Charity

Yesterday I started in my mission to be a Philanthropist, I logged in and found out that SOMER Blink were having some server issues. So my mission began............

I went out and used my own ISK to purchase:

10 PLEX
2 x Carriers
1 x Carrier Skillbook
1 x Capital Ships Skillbook
and 1B in liquid ISK


I then proceeded to GIVE it away in the SOMER Chat channel.

I asked people to solve riddles, caption contests, Dice Rolls, Random Playing cards, random numbers nothing high tech, people simply mailed me a number or a card and then I used [url]http://random.org[/url] to pick a winner then contracted the goods over. EASY PEASY

Now some people will call SCAM and TROLL, but I assure you that my intentions were pure and I just felt like being generous. I have lots of "winners" that can attest to that fact.

I have a grander plan in mind and my end goal is to essentialy start up a "charitable fund" that will quite simply, log into chat channels at random and have a stable base in my own private channel and GIVE STUFF AWAY.

Some of you will say "whats in it for you". And the answer is,nothing but a certain feeling of contentment and excitement. When you give away a PLEX card to someone who has been trying to earn enough to buy one for weeks and you get a message proclaiming their joy and thanks. Its JOY people, generosity and Philanthropy have been around for millenaia yet EVE seems to have a lack of Genuine Charitys. Ask your self why this is?



I am aware that this can be done much better than I can do as I am not the best set up in the world, I have no webpage, I have no amazing API lottery system, its just me logging into channels to give people things for a bit of participation. I am not sitting on 100's of Billion ISK, I don't have much but what ever I do have... IS YOURS

Now this is where a lot of people will shout SCAM, LOSER, TROLL. blah blah blah. But the truth is. WE ALL have Skillbooks, Mods, Ships lying around that we don't use, why not give them to someone who would really truly benefit from it.

So if your feeling generous and want to help then please feel free to do so. If you have other charitable service to provide then lets do that. If someone has spare web space for my fund then amazing, literally anything that people can do would me greatly appreciated. Its about time we all stopped for a second and just let our selves trust, just a bit


“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”


















Disclaimer: I have no alts so any convos or contracts not from me are scams. I am not affiliated in any way with SOMER Blink, I merely just used their channel as a starting block and for that they have my greatest thanks for letting me do this.

I think I'd be more interested in how you made so much isk you're just giving away chunks tbh.

And I'd love it if the twist was that you're a null sec coalition lead who "just has too much isk from all this moon goo"

nope my account is modestly small, but what I do buy or get donated goes into the prize pool for fun. I make no money and just do it to help people have fun with silly little riddles, dice rolls etc. Just a guy trying to make EVE a nicer place

This guy is legit. Somehow guessed correctly on a dice roll and was given a shiney new ship!

Thanks for keeping the downtime interesting.

Cracked a joke about needing help inbetween many other give away games by Thirfir Hawat and the guy instantly sent me items I really needed just to help out.

Seen the many other give away's, now been helped myself... guy's legit!

I understand what you are feeling. I'm pretty space poor myself, but I get on corp chat sometimes and give away little isk I have to newbies. It's a pretty nice feeling :)

You should donate the isk to a small gang PvPer trying to make a youtube series for everybody to watch. The less they have to grind ISK the more they can create content.
