D@mnit this is too fun...even though overall, I'm down ISK...I do have some cool ships that I've always wanted but could never justify buying...now I just need to train a few skills...and I can get to fitting them
Not just that it's fun (and addicting), but it really seems like you guys put some serious work into this. The UI (and user experience) are well thought out and intuitive. As a web app in general it seems very solid...seriously - nice job.
On top of all that, I should mention that the buyout prices are almost unbelievably fair (which, of course, makes the "convert to .blink credit even more attractive), the "achievement" rewards are...surprisingly generous, and the delivery of prizes has been very fast (so far) - no idea how you find time to coordinate all of this.
One question though - how do I get to participate in the promo .blinks? Is it just as simple as being on at the right time, or is there some other trick?

Edited by: jiitore on 02/12/2010 12:20:24 Just saw something odd on the .blink site. There are some recent blinks on which there have been 5-6-7 people with the exact same name entering.
I'm referring to someone registering 6 times on a Bhaalgorn and winning it; someone else 5 times on a Sleipnir and winning that. I may be wrong but as far as i know you're only allowed to register once per blink, with a limit on how many blinks you can register on at a certain time, right?

Direct from the Somer.blink 'How to Play' (http://cogdev.net/blink/?act=faq)
You can buy as many tickets as you like per blink, except for some special blinks that will be marked "1 Ticket Per Player".

The big gigablink's typically run on a Friday or Saturday, with a countdown timer. The normal promo blinks are fired off randomly by we Blink folks, so just have to be blinking at the right time :) We usually try to give a heads up on incoming promos in the in-game channel, though.

So, if you don't play everyday you are not eligible to play any promos? Sad to see that, but that's not how you treat your customers. Still wish you all the best.

It was done because too many people were making multiple accounts to get free promos, to the point that, from what 1 was told by one of the staff, even on the big promos with 100+ tickets, only 10 or so different people got in normally. *******s trying to cheat the system caused this to be necessary. Play the butan and you get 2m free credit. Blink on a raptor. Poof, promo capable at no cost to you. Now quit *****ing.

Hi Smoulders!
Basically what Iella said, though with modifications: you don't have to play every day, just a couple times a week (and things like Raptors do count).
The reason was that, for any given promo, in say 100 slots-- - 30 slots were regular blinkers - 20 slots were new blinkers that had played blink a bit that day - 50 slots were accounts with no blinks on their account except promos.
Kinda ruins it for the people that actually play! You of course do actually play :P so I may see about adding a second layer of eligibility that turns on permanently once you've played X number of blinks. Happy to get your feedback on this. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Think you should have a limit yes. To play promos you should have played like "insert random number" of blinks (talking about 100-500 something). And now to all your who want to whine about it.. Somer have promos to give something back to the players right? I saw a guy some days ago winning a tengu on promo. Blinks played 1 win 1... <-- "giving it back to "players". (wouldnt call him a player) I understand Smoulders, he (and many more) puts loads of isk in, thats why blink is up and running and Somer makes isk = gives back = fun and happy playing with some extra twist. But when you look at promos and see like what 70% (you know what im talking about dont start counting and stuff) wins are people who comes in play 1 raptor do some butans and wins the promo it feels kinda ****ty for the players who "are" blink. And no im not angry i feel no hate :D I like what somer does and so on ;) but think that promos should be something extra and a bonus for people who made blink to what it is, not for someone who visit the page once, gets lucky and goes away. (and with limit, more cash to you somer ;) And more promos to the REAL players)

I would love that. I played quite a bit when you first brought this out, and haven't really played much since. For a while i was keeping an eye on it for the promos, but now i can't even play those if i don't want to continue putting isk up on a regular basis :/

I think a second layer would probably be a good solution for many of us who did play a lot of blinks since you started the service. The reason why I was a bit offended is that I played like 200 mil just a few days earlier and the message told me basically that that was not enough. I'm fully aware of the problem you have with "promo-bots" but the system should be able to distinguish between regular players who have been away for a week or so or those who just show up for the promos.

Just saw on the lottery website that you're well on your way to 10,000,000,000,000 ISK... that got me thinking: how much gametime could that buy you... lets assume that a PLEX costs 370 million, people have already gambled over 2062 years of EVE

So, we talked about it, and we agreed with the posts here - the restrictions on promo eligibility was too strict. Lots of folks who have been long time customers, and deserve to keep having fun with us, were falling out of eligibility.
So we've changed it :)
Currently, those who have deposited less than 1Bn isk total (over the lifetime of their Blink account) will still fall under the old rule - they must play a regular blink every couple of days to be able to play promos.
The change: Once a player has deposited a total of 1Bn or more ISK, they remain eligible for promo play for life, no more checks, no more ineligibilities. We really do want to give back to our real customers with the promos, and we think this is the most viable way. Let us know what you think!

Out of interest when u say deposoted does that mean ISK put into blink from your in game wallet or does it include the value of blinks turned into blink credit .
Only reason I ask is that as a new player to eve I have never had more than 100 mil ISK and to me 1 bil seems like a crazy amount of ISK to spend on anything . I occasionaly dabble a bit on blink but have nowhere near the spending power that alot of pilots have (i think so far i have deposoted about 80 mil and only realy play on the smaller stuff with the occasional big thing if ive been lucky )

For a very limited, Somer.blink is allowing you to withdraw your ISK. Just go into the "Somer Lotteries" channel when Somerset Mahm is around and type in all caps "I'M ATHEISTOFFAIL AND I'M FIRING MAI LAZORS". You'll have a refund to your ingame wallet within 30 minutes.
True story, it happened to me.

ISK directly deposited. However, the old eligibility requirement (one normal blink every couple of days) still allows those <1bn deposited to continue to play in promos. And the 1bn breakpoint does not have to be sent in any time frame, just over the entire life of your blink account. So you'll still be working towards that 1bn eligibility over that time frame :)
