Just today, after playing just too many blinks for about a week, i noticed this :


"This time, we'll draw five winners to each receive 50 billion ISK. One win per person. If you've won Blast in the past, you cannot win again."

So... i won 50 bil before... it means, if my number comes out.. i wont get my prize? That's a joke right?

This is the same thing as writing on a Casino Door, if you won something here, go elsewhere... That should be in CAPITAL letters on the MAIN page.

I feel like being almost scammed like one of those Jita fools...

That's my protest. That's Somer Blinks saying.. you already won, just go away, dont play the game anymore.

Think about it.. it's just wrong.

any update on the issues? Site still down for me :(

Today has not been a very good day. Sorry for all the trouble :(

Everything is up currently, crossing fingers it all stays smooth.

The server itself is / was fine, the issue was a network problem with the upstream provider that knocked our server and some others offline.

Hello everyone. Im as most of you know, currently in the hospital awaiting surgery. (should be done by tomorrow.)
I just wanted to say thank you for everyones support during the past weeks, I greatly appriciate it.
At least I have a crappy old mini pc to at least check mails and stuff while being in this damn hospital bed.

Take care everyone and good luck in the upcomming draw.

Not that I have any more isk in the system at the moment. I'm not raging. But I do have prizes unclaimed.
I'm more thinking you should put up a sticky or at least some kind of fool proof STATUS page if you aren't going to reach out for help with your server issues. It is obvious to me (at least I am paranoid enough to think this out) that somebody has been actively attacking your site. Is that possible?

Hope you iron all of this out, I'm having fun being addicted to the blinks!

Thanks for over 2Bil in winnings.

oh and all the scammers who try to contract me out of winnings ... you can suck it.

Thanks for all the support guys, It really helps.
You are all AWESOME!!!
Now if all goes well I may be comming home tomorrow (Saturday) or on Sunday.

On another note, blink seems to be down. :(
Seems like this is the celebration for website problems huh?

Anyway, good luck in the draw later everyone. I will be crossing my fingers all night.
Take care guys, I'll be back blinking away, soon... very soon...

The server required some new heart valves so we put it under the knife.

Now we have a bionic Swedish server with robot parts and the site is up.

:P

This site is cool, but I never win anything. Huge waste of ISK..pretty sure it's rigged for certain people to win as they are always the same ones to win.

Hiya John!

I get that losing your first 5 blinks would be frustrating and upsetting, and don't blame you if you don't want to play anymore. That said 5 losses (4 with 1 ticket, 1 with 2 tickets) isn't outside of the statistical norm at all, and a very, very long way from "never" and "always" :)
