Summary

If you click my affiliate link and buy one or more 60-day GTCs, you will get a free ticket in a fully Black Legion fit Nyx supercarrier Promowink (You get the reference). It's safer than getting straight ISK from my competitors, there is 0 chance of getting a negative wallet or mark against your account. A lottery (Promowink) is the as-of-today accepted form of turning affiliate links into ingame value, and thus safer, than paying ISK directly, but I expect CCP to make a statement on that after the weekend anyway.
You buy GTCs as normal and get a chance at a fully Black Legion fit Nyx supercarrier. Isnt that cool?

There will be 200 Tickets, 1 winner gets all. Just like in a Promowink - FREE NYX LOTTERY BABY

The expected value of this lottery is modeled after blink and both are SAME VALUE (150m).

[Chribbas Dice Link here, when I go live]

How to step-by-step

1. Click my affiliate link (will be posted tomorrow after Shattery Crystal has them stocked)
2. Buy one or more 60-day GTC's (NOT 30-day)
3. When you get the Code(s) send me a mail with your reference number and order date. DO NOT message me when your order is still pending.
4. You'll then get 1 ticket assigned.

Why am I getting rid of my Nyx

Black Legion used to have a supercarrier fleet. Now we don't. MISTAKES WERE MADE.
Anyway, I'd rather lose 10 Naglfars than 1 Nyx. Minmatar Dread 5 is finishing in 20 days and it's time to have some silly fun with Nags. Dreads rule man.

Legalities

Shattered Crystal is an CCP authorized reseller of ETCs.
You're just entering a normal Nyx Supercarrier lottery.

Scamming

Unlike my competitors, whose status of legality is still uncertain, supercarrier lotteries are normal and 100% legal. There is no chance of getting negative walleted by CCP or to get a mark against your account.
I plan on Chribba holding the Nyx during the lottery, but don't know if he can dedicate a char for an yet-to-be-determined amount of time. Easiest way is to despoit 33b in place of the Nyx with him, which I'll get back after the trade is done, but I don't have that much liquid. I'll figure it out by the time I go live and post the affiliate link.

I cannot scam the GTC from you since Shatterd Crystal is selling those to you directly.
The most you can lose are tickets in this "Promowink", worst case you still bought GTCs for normal price.

The fit

Will be posted when I go live, if you're really curious just check the killboard for Black Legion Nyxes.

@CCP: If this isn't cool, tell me, it's not live yet. No potential punishable actions are happening until the Nyx goes to the winner, so don't ban me for a thoughtcrime tia! I've also petitioned you to confirm that I'm allowed to provide ingame incentives for GTC affiliate purchases via a lottery, as other 3rd party websites are also doing.

Why would anyone gamble for a 1/100 chance for a Nyx while they can get 500m guaranteed for the same purchase?

Why do people buy tickets for titans during Blink celebrations for a 1/almost-impossible chance while they can get PLEX and other small stuff during promoblinks for a much, much lower chance for the same tokens?

Gambling makes you lose value, but you could also win so much bigger.

Also something about a promo lottery (promowink) being similar to the as-of-today accepted form of turning affiliate links into ingame value (Blink, you know), and thus safer, instead of paying ISK directly, but I expect CCP to make a statement on that after the weekend anyway.

Because they want a nyx?
It's like asking why people gample in real life when they can buy stocks/food/whatever for the same amount of money.

First its around 30b, secondly the expected value of this lottery is modeled after blink and both are same value (150m). Are you saying that people who've used blinks affiliate have serious gambling problems?

Just as I predicted, the would-be RMTers are competing so hard with each other that the value of isk is dropping like a stone.

$350 profit from a nyx not bad. You forget to say that the nyx can get taken back by CCP. Somer is the only one allowed to do this right? What if people took my deal and use the isk on dark lotto https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=277013&find=unread Your lotto is 1/200 or using my ETC link then darks lotto 1/60:) Your tickets are worth 500mil so 100b isk lotto for 1 nyx. Take your tickets down to 59 then the deal is ok. You would still make $103 for your nyx. What happens if only half the tickets sell within say 2 months? Also CCP could stop all of us using the affilate loophole before the auction completes how will you refund? To sell 200 ETC's thats $7000.

Unlike my competitor i give straight isk, delivery is fast if im online and dont have to wait months for a auction that may never happen.

The pittance you guys are taking for your isk is hilarious. $103 for a Nyx really puts it in perspective.
