What a hoax, I try to use number 73 on promos, 9 of 10 times i get the number, last night with all the site problems, 2 promos won with number 73! I clicked on the damn number too and the site crashed no message number was taken at the time!


I understand the problems last night with the DDoS jackasses, who I hope are caught and dealt with. Though blink is an game within a game, the site gets paid real money for click-through for plex sales, so a DDoS attacking a financial website is a little different than a DDoS attacking Aunt Martha's Live cam for watching her house paint dry.

I don't understand the hoax... Oh wait, sorry .. nevermind, I see you are in Brick Squad.

What is the minimum amount of blinks played to be able to roll om promos and how often?

Seen so many characters with only promos as favorite blinks and with two or more in
their last five winnings.

You only have to play one Blink every 48 hours to play in promos, so it costs as little as 2M every 2 days.

Once you've deposited 1B ISK over the lifetime of your account, you can play promos from that point forward for only the 1 token.

I got bankruptcy papers in the mail from the Portland bankruptcy court, and they don't respond to e-mail. I'm pretty sure they're not going to be very helpful.

Alt? Absolutely. But I am not an "alt hiding", I'm right here.

Actually, The Bricks are one of my favorite alliiances. It may have been before your time, it is not worth it to me to look it up, but the leadership of Darius gave so many of us in the incursion community such great laughter when he was going to demonstrate that there was no risk for the isk when doing hisec incursions and promptly spent over an hour losing ships fighting a mothership fleet when an incursion fleet normally took 20-30 minutes in those days and didn't lose more than half the fleet at least a couple of times. As I recall, Darius himself lost a few big ticket Logi ships. Another Mom site was up at the time and when someone asked one of your guys if you were going after that one too. the answer had something to do with "hell no". So Darius ended up losing well over a bil to win 65mil and show there was no risk for the isk. I know the annals of Brick probably have revised that history, but I watched it happen. We were quite amused at the irony and Brick's rep took a nosedive. So, when it comes to understanding things, anyone with the brick tied around their necks was given a pass for not picking up on the obvious.

Botter? There must a chain of "logic" which carried you there from the limited involvement we've had and I still don't get where "hoax" came in. Do you really think Blink arranged a DDoS against themselves so they could fix it so someone won twice on your favorite number? With over 70k accounts, I'm sure they went to the trouble to be sure you weren't holding your fave number when it won not once, but TWICE!

And c'mon - coming from a place like brick, you ought to know that bots don't post on the forums, or maybe they do - I am really not familiar with what bots do, except when we encounter them and mess up there day.

I really liked the 10x and 100x promos recently. I love the idea of winning 10,20,100 cheap ships which would just be begging to be lost roaming out in low.

Trying out all the things to do here in Eve - it's quite a checklist. So I made a blog Jakob's Eve Checklist

You can only see regular blinks played on other players iirc so the character
you are pointing out might have played 1000 promos.

The low blink count of 70 maybe that he/she/it has reached the minimum
played/deposit to leech on promos for a lifetime

Doom got it in one :)

The "Value of Blinks Won" and number of "Blinks Played" on the profile pages are normal, for ISK blinks. It doesn't count promos in either statistic.

I won a Vindicator, 250m blink credit and 10x Drakes on promos almost in a row recently, it happens.

I've been playing blink for a fair amount of time and for the most part it seems to be focused on everybody having fun (as much as thats possible when it comes to gambling) without any undue bias towards the house, that said my gut instinct is that there are mechanisms in play to stop someone potentially abusing the **** out of the site which (assuming they do exist and I have by no means any proof they do) I can see some people taking issue with but ultimately I'd support them being there to keep the site fun.

What Blink really needs is a why that I can deposit Isk while not in EvE..


I like to hit up blink while I'm at work... to hit the Promos.. but would really love to be able to chuck a couple of hundred mill down so play at work.. (I tried a couple of times doing it just before I logged off for the night.. then end up playing with it all in bed on the mobile D=

Yep, it would require an API to allow you to manipulate your wallet outside of the game, likely through Eve Gate or via CREST. It'd be fun!

It means I don't have to waste my in game time ratting and get to focus on PvP

Does the ISK you get for buying plex count towards the achievements of depositing isk to your account? Basically, do I unlock the 1B achievement that removes the 48h limit for buying 4 ETC?
