SOMER Blink donated 4,000 PLEX for the charity drive.

Is that sufficient evidence or would you like a tinfoil hat?

I logged onto Blink earlier, probably just hours before this happened. I opened up my 1.9q gift, which turned out to be a Gila. It was contracted to me, and after they announced they were shutting down. So they are following through on gifts too.

Alrighty, I've been through and looked at the posts.

If you are wishing to discuss the recent events there is a collective thread you may voice your opinions in https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=367146&find=unread

Do not bring those discussions to this thread please.

And don't forget, keep it civil and please refrain from rule breaking posts. I have tidied up posts for various reasons as below.

Quote:

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not conductive to the community spirit that CCP promotes. As such, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

22. Posting regarding RMT (Real Money Trading) is prohibited.

Posts discussing, linking to, or advertising RMT, including but not limited to the sale of in game items, assets, currency, characters or game accounts for real life money are strictly prohibited.

32. Rumor mongering is prohibited.

Rumor threads and posts which are based off no actual solid information and are designed to either troll or annoy other users will be locked and removed. These kinds of threads and posts are detrimental to the wellbeing and spirit of the EVE Online Community, and can create undue panic among forum users, as well as adding to the workload of our moderators.

Well...

Thanks for your work CCP... Continue like that, you're going to kill EVE with more and more useless nerfs and by killing legitimate action like SOMER !

*Snip* Please refrain from discussing other (non-EvE/Dust/Valkyrie) games. ISD Ezwal.

Sincerely thanks to SOMER for their project which was a great game for those whose, instead of Goons, has not enough funds !

It had a good run, let it go.

Can i say this is music to my ears, its a shame yes, i like a good blink, but like countless others.

But i am sure yo will agree, it takes over logic, you play the game, and a chance to win really big its just so appealing ..to appealing and your buying plex, selling blinking losing, buying plex again, selling blinking losing, then doing it again, some cases i am sure its plex and blink b4 food, without even thinking .

lack of self control some will say, yea it is, some have it some don't, but its not good to have something so enticing.

Blinks Played 10,850
ISK Deposited 390,577,812,997 ISK
Promo Blinks Played 1,688
Win Ratio 23.81%
Blinks Won 2,583
Value of Blinks Won 757,842,702,125 ISK
Megablinks Won 542
Winnings Transformed to Blink Credit 384,863,776,500 ISK
Promo Blinks Won 8
Winnings Transformed to ISK 267,298,103,751 ISK

61 plex points since the date stated on the somerblink page, and nothing to show for it what so ever.
Yes its my own fault, and i did enjoy blinking like crazy, i need a new mouse.
Maybe people will start playing eve again

Somer you must start a Blink mouse sale, a collectors edition mouse. for the fans.
Thanks somer
Good buy


so you completly lack any self control? who cares. its not somers fault its your fault. join a gambling anon group or something.
your arguement is like saying i cant control my drinking so no one should be able to drink. just silly. and simple minded.

Sad to see SOMER go like this. Hell, blinking was a huge part of my eve life, ship spinning will never be the same. I like gambling and somer provided a relatively cheap way of providing a gambling experience. Every PLEX i bought went into blinking but it's way cheaper than any real life gambling sites. I think CCP will feel the hit to PLEX sales due to this...
Yes, because there are no other sites that allow people to gamble isk.
No other good sites, crappy poker client and crappy fruit machines. Yeah, great options Cool

From first to maybe the last.

I remember when promos were small, and they had an isk cost associated with the item, according to its value!

Things came a very long way. Giga blinks, revenant bonks (I remember going broke one trying to get that one), supercarrier bpos, station eggs - as a fairly regular thing!?

You guys did it really big, and were definitely one of my favorite mini-time occupiers associated with eve.

Thanks Somer. Keep the ball rolling towards the next big thing, be it eve or RL; don't stop generating the hype. Cool

CCP has taken the decision to permanently ban the founder of SOMER Blink from EVE Online across all accounts, with immediate effect. This is due to multiple violations of our EULA and Terms of Service.
