentioned my name - You brought me into this and for that I ask you kiss my patoot. I'll give ya an hour to draw a crowd.

To date, I have won two bonks and if my memory serves me correctly six mini-bonks. Andrev has a better record keeping system than I do and he has my full permission to disclose my full bonk and mini-bonk winning and losing record. I've lost mini-bonks when I owned more than 50% of the outstanding tickets. Only recently, did I start making an effort on the Bonks with more than 100 or maybe 1000 tickets but now buying several billion ISK worth of tickets, often over 10 billion. I think the Bonk I put the most ISK on was more that 15 billion and I lost it, but did win a nice mini-bonk that week with just a few hundred tickets, I think. Won nothing in today's drawings. Didja notice?

I don't believe I've tried to buy a char in a very long time at least not for me. I do some 3d party repping. If I activated all of my accounts and filled each slot, I would have 42 toons. I just don't know what I might do with # 43. I do remember some fool several months back posting a quote from the Toon bazaar from when Rep was trying to buy a toon for a client who had given me a limit to spend. In the negotiating I (Rep) gave the buyer a number like 8 billion or something and told the buyer if was all I had! The fool put that quote in (I think this forum) making a big deal about how I could only have 8 billion and few weeks later show up in blink betting billions! His tinfoil hat was screwed on so tight he was sure he had caught a live one.

Rep was a neglected alt I used to buy and sell character and ships for others and I had another toon playing blink - I actually brought that toon in to blink thinking it would only take me a week of two, maybe a month to "out" Blink as a scam like all the other lotteries I had seen come and go. I came to the conclusion it is legit and wanted to get that well trained toon back out of sight, so I changed the Blink account over to Rep, who was really an unknown, except for all the guys in my main corp who used him to buy and sell stuff to their enemies. Just before I changed the original toon out of the blink acct and put Rep in, I had just deposited about 20 or 25 bil in Blink after I was sure it was legit and rep hit the ground running. I answered that accusation back then and here it is again - some other fool only read half of what was available and because it fit his agenda - he sprung it on me again. Really funny when think how stupid someone must be about bargaining. Maybe he thought I should have said, " I have 60 bil, but I can't go over 8 bil, sorry 8.1 is just too high." Send him to me - "Let's make a deal"

You, like so many others, fail to understand "Value of Blinks Won" I've explained in this forum several times how that has nothing to do with profit. My most recent explanation of it is real close by, but so as not to take the suspense out of the exploration feature of Eve, I'm not going to give you any further hints.

Blink did not get rid of Shattered Crystal. It is well known that Shattered Crystal (the residential house listed on their bankruptcy filing with Multnomah County, OR. is less than a 20 minute drive from my house) stopped paying affiliates for click-thrus & then the bankruptcy.

Many suffer gambler's remorse, and frankly, severe gambler's remorse is an early symptom of addiction to gambling. It is in the best interest of anyone with gambler's remorse to quit gambling or being in close proximity to where gambling is occurring. No one sets out to become addicted to anything, but some do become addicted to things like caffeine, running or even unnecessary hand washing. It is the addictions which negatively interfere with our lives, like narcotics/alcohol or gambling are the ones which destroy people's lives and drive their loved ones away. So anyone who thinks he or she should step away, should probably step away. The internet is full of good and bad information about every kind of addiction, so I urge anyone who feels discomfort to become knowledgeable of the symptoms and avoid them. I'm not saying this to anyone in particular because no one can declare another as being addicted to anything because that never serves any purpose but to anger and alienate. Each person must learn the symptoms and make a determination if the symptoms match their own behaviors and feelings. If you feel as though you may be in jeopardy of an addiction to anything, check your local yellow pages. speak to someone you trust, perhaps a clergyman or a social worker at a local hospital, even your doctor and you will be put in touch with those who can help.

i have technicly won over 40 billion isk but that is no profit, i have actually lost alot of iso. and as for the bonks. its because replacment invests a hell of alot of tonkens into it as to why she usualy wins. i can bet that you have not invested over 30k mini bonk tickets into a mini bonk. i won a mini bonk just once and i am grateful for that but honestly if you do think its a scam dont play. and as to the guy who claims he lost over 700$ to markee dragon, if it is true the i am sorry for your loss.

as to replecment dont anyone try and call her a bot she plays the game and she seems to be lucky. she is right we have no idea as to how much she has invested and lost. so dont come here on the post and start wiening about you tiny losses. i dare you to invest more then a meer 10 million isk and see how you do. who know you might win alot or you might lose it all.

there are also other gambling sites out there. These sites make a profit off of those who are stupid. so when you play make sure you play smart or GTFO.
