Somers altruistic contributions to the community are truly praiseworthy.

It's like all those benevolent cigarette companies that used to sponsor sporting events out of the kindness of their hearts.



Camel Joe is the kindest benefactor of them all.

Screw that Red Cowboy guy.

I wouldnt call it skill. With some Logic and paying attention, you can figure out pretty fast how to make ISK on SomerBlink!
Every Month i buy a 60Day GTC via the Somer Affiliate system. Which in return gives you 200 Mill. Somer Credits.

First i turn those 200 Mill into 600 Mill. by buying Tickets for smaller prices, like BC or Tech3 Cruisers. Then when i have the 600 Mill. I go for the Carriers or other Cap ships and in no time i can claim a win of 1.5 - 2 Bill. ISK

In the end i didnt even had to invest anything cuz i got those 200 Mill. credits as a gift for buying the GTC. So in the end you get the value of 5 PLEX for the price of 2.


i'm sorry to say it but your "system" is nonsense because there is no "system" for winning lotteries the same way there is no system for winning jackpots at slot machines



This isnt really a system, its just how i do it and it works for me every time. You might be right that there is no system to win a real lottery but this isnt real, there is a randomizer application that is picking the numbers. Since that application was written by a person, there is a system behind it.

Doesn't matter if they're a positive factor or not, they don't need rewards or favours. Their reward is the absurd amount of profit they rake in every day. This profit is also known as "the only reason Somer Blink exists", by the way.


"Look any reason why you need to talk like that? I have now reported you. I dont need to listen to your bad tone. If you cant have a grown up conversation then leave the thread["

I thought they were just a "casino" organisation that hosted a gambling game which requires no skill, and due to rake, ultimately loses the players money.

Am I missing something here with SOMER? Is there a skill based element to their game?


No, you're not missing anything.

It's a gambling site just like all the RL gambling sites out there.

The only difference is that you can either play with ISK or real money (buy GTC, get Blink credits).

As with any other gambling site it will feed the addiction of those that can't help themselves and it's quite possible that at some point it will lead to some poor sod actually spending more than they can really afford in real life moneys due to their 'need' to win a shiny ship.

Yes, just like all businesses that are inherently bad for their customers they invest a fair amount in promotion and advertising but it all comes down to the bottom line at the end of the day.
