I want a case with four stones in it! Not one or two or three but four! Four stones! What the hell am I supposed to do with an empty case?

So checking in again today seems both iwantisk.com and somerblink are neck and neck! Shocked

Would be great to see how they both compete to bring us new material ;)

One thing I don't care for on www.iwantisk.com is that you can gamble afk if you choose. It lets you click a box on the slots to keep gambling automatically. I tried it as a test, and I was very upset. My intention was to throw away 500m as quickly as I could, but I kept winning instead. I don't see how they make any isk.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

AFK gambling... God damn that's good.... I wonder if there are laws preventing us implementing this for real?

lmao the title of this one reads like something straight out of a cable news network playbook

LIke, all you have to do is put a ? after a totally ignorant statement and somehow that gives it credit

Video games making our children violent?
President Obama not a US citizen?
SOMER blink dying?
Is your microwave killing you?

Check out Betteridge's law, it really applies here. To paraphrase for those of you who don't want to read up on this:

"If the headline asks a question, try answering 'no'. Is This the True Face of Britain's Young? (Sensible reader: No.) Have We Found the Cure for AIDS? (No; or you wouldn't have put the question mark in.) Does This Map Provide the Key for Peace? (Probably not.) A headline with a question mark at the end means, in the vast majority of cases, that the story is tendentious or over-sold. It is often a scare story, or an attempt to elevate some run-of-the-mill piece of reporting into a national controversy and, preferably, a national panic. To a busy journalist hunting for real information a question mark means 'don't bother reading this bit'."

Also, obvious shill is obvious.

Ha that is interesting! I didn't even realize I did that!
Technically, wouldn't the same comment "Somer BLINK dying." Without a question mark be worse as it is more of an accusation?
I was just trying to be modest honestly. Bear

Nah, if you had made the topic:

SOMER Blink Is Dying.

Then that would be a statement - and if your statement proved to be false, you would have been incorrect in your statement.

But phrase that same thing as a question, like "SOMER Blink dying?" and hey, you were just asking, not stating any kind of opinion or keeping yourself open to criticism.

Though maybe that was your point in the first place. Your post does seem like a very obvious shill post, however. If it's not, then just ignore me. I tend to ramble on about lots of things that totally do not matter.

Seeing as my corp mate just won 50b on the bonk blast, you'll forgive me if I don't think it's exactly on the way out.

I'll now go back to my quiet jealousy.

? I am confused and don't really think this deep into these things... It's general discussion not science.
And yes, "Somer BLINK dying." is more of an accusation than "Somer BLINK is dying?"

But who cares about the title?
It just lets you know what I was thinking about. It is a question for other's opinions, not a statement, and thus, I made it a question. Sue me.
