they also send people into the bigger, more public corps like eve uni to advertise in channel. they camoflauge it by talking about somer rather than just outright advertising. i wouldn't have thought twice about it until i saw it in three different corps i was infiltrating. somehow these positive talkers have always managed to 'beat.' statistics make liars of them, so i dont' know who they think they're fooling. |

Ahem. Statistics will state that /some/ people will win. They're just the outliers. After all, people win Lotteries, and win millions at that. There are just a lot more losers. That is exactly why they stuck out to me. How is it so many people in several different corps were so successful, so often? The way they spoke about it always followd a similar pattern about beating the system and getting ahead. Anyway, just something I noticed. I could give a ****. |

Everyone who's spent any time in trade/mission/newbie hubs has heard of them because Evealopolous (or whatever) spam local with trial alts more than the scammers. Not seen somer.blink resorting to that - perhaps they do in places, I dunno. I have spent a lot of time in trade hubs and have never heard of them. I'm aware that there are other lotteries, but most of eve has never heard of them. BIG is the only other one that is well known and its not some convoluted gambling plan, just a straight up lottery. I odn't think anyone would accuse Torn of underhandedness, but then, we have no real way of proving that any of the lotteries are legitimate. My point was simply that just because people are challenging their legitimacy doesn't mean its a competitor.

These threads appear every 2-3 months and tend to coincide with perceived times when people will be returning to game (summer break over for kids/January/Easter/etc). Then there's a burst in trial chars spamming local with Evealopolous "offers". Its not a coincidence. Somer.blink is still here. I've never used them. BIG are cool, I remember them when they started. I have bet with them a few times on Eve tourneys and won. Please show me these threads and the schedule on wihch they appear. Links to the first pages and dates, please. |

Look, its another of those mysterious winners who managed to, gasp, triple their money, even though its statistically incredibly unlikely. Just like the other shills who advertise for Somer. |

The mysterious backend webserver that no one can see or audit. that's where. Are you really saying that you trust them based on information that can't be verified? |
