Hey all,

I know I love my SOMER Blinks, but I intend to unsub my signed up character.
Since you can only operate SOMER Blink from the character you originally signed up with, this raises a question for me.

Can I transfer my SOMER account to another character?

Anybody know?

You could just blink away all your money and cash out and sign up another char and blink from there instead,

Thats the lottery website, which I have.
Exactly where is the support or contact section? I couldn't find it.

Nope, you can't.
Wether it's IP detection or w/e, you can have 4 accounts and try and register one on each, but only the INITIAL registered account can play.

posting in a stealth blink advertisement thread

I still don't believe people win on blink in the long term and it's actually just a scheme to get all my isk.

You mean harmless little scam?

And it's not a sink. A sink would take the isk out of the game. This is just pooling it to whoever is running the scam.

Anyway, back to the question at hand.

A scam? No. A scam implies subterfuge. Anyone who plays any lottery should know they're going to lose money the vast majority of the time. If someone doesn't know this, then they're scamming themselves.

QFT. And if SOMER was indeed a scam-party, I don't think they'd still be rockin' it like they do.

Start watching different movies, you may lose the paranoia.

Scams run through lotteries and other forms of gambling are the easiest to pass undetected. As they control all portions of the lottery, they can pocket what they wish. With the ease of producing alternate characters, they can keep the image of it all being fair. If you lose, you were just unlucky right? Perhaps not.

It's not so much paranoia as experience. EVE is full to the brim with scammers, in fact it's what makes the biggest news about EVE. Lotteries are just the next form of large scale scam.

Exactly which image of it being fair were you fooled by?

The part where you're not in any way guaranteed to win?

The part where all the tickets for a particular BLINK combined add up to more than the cash value of the item being delivered as a prize?

The part where various 'high rollers,' whether real players or BLINK alts win big prizes by purchasing over half the tickets for a given blink?

I fail to see that there was ever an appearance of fairness.

I've made 788mill in blink credits and 350mill in ISK, which translates to 150mill profit.

Not that much, but i'm happy. ^_^
