Somber blink is such a scam. I would guess that over 3/4 of its players are somerblink controlled bots these guys need to restructure how they are running this thing as you realistically are competing with bots and not other players for the most part the site is a good idea but the amount of computer run players is completly outrageous .RollIdea maybe the nice folks over at somerblink limit the amount of tickets that each bot buys a quarter and not half of the item then maybe it wouldnt be so obvious. the isk used is entirely fake besides what real players are puting in the isk the bots use is free for them ................now thats a hell of a way to get isk for rmt :P

Same guy that's been trying to extort Somer?
Or are you the one who claimed to have hacked their site?
Or maybe they are one in the same.

Either way, you could be given the copypasta version of the 'somerblink is a legit business' deal. However, I'll let you continue on saying it's a scam. Funny enough? I came in when the people were claiming Replacement 234 to be a shill, and ironically, i have taken out more than 3 times what i have put in, the majority of it free.

The way I see it, this is free publicity to drive people to the site, so that more people can have fun, enjoy themselves, and win things. Anyone with half a brain can see that Somer doesn't need to scam to turn a hefty profit. So... keep on plugging away at this old dead song and dance, and those who actually decide to check the place out for yourselves?

the chat channel is SOMER Lotteries, the site is http://www.cogdev.net/blink/

All are welcomed to come and ask every question in the world, so long as a civil tongue is kept I would imagine.

Right, let me get this straight, you are saying that 3/4 of Somer blink players are bots.

Currently Somer Blink has 52000 accounts.

3/4 of that is roughly 39000.

So Somer blink plays with 39000 characters....

Can you provide some proof for your allegations please?

My guess is you tried playing the game, you lost and now you think that a gambling site is fixed/rigged/botted.

Seen it all before, carry on and bring some advertising for the site, I am sure Somer won't mind.

The last attempt to smear her name gained her about 7000 more customers :)

Yup. Same ole, Same ole.

I wonder if this will get the site about twice as much as last time, considering I am one of the 7000.

OOOOOH! Maybe the actual scam is the free publicity Some Gets! That's a Somer Alt!

It is simple. THe only people who should play games like these are players who can buy 50% of the tickets to every blink they participate in. Essentially, betting Black on a roulette wheel. If you have enough isk, and the compluter progreamme to buy the 50% of blinks every time, then over time you will make a massive amount of ISK.

Everyone else, just like in Vegas, you will lose.

The game isn't a scam. But unless you have trillions and a computer programme to play for you at server speed, then you won't win - the person who does have those things will win, and you will fund their winnings. That is not a scam, just the brutal mathematics.

Sort of true. Thing is, you don't need a bot to come away from it with a cushion. you just need to be quick. While it's hard to track botting during the celebration (i would imagine) essentially put, it doesn't increase your odds of winning one way or another.

It is, as has been said multiple times before, sheer dumb luck. While you can increase your margin of winning by buying a proportionate amount of tickets equal to or greater than half, it still does not guarantee a win, unless you buy all of the tickets. At which point, well.... you are working at a loss.

Hell, even that can be a small gain if you do the math right on an achievement
