Surely if Somer Blink wants to be considered a legitimate player corp, they would tell CCP that they are perfectly capable of managing on their own and do not need special treatment/gifts from them.

This is not a signature.

If this is supposed to be the rewards for community service, why does community is not being informed?

Give a list of all fan services you want to rewards and just give out stuff publicly. Once a month or something. To Eve-Radio, E-Uni, RVB, whatever.
Like in real life, you want to rewards some community organizations, you gather press-conference, give them gifts, make some cool photos, promote whatever you want to promote, encourage what you want to encourage in these organizations.

Apparently these ships are not supposed to be unique or limited and designed to be used as event rewards. So it should be Ok.

But in this case its not an event rewards, its some under-the-table gifting, which smells badly. Are more of these gifts going around?

There is a proper way of doing things... and there is :ccp:

Looking at the date of that evemail, i think that was arranged before that story exploded. Its just that only now some hidden details are coming to light. Some things CCP failed to mention during previous scandal.

I am sure that, like myself, many players were drawn again and again into Eve because of
GHSC assassination plot stories
Burn Jita
Hulkageddon
player-created videos
giant ponzi scheme news coverage
dynamic player-generated political content
lotteries with bad implied odds.

This whole mess (free Ishukone Watch Scorpions) just has to be someone setting CCP up to look bad, because the alternative, that CCP has done it, is simply appalling.

I think, I hope, I am defending the integrity of CCP here.

Well, it's like the lottery, but it's in space. What a community service!

Running a highly profitable business is not 'community service', its a highly profitable business.

Blink is not a community website, it's a genious way to make insane amounts of ISK

Why this needs to be rewarded with unique items is beyond me, it isn't like the Blink guys couldn't afford to buy all the special edition ships they ever wanted.

Well apparently somer falls under "educational" part of what they want to reward. Lotteries usually teach people how to lose all their money on a gamble.
But by that reasoning, scammers and gankers should be rewarded as well. They teach players a sad truth about eve.

By the way, why where they rewarded ? They are not even a true community website ! They are not participating in making non-profitable events. Every Blink mathematically gives them money.

EDIT : What worries me is the fact that this leak is probably only the tip of the iceberg. We can't be sure that something like that didn't already happen in the past.
