I am aware of the fact that CCP uses this argument but it also means that people like Somer will keep trying to outsmart them and keep looking for loopholes. Add to it how easily was he able to get away with his last scheme and you are set for a s**tstorm we see now.

**** storm?

You must be new. You obviously have no idea what a real forum **** storm looks like. This is a mild whine.

Mr Epeen Cool

Besides, no forum shitstorm of any kind or form has ever given CCP food for thought. They've been abundantly clear on that for more than a decade. It always comes down to very different arguments.

Which is why it's so important to keep the focus on what people say. CCP has had its issues with bumping into seeing customers do something instead of saying.

That said, I kinda miss the old CAOD and General Discussion on patchdays from some years back though. Kinda twisted.
CCP have improved things so much it's been ages since there was a 100 page drama whine thread on something.

The only reason we are only at page 23 is CCP Falcon and his swift reaction... Just wait for CCPs final statement in this Somergate 2.0. The storm may still come in full force... Blink

EDIT: Page 24, damn, I swear it was 23 when I started to write the response. Big smile

When Falcon gets started theres no stopping him. except Lunch and perhaps some sleep.

This time round its being delt quite fast whereas the last time the response was a bit more sluggish, so when the team investigating ( and am sure there will be, they dont really want a shitstorm like last time, but that might already be brewing )

All Joe Public can do is stand by, make more comments on this, and pretty much wait to see what the next thing out of the bag is.

No, but I was always terrible at pattern recognition - it's what's kept me out of Mensa every time I apply.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

nope, i see other alliance and alts posting too.

what i can't understand is why Somer Blink hasn't asked to become a retailer i'm sure they would get more $ to the plex then being a 3rd party.

there is a lot of grey areas in the rules ccp have for this game. as i did say in the other post i do think this is rmt

I'm just trying to follow the cookie trail of a PLEX passing through SOMER. [crumbs... trail... cookie crumb trail.]

SOMER pays (say) 20% above market for a PLEX

raffles it off for 12/10ths of its value (getting that ISK back)

is that about right?

It's really easy to try and drum up conspiracy theories, and if you look at anything long enough and hard enough you see a pattern.

Please don't rumor monger, it's not a good thing.

"Hey friends,

Thanks for all the years of Blink that we've spent together. It's been a long four years-- some of it longer than others!
Unfortunately, as of today, Blink is going to go on extended-- perhaps indefinite-- hiatus. CCP has gone back on everything they said several months ago, and the resulting environment is so hostile that it's not one we want to try to operate in, if CCP throws us under the bus.

If you have prizes waiting, they will be fulfilled. You can claim prizes as normal. Bonk tickets have been refunded to your account balance. We will begin refunding all account balances of people that have played in the last 6 months, starting with balances over 10 million ISK. As always, we're not in the business of stealing your money.
It's been an absolute pleasure to meet many of you, through Blink, Eve, and our lotteries channel. Thank you for the experience."

Wonder what happens to that big pile of ISk he has?

You're leaving out the (very high) possibility of shill accounts wining the PLEX among other things.

wasn't that always possible?

also, I can't find a solid date (or even a week or month figure) for how long this latest SOMER deal has been active. the supposed authorization is dated March 26th...

how long has this been going on? and what caused the suspicion now, in mid-August?

I'm just curious, and not insinuating anything.

Well it's all over now :)
