Seems Somer Blink has a number of Shrills working for them one to point out just from watching the rorqual blinks is Gerson Way .. Just saying perhaps peeps should looks at the top winners and what they are winning.. Oddly enough .. rorquals, plexes and moros'


And here I thought a "shrill" (loved that one!) would just buy one ticket and let the lottery make some money off the other 11 tickets Gerson is buying and losing with.

And another big surprise, I thought all the big winners would be winning raptors and harpies. It never occurred to me that the big winners would be winning high value prizes after buying 75% of the tickets. You have really opened my eyes.

Or maybe "Shrill" is a new hip urban dictionary entry I've just never seen before and it means "a person who puts more at risk to increase the chance of winning, but mostly just ends up winning their own ISK back by only having 25% of the available risk being shared by four other tickets." Maybe it is like "sick" being a good thing - Groovy!

Relatively new player here who decided to give blink a try. I tend to eat up most of my ratting ISK in-game due to being a reckless/moronic combat pilot, however have recently promo-blinked a Revelation. After station-spinning the thing for 30 minutes and staring at my screen, I still have no idea what to do with myself.

Much thanks SOMER Blink!

30-day GTC give 100M, so it sounds like you got a 30-day one.

So you're approaching 1 Quadrillion (Which is an amazing achievement btw and congrats).

What would be REALLY nice to see is some achievements that come out not solely based around just the money put in but a real recognition of the players who got you there from the beginning. Before you hit 100 trillion for example.

Everything is geared about where we are as players NOW and where you are NOW but you seem to have forgotten the hundreds (not thousands and 10's of thousands of players) who brought you through the early milestones and got you there. Or maybe even hybrid achievements that reflect isk invested + time served to avoid the promo only players.

It's just a thought but it would be a nice

And now, if you're lucky, you'll get a snippy response from a NON-blink employee, berating you for your selfishness both for suggesting that you get more achievements AND for expecting a reply, and about how poor blink staff are inundated with complaints and requests and how they don't have time to listen to YOUR whining and how you should be happy with what you do have and...

Alternatively, he posted a question that could be answered, while you posted a suggestion to give you more stuff that doesn't need an answer. If you'd like, you can mail me from your Blink character (the one you posted from doesn't seem to be registered) and I'll be happy to walk you through the achievements you were given that can't be earned by modern players, that were for isk invested or time played. :)

My account was disabled because I was at a friends house when I signed up for Blink. Your system thought that I was one user signing up for multiple accounts. Can you please reactivate my account? It is the same name as here, soad2237. Thanks.

We plan on giving you "blink birthday" achievements based on the amount of time registered on the site, at some point. Needs cost analysis first.
