SOMER.blink Part of the Cognitive Development Network Channel: SOMER Lotteries | Mailing List: SOMER Lotteries
[SOMER] is very excited to present our newest creation, SOMER.blink -- a new, exciting way to play for ships, prizes, and ISK! SOMER.blink is a site for special lotteries that consist of just a few tickets. Tickets show up as soon as you buy them, without having to wait for an API update. And when the tickets are drawn, the winner is rolled immediately!
SOMER.blink lotteries are unique in that the players have chosen what prize they want to play for. If a blink slot is open, any player may select a prize to play for by buying the first ticket in that slot. It's fun and easy!
Visit the new .blink site and check it out!
Your SOMER.blink Account Instead of sending ISK with a reason code to buy tickets, you deposit money into your SOMER.blink account and use that money to buy tickets. To deposit money, send it to the corporation SOMER Blink - a member of the Cognitive Development network. You do not need a reason code.
If you win a prize, your account will be updated with a prize claim code. You can access your account from the main menu after logging in. SOMER.blink offers you many options to redeem your prize!
- Hub Delivery - You can receive your prize in a trade hub (fast!)
- Custom Delivery - SOMER.blink has contracted Mercurial Freight to ship your prize to ANY high-sec system for you. This is paid for by SOMER.blink and will cost you nothing! (up to 3 days)
- ISK Buyout - SOMER.blink will buy your prize back from you for ISK at a competitive rate. (fast!)
- .blink Credit - You can turn your prize into credit instantly, with no waiting to redeposit! (instant!)
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or stop by the SOMER Lotteries channel... and enjoy playing SOMER.blink! --- SOMER Lotteries - http://somer.idiofx.com/ SOMER Escrow Services: Third-Party |

Great new way of running a lottery. Just one suggestion: How about having two pages to split smaller and bigger ships. Right now some of the more expensive ships linger around for like a whole day taking up slots while the small ships move fast. And speed should be the driving factor in this lottery. Not that I have a clue on how to fix dat being a noob, just my observation. Still great lottery, keep it up!

You are eminently correct. We actually noticed this was becoming a problem while the mailing list guys were playing with it (before I made this post). I handled the issue last night, and the fix has been pushed to production. Here's the logic:
Small blinks have blink @ < 20M Big blinks have blink @ > 20M
3 small blinks and 2 big blinks are allowed at any time, for a total of five.
Hope this sounds good! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

somer, there's a bit of confusion here :
in this topic you say to send money to : the corporation SOMER Blink - a member of the Cognitive Development network. You do not need a reason code.
on the help of the blink forum you say to send money to : the corporation Somer's Omnibus Exploration and Reclamation - this corporation is a member of the alliance Cognitive Development. Use reason code blink when sending money.
and the corporation SOMER Blink is NOT a member of your alliance (currently i only see the corp where you are on your alliance, and the blink i found never was into)
so... what is the thing to do ?

Sending to either corp will work (at least for now), but I'm trying to switch over to everything being via SOMER Blink.
With the alliance thing, I'm not sure how that works. The corp is new so maybe it only shows up in the alliance after downtime? It shows as a member in my alliance control panel. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

i heard there's a 24h timer to be accepted, and the corp is less than 24h old in any case i dont see any alliance on blink corp, so if you see it, it must be an update problem.

Hey there!
Which ships would you like? I'm going to stay away from a mass dump because I don't want blinks for like, Merlins or something :P but I'll add ships if you don't see them!
I am working at rolling out things like implants-- you can see the promo.blink for an implant. Currently those are limited to me setting them up. Working on new stuff! :)

Prices are calculated automatically from a formula that involves market price / contract price. If you see one that you think is mega off, just drop me a mail and let me know.
Smaller ships do have a higher % blink cost because the cost to ship them is the same as the big ships. But it shouldn't be too much off! Let me know. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

The string of 8's? It's just the vagaries of random number generation from what I can tell. I actually did look into it to make sure that it wasn't somehow freaking out, but everything looks legit.
Basically the perfect storm of "guy that only buys #8" and "string of winning #8s". Sorry! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Believe me, when I saw the numbers rolling through I was quadruple checking :P
I'm happy to stick it here, it's not complex:
//RNG was seeded at init() function roll_winner($blinkID, $num_tickets) { if(is_null($num_tickets)) die("Error rolling dice"); $winner = mt_rand(1, $num_tickets); $query = "UPDATE lottery_blinks SET finish_time = NOW(), winning_number = $winner WHERE winning_number IS NULL AND id = $blinkID"; $r = mysql_query($query); }
The relevant line there is just $winner = mt_rand(1, $num_tickets); which uses the PHP Mersenne Twister to pull a random number. Mersenne has been proven to work well at providing true randomness so it's just a lucky streak, sorry!
(Plus that guy has played over 30 blinks at this point I think :P) --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Is there a max duration for an open lottery?

you have hidden the part when it say i can't win, i'm sure of it :P this new site is a pretty good idea, but would be better if i could win a bit xD
well anyway, just a little advice ; * do something about the text of the prize, i find it irritating to see this when my mouse passed by. and maybe i'm not alone * little prize seems to have over-high cost ; for example most of the tech2 frig seems to have a total ticket cost which is more than twice the real cost, seems a bit too much for me. * don't forget what i said yerterday, about being able to see the tab to add a blink, i finnally saw it some hours ago, but the time to read it it was too late :P i think most people don't know at all how it looks, and what they can choose ;)
well wanyway, you did a good job, as i lost more money in blinks that on all lotteries i tried here in a month xD

I got an idea for you somer. Currently you have it set at 2 large and 3 small prizes at a time. I would suggest that you change it to 1 giant, 2 large, and 3 small. With giant meaning freighter, carriers, rorqual and such. It looks like the giant prizes will sit for a while, and it would be nice to have a plex and a large ship on at the same time. Just an idea, great game, im very addicted.

The response to this is greater than I could have expected. Another fifty blinks since I went to bed.
The concept is good, but I personally think the winner is the implementation. Great job on the interface.

I have to agree, the interface is absolutely simple to use. I also love the speed of the lotteries.
To be honest though, with the credit option on item's you've won, i think you've just started a (the first?) EvE casino ;)

Just a bit more feedback:
I feel the cost of a plex blink is a little too high, 8x 50m = 400m, average plex costs 330m, it doesn't seem as appealing as the others given that a plex is all about isk, whereas a ship has other factors to make it attractive.
Also the payout on a caldari navy raven was a little dissapointing, around 100m difference between contract price and your isk offering.
Either way your service is great and alot of fun, I just thought i'd give my opinion.

blink.talk will be awesome. I played at work till I ran out of isk (gotta refill) but had good fun. The higher ones really take a leap of faith unless isk is no worry for you. The blink cash option is brilliant, because of the 7 times I've won, only once did I take the prize and that was a plex and it had no option for it.

Expanding on xadrick's comments, i agree that there is some diffrnces in prices. for instance a plex (330m isk) is a 50m isk buy in, where as the orca (320m isk) has a 43.5m isk buy in. No one expects you to run this for free, but i think that more standerd pricing would be better. For instance a mark up of 8-10%, which would be your cut. So a plex at 330 million, with your 10% mark up is 363mil, /8 tix is 45.375 round it to the half mil and you have 45.5 per ticket.
I understand that market prices change constantly, and of course ticket prices would have to vary. Im sure you can automate the market items, but you would have to manually enter the contract only items.
again great game, very good idea. i hope you are getting rich from it.

Edited by: Somerset Mahm on 17/09/2010 02:53:26 Thanks for mentioning those specific instances.
The formula is actually automatically tied to market prices, but contract prices can be a little harder to work with. I try to keep the margin low because I recognize that blinks have high turnover. I'll look at the specific items you mentioned. Regarding payout, there is a one-to-one formula that links blink cost to buyout price. So blinks with the same cost will always have the same buyout as each other. The CNR is one of the lowest-margin blinks (currently at about 7%) and that is reflected in payout.
PLEX have been reduced to 45M a blink, thanks for noticing.

This is actually a limit on the number of Mega Blinks (1 at a time), not a limit on tickets per person.

the win list still is sometime very strange, as we see often guys winning 4-5 times in a row. well on the other ways i saw that some of the biggest players on the stats are sometimes blinking 4 tickets on the same ships... and sometimes they're bid is for more than the price of the ship itself xD

Have you thought of using publicly-available sources of entropy to generate the results? E.g. start from date / air temperature / stock market index / lottery results, take an MD5 hash to turn it all into a single number, and finally apply a modulo operation to force the outcome to match one of the ticket numbers.
Doing it this way would leave it just as unpredictable, but would remove any possible suspicion of the winner being fixed, as people would be able to validate the results independently. --- 34.4:1 mineral compression |

It's been on my list :P I think this is a really powerful statistic!
I did a quick database pull and can tell you that the number right now is 56,176,000,170 ISK.
Edit: regarding public entropy, I don't see any way to do this that both allows you to crosscheck results AND not be able to predict future blinks. I've handled a lot more than 56 bil before, though, and I think if you look at the winning number distribution you'll find it is not weighted towards any number.
I will put the distribution on the stats page as well. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

I've been really enjoying playing however the margins for the ships today are horrid.
I'm looking at several t2 frigs that cost 14-18m each with a total blink cost of 32m.
Please reign in your margins!
I've been playing a fixed amount of isk every day, but at the current rate I may have to stop.
Absolutely love the site just don't see myself playing when you're making almost 100% profit off each. Last night it was between 5-15% profit for you and thats ok.. but nearly double is too much for me :P Need something moved? /grin |

Heya,
Margins on big ships are near-nil, but you're right, the T2 frig stuff is pretty high margin.
The reason for this is it costs me the same to ship an item no matter the cost, and it costs the same to pay the person who contracts it to you.
I have not changed any pricing since you played yesterday.
Thanks very much for the feedback though! Would it be better if I didn't allow anything under, say, a cruiser hull to be shipped? This would reduce the margin on frigate hulls by 5-7M. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Those restrictions would be great.
Also restricting if not removing t2 hulls below cruiser would be something I support as well. Coming in hoping to play for ships with an average value ~100-300m and seeing a wall of 15m t2 hulls I can get off the market is discouraging. Especially when another Dictor gets put up right before I can start that faction cruiser blink!
Honestly.. love it.. You can see just how much I've spent lately!
Also - you may want to check your falcon price currently about 60m over market which is ~85m. But that's the market I suppose :P
In the end I'm usually enjoying it.. maybe it's just the current lackluster selection that is available to play for :P

I originally had almost nothing t2 in the system but have added as people request.
I will take a hard look at how to best deal with the t2 frig glut. You can see if you look at the stats that the top ships are all frigs. I know that people with not a lot of money do enjoy playing for them so I'm hesitant to drop them completely!
For now, I will ask that people not request delivery on frigates and will slash all frigate costs. I may look at limiting the number of small things like I do big things. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Is there a way to limit the types of lotteries? meaning you can only have one T2 frig per hour or something like that. I like faction frigs but rarely play for stealhbombers or assualt frigs (even though I won one ) or that type of thing. I suppose that you could limit the types for all ships really and try and strike a balance so everyone who is interested could find what they like.
Anyway great service and great fun, Thanks for the fast deliveries

t2 frig are the cheapest blink. there's lots of them because it's the thing to use if you want cheap ticket. enyo is #1 because it's the only thing at 2M the ticket, as other frig are 3-4M.
the success to blink is directly linked to the speed of the lotto. having small prize, and so small ticket mean it will be fnished more quickly. i'm pretty sure blink will lost a good part of it's player base if you do something about limiting the t2 frig.
however what may be intersting is dividing the small categrory to small and medium. seems totally different for me having on the same class ticket at 2M and at 18M.
by the way, adding a bit more stats about the most played ships ; as the top 3 of each blink size would be good :)

This is pretty ingenious. You should find a way to integrate and entice all the lottery hosts to host their lotteries on your website. I am getting tired of seeing 20-30 new lotteries popping up on Sales Forum. =)

What about seperating the Blink Slot Available windows into their respective slots?
IE one for small Blinks, one for Big Blinks, and one for Mega Blinks? Each window will only have the blink items that are applicable to it and it would indicate if there are any blink slots open for that type of blink?
As it stands now, we just know that a slot is open, but not what type it is, nor what type the item we are going to be picking belongs to.

I have been doing some usability studies on how best to present the blink front page. I have some different testing ideas that will probably be randomly making appearances over the next few weeks.

The issue here is supply. Blink relies on having a steady supply of median-priced items. Faction gear is a lot harder to do that with, though I will be able to offer some popular items.
I try to offer promo blinks with faction gear once or twice a day. Feel free to mail me if there's something you want! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

I had 4,999,999.99 ISK in my account and then transfered 15,000,000.01 in game to your corp. Your script only read the transaction as 15,000,000 and dropped the .01 ISK leaving me at 19,999,999.99 in SOMER Blink as opposed to a round 20,000,000.

How did you get a decimal number of ISK in your account? It's stored as an integer (thus no ISK cents). You sure you didn't have just 4,999,999 ? In which case you should transfer 15,000,001. I balanced your books manually for you, though ;)
Interceptors added! I just never thought to. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Um, whoops. You're probably completely correct on that. Sorry for being stupid. I'll send an extra 0.99 next time I send ISK. :) |

Rather than spend too long iterating on a single feature, I've pushed a first pass at blink achievements to the live blink site! You can earn achievements and get blink credit just for playing blink!
A ton more achievements will come this week. I started with the basic ones to make sure the system works okay :)

I'm loving the new achievements section to your game and look towards the next big thing you add. Any chance we could get a stat for biggest isk blinker (isks spent blinking or most isks won blinking) for there is a big difference between winning a frig and winning a carrier. Any chance there would be a special prize for most blinks played in each given week to win faction items or officer or other cool stuff?

Edited by: Serene Python on 25/09/2010 06:40:29 Where do the lottos on the front page come from? Are they the smaller lotteries you get from Linkage? If not how would a person get their lottery put on there or are they just randomly generated lotteries?

The blinks are created by other players when there are no blinks on the playboard, giving them a chance to win what they want to win!

Not a major one, when playing from an iPhone, The active blinks page automatically pulls to the centre of the page whenever you try to scroll. This makes it impossible to refresh the page or check my blinks after logging in.
Just a minor thing I know but I need to waste tome at work dammit!
Edit: also makes it impossible to reload the page on the phone or even type in a new URL.

Edited by: Jennifer Gemini on 26/09/2010 01:51:09 Fun game...
So far I won: - Buzzard - Ishkur x 3 - Crane - Hulk - Damnation - Fenrir
Think I'm done until I actually get the stuff though. I also won an Anathema, Buzzard, Harpy, Crane x 2, Cheetah, Wolf and a Dramiel but chose the ISK account credit option for those.
I "invested" 300-400m. Won just over 1b so hey nice lottery site, I really like that it's fast paced. My only complaint is how long it takes to add more ISK, though I realize you can't hammer CCP's server. But the 1 hour delay really takes away from the impulse feel.
How long does it usually take to get the stuff? Or rather, when are you usually on? Time of day I mean.

I'm thinking he didn't really expect it to get this big this quickly so the logistics of putting up what I would assume to be more than a few hundred contracts a day is a logistical nightmare. Once he has sorted this out I would expect delivery times to be better.
I don't actually know this for a fact but just putting it out there as someone who is waiting for over 20 ships and isn't too worried by this.

I love how fast this game can turn. Earlier today, I had made about 400-500m profit already, so I took 300m of that and deposited it. Combined with the 50m bonus for now reaching a total of 500m deposited, it gave me 350m total. I started playing and it didn't go so well, winning only a Phobos (that I kept) and a Enyo+Vigilante (that I traded for more credit since I was almost out at that point) and then started to loose blink after blink...until all I had left was the 2 tickets I bought earlier during the session on the 16 slot navy Domi and no more credit on my account. I go afk for a while thinking that I lost that money, but when I come back, I see that actually won that domi and as such made 150-200m during the session instead of the 150-200m loss I was at before.
Anything can happen at any time, and you never know when in this game, that's what makes it si fun to play imo.

I played EOH for some isk wasting, and it was definately that. A WASTE.
But... I played Blink, and it is excellent! Its something you still take a chance with, but they odds are so much easier to predict and its still all in all exciting!
Not to mention the items/things you can and will win are anything/everything you could want ingame shipwise. It is def. a win/win for someone who has some extra isk they would like to spend/use wisely.
Thank you SOMER.blink -

No mouseover necessary. You can click on the ISK option and it will tell you about the offers before you hit accept. You can hit Cancel on the next page if you want to-- it's not binding until you Accept the offer. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Personally i understand you making profit over this site, but some of the objects are a tad out of wack. Take the Plex for example, average price is ~340m atm, yet if i add up all the tickets i get 440m. I'm sure this will eventually be balanced out, but it might stagnate the sales atm.

*edit; Oh, as a suggestion, when adding a blink, maybe add the per-ticket price ( and xtickets) to the selector. This way you less easily select a price you cant afford a ticket to?
Yeah, I'm always refining the price calc code but some stuff just gets a little wacky. PLEX in particular move so fast that my code doesn't handle it well yet. Sorry :(

There's something fishy about it. Macro betting? Maybe a bunch of alts with unlimited "blinks" betting and taking winnings? I would put more limitations to it. Such as only 1 blink per lottery pot, and perhaps even limit blinks to every 5 mins. Sorry, but I've seen many of the same winning over and over, I wouldn't doubt there's some dishonesty here.

40%??? Try 140%
All I'm saying is this is Eve... and this is OUTSIDE of Eve. Chances are it's being manipulated in some way.

Originally by: Lord Frost Oh, and Crows are like 10 mil in Jita, yet you are accepting 8 blinks at 3 mil a piece? Walking away with 14 mil, on a Crow win. The lemmings have followed here, congrats on such a great scam.
Although i agree that some of the prizes are a little off, and that there are a ton of alts, the site itself is kosher. I deposited 150m, and won the following (which was all traded for blink credit); Dramiel, Daredevil, Magnate, Legion (all T3 are ONLY hull), Ashimmu and Navy Apoc. Currently i have 492m blink credit, which will all be spent buying tickets for the next Archon...
Just like "real" lotteries, there is only one real winner, the one who holds it. You however get the "chance" to get anitem at greatly reduced cost, however, if you do not now when to stop, or do it with cash you cant afford to lose, you'll be in for a rough ride.
Somer, as far as i know has displayed great integrity on the forums, and slandering his name to make up your mistakes is poor sportsmanship, shame on you.

Thanks for all the comments.
Re: margins. Please read back in the thread-- margins on small stuff appear higher because there is a base cost + a margin %. To be honest, I'd just as soon not spend my days giving away 3000 Hawks and Enyos, so the price on these is monitored carefully. People want to try to win them, but at the same time if they cost 1M a ticket then all we do is play "enyo.blink" all day. This is not optimal for players or for myself.
Re: alts. I have no policy against people having more than one account, though I have talked to a few that had registered 6-10. This really only comes into play on the promo.blinks that cost 1 ISK. I will monitor the situation.

I'm not trying to slander anyone's name. I'm simply informing people that the lotteries profits are skewed from traditional lotteries. And again, in reference to the Crow... it is 140% profit. He snags 24mil from tickets, and if you chose the Crow in Jita, it cost him 10 mil... Thus, he pockets 14 mil. Now, if the winner won 2 crows, that would be somewhat acceptable. Don't you think?

You are wrong, Somer is right, let it go.
Or, even better.....you don't like the margins on some ships, fine. Please start your own lottery site called "Frost Winks" maybe. that way you can set the margins on each and every ship to exactly where you think they should be. Whoever has the better site will then attract the most business, and be declared the winner in the "Fantasy money in a pretend spaceship game lottery site" category.

1. Optimal for yourself? It is very optimal for your pocket. These are the most played pots. It won't change the amount you are giving away, but it would change the outrageous profit margins on them. As far as I can tell, those smaller ship tix sell very quick. How much quicker would those go if tix were 1.5 mil a piece? Probably the same rate. So, you wouldn't be delivering much more. Besides, how many are actually delivered, most are converted into more blinks.
2. Its a great site, I won't tell you how to run it... but can only suggest maybe a time frame between consecutive bets. This would stop those from betting 4 slots on one pot and give others a chance. At least a 30 sec cool down time after 1 bet.
3. I do love it... but it seems to me there are a few changes that could greatly help.

Edited by: Somerset Mahm on 28/09/2010 19:57:45 You are correct that the rate of ticket purchase remains approximately constant when cost is decreased. However the rate of creation of new frig blinks when their cost goes lower is HUGELY increased. People do not like it when Blink is clogged with 6 frigates. Sorry.
My fixed cost to pay my employees to handle claims is the same when someone wins a Vindicator as it is when they win a Vengeance. This naturally means that as a percentage, margins are higher when the ship only costs 10-15M to begin with.
If you think the Crow or Ishkur or whatever isn't worth the ticket cost, please try blinking on something else instead. They are still the highest-volume movers (1 in 3 blinks is a frigate) so people do enjoy them.
That's really all I have to say on the subject Feel free to drop me a mail if you have further comments.

What about a 30 sec timer between blinks? They can still hit up for 4 bets on a pot, but a timer gives others a chance to pipe in. Rather than one guy taking up 50% in a macro second.
Oh and I think the blinks are already clogged with these frigate hull pots. Which is why the cost is higher, because it's a better profit margin for you. You're only human... and even game isk has it's temptations.

Frost, For example I wanted a mach
I purchased a good amount of the total blinks available
Its still a gamble - as i might not win - but still lost 50% of cost of one, by buying half the tickets
i could buy 7/10 and hope i win to save about 100m.....
its a gamble

Go buy half the tickets... but it's not a fair process. It's a simple drawing. Before anyone can bid, you already have a 50% chance. Having you wait between blinks on the same pot gives others time to enter. This also puts an end to the idea that there could be people out there with unlimited blinks bidding for Somer to gain 50% of the winnings. Can you prove to me this isn't happening? I can't prove it is, but I think it's a fair trade off for your Eve community to give them reassurance. You know I'm right.

I dont really understand what the issue is; If you want a 50% chance to win some thing start a blink and buy as many of them as you want as soon as you start it. It is a quick draw, you have to be fast.
On another issue, Somer; how come you cant trade the plex for ISK or blink credit? Also let me know anytime you decide to sell shares in blink.

I am in the top 3 for blinks and I have tried to play the buy 70% and watch me win but it does not mean I will win. I have played lots of mega blinks where I buy 8-10 spots hopping to win but most were losses (somer I'm sure you can varrify this to please everyone). Why am I in the top 3 because I play and play lots why because it's fun and don't think just because I have won 14 billion that I have made isks your wrong currently I'm down 3 billion (unless I did bad math again) so if any of you want to trade your losses for mine fine I will more then be happy to.
So all you talking about how someone buying 50% and having a better chance then you well open you wallet up and be a big boy and bet or sh*t up about it. If you do the math you have to have a really bight % of wins to brake even when you risk 500mill on that shiny ship you have been thinking about.
Somer your game is great and don't listen to these poeple who feel it's there wright to complain that they don't get stuff for free without earning it or working for it.

It really doesn't matter how many blinks someone plays per item. I'm the top blinker in terms of items played but I'm not shown among the top winners. By far not. I mostly only blink one time per item. Does it make me a looser? Not really. As Symm has pointed out he plays several blinks per item, shows as the top winner and still has a loss in the end. I'm pretty much even or even have a slight plus after adding up all the items I cashed in. True, I loose on many big items, but when I win the profit margin is nice. It's all about luck and the fun factor - and for that I'm willing to pay

You guys really don't understand what I'm saying. You must all come from the fast nano generation... lol, those that actually thought that was good for the game. I think if you were put in a position to have to wait 30 seconds between blinks on the same pot, then it makes the whole concept fair and justified for everyone. I would even make the wait time 1-2 mins. If time passes and youc an still grab 50% of the tickets, good for you. But it really puts a red flag up on all of this when Somer doesn't see the benefit in implementing such a change. If she's really out to provide a great lottery for Eve, then I would assume she would want the fairest and most logical approach? But letting players bid so many time and so quick, really make me wonder if they are working for the house, or for the rest of us. Think about it. There is no clean way of making this lottery 100% transparent and honest... but don't you think a cool down time between blinks would regulate a bit more of the marco bidders?

Ok frost with that in mind if .blink was like all the other lotteries out there your trying to tell me that if they had 100 tickets for sale and I buy 90 at one time they would refuse or I should send my isks in one at a time just to give others a fair chance. Maybe you computer is just to slow to handily a up to date way of playing like somer has done. O and last time I looked it's called .blink not .wait1hour

I agree with Symm. I've bought large amounts of tickets in other lotteries like the SOE ones, and would never imagine the organizer asking me to delay my ticket purchases.
Besides, they are FAST lotteries. If you are concerned about one person buying 7 of the 8 tickets, wait for it to end and start another one for the same type of ship. You should be fast enough to get the tickets you want that way. Most Frigate lotteries seem to finish in less than 10 minutes.

Frost,
First, Somerset Mahm has spent quite some time developing a customer base and background as a reputable administrator of his own standard lotteries who delivers as promised. As well as acting for and offering 3rd party lottery holdings services delivering again as promised.
So unfounded accusations of fixing the system, macro bidders and insider betting while common place and to be expected in these forums are just that unfounded, unproven and inflammatory.
Second the margins any time they have been brought up have been openly discussed and disclosed transparently in this forum post, so those who have read such and choose to continue to play accepting them as they are do so of their own accord with an understanding of such. Those who play without researching and reading the forum posts also do so of their own accord.
Third if you have concerns voice them directly as you have. If you find they are dismissed unfairly or answered unsatisfactorily it is your choice to continue to use the service or not.
Finally this is Eve where each individuals actions are their own, to accept, reject, defend and be accountable for. I will thank you not to speak as those you represent the whole customer base and speak only for yourself and others who choose to have you speak for them. I certainly do not.
In closing I am certain there will be those who choose to pick apart and troll my comments. Again it is to be expected.
I have spoken my peace.

Alot of us play for the fast action. If there was a stupid time limit on blinks i wouldnt play. You have a choice...if you are so concerned simply dont play, go play one of the thousand other lotteries that take weeks to fill. There are choices out there.....choose.

Hmmm just a little suggestion about the implementation - maybe consider adding a bit (a bit more?) of AJAX into the mix? Its a huge winner as far as usability of a site like this I think, no more mindlessly spamming refresh to see when Blinks finish 
Also perhaps add another category of blinks for frigates and the like, since they seem to move alot quicker than the cruiser hulls that also take up the normal Blink spots. Something like Minor Blink.
Also maybe add the standard battle-cruisers to the Blink list, they are a high use item with a fair price (Blink around the price of a dictor?) that could move quickly.
Just some ideas I had - probably useless but heh  __________________________

Oh yeah AJAX always requires alot of thought to the implementation otherwise you can indeed end up hurting yourself more than helping, not to mention to possibility to leave a massive security hole if it is implemented incorrectly.
Perhaps have the browser do the lifting by requesting a new connection every x seconds and then closing it - rather than leaving it open? Not sure about the overhead of opening and closing sockets/connections using Ajax though - bit of a Java nut myself  __________________________

Excellent fun and superb in-game service from Somer & Co. Blown through about 750m worth of gambling, and all prizes were delivered incredibly quickly, exactly as advertised.

here are my top 10 reasons to play blink 1.) better than station spinning 2.) you pick what to play for 3.) scam free 4.) somerset is a cool dude and responds to eve mail. 5.) better than any other lotto I have came across 6.) easy pick up in Jita for most ships 7.) I won a gaurdain for less than 18mil 8.) achivements add more fun to a already fun game 9.) when you win you have the choice of the thing ya won, ISK, or more blink credits. 10.) though it may be just as addictive its better than smoking crack |

In all Honesty i think your Lottery system is a scam or your code is being hacked by people who know what there doing.
i ran a test Last night sent you some isk and placed bets on 5 blinks. with 3 tickets to each blink..
i never won on any of them. a player named Horny Emma won 9 times in a row on 1 number... NINE times! i see other name on there constantly the same players wining constantly every time on 1 number. even that stat sheet most wins its the same poeple over and over again.
just seems very fishy to me. [url=http://killboard.systematic-chaos.eu/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=72715] [/url] |

Curious about your observations, did Horny Emma buy more than one ticket? If so did s/he buy the same numbers all the time? When you say "won 9 times in a row on 1 number" do you mean s/he won by buying the number 1 nine times? or was it different numbers but only one ticket?
The reason I ask is Ive noticed similar patterns and wanted some more information. Im a Somer supporter and dont think he is doing anything on purpose but its possible that more nefarious people are taking advantage by some means.

how about a probibility % next to each player e.g 12.5% and changes with the amounts of tickets they have Blinked.
What about a double or nothing option when you cash in the ship you just won for blink credits.
how about Blinking on the winning number of a blink... Micro blinking

Holy crap, I've been playing your lotteries, and then the blinks, and while I hadn't won a whole lot, I have been having fun. I won a dramiel in your lottery earlier this year (and got a kill in it a few hours after I picked it up) and a harpy the other day in a blink. But tonight, wow, I won a loki and a few minutes later I won a sleipnir. I almost wet myself, thanks!

Suggestion: Would be great to see the ISK-per-blink cost directly in the list of available ships, next to the ships name. This way you would A) see the blink cost without having to select the ship and hit the "blink!" button and B) be able to see the cost even if no blink slots are free (and the button doesn't even show up).
Anyway, great game, in addicted :D Regards

PS: And C): Decision for a new blink would be faster!

Hello again
Do these new rules just all out forbid the use of alts because earning some achievements on them is inevitable? I have a very good reason to use an alt: namely to blink on frigs (as I am very close to being locked out of Jita) so I won't be able to get them any more with my main character. So could we, for example, still use an alt but without using butan?

what kind of excuse is this? Use your main for blink... claim the price and after you claimed it create a private contract to your alt!?! Or just tell one of SOMER's corp to create contracts to your alt instad of your main.. iam sure they'll do it.

Thanks for checking! This is intended to negate people using alts to collect free achievement money from "butan" and free promos that are "1 ticket per person". I will revise accordingly. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

I'm sorry to hear you are having a run of bad luck.
On a small blink, there are 8 tickets, so your odds of winning are X in 8, where X is the number of tickets you hold. In this case, each ticket has a 12.5% chance of winning.
On the mega blinks, there are 16 tickets, so your odds there are X in 16, where X is the number of tickets you hold. In this case, each ticket has a 6.25% chance of winning.
For blinks with other numbers of tickets, your odds are X in Y, where X is the number of tickets you hold, and Y is the total number of tickets.
You can figure out the exact % chance by dividing the number of tickets you hold by the total number of tickets, and multiplying the result by 100.

Price of tickets increased in response to the latest Jita price fluctuations.
Payout should have also increased correspondingly if you take the buyout; it definitely didn't decrease any. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Over 25% of the Utu blink has sold! Remember that your first ticket earns you 50M of Blink credit, while your fifth ticket gives you half a BILLION worth of Blink credit... that's more than you pay for the ticket! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

We are almost to 50% of the Utu blink sold! Tell your friends about one of the few chances to win this unique ship.
Also, watch the Blink site for chances to win an Utu ticket for as little as 10m :) --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Don't be misled by cheap Blink imitations from people with no reputation :) Blink is the only microlottery site to have handed out hundreds of billions of ISK in prizes through our unique lottery system! Remember that while the Utu blink is active you receive 10% bonus credit if you exchange prizes for Blink credit! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

A competitor of yours has an interesting idea, a second place price equal to the price on an entry. It would be nice to have this for big prizes, like blinks with ticket cost more than 10mil, or 16 tickets.

So that people can see at quick glance what they need to get that chivment.

I think an "open-ended" Blink would be a pretty neat idea... For example...
HULK BLINK X tickets 20mil blink.
if "Y" amount is reached in a certain time frame then "Z" prizes will be added to the prize. (fittings, additional prizes, maybe possible refund of Blink credit)
Just some food for thought, and if not then free Blink Bump!

Blink is awesome, even if it did take me forever to win. As for suggestions, anything to lessen the sting of losing. Something akin to "Reward Points" or the like (separate from blink credit and achievements, of course, and not used for anything big or pricey).
Also, if I win the Utu, I'm totally turning it into blink credit. (kidding)

Somer lotteries have given me back some of the faith I had lost with the various lottery systems in game. Their employees are very courteous and helpful. The prizes are handled in a very timely fashion. If could only offer a means to train skills faster so I could get into my newly won Widow :) Thanks again Somer Blink Blink Blink and when your done Blink again :)

There are plenty of lotteries in EVE that are completely safe, but none are as addicting or fun as blink.

Nope you're good, we'll figure it out.
Yes, achievements can only be unlocked once. But there are achievements after a 100M deposit achievement, like 500M / 1B / 5B / 10B. These are cumulative, so you'll work toward them as you play blink!

Somer,
suggestion for the "Blink Slot Available" box, how about only showing ships/items that are actually available? Filter out the list to blink/big blink/mega blink?
Or maybe just break down that drop down list into their blink/big blink/mega blink categories before listing the ship type and ship name. |

Edited by: Napoleon Baleine on 19/10/2010 15:23:34 Somer. I suggest you add blinks for raw ISK like your new competitor.
Also, it would be nice, when you start a blink, to be able to modify the number of slots you want, perhaps from 2 - 16. Anything bigger and the blinks would stay too long. This would enable people to balance risk/reward as they choose as the cost of a blink would be lowered for more slots or heightened for less slots.
These two changes would see me use blink a lot more.
EDIT: Or you could create another page that would be high risk 50/50 blinks and keep the current page for normal blinks. This would increase your work load but you'd make double the money.
I bet a lot of people would prefer to have a 50/50 shot at something instead of ****ing away 2.5-3 mil on a bunch of blinks they probably won't win.

Great idea, well executed and it will make the creators lots of isk. I went 0/10 and am out 50 million but whatever. I can do math so I don't know what I was expecting... I might return for super rare items but for most frigate class ships you are better off just going and buying them.

In fact, only a few people are very rude in his chat, and it seems there are those people everywhere anyway. So to say that he surrounds himself with rude people is inaccurate.

a) When I start a new bink and search and click the ships name it should directly go to the bink page, saves a click.
b) If a large bink isn't available then filter out the ships which aren't available for a bink yet
c) email notification if I won (or lost), let the user choose this (is it at all possible to email in game?)
d) Better Achievement layout, its hard to see what I have and which not

About half of the 3 Billion ISK deposited went into the UTU Blink which I lost, the remaining ISK went towards big ticket blinks like faction battleships and carriers which racked up the 7.7Bil ISK value in winnings.
Give Blink a try, I'd recommend starting with 100mil or more, but as you can see if you've got the ISK you can make a good run at some winnings, but it does take persistance until you hit a good streak.
Just remember the other golden rule of Eve Online, don't bet what you can't afford to lose!  |

hi, i think it would be an improvement to see what each ticket wouldcost beforehand when i want to start a new blink. so that i wouldnt have to leave the auctionsite, then look what the ticket for the desired item would cost and then go "damn i have to little", or "how much is that compared to the other thing i want" so that i can do it in somekinda overwiew mode, and not go back and forth between blink setup and blink choose item pages. sincerly, pateren

Idea. A companion site for more lower end ships and mods. Would allow for people that don't have, or want, to spend a min of 2mil isk on a blink to play. could also be considered a gate-way drug for the main site.

Absolutely love this game
Currently won, Drake, tempest, Navy caracle, Dram, and a whole shed-load of AF's and covops. All prizes were delivered very quickly, or isk paid promptly if cashed in.
My richer corp-mates have won Pirate/ faction BS's and T3's, also delivered promptly (less than 12 hours in most cases)
By god this is one hell of an addictive game, finally have something good to do during those "ship-spinning" moments...
Thank you.
CCP should pay you some serious cash to add this to WIS, possibly the only reason I'd bother getting out of my ship. Just imagine a Blink Casino in a station near you....

ive been playin tis for about 2hrs now, deposited 125mil and won up to 337mil back already.
i'd recommend this to anyone, its fun and as always theres the risk of winning/losing which is the essence of all gamblin which makes it enjoyable.

How I learned to stop staring and love to blink.
I used to treat the eve lottos w/ love/hate. Loved to play, then 1-4 weeks go by and then hate them cause I WOULD NEVER SEE MY NAME. Billions upon billions lost to shmo's who could drop 20bil each lotto to win a supercap. (So tired of the cap lottos)
Then I found Somer. She winked. I blinked. I was hooked. I've been winning like crazy lately. In the past week I've won: slave set, bhaalgorn, machariel, couple cynabal, like 10 dramiels, phantasms, navy slicers, loads more faction stuff and tons of t2 ships. Now my win % really isn't that great. But the pure randomness is so fun and it gets me thru the dull eve hours when waiting for manu/research to finish. It's gotten even more fun hanging in the blink channel either cheering someone's win or telling someone how much I lovingly hate them for their good fortune. I fly w/ blinkers on now, as should you if you're a fan of doin little happy dances when you win something sweet.

Few suggestions: -In myblinks tab- last fifty blinks, have items in fulfillment process all at top of list. -in achievments, i keep forgeting what ships i haven't won, somehow show what still need -the ship/item window will only get more awesome. needs to be bigger or side slide, side slides coming back big time. -Main somer site for suggestions, use this forum to brag of me winnings. (thanks again for the huge goodie bag of ships/implants!!!!)

Hi Somer,
Someone before mentioned a lot of scrolling. Since there is a lot of space either side of the blinks, maybe instead of display one column of blinks you could display two?
It would be a small change but I think it would be appreciated because:
a) You could see most of the Blinks currently active without having to scroll all the way down b) The latest Blinks and their winners would be more easily viewed c) Currently you can't tell if you've won a Blink unless the blue box comes up. If you don't have a blue box when you refresh the page there is a moment of "OMG DID I LOSE? :(" before you scroll down and find that the Blink is still active. This suggestion might alleviate that a little. Personally, when I'm playing some high stakes Blinks with my limited amount of ISK, it's annoying to have a mini heart attack every time I refresh :P

Great game. I just started today and lost a bit but such is the risk. I Heard about this from my CEO who also plays. He seems to win every Blink I go for (perhaps you can fix that bug :P). I lived in Reno,NV and gambled often, played online poker/slots from time to time, I have to say this is much more addicting.
I read most the reply posts but there were too many to read them all, however, I have a suggestion about the frigate margin problem if it hasn't already been suggested. Perhaps an option could be to offer delivery at the "Blinkers" expense. I'm sure most won't mind a small delivery fee and on the flip side it may entice some Blinkers to reintegrate their winnings to keep playing.
This truely is a wonderful addition to Eve. I too agree Blink should be integrated into walking in stations (WIS) although i'm pretty sure we would see a huge drop of pilots in space :P.

Great idea you guys have got here, it's really addicting. My only suggestion is maybe a semi-regular update on achievements, as a gamer I can say it'll really bring out the competitive streak in a lot of people and make them bid on blinks they otherwise wouldn't just for bragging rights. Also, maybe there could be an iphone app down the line, people need something to fill the hole in their hearts after capsuleer went under, and what better to fill that than gambling

Possibly already mentioned, but it's be nice if, when clicking an item to start a new blink with, the section on the right should show the blink's preview or a stats section for it, with number of tickets available, ticket costs, normal/big/mega blink, etc. Possibly going as far as to add an item stat (how many times each items gone up, which ticket number has won it most often, etc etc. Little trivial bits of information which are still pretty cool while you're waiting for your blink to finish :)

The items you are requesting are already Blinked :) I'm not sure about Snake specifically, but there are Crystal and other implant sets, plexes, and commonly used faction mods like the CNIF.

I am SO sorry about this. My server provider upgraded MySQL last night without telling me, and insodoing, left a setting turned on that messes with apostrophes.
This has all been fixed and all people with apostrophes in their names are back up and running. Please mail me so I can apologize directly. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Hi egola! Thanks for playing with us.
We had seven 1-ISK promos yesterday, some of which filled up in under five minutes. I try to spread them out throughout the day so that everyone gets a chance to play.
We'll be introducing collapsible blinks soon, so those may help you get a spot in time. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

The 12 (TWELVE!) 1 ISK promo.Blinks we ran today, items chosen mostly by request in channel:
5+ Federation Navy Large Plasma Smartbomb Federation Navy 100MN MicroWarpdrive 1000+ Exotic Dancers 5+ Federation Navy Medium Armor Repairer 5+ Federation Navy Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane 5+ Federation Navy Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane 1x Federation Navy Large Armor Repairer 3+ Shadow Serpentis Energized Thermic Membrane 2+ Shadow Serpentis Energized Reflective Membrane 2+ Dark Blood Reactive Plating 1+ Pillaging 101
And 1+ Interbus Shuttle
While it may seem like there aren't many promos - it's because the sheer popularity of Blink means that even a 100 ticket promo flies off the screen in a matter of minutes. :D

The original EVE betting game! Have spare ISK and want to do something exciting with it? Check out this game, tons of prizes to choose from! Want a Nightmare but only have 60m? Well try your luck on Somer Lotteries! Check the game site often for their awesome 1 isk promos, I just bet 1 ISK for a chance to win a PLEX! I would make one suggestion, make the bid price visible before opening the window to make a new blink. Well, *crosses finger* ,I hope I get that 1 ISK PLEX! Nuclear Arm Sex Change |

I believe Somer wanted more achievements? ;) One I thought of, is what is the current maximum on number of blinks, either with promos or without. Coudl we get an achievement for having a blink on EVERY blink currently up at one time? Perhaps a blink for winning with 2/3/4 blinks in a row, with no losses in between? An achievement for losing 30 in a row? =P Not sure what the limitations are on that!

No problem! All fixed up-- the software hangs up on what it thinks is the same person trying to get several tickets to 1ISK promos.

As a notorious faction ship fiend, I find the quick turnaround of blink lotteries to be a lot of fun. Now if Somer would just mod it so I won most of them...

In all seriousness, the Blink site is very high-quality, the prizes are almost literally anything you want them to be, and the overhead Somerset charges on a given item is exceedingly reasonable.

Id be surprised if you havent thought of this, but you should do smaller promo's that are satellites into super duper blinks that are meant to last for a little while.
Blink away a fully fit up package worth tons of isk, like 4b. Sell 8 slots. Then have smaller promo blinks where you are giving away a shot at that super duper blink, 100 slot promo @5.5m or something.

Seriously, if you haven't tried .SOMER.blink yet, you need to do it NOW. This is the GREATEST game I have played in my life. It is addicting and will keep you coming back while giving you the chance to make killer profit. This is really brought out by the promos, which offer things like faction ships with 75 tickets for 1 ISK each, with the catch that each person can only buy in 1 ticket. Join now and maybe you can catch the next massive promo blink that comes on, such as the Mimir promo that's about to go live!

Originally by: Xarnov Harley Seriously, if you haven't tried .SOMER.blink yet, you need to do it NOW. This is the GREATEST game I have played in my life. It is addicting and will keep you coming back while giving you the chance to make killer profit. This is really brought out by the promos, which offer things like faction ships with 75 tickets for 1 ISK each, with the catch that each person can only buy in 1 ticket. Join now and maybe you can catch the next massive promo blink that comes on, such as the Mimir promo that's about to go live!
Originally by: Xarnov Harley CONGRATULATIONS FIGHTER26 ON WINNING THE MIMIR BLINK! Winning ticket #47 earned Fighter26 a Mimir. What are her plans?
[01:17:34] Xarnov Harley > YOU JUST WON A MIMIR! What are you going to do next? [01:19:08] Fighter26 > Get a alt, get a gang together of old eve buds and use this thing [01:19:10] Fighter26 > Lets roam
Way to go Fighter26, hope you have some fun with that Mimir! Remember, anyone can enter SOMER.blink and win HUGE prizes! This is the second rare ship given as a promotion following the Utu, and there are more to come!
While this service is awesome (for making money off of), your use of alts somewhat dissapoints me

Much <3 great fun.
Achievements for a number of consecutive losses would be fun. Say 10, 25, 50 in a row.
Could encourage you to keep on going during a losing streak and go all zomghax when you win a raptor after 47 losses. |

Edit:
It accepted and credited my 15 mil, but not my 20 mil...
I found this one. You signed up after you deposited so the 20 mil didn't have anywhere to go.
I'm updating at 2010-10-30 09:29 Now handling #1184280692... No account for #1184280692, so 20000000 ISK is floating.

Hmm ever since i saw my first promo blink and how many tickets i thought it just looked off. Why not set up an new page within the blink site for the promo blinks. that way you dont have to constantly scroll down to find the present blinks and you have a way to lay out all the promo blinks(presently i'm trying bidding on a nightmare promo thats hiding under an ashimmu promo) This will also let you show a history of just the promo blinks.

Originally by: Agent Known I suggest some "more" faction/deadspace mods for those wanting to pimp out those ships they just won. 
Oh, and some player-specific stats would be nice: maybe a graph showing the numbers chosen for the blinks the player participated in. Could make math come into play (much like EvE eh?)
Well, the math for repeated random trials for this type is a good thing to look at too. I played about 200 blinks and I can say that the experienced probability does approach the expected value. Using that knowledge you can write the value of the trials and the payout, which accounts for the bonus 5% blink credit when you claim the buyout. There is no way to make money from the site in the long-run, but it sure is fun at first. I won lots of stuff -- Sleipnir, Vaga, Proteus, Daredevil -- and without cashing them out its still a loss.
On the whole, SOMER took about 130m off me. Well earned, I'd say.

Alright, so I decided to try this with only 100m to start off with.
Heres my stats: ISK Deposited100,000,001 ISK Blinks Played36 Promo Blinks Played0 Blinks Won7 Megablinks Won0 Win Ratio19.44% Value of Blinks Won176,000,000 ISK Winnings Transformed to Blink Credit31,185,000 ISK Winnings Transformed to ISK93,900,000 ISK
As you can see, theres 100m isk being played with. After using *all* the isk. I won a total of 176m isk, 31m of those were being converted into "blink credit". That should give me roughly 140m payout, but I only got 93.9m. It seems fishy to me. Am I getting the numbers wrong? Otherwise I can only see fraud of 50m from me, sorry :P untill I get a proper explanation.

Blink value is not the same as buyout value, there is a margin % included.
You do get a +5% bonus if you take Blink Credit instead of ISK. Or you can of course take the ship itself.
ISK values are designed to help you get ISK out of the system quickly. You can often get more by selling the ship yourself. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Presumably this is on my side. Basically when i try and register it tells me im alreayd logged in, and yet I'm not. I can see from a friends "Blink" sessions that you actually get to see your pilot when your logged in. I see **** all :(
Any chance you can assist please, so i can gamble my loots away. I'm not worried about Kurt, my account with Inari Ryosaki is of interest as i've already sent ISK in :)
thanks for your time

Any reason total blink value won was chosen as opposed to value of ships won ?
Total blink value won is irrelevant as thats not what your winnning isk wise.

Got some questions, yesterday i got in on a 150 ticket blink where tickets were 1 isk and i could only buy 1 ticket, what i completely understand. But are all 1 isk blinks 150 tickets? What are mimir - utu blinks?
The 1isk "promo blinks" vary in ticket number. Some are as low as 20-ish tickets, but 150 tends to be the upper range. Sometimes we have to use a larger number of tickets to give people a chance to get in on promos at all - and even the 150 ticket ones are typically gone in <10 minutes :p
The Mimir and Utu blinks were normal format blinks, people were able to buy as many tickets as they chose. The Adestra blink this Saturday will be the same :)

Reactivate my Amarr alt, that I use to play with my brother (The two of us in a corp we screw around in, although we've been inactive for a bit). Find a random corp in high-sec to dec, and blast at them with my over-priced faction toy, leading to either lots of lols and kill-mails, or one very rapid, very embarrassing killmail that I can laugh about for the rest of my time in Eve. I'd like to play it carefully, and see how many kills I can claim in it. I've never played in high-end ships before...It would be thrilling to try it out.

i find it one of the most trilling things you can do in eve! this baby has already had its fair share of kills so it wont let you down. good luck! (hoping for an image sig but i like witty remarks as much as the next drunkard)

Link to my entry, thought it would be fun to go with a fun version of this (Amarr center shield) and in honor of the event I was drinking doing this. Hope you like it bro.
If I won this Bhal Id bait t3s in low sec and teach them that old school ships can still kill b#@$#&s. Then just roam with it constantly till it died in a fire of awesomeness, taking multiple expensive ships with it. One things for sure, I wouldn't desecrate this god of eve by playing station games with it like some pilots do
Good luck with your picking and fly safe.

Hey, Okt. Your signature should be simply:

because 42 is the answer to everything. I hope I win. In all seriousness, your signature should be:
(yeah...)
And, if I get a faction fitted Bhaalgorn, I'll sell it. (lol) Or get it blown up once I train up Minmatar BS's.

Hi - I just had my isk swallowed by your blink website. I bid on the Firetail promotion (after lots of other blinks) and then logged on on my lappy so my g/f could log on on our desktop, only to be told that my account was closed due to abuse of a promotion by alts! My money was swallowed without refund or further explanation.
Is this site just a scam? or is this a genuine mistake?
I hope I hear from you soon please.

If your GF also plays EVE and has a seperate .blink account, it was auto-banned by the website because multiple accounts were detected on the same IP address. Talk to Somerset Mahm and she can unblock it.

[Oktoberfest] 'Just 1 more' Well I think i would just stare at the thing for a while, spin the ship like everyone has done at one point. Drink a bit before I take her out, so it dont hurt as much when I lose it to a ninja salvager, in a damn mission . Like that 37bil paladin . PS. I like shiny ships

Now to what I'd do with the Bhaal?
I'd probably fly it around a few times, get in a sticky situation or two - crap myself a few times - and then end up selling it (unless it pops before that). Hey, I'm being honest here!

tbh i think there are good times to have it and bad but in the end whatever time we had it, someone would be unhappy. the timer was put up to help this so you could set an alarm or stay up just late enough or get to bed that little bit early. If you are at work at the time, that wouldnt help but if you top up your account before hand, im sure alot of you could access a web browser durring a lunch break. the timer will help alot of people get in on the blink so good luck everyone!!!

Been a while since I posted in this thread. Just wanted to drop by and say tonight has been pretty great on Blink!
The promo blinks leading up to the Adrestia have been pwn! I finally won my first Promo Blink and the prize was a Gotan's Modified Warp Scrambler! You could imagine my surprise when I found out what the item was worth. :D
Cheers Somer for creating the service, and for Somer's staff!

I put 50 mil into this and the copycat service to check it out for tonight while we're spinning ships under war dec.
My goal was to make it last as long as I could so I've been playing promos and assault/faction frigs mostly. Won 2, around half my initial deposit worth. I could definitely get hooked on this though despite not coming out ahead. The game is very fun, and addictive!
On the other service I ended up breaking even but they seem to have a higher profit margin built in. The sense of getting ripped off there made the experience less fun, even though I played longer, more times and won more than with Somer.

Daily Report:
I sold a PLEX card that I had planned to use on my alt and put in 340M into blink. I won a Sin and a Hulk along with several other things I cashed in for more blink credit.
In short I came out with 250M profit. Another great day at blinking! Also almost 4.5T!

Hello!
We're always happy to reopen one account-- just contact me. The system will automatically close accounts that it suspects to be duplicates if they both play promo blinks.
In this case I see that two accounts from the same IP address, with the same password hash of 54ea9be9d0b2076fa355586c14cc03b84ad13c70, both played a promo blink. The accounts were automatically closed.
We're happy to either send your 9.1M back to your Eve wallet, or reopen one of the two accounts you were using. However, it does state that only one account per person should be used to play promo blinks. This gives everyone a fair shot! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

This is quite embarrasing. When I first did the sig I made sure it followed restrictions. Later I opened the file again to do some color correction and I must've accidently used the "Save As..." prompt instead of the "Save for web and devices..." one, which uses more aggressive compression. I have corrected this now.
14.8 KB (15,212 bytes) As you can see the quality is not any different from the image that exceeded the size limitation.
I'm very sorry, this is a screw up on my behalf, but it's an easy mistake to make tbh. As my original file was the correct size, I can see how this was overlooked on behalf of Oktober etc., who are not to be blamed in any way for the decision made.

Put 200 mil in last night before going to bed and threw it away on a couple of megablinks and one big blink.. woke up this morning and to my surprise I had won a Kronos, Moros and Tengu.. So that 200 mil came out as 1.7 bil or so. I'm a longtime spender there and this is by far my biggest win.

We should hit 5 trillion ISK today or tomorrow... I think there should be some rewards for that ;)
As always, watch the site to see what's coming! We've given away over 11 billion ISK of 1-ISK-entry promo prizes, as well as almost 250 billion ISK of achievement rewards!
There will be another very special blink this weekend. We'll be putting up a timer like we did last time, and hopefully the time will be more amicable for the UK crowd. Feel free to post your comments on the format of these "Giga Blinks"-- would you rather see more tickets? Different achievements? Just let us know here :) --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new!

So for the Win Ship achievement could it show how many or what is missing for a given achievement. For example; for the 25 enyo blink if it showed how many more I have to win to get the achievement or for the navy cruiser whats missing, that would be handy.

This! i had to get up at like 03:30 am just to make sure my isk had been transfered as the api was borked, Almost missed the blink too as it was\n't on the main screen lol.
I suggested it before and will again, how about T2 Rig blinks? not all of them ofc but a small selection of some of the higher priced ones (as per the mods) i.e. Medium Auxiliary Pump II's, Medium Trimark Armor Pump II's, Medium Core Defence Field Extender II's etc. Could do same with Large sized rigs aswell.

1st of all just want to say your a genius for setting up this site i have sold my house and my cars and my wife is leaving me but with my half of the divorce i will buy blink credit :)
2nd i have noticed that your best blinks i:e one offs and now your mothership are all put on to blink at roughly 1 am uk time (2am EU) i presume this is cos you are U.S. i and many others are usually in bed at that time and when we awake find that the tickets sold quicker than i could write this rant :( please could you do some of these amazing blinks at a more well rounded time or if possible do another aimed at eu players and god forbid the russians we cant forget about them too.
keep up the good work

Anybody else noticed Somer is quite tight on not having his ISK income margins revealed?
E.g.: He "sold" Dramiels for 8 tickets x 13m (=104m) when the prices on market were down to around 70 again ... now the ticket price is "back" to 12m (8x12m = 96m) ... yet Dramiels still leave Jita at around 70m.... an act of pure love!
I'd be interested if Somer is making real life money via that "Buy GTC" ad on the lottery webpage?
I got muted and blocked in "Somer Lotteries" channel, so I though I should ask in here. :)

in regards to the guy complaining bout the margins. its a lottery man do you expect the guy to make the website and put alot of time and effort into it and not take something of the top if he is making money out of this then fair play to him cos its a awesome game to play. gamblers that complain about these kind of things are ones that dont win alot.
somer keep up the good work and the guy that won the nyx well done ya jammy bugger :)

Originally by: Djavo If you don't agree with the margins, don't play.
Actually Somer is doing me a favor with setting those margins "that high". So arguing I'd be complaining about it is kinda nonsense, as I profit from it, too.
But the questions at stake, If some simple upfront questions about pricing and margins result in bans and stuff, are:
Does ISK corrupt players? Real money seems to be involved, I'm pretty confident that website isn't paid for with ISK. So a website paid for with real money is "generating" ISK? How much real money invested will "buy" Somer how much ISK by means of that Lotto website? Could it be seen as next generation RMT ?
And finally:
Would a business habit of avoiding or censoring questions be a solid fundament for providing 3rd party services?

I was in channel when you got banned. You were *****ing and moaning about them not giving away enough with the promos, one of the blink guys called you out for trying to screw with the market and make blink buy marked up pirate ships, then somer banned you.
They've told us all, the money they make off GTC's doesn't even pay for the hosting. And most every "big" eve site sells GTCs to try and offset hosting costs.

That Freki looks sexy, indeed. Blink is a lot of fun, but probably should come with a 1-800 # for people with a gambling problem. "Hello, and welcome to Blink Addicts Anon, or BAA for short. Remember, there are alternatives to podding yourself. Not to mention a 5% bonus for blink isk for a limited time only! Hello? Sir? Are you okay? Was that screaming?" Automation is Enlightenment. |

Ill reply for myself since I said a similar thing. I have already played and won several blinks in the past and now that I don't have any extra isk to drop into my account why should I leave the odd amount of 2,324,845isk just sitting around. Why not promo blink when I visit the site to check how its going still maybe once every few days untill I have more to deposit. Its not like I am getting a 1 isk promo ticket to these gigablinks that are going on. |

For folks who don't want/can't continue investing their own ISK in Blink, but still want to participate, we do provide butan bonus ISK often enough that you can always stay "promo-capable"
Granted, it takes more time on those people's part than just "check for free stuff, win free stuff" - but we had a deluge of promo-only alts, honestly. We had to find a way to continue rewarding real customers without allowing others to spoil the system.
We're still evaluating the current promo requirement, though, and are more than willing to listen to feedback on what you feel would keep promos viable. :)

Youre missing the point, it has nothing to do with a perfect world, but RL at least has things in place to help deter, prevent and stop things like this from happening, granted they dont always work but something is better than nothing. EVE lacks any such mechanism. If you think EVE is better than real life...well I feel sorry for you.

Jas, I'm not sure I understand your problem.
Do you mean each time you've gone to buy a ticket, it tells you the ticket was already purchased by someone else?
This happens occasionally during our higher-user times - Blinks can fill very, very quickly sometimes. If the blinks are filling faster than you can join them, try starting your own blink (bit lower down on the site) - just pick an item, confirm the price, and pick your first ticket choice. Nobody else gets a shot at it until you've bought your first ticket :) |

Hello! Thank you both for your kind comments.
The ISK Buyout for each item is displayed on the blink while it's running, in the bottom right corner. After you win, you can go to My Blinks and choose ISK to see the value of the buyout offer again. There's no obligation; you will always have the chance to confirm the buyout before accepting. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

I'll be keeping this short. If you have any questions, the answer is most likely the most obvious possibility.
The code for this place was reviewed last night, after a good long run of data mining and statistical normalization showed some very odd skew. Pardon the interference with the API...
Long story short: "Slot selection" is not pure randomization and is layered with a set of logic that conditionally skews towards a set of users configured in the database. Conditions will entail some tracking of previous skews, but also classification of 'blink' type. (Explained by some users who are both on the list getting into multi-slot buyout wars on the mega-blink, and revolving lots of them.. while bidding exclusively on these certain items/classes of items...)
Long version: The actual logic rolls a configured value (60%, as I recall) if the on-list gets a sub-set of logic to select the winner. Otherwise, it does a "pure randomization". If it decided the on-list one, only people on the 'blink' from the list stored in the database are checked for winning, but the skew has various layers of persistence checking (can't let the same guy cheat-win too often, yes?) of previous skews, and item class and item type configurations for different usernames. All in all, I would talk for a long time to explain this fully. Leave it as "your on a list, you use certain ones, you get to win".
Wether or not these on list people are real people playing or some form of HTTP-bot is unknown, database stamps on blink wins on many of them showed wins spread throughout 24-hour cycles, with moderate gaps in between. Others showed dense massive sporadic 'blinks' being played like a normal human playing.
All techno-jargon aside, anyone who wants to roll their eyes should point out that in reality.. gambling (these are slot machines) is regulated for a reason. The best eve-scams are less known because they spread their effects across more entities. You just hear about the ones that have a single entity with a big price tag. Remember, CCP supports scamming as legit gameplay, even if external site... as long as some rules that may overlap "gold sales" and "macros" are not are followed.
You don't need to read the code to know it's scamming: Write a simple script. Have it get the "Slot #" for all wins. Apply normal statistical normalization analysis to it (google the word Statistical Normalization... This is how we got tipped off.) These are the same methods used commonly in this field. Once you prove the output is bad, that should be enough to know a scam is on.
They can call it a "bug" if they want, then they better apply their own site policy and return the isk. :) oh wait, it's a scam. They won't. :)
Be well, people. Remember, don't take my word for it... apply common sense and normal statistical analysis practices you can read off the internetz and a data miner and that's all the proof you need.
PS. I don't read forums. I will supplying zero replies to this post and I will just auto-reject convo's in game. I have nothing else to say on this matter.

I dont see why they would need to scam, so far by their own statements and figures on somer.blink, they have made 20% of 7 TRILLION ISK.
That is a lot of ISK out of the general game, and many many more plex that will need to be bought, keeping CCP happy also.
Better tbh people learn how gambling works in the long term with ISK, rather than real life money.
CCP - Win Somer - Win Players - Might learn a lesson :)

Phew, that's quite a read... although it is all indeed quite unfounded.
I should note that we do publish our random number draw code, and it's exceedingly simple: http://somer.idiofx.com/blink/roll_winner.php
The function simply opens a call to random.org and stores the result. Nothing more.
I find it tasteless to suggest that you have performed a "code review" when you of course have no access to the code behind Blink.

Let the trolls roll.
NB: I was wondering if T2 ammo bp's or "packs" was possible.
Of course the price/blink will not be the samme for the same nbr of ammo, but the idea is most like small ships blink that every one likes and ready to blink at any time at any hour.
Of course this could add some awesome achievements to

See bolded text at bottom for summary.
Having no real care for the machinations of the greedy, I am making one reply due to the swarm of eve-mails (CSPA charge on..), but mostly due to the direct request of some friends. Please note two things that were stated before that basic reading comprehension missed.. 1. assume the most obvious of responses to any questions (apparently, inserting assumptive stupidity was the norm in the reply) and 2. I really won't foster any more responses to this gas bagging; contextual replies at the request from friends is this only reason for this one.
Originally by: Somerset Mahm
Phew Splatterbug, that's quite a read... although it is all indeed quite unfounded.
Re: Unfounded; As stated, the basic application of statistical normalization to either A: the purported statistics or B: manually mined statistics from a polled logging of all "rolled slots" indicates this skew. That is a matter of 'basic' fact. Gas baggery to the contrary is a simple attempt at diverting people from making an effort.
Originally by: Somerset Mahm
I should note that we do publish our random number draw code, and it's exceedingly simple: http://somer.idiofx.com/blink/roll_winner.php
Re: opensourced code; Saying "this is used" is not proof of what is used. See 'Re: Unfounded' for the real methods of proofing such a thing (Ie, the output.) This is already readily apparent by evidence of de-normalized results during conditions of higher volume density, when normalization more likely.
Originally by: Somerset Mahm
The function simply opens a call to random.org and stores the result. Nothing more.
Re: Use of random.org; Unless random.org has facilities for validation of it's use for a specified application purpose, see above regarding code.. "Saying" isn't "proving".
Originally by: Somerset Mahm
I find it tasteless to suggest that you have performed a "code review" when you of course have no access to the code behind Blink.
Re: tasteless.. no access; Again, assume the obvious. If a code review was performed, and the only question is "how?", and I intentionally stated I was not directly involved with any "hacking" of a site then the answer is obvious. Sidestepping the fact the API downtime was directly attributed to the event is good attempted P.R., but at this point such useless attempts at ignoring the obvious are just attempts at fooling the dumber people into continuing to be scammed. Besides, all you can do by claiming noone can review your code is supporting the fact that it's your word stating your methods, without validation, are the ones actually used. That's no route to win this debate. Nor would me posting your code. Hence, I beckon anyone to review your output and wonder "wow. that's not random."
Originally by: Somerset Mahm
I make my Internet-spaceships living by dealing fairly and honestly with people. Your complex formulations of big words combined with nebulous data you appear to have made up from thin air are baseless.
Re: baseless; See all my statements about data validation. Otherwise, I could really care less about more gas bagging or whatever. "I don't lie" is usually what politicians say to cover up an inquiry of their lying.
The proof is in the basic statistical analysis of the sites own output. A script which loops every 10 seconds and grabs the "last 10" blinks, removing duplicates, and logging the numbers is all that is needed... You can find any NUMBER of methods for analyzing that data on the internet.
The plain fact this SIMPLE methodology is being ignored as the focus of my statements, and some kind of "you can't see our code", "this is the code we use even though we cannot prove it", and all the other replies, is proof enough to many people who did not already believe me at first in direct discussions to now say "wow, they did intend all this. Why don't they just validate their rolls?"
duh. That is all. I have real things to do over worrying about Yet Another Eve Online Scam.

Every now and again, some variation of the "Scamming!" theme pops up.
To address yours, and the next guy's, confusion about randomness:
Re: Might not be using code we claim we're using. Our code isn't publicly available, this is absolutely correct. We've already had look-alike fly-by-nights copy our site as nearly as they could manage. Putting the code up publicly would be at best, suicidally stupid. Not because some dark secret would be uncovered, but because the explosion of "Bob.wink lotto!" sites would be prolific. This all aside, even if we opened up the doors and posted every line publicly, this "MIGHT STILL BE USING DIFFERENT CODE" claim would go unaddressed. That said, we don't have any interest in making our work so easily thieved, even if that would quell this concern.
Re: Random.org validation. Not a problem. :) The most salient bit being: "Random.org passes the NIST test suite; its pass rates and uniformity checks are in line with what NIST considers sufficient to be deemed random. Random.org can now be recognised as passing the industry standard suite of tests."
To save time, returning to point 1, you have no guarantee other than our word that we're using random.org like we've said.
Now, for the sake of any readers who skimmed your posts, you're essentially saying that by recording the names/winning numbers of our site, one can see a statistical aberration, where certain numbers or people win more often than they should.
So, this accusation boils down to you claiming we're cheating, in the form of "rigging" blinks towards our own alts, or friends, or what amounts to secret house bets.
I'm assuming that you don't believe the statistical aberration is huge, or it would have been more quickly/easily noticed. Aiming towards the "easily noticed" side of statistics, let's say 10% of blinks are "rigged" so the house takes the pot, rather than a genuine winner. 90% would still have to pay out to "real winners" to keep the "cover story" active, in this scenario.
So, for 10% more earnings, we could risk the entire concept, Somer's reputation built over dozens of pre-blink lottos (and hundreds of secured lottos/other 3rd party services), and what sounds like a fair bit more work (creating alts to soak the "cheat blinks"). And 10% "false payouts" would be absurdly high for trying to "fly below notice" on cheating. More realistically, to have gotten away with it over 70k+ blinks, it would have to be more around 2-3%.
Alternatively, we can run it straight, make a nice living, and not go peeing in the stream we drink from. Lottos are profitable, and there is no secret about that. We don't have to cheat. We profit honestly. Cheating would, in fact, destroy a successful, stable, and reliably profitable business in this case.
Also, if we really wanted to run this type of system, we could have done so honestly and openly as well. Making the last ticket in each blink a "house bet" is a common gambling mechanism. There wouldn't be a need for secrecy if we had wanted to go that route. We didn't, and don't.
But if you truly feel like you've found a real statistical aberration, please, by all means - send us your data sets. But, as above - we only have a maximum of 70k data points for a first data set, so a hard statistical treatment will be difficult with your much smaller set.
And, finally - blink on 5. We fixed it so 5 always wins.

Originally by: Splatterbug *drivel with just enough vaguely technical (yet meaningless) allusions to hook the attention of anyone casually perusing
I have no idea whether Blink is or is not a scam, as has been mentioned several times in this thread, it's mind bogglingly profitable in a legitimate sense, and has dealt with certain bumps in an honourable manner, which tend to argue against such a judgment.
Disclaimer aside, there are incredible leaps of logic in what I hesitate to call your 'argument'.
Your first post alludes to an artificial weighting in the RNG preferencing people on a supposed 'list' and giving them an appreciable, but not too obvious advantage, skewed based upon value and presumably category. All very impressive, and supported by allusions to mysterious 'database stamps' which reveal (through some arcane and undeclared methodology you somehow forget to specify) a sorry tale of corruption.
I'll leave aside the utter absurdity of describing anything you did as Statistical Analysis - which equates in my field to interpreting blood results to diagnose anaemia as using 'Medicine' - because we soon learn the mysterious database you somehow gained access to is one you cobbled together by leeching results - these mysterious stamps are therefore whatever the hell you programmed them to be.
It gets better though - further unspecified 'analysis' shows an obvious skew towards certain blink slots! Well, in the first instance, as a sometime roulette player that's hardly surprising. Secondly, how long exactly have you been running this mysterious analysis? What's your sample size? I'm not sure how you like to do these things, but when you announce a clear skew in a simple random number generator I expect (at the very (pitifully) least) a sample size and a basic monte carlo sim illustrating a statistically significant divergence in the results.
Anyway, since you apparently have endlessly fascinating evidence pointing to a secret preferenced client list, a machiavellian algorithm which lets them win a lot (but not TOO much), and clear proof of a flaw in the random number generator I await your full results with interest.
Otherwise it really is, to use your own slightly curious terminology, gas-baggery.
Also, you have one hell of a cheek accusing the whole thing of being a scam when you personally won most of the blinks I bid on yesterday.
A bad day to you sir!

You have to deposit your isk to the corporation, not to Somer herself. Send her a mail and I'm sure she can take care of you when she gets back from vacation.
To those complaining about slow payouts in the channel, most of the blink employees are from the states and this is a major holiday weekend. Give 'em an extra day.

I first heard about Blink on the main Eve login page when I saw the theft article, now I have never been a hardcore player, indeed my playtime is rather sporadic, so most of my dealings with other players in Eve(anything having to do with money at least) have been 95% figuring out how they are attempting to scam me. So as I read this article about 110 Billion ISK theft in a lottery setup that didnÆt even seem to make a dent really interested me, mainly that the scale of this would seem to suggest that it would have to be legit.
I went onto the site and tried to figure out the scam, how are they going to rip me off, deciding that it did appear legit, I figured I would give it a shot. Being the total nub that I am, I didnÆt have a clue how to give money to a corp, so I messaged Somer, at the time I somehow didnÆt put it together that Somer was the one who set it all up, but either way I was helped in an extremely nice and professional manner, and then proceeded to lose every ISK that I had.
So after doing the math(since I had completely run out of money) I figured out how it makes it worthwhile to run legit, each blink is worth 120% of the buyout, so they make money no matter what, this was actually a comfort to me as it would seem that it would be much more profitable to play this whole thing legit then it would ever be to rip people off(go ahead and speculate on how much larger the margin is if they make the ships themselves, I have).
Around a week later of random missioning I had about 100 mil again, and it was my birthday! So getting home around midnight, I decided to talk it over with Jack Daniels and we decided(sigh at drunken decision making) that it would be a good idea to sink it all in again and have some fun.
This is where it got fun, out of that 100 mil, I won close to 1.2 Billion. A lot of it was put back into the system with the 5% bonus, but I ended up at the end of the night walking away with 450 Mil ISK and a brand new Navy Domi that I am missioning in as I type this.
I have lost some more since then, but I have always had fun while doing it, and everyone with Somer has been very helpful and always friendly, so much so that I have recommended this site to several people, all of whom love it(some maybe a bit too much).
Basically in closing just remember that Somer.Blink is like a casino, you walk in knowing the odds are stacked against you, that you will get money if you win it fairly, and to just enjoy the time you spend doing it.
I know that I really enjoy playing, and if you read this, or just skipped to the end I hope that you will give it a try and enjoy it as well.

REALLY satisfies my gambling addiction.
CONSIDERABLY more satisfying than waiting weeks for flippin' lottos to sell out.
This is really...impressive...and (you gotta make the leap with me here so I don't have to write a paragraph to explain) definitely part of what makes EVE so damn cool...

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?

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.

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.

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 :)

Well my guess would be that you have bad luck coupled with playing a single number on each one, most of the big winners(Cough Tykon) play half the numbers so that accounts for the higher win rates. Figure on a normal 8 Blink you have a 12.5% chance of winning playing a single number, but if you played 4 numbers you have a 50%, so you should have gotten lucky a couple of times, but if you were jumping around you apparently just got unlucky.

Just a piece of constructive criticism. When you say Slave or Crystal Implant Set, it kinda denotes the Omega is included since, well, its part of the set. Don't bury the fact the omega isn't included in a mouse over...

I've really enjoyed the site. I like the new format for the Promos, gets them out of the way aftet I buy a ticket.
I'd like to see the Stats page expanded a bit, maybe show the 10 most Blinked ships.
Overall, I'm really having a good time with this whole thing.

Edited by: StabHore on 16/12/2010 21:17:20 TBH, I'm a bit surprised how popular this is.
You have awarded 10.4 trillion isk in prizes, while the house makes a bit under 2 trillion in the same period, and people praise you for it.
Maybe the EVE population is getting jaded over a good use of their time, but then again, this is EVE we are talking about.
Ninja fake edit: Before you start bickering over numbers let me walk you through it.
10,420,647,424,620 in prizes out. 2,709,368,330,401 in the houses margin (average is about 26% difference between the value of the item and the total ticket cost) Minus 453,969,000,000 in 'achievement' credit given to blinkers Also subtract the 700(ish) promos that have run, giving them a gracious value of 500 mil each, which is very forgiving since a lot of faction frigs/skills/etc worth much less makes it about a 345 billion hit to the house.
House is left with a shade under 2 trillion isk and somehow the players are left with a smile on their face.
Scary thing is on the black market (RMT) its like my yearly salary ($70k USD)
So Somer: BMW or downpayment on a house?

Heyo Stab :)
Appreciate the interest :)
Sadly, your numbers on our profit margins are a bit off. I won't lie, I wouldn't be sad if they weren't, though. :p
There are quite a few internal/operational expenses that aren't in your calculations. Also, we've done our best to be generous to the Eve community in response to our success. We've made large donations to Eve Uni, and we sponsor Agony U PVP classes for those that can't afford it. We even tried to give a chunk to RvB, though they never got back to us. All in all, while we do make enough ISK to make it worthwhile to continue - most of it we try to get back into the community in good ways. We're still taking suggestions on new deserving groups for this, btw :)
But, to address your more central point, yep - Blink is a business, and we do make some ISK off it. It's gambling, and I think our customers are all aware of the risks of loss they take when they gamble.
But we always do our absolute best to make the gambling fun and exciting. We weren't required to give away that 345 BILLION worth of promos, or the 454 BILLION worth of achievement ISK. We even made a way (Butan trivia) to try and allow those who want to play a little for absolutely free to be able to. The ISK amounts those things add up to is not small in anyone's Eve - and they aren't things we had to do. We do it to make Blink more fun :)
I think our customers have a good time with Blink. I know I always have a good time hanging with them in our channel. And we're always receptive to anyone that has suggestions on how to make the service more fun - even if that fun hurts the financial bottom line sometimes.
As to the "down payment" comment - I promise, we HATE RMT. There are numerous things we could have done to increase our legitimate business - ISK transfers through the site between players, account balance withdrawal, et cetera - but we specifically chose not to do those things because it would draw in ISK-laundering RMTers and benefit their business.
I'm fairly certain CCP watches any high-ISK-turnover business closely for this kind of thing. I definitely hope they do, and that they'd come down with a swift ban-hammer on anyone doing it.
We play Eve too, afterall :)

It could be worse. Somerset could have stolen 25b from someone in a contract scam.

Edited by: Minerva Skye on 17/12/2010 09:04:41 Well I'm up by about 500mil on Blink now, probably gonna take a break from throwing money at it until I've got more disposable isk, it fun but of course it is, as all gambling like this is, favoured towards the house winning, which is fine tbh, but be aware that this is not a get rich quick scheme although if your lucky you have the chance of increasing your in game wealth substantially from it.. or if your unlucky and have an addictive personality then you will be bankrupt within an hour

Mister Butan, win me this blink. Let's pick a number, which one do you think? I'd go with four, but Quaz always beats me. Instead we'll have to bid on number three!

You do realize that they did this with Chribba's Dice tool, and that with the number of tickets L'amour bought he had about a 1 in 11 chance of winning?
Are you calling Chribba out as a fraudster?
As for the time it takes to bonk that many bonks, you couldn't just set up a mouse clicking macro, right? People were also saying you could just click once and hold down your Enter key and it would keep bonking until you let go.

As above - this draw was done with Chribba's dice tool. Unless you're accusing him of being one of our alts too? :P
Yes, we took a loss on this. We intended to. It was part of our 10T celebratory give away. We specifically added prizes as the Bonk ticket number got into the "we're making money" numbers, twice, to avoid profit.
The NUMEROUS promos mentioned earlier in the thread were also part of that, and were all done at 1 isk. Several of the folks who won those have posted here as well, on their mains. :)

Originally by: Soji Kanagawa Seems like its the same group of people who continously win anything worth while on there
I can see how it would look that way. However, if you invested the isk and blicked on the amount of numbers they do then you would be one of the "same group". I would do it too if i had the isk to invest. Unfortunately i dont and therefore i only blink when i get some spare isk. i'm not doing too bad....

If they were going to scam us, by always having their alts win, don't you think they could probably afford an alt less memorable than L'amour Sausage? FFS, do you see how many tickets he bought?
You notice all the times people win, but nobody EVER seems to notice how many times people lose, much less how many tickets they buy.
Iella Wesirri bought 3.5 BILLION ISK worth of tickets for this and didn't win. Make sure you take that into account next time you see her win something.

Blink is so awesome; I managed to win an Obelisk in a promo about a week ago, which was absolutely amazing. Using the money from selling it to finance some trading, I'm now up to ~1.3B in total ISK, my first time with anything near that amount of money. In short, Blink has made my wallet very very happy this past week. You guys rock!

I've played quite a bit and have had fun. A few of these people need to play the lottery in RL. I watched a guy a few days ago win at least 3 plexes in a row betting on one number "5".. You can log in and prolly see him sitting on one now. Not saying its rigged, just some lucky people.
As far as the bonkers, I personally couldnt stand to sit there and hit it 50 times much less 15k times. But if you can sit in a belt for 12hrs a day staring at rocks it not impossible to believe someone would bonk that much.

I just won a Vigilant and a Machariel in a game run by Oktoberfest Mahm in the SOMER Lotteries channel. The objective was to find and pod Oktoberfest's alt, who was APing between trade hubs in highsec. Whoever delivered the corpse to Oktoberfest in Jita got a faction BS of choice.
It was awesome! I won during the second round. The guy who podded the alt in the first round didn't get the corpse, so Oktoberfest added a prize for getting the kill; a faction cruiser of choice.
Oktoberfest said that he will be running the game again, so keep a lookout for an obvious alt of Oktoberfest Mahm's.

"Christmas is almost here folks! From now until December 25, any ISK deposited to S0MER Blink with the reason "Blinkmas" will be given 25% extra Blink Credit on Christmas!"
And here another one from Andrew Nox:
"Apologies for the spam, folks - the mail sent out by "SOMER Santa" is a scam, and not from us at Blink. Do not send ISK to that corporation. :)
Cheers for blinking! -A"
Take care where you guys are sending your isk because between "SOMER Blink" and "SOMER BLINK" ther's something different. scum should be defenitivly banned from the game.
OC CCP rules ... are fine [or not]
Take care you guys from Somer, and wish you merry christmas like to every one around here.

Edited by: Nadarius Chrome on 22/12/2010 07:12:37 Andrev's being a meanie and making us bump this thread with suggestions before he gives us our promo fix.
So here goes. Blink improvements and suggestions.
1) Remove the GIGANTIC 170kb bonk image. (I'm told this is already planned. :p) 2) Make promos expandable to see who's in (and what the ticket price was) after you've blindly and madly clicked a randon number to make sure you get in. 3) New achievement: "Hold a grudge". Win a Retribution, Vengeance and Vindicator. 
k I'm spent, someone else do the other two. |

kenna,
Every now and again, someone sees someone else win a string and this type of post pops up. I'm always happy to address it, though :)
Sometimes, a person (or group of people) wins several in a row because they buy a larger number of tickets to a specific blink. "Buying better odds" essentially.
Sometimes, a person wins several in a row just due to sheer blind luck.
But with over 110,405 prizes given away (not counting the 756 free promo giveaways), we'd need a LOOOOTTT of alts to perpetuate a scam on the scale you're suggesting :p
And, as many others have pointed out over the months, every legitimately closed blink nets us a bit of profit. We'd be terminally stupid to rig the system in any way, as it would be the one sure-fire way to kill our business forever.
If you'd like, you're free to review the code we use to pick winners, though :)

sorry mate but each individual person im reffering to was only buying 1 ticket in each blink. they also were not blinking on ones that each other had hit blink on. way to any different variables for it to be a coincidence.
also dude dont care how many "prizes" your thing says. they can easily be all given to you and your alts. not gonna waste the isk. death, destruction, decimation... do these words sound familiar shrike? well if not your about to whitness them firsthand |

More suggestions for the Somer Lady: 1:) need a achivement for sucking at blink 2.) blinks for blink credit (cheap blinks) odds would say blink would still win but still fun nonetheless 3.) more games to choose from like blink bingo 4.) special blinks for the high rollers with side bets on the victor ( I would bet on smoulders lamour can't win every time) 5.) achivement for wining all ships 6.) achivemnt for wining multiple blinks in a row 7.) out of game sister site that supports flash 8.) a special blink for all the folks that won silly worthless crap in blinks infancy (sucks to waste your promo luck on dolls or tourists) 9.)blinks on stupid amounts of ISK with high purchase amounts 1bil prize at 250mil a ticket (I wouldnt play but I bet the richer\braver blinkers would. 10.) blinks on toons winner pays transfer fees.

I's an in game "game", like any other lottery and take a look at my char in blik page you'll see i'm far from being someone who wins a lot, very far even.
I don't even think i've already won what i've puted in, but it's a game, it's a matter of chance, sometimes you win sometimes you loose.
Stop playing it or stop crying but for sake, don't waste your time writing **** and paranoia posts.
Take a look at most of big winers, they spent more than they've won. Do they cry about it? no!

Blink is a well designed web application in which users deposit isk into a general account, which is then converted to blink credit. The blink credit can then be used to purchase tickets to prizes ranging from implants a skillbooks, to pirate ships and even capital ships. The prizes are either selected by you, or another blinker and when you win, (ive personally won 15 myself), you have several options, you can have your prized dropped delivered to a market hub for you to retrieve, or you can claim it as one of two types of currency, you can receive the value for the ship in isk, within 24 hours, or you can have it re-deposited back into your blink account with a 5% bonus to the buyout value.
Blink is favourable to conventional lotteries and raffles, in that generally they last a matter of minutes, meaning you dont have to wait for any contract to finish or to constantly moniter to make sure you havent been outbid, another incentive and one of my personal favorite features, is promo.blink, during which they put up a prize, ranging from pirate frigates to capital ships, and each player can buy a single ticket out of a much larger than average number for a single isk, the only requirement is that you have purchased a ticket to a non promo blink recently beforehand.
So the next time your wallet starts to feel a little heavy, toss some isk into blink and have some good natured fun.

Somer and company, Merry Christmas (or other holiday which you choose to celebrate), Thanks for hosting this grand service for those of us in EVE who enjoy having something on which to spend our (occasionally ill-gotten) isk other than the usual grind.
I've had my share of luck and failure so far in the Blinks, and made some extra game time out of my efforts so far. For the most part, it gives folks like me who have not much time to play a fair way to make (or lose) isk. Overall, blinking has proved to be a lot of fun and I've made a fair few isk through my "investments"--and lost a lot, as well, but that's the name of the game when it comes to gambling.
I've found that the game tends to be quite fair, even if I don't win all the time, and that after several hundred blinks, the game is statistically sound in terms of win:loss ratio, so I can't complain. If you do a lot of standard blinks, you will actually win 1/8 of the time, and everyone hits their win streak eventually; just don't expect it to happen as soon as you start playing. The achievements system also gives players the ability to keep going with gobs of bonus iskies as they play, and can stimulate the blink for a much-prolonged period if you slam into a lucky streak as you go.
Overall, I give it a very high rating in terms of lotteries: it's fast, effective, statistically sound, and Somer's boys and girls deliver promptly and on time when you're finally ready to get your goodies. If you want to win more often, be ready to dump more into a given blink; you WILL win at a rate roughly equivalent to your statistical investment (1/8 tickets = 1/8 win rate, 2/8 tickets = 1/4 win rate, etc). Don't be afraid to invest in things you want, but remember that you are still competing for goods!
Good luck to my fellow players, and keep up the good work, folks, Junkiloton

Blink is by far the best way to blink in disbelief at the best prizes you've ever seen! For everyone on your xmas shopping list including yourself, give blink a whirl.
Join the chat channel and have some fun with the cheerful crowd of elfs loping around in there too!
If you haven't yet tried blink, you dunno what you're missing!

Blink is awesome. I've been playing it for quite a few months now, started a week or two after it opened for business. I've won so much stuff I can't even remember all of it. The biggest thing I've won is a Fenrir, I've also won stealth bombers, transport ships, command ships, etc all of which I cashed out and "took home". I'm up about 200m on blink, I've been closing that gap. While it's true you can't maintain a positive ISK ratio indefinately it's worth it. The fast pace makes it a lot funner than normal lotteries and the high you get from winning is invaluable.

Somer, I'm not sure if others have expressed any concerns over this issue or not, as I have not read every reply on your thread. Some friends and corpmates were chatting earlier tonight and brought up a very good point, so I figured I would bring it to your attention. On several occasions there are those who play blink that will severely tip the odds of a given blink in their favor by buying up a large percentage of the tickets. While this type of gambling is permitted on the site, there are some that feel it diminishes the spirit of the game itself. Although I will probably get flamed up one side and down the other for using this as an example, it is the easiest way to make my point. I'll use the same example that was given to me. Earlier tonight a Mackinaw blink was running where a single person bought 6 of the 8 tickets. At a ticket cost of 13.5 million, purchasing 6 equals a cost of 81 million and the isk payout value of the ship is only 85 million. While I cannot argue with the concept that it is up to the individual to decide how to spend their own money. It hardly seems fair (in the interest of preserving a level playing field) to the others playing when their chances are so greatly reduced. During the conversation one of the suggestions seemed somewhat viable so I agreed to pass it along, but refused to name the individual or mention some of the more colorful metaphors that were used. Since promo blinks are limited to insure fairness, why not implement a limitation on normal ones too (ie: each player is limited to purchasing no more than 25% of the total number of tickets (normal 8 ticket blink would have a 2 ticket limit, whereas a MegaBlink 16 ticket would have a 4 ticket limit per player.)) I myself would be very interested in seeing how the majority of the blink players felt about this and if it was an issue worth addressing. God knows I'd hate to sound like the sole voice of opposition. Many thanks to you Somer for hosting such a wonderful site and giving away so much to the Eve community. Sincerely, Nervalla Cythrill - Blinking since 10/2010

What you just said here makes no logical sense. The chances of winning with each ticket is the same for every ticket, period. This is the absolute definition of fair and level playing field. You could make an argument that the player buying up most of the tickets initially is preventing others from taking on a greater gamble, but this is not the same as reducing their chances or the fairness of the game. To reduce another player's chance or the fairness of the game, the player buying the bulk of the tickets must receive some sort of absolute advantage from the game such as a greater chance of winning per ticket.
However, you do have a point in that this may ruin some of the fun in the game. Everybody knows (or at least should know) that playing blink in the long-term is a guaranteed isk-losing proposition (just think casinos) by virtue of the fact that the total ticket price exceeds the item value significantly. So the reason people play is because of the excitement that comes from winning. If someone always buys up the bulk of the tickets initially and thus wins very frequently, I could see players beginning to feel that this isn't fun since they begin to truly feel the odds that are against them (if you have a lot of different players, this type of feeling isn't as prominent since you see a new player winning each time and you think: it could be me next). It's all psychological.

Oh, man, I should totally not share this, but this link actually explains how to improve your chances at winning blinks (well...lotteries in general).
Now part of the article is not applicable, because in blinks, you never end up sharing a prize (2 people can't buy the same number in a single blink)...so you don't have to worry about avoiding commonly picked numbers...
But the FIRST part, dead on.
How to win the lottery (seriously)

Ugh...reading back a bit it would seem that my above post may have been inappropriate, as there are people who don't understand probability. As mentioned in a response to the post concerning fairness, each ticket in an 8 ticket blink has exactly 12.5% chance of being the winning ticket.
If you buy 1 ticket, I buy 1 ticket, and 6 other people each buy 1 ticket, you and I both have 12.5% chance that we will be the winner and 87.5% chance that we will NOT be the winner.
If you buy 1 ticket, and I buy 7 tickets, you STILL have a 12.5% chance that you will be the winner, and 87.5% chance that you will NOT be. I have increased my odds of winning to 87.5%, without changing yours at all.
But, since the price of 7 tickets is more than the value of the prize, it would be silly for me to do such a thing.
As for seeing the same people win over and over...the only...*sigh* - here's another link to the same site - another short, easy to read article - Law of large numbers
"An understanding of the law of the large numbers leads to a realisation that what appear to be fantastic improbabilities are not remarkable at all but, merely to be expected."

Heyo!
Unfortunately, when ISK is sent before an account is created, the system doesn't know what to do with it. We can fix it for you, though, no worries. :)
Just shoot me an evemail with the alt's name and the timestamp that you sent ISK from it, and I'll get you fixed right up :)

What I don't get is how people are content to throw away that much isk?? I see 1 guy getting 1 lot for each blink day in day out and 9/10 times he loses. So he's throwing away hundreds upon hundreds of isk...for what?? Even if he wins something then his losses are still 5 times his winnings. Looks like a nice way for Somer to get rich indeed :)

Does that include the trivia they do? And the promo blinks they do, some which are quite fantastic? Does it include the achievement blink credits they give out? And those long events they do sometimes too? I don't disagree they make quite a bit of money, but I think your numbers aren't very well thought out.

Some people like getting blown up in expensive ships... others get more thrill when the little blue box pops up in the corner saying "WINNER!"... vOv... hey. whatever floats your boat I guess. And some people just have way too much isk... but I'm not gonna get into all that about how

Pretty sweet as it is. Dunno if this is possible, but you could award people tickets that have a higher than average chance of sucess like once a month or something, so they could be used on something you really want. They could be cumulative so you could save for six months ans use all your "boosters" on that rorqual you really want but cant afford :)

Ah, found the problem :) You deposited ISK with the corp Somer's Omnibus Exploration and Reclamation. For Blink, deposits need to be sent to the corp "Somer Blink"
We've refunded the ISK sent to the wrong corp, feel free to deposit it with Blink if you like. :) The deposit will show within 10 minutes of sending.

Nicely executed gambling site.
Sure would have helped to get me hooked to at least win once, I spent 300 mil on 15 blinks and picked the same number on 13 of them. Lost all of them, thats just unfortunate :(
The guy who won a thanatos played 8 tickets and won 3...

Heyo Chro :) Sorry to hear you had such an unlucky streak :/
As to how winners are chosen, the random number chooser is actually generated from random.org. If you like, there's quite a bit of information evaluating their real-time randomization here and several peer reviewed papers evaluating it overall here. Our code to get the random number from them is here. Hope that helps :)

Hey,
thanks for the fast reply. Actually while I was asking for your random generator I was googling myself on this topic and landed on random.org as well. Good to see you don't use php rand() function ;)
I will just try again and blame my luck. If I waste another 300 mil I'll beg you to block my char so I dont go bankrupt :)

Value of Blinks Won is broken...somehow it sees that taranis and wolf have a value of 48m...maybe its a prophecy, but anyway I believe that exact value of winnings is important for gambling site.
Everything else seems fine, with 18.18% to win, I doubt to return ever again, unless there are free cookies, but effort to create something intriguing and may I say real honeytrap for gamblers should be acknowledged.

Well, I am nearly out of ISK to Blink with, but it has been a great ride. I don't seem to win as much as some others do, but that's my usual luck. Blink rules - when I make some more ISK (mission grinding, yay!) I will be sure to play some more. Thanks for the fun!

Just an idea maybe Somer...
With all the new stuff added to win...maybe use left & right side of the template to set new blinks instead of under current running ones (so you get em all on screen all the time). Takes more & more time to find the right blink to play (and chances someone else already started one). Just an idea :)

Hey folks - apologies for the API delays. The API server has been showing a lot of lag/bad data from CCP's side of things, and unfortunately we can't do much about it. Pulls are still happening, but until the API server straightens out they are delayed a bit.

Heya Max :)
Yeah, some days are faster than others - it partially depends on how many of our claims agents are online, and partially on how many claims are being submitted at a given time. We prefer the <10 minute claims turnaround times too :) Sometimes, though, it does take a coupla hours. We'll always get it out ASAP, though. :)

I know I sound like a broken record, but this site really is awesome. It is really well thought out, intuitive, extremely fun, and works great.
The staff are all super friendly, and respond to concerns very quickly and take suggestions from players seriously. Deposits are automatic - any time of day - within 10 min (unless API is lagging, which I've heard about, but never experienced), and prizes are paid out very quickly - whichever method of delivery you choose.
You can play for as little as 1.5M for a 1 in 8 chance to win a Raptor, or 115.5M for a 1 in 16 chance to win a Rorqual (based on current prices). Also, if there's not something you want to play for up there, you can pick a different prize. AND, they do promos - recently there were back-to-back Moros and Nightmare promos where tickets were 1 ISK.
These guys really put a lot of time and effort into this, and it shows.
If you have any doubts, come and hang out in the SOMER LOTTERIES channel. Talk to people. - NB |

Somer is a scammer.
Closed both my account and my brothers account saying that alts are not allowed as per the rules. They are NOT alts they are completely separate accounts. Obviously bans are based on multiple account log ins from the same IP. So anyone who shares internet at home and plays eve with their family / roommates stay away or prepare for an account banning.
What a load of crap.

I fail to see ANY scam whatsoever, I realize I'm probably feeding a troll, but you've said nothing about losses, or a scam. I personally have been paid out billions in prizes, am well ahead, enjoy prompt and free delivery. Is a great service when I'm looking to risk some isk, Perhaps if you didn't want to double your chances on the promo's you wouldn't have had this problem? uh.

This is an automatic process to protect the rest of the players FROM scammers... Somer would fix that for you no problem if you had a legitimate excuse for using the same IP to have multiple accounts...

So...do you REALLY suppose THAT would be the scam?

Sometimes if there's an unusual number of tickets I also can't see the last odd one out. EG 3 columns of 40 plus one, I can't see the one. |

im just an angry bitter player but this is probably all some elaborately designed scam that makes your win percentage ratio at a certain point w/ the amount of bets you make on different tiers of prizes, also they hook you in intially by letting you win a couple than drown your iskies away into somer's wallet, **** you coin toss luck!!!!!

Heres a suggestion to improve the site a bit - change the picture for an 'empty slot' so its no so confusing when people who haven't bothered to create their character in the new character builder are playing, as they have the exact same picture atm.

Found a small issue with promo.blink events.
After the blink has finished and results are being shown, this text is displayed:
< Prize Name > Mega Blink @ 1 ISK One Blink Per Player
The "1 ISK" I assume is now meant to read "1 Token", and supposedly "Mega Blink" should be changed to indicate that it's a promo blink?
Cheers, Krudd

Edited by: Raukk on 07/02/2011 18:43:26 Hi, I have some feedback and several suggestions.
I only saw it today but there seems to be a price discrepancy between the Archon and the Thantos/ Nidhoggur. Archon: 59.5 mill 16 slots, 813.96 mill buyout; Thantos: 67.5 mill 16 slots, 837 mill buyout; Nidhoggur: 65.5 mill 16 slots, 812.2 mill buyout. The Archon is some 128 mill cheaper to bid than the Thantos but only 25 mill less payout, and about 100 mill less then the Nidhoggur which is the same buyout price.
I also havenÆt read all 50 pages of this thread to see if these have already been suggested, if they have, then please ignore them.
Suggestion #1: have a way to refer friends to this service (a URL with your account number as reference in it) where is they create an account and deposit some money (say 25 mill or more) and you get a reward (say 5 mill). So that you can just copy and paste the URL into chat, and when they click it, it takes them to the account creation screen, and if they create an account then you get the credit for them joining. Obviously, you would need to watch for alts and temporary accounts, etc.
Suggestion #2: I donÆt know how much people have ships delivered to locations, but you could make it an additional fee to have it delivered, and then give out free delivery tokens as rewards. I suggest this so that you could reduce the markup on the ships even more.
This last suggestion will probably get me flamed off the forums, but IÆll say it any way. Final suggestion: Have you considered having non-invasive ads on the site, to help pay for hosting (which can be expensive)? Where any profit over the hosting cost would be given out as promos or reductions in markup of items.

Thanks for the feedback!
I am checking the buyout discrepancy on the carriers now.
Promo codes are available on a limited basis. Talk to Alexandre Nox (Andrev Nox).
I reaaaally am afraid to put ads on Blink. Obviously it would be helpful in paying for the server (over 3 million hits in January \o/) but I really like keeping Blink slick and fast. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Now that we have promo tokens, how about being able to bid more than once on promos (maybe limit to 5 or 10)? I've already got enough promo tokens to last me a lifetime at the rate I see promos.

So...time to show love.
Blink was awesome when I started playing, and has actually gotten more awesome through constant improvement. The staff are great, and really listen to suggestions. Prizes have always been paid out amazingly fast.

It's been 20 tril already? Man that went by in the blink of an eye! Hehe.
Anyway, if you haven't given this a try, I swear you've been living under a rock.
So crawl out, depo 10m, and promise sexual favors to lady luck and be on your way to an addiction that never stops giving!

Agreed with the above, all promos I've seen fall very late night and very early morning EVE time.
Minor bug - the descriptions seem designed to scroll with mousewheel when your mouse is over them. This only works when your mouse is over a character within the description's window, if you are over blank space in the description text it instead scrolls the page. (To test: Put your mouse over a blink's picture, wait for text to show, place cursor over a character, scrollwheel down. Then place cursor over a space in between paragraphs, scrollwheel down) << IE8

Heyo Yakti :)
We do try our absolute best to show all timezones equal love. With events like hitting 20T, however, we really just have to throw the party when the event happens - which means the first round of promo spam was in the EU late-late night this go around.
The good news, though- the coming Big Event (which is so awesome it will make you kick a baby in the face), will be available for all timezones to get in on, guaranteed :)

Me too, and I kinda regret buying that to be honest after seeing how many tickets have been sold.
1,125,000 promo tokens burned on one minibonk. Promo tokens that would have required over 1 trillion worth of deposits.  |

At the moment we roll over a given event (20T in this case) we heavily spam a celebration link to the channel. Everyone who clicks it is given the event achievement.
Originally by: Nadarius Chrome Me too, and I kinda regret buying that to be honest after seeing how many tickets have been sold.
This mini-bonk is the first of it's type, and we did expect usage to be high on it. There are still more coming (One very soon now), so those that played conservatively may find themselves in a good position to dominate later ones.

Less than 24 hours to the Big Event, and now the hints start flying.
Hints previously given in channel: It is far more valuable than an AT ship, it has never been seen on Blink before, and it is so awesome it will make you slap a baby in the face for a chance to win.
Hint one: Ticket cost will be 500k isk.

Okay, foreplay is over:
Ladies and Gents, to celebrate having given away over 20 TRILLION isk in prizes, SOMER Blink is proud to bring you the chance to win an Avatar class Titan for only 500k ISK!
The Bonk for the Avatar will run for 3 full days. At the end of that time, the Bonk will be closed and ticket list posted. A winner will be drawn from Chribba's dice tool, as per our previous Bonks.
The winner will be given the choice of accepting the item directly, an immediate 60B isk buyout from Blink, or Blink will firesale the item on the forums for you, transferring the ISK from that sale to you.
While the Big Event bonk is live, there will continue to be Mini-Bonks based on promo tokens as well - so depositing to win a Titan will still grant you tokens to win other rocking prizes as well!

Feir - the core site is back alive now, normal blinking can resume :)
We're still working on the Bonk portion, and will get a time estimate ASAP. But we'll extend the time on the Bonk to make up for any time lost due to server fire, so everyone will still absolutely have time to get in on it if they like :)

We're baby-stepping the server back to life, slowly letting the load increase. Promo spam would be the opposite of that :p But don't fear, there will still be promos, mini-bonk, titan-bonk, et cetera all as planned, we're just having to delay a little bit while we get this all sorted.

If you already had odd amounts they should still be there. But if you deposit enough to round it up you should be okay. I'm keeping my random amount so I don't get by going to 0 completely. ----------------------------------------------

We definitely hated having to postpone the Titan bonk and the mini-bonk, but the load turned out far more massive than we (or our host) expected, and we literally shut down the entire NOC. We had to delay launching both until today, when we were able to migrate to a much more robust server. The time extensions were to ensure we kept our promises - Titan bonk for at least 72 hours, mini-bonk for 24 hours each. We haven't eliminated any of the planned minibonks, though - all will run as promised :)
On a happier note:
We're up and running hard with the mini-bonks (Today is 12x PLEX), the Titan Bonk, and promo-paloosa!
Big thanks to everyone for being patient while we migrated to the new hardware, let the celebrations continue! |

Over 50k bonks on the Titan and still well over 2.5 days remaining... Better go ahead and line up more prizes to go out. Looks like it should easily go over the 120k tickets sold.

The API has been more unreliable the past couple days, though it seems pretty good at the moment. If you ever have a transaction that isn't showing up after a couple hours, I am always more than happy to take a look to make sure it's still processing-- just mail me with the date / time / amount. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new!

On Bonk news:
We've just hit our "break-even" point for the Avatar giveaway Bonk, so in the spirit of celebration we've added a second prize! :)
When the Bonk closes, two winners will now be chosen. First place, of course, will be the Avatar.
Second place will now be...
A Mimir! :)
Should we hit the break-even point on the Mimir (170k total Bonks) we will add a third prize as well. :)

While the ticket list was being generated, I had the awesome experience of joining voice chat with some of the Blinkers in the Somer Lotteries channel. We had a chat about the inner workings of Blink, and I was able to share some insight from the perspective of a Blink employee. I was even able to hint on possible future endeavors, and explain the claims system.
I was having so much fun, I stayed on voice for far longer than I should have. Thanks to all the people who joined me, and thank you for all of your awesome suggestions. It feels great to hear the positive (and negative!) feedback that we get from our fellow gamers. I really hope I get the chance to do this during our next milestone celebration.
Until then, see you in the Somer Lotteries channel.

Would it be possible for you to put the blinks where the ticket price is <10mil in its own tab? You blink quite quickly on the smaller ones and when the site updates you can sometimes missclick and bet alot more than you meant to.
I know it's a playerside issue, but it would be nice to have the megasmall blinks in their own area. Something tells me you'd get everything to move alot along faster than now aswell if you did.

Petitions are all filed and a GM will investigate. However, I will note that Icarantus actually is not the biggest depositor into Blink. He rolls his winnings back into credit more aggressively than many people, leading to more prizes won per ISK deposited.
Again, we definitely do not condone any RMT activities and have worked with GMs a couple times in the past when RMT was involved to ensure that players who were caught depositing dirty ISK into Blink did not benefit from their actions. That said, we are only able to respond in cases where we receive notification, since Blink receives no special insight into the source of ISK.
I will post updates on the status of my petition. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Icarantus bought over Ç6600 on iskbank *Ilegal isk*
Congrats again to SOMER.blink. Thanks for developing Website where peeps can covert ilegal isk to legal isk and steal 5-10% from those micro-lotteries.
For all your dumb people that play game... If u do for example 1000 games and buy half seats, changes u win its 50%. That means after 1000 games, u will win near 500 games. Margin of error its around -15% +5% since blink takes +/-10%.
But yeah, big portion players already realized and 95% players are RMT's that want covert their ilegal isk to plexes.... yeah there's reason why plex is item most won by top blink players.

Edited by: Andrev Nox on 13/03/2011 04:23:31 You asked for it, so we listened :)
We've expanded the "active blink" limitations.
Now, at any time, up to 6 "normal" blinks can be active, 3 "big" blinks, and 2 "mega blinks" - for a total max simultaneous blinks of 11.
Enjoy! :)
Edit to add:
Also - just up in the site MOTD - On Monday to celebrate Blink's 6 month anniversary, we're running another no-isk Token bonk for some awesome prizes. It's a bonk celebrating 6 months, with 6 prize packages, each consisting of 6 items.
Somer is calling it the "Six-Month Six-Pack" - but I prefer "Bonk of the Beast" myself.

Edited by: Amoozed on 15/03/2011 21:10:27 Hello there, just wanted to make a suggestion, but before I start Iwould like to say that this is an awesome service you're running. I've been absent from blinking and eve in general but upon my return I was met with promo tokens (which accounted for all my past deposits, thanks!) But I think they can be improved. You say they are "free" as a way of showing thanks, but they really do cost 1mil apiece! This move was done to stop the freeloaders and reward the regulars, but all it does is favor the high rollers and RMTs.
Here's what i suggest: incentivize actually *playing* bnulllinks. Let's say 1 token per normal blink ticket, 2 for big blink etc. Then another bonus for winning a blink, appropriately tiered for prize value (something like 1 token per mil of the prize value)
Just something to think about perhaps? I greatly appreciate your time and keep up the good work!
Edit: typos *sigh*

Originally by: Amoozed Edited by: Amoozed on 15/03/2011 21:10:27 Hello there, just wanted to make a suggestion,
Heya Amoozed,
Thanks for the feedback! I actually initially wrote the promoken feature in almost exactly the way you've suggested. People earned tokens for playing blinks, not depositing ISK. But then we realized that if you just shift the time of awarding, you're really not changing anything. The people who deposit a lot do so because they play a large amount of blinks.
If you do something like 1 token per Blink, 2 for big, etc., you're actually disproportionately rewarding people who play Raptors and Enyos, which is also not equitable-- just in a different direction.
In the end, Blink is a lottery, and people who deposit more will have an advantage. That said, one of our last minibonk winners bought just 3 tickets, so there's definitely a chance for everyone! Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Greetings Somer & Co.!
Love the idea and been playing a bit but have noticed that your promo blinks could use some more spacing to include us poor european players.  In few weeks that I have been logging in and out every once and a while I have seen only one promo blink during 0800 - 14.00 GMT. Is that the case or have I just been missing them all?
Cheers and keep up the good work!

Can't say how the EU morning is, but I have seen several promos run in the EU evening (18:00 - 24:00 GMT). You could try that?
@Somer staff:
I find the user statistics a little bit unfortunately constructed.
- First you have "Blinks played", which includes regular and megablinks, but not promos (which have their own statistic).
- Then you have "Blinks won", which includes regular and promo blinks, but not megablinks (which have their own statistic).
- Finally, you have "Win ratio", which includes all three types of blinks, but is only contrasted with the "Blinks played" count. The "Promo Blinks played" count is not factored in, and therefore, you could potentially achieve a win ratio of greater than 100% by winning lots of promos.
This setup makes for a very confusing statistic in which every line of the table needs to be read in a different context. I would suggest that you either keep the three blink types strictly apart (my preference), or combine them (less work).
Not to mention the "Value of Blinks won" statistic, which as I was told is still displaying wrong numbers

Hey guys just wanted to say its an awesome service that you have. Its been flawless for me and quite profitable too. Just wondering if someone could fulfil the two prizes I'm waiting on. First time I've had to wait almost a day for ISK prizes to be delivered so just want to make sure everything is OK.
Also a suggestion for the future of Blink, with the promo blinks they are made right now by a online director. You should automate this process either so that it automatically puts up promoblinks on either a planned schedule or when blink goes quiet. Promos are a great way to drag people back to their account and play a few more blinks.  Signature not EVE related - Adida |

Hey thanks for the reply. Just replying to confirm that those transactions were fine and the queue must have just been exceptionally long. Another lucky day for me with a Rorqual win and a couple of ideas for the guys at blink HQ:
1 - Make the number of possible blinks dependent upon the average completion time not the some man made setting. In the evening they seem to fly by but during slow times with 11 blinks open they seen to take forever the older settings worked much better for Auzzie tz for example.
2 - Under the achievements add more for playing megablinks, this should hopefully see them become more popular with shorter blink completion time and more ISK so that we can get to the next give away ;). Signature not EVE related - Adida |

This was a small bug that I've fixed. I've sent you a Raptor contract as well as leaving your ISK claim for the ship, so you'll get both ISK and ship.

Just a quick bug hunt effort:
Value of Blinks Won 9,984,000,000 ISK Winnings Transformed to Blink Credit 1,243,683,000 ISK Winnings Transformed to ISK 6,942,260,000 ISK
Now I have never claimed any of my prizes as ships so Value of blinks won should equal the sum of transformed to credit and transformed to ISK which it does not. There is about a 1.8bil difference whats going on here?

Hi all
Just a quick question regarding Promo's
I though that while at work I will have the site set up so I can take 30 seconds every half hour to check for promos.
Now one came up and I clicked to blink and I got an Error stating the "Blink restricted, you need to do a normal blink before you can promo blink." I checked and I was logged in (even signed out and relogged)
So I was wondering if this was due to either 1) You can only do a promo blink if you have already done a normal blink that day? 2) If it was because I was using a different Pc (and therefore IP address) than I had perviously used to blink on? 3) It was a bug?
Thanks for your help Dafydd

I really enjoyed the Somer "pink" shenanigans. I don't think I've had such a good laugh from the Somer Lotteries in-game channel ever... The morality of blinkers is surprisingly high, considering they're capsuleers 
Also, I'm here to confirm that the "super" Velator is, indeed, super! Mine had an officer Heavy Cap Booster, Imp. Navy Neut and some other awesome stuff.
Thanks for running the site, thanks for providing the awesome channel for casual chit-chat and please explain why I can spend 3 hours logged into eve without actually doing anything except refreshing the Blink site, long after I should have gone to bed 
In short; you're running an awesome site / service. Helps keep those not-so-exciting moments in eve exciting !

First off, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not affiliated with Somer Blink in any way (apart from spending an unhealthy amount of time on the site, that is).
However... I think I can provide a possible explanation as to why your credits have not appeared on the site.
Short version; Patch day. The problem is not on Blinks side.
Long version; Today was the scheduled deployment for Incustion 1.4 (which has been delayed until tomorrow) and the API servers seem to be going through somewhat of a 'rough time' the last few days. This is not new, it tends to happen during patch deployment in my experience. At least it's not the first time I've noticed it.
I would advise you to pop into the ingame chat channel and ask for a manual update from one of the employees, who usually hang around in there.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Somer I have a proposal for improvement (I apologise if this has been proposed before, I don't feel like reading 50+ pages of the thread): it should be easily visible whether one can play a promo or not. To this end I suggest two changes: 1) somewhere in the upper right corner, near the balance of Promo tickets, there should be a clear indication of status. It could be an icon with explanatory mouse-over text, possibly also indicating time when the promo time ends. 2) if one is not elligible to participate, the running promo should not display all the buttons and tickets. Instead it could be shown with the same box one sees after purchasing promo ticket - just a summary that there is a promo going on and how many tickets are still available. This would also free up some hamsters in your web and database server.
I believe this change would cause most people to play more frequently, ensuring increased revenue for Blink

Make it even more simple - don't display promos if you haven't played a regular blink in the last 48h. That would make people blink more often 
Would it be possible to get more info about the upcoming "Blink Challenges"?? Sounds like fun...

I was just wondering if you had considered giving us promo tokens when we take the blink credit option as it would save us taking the isk buy out and redepositing. Even if you gave say 9 tokens for every 10 mil converted to blink credit. It might also cut down on the amount of preauth requests.

Edited by: The Newface on 07/04/2011 14:54:42 I have a question about the tokens you get. It seems to me that the amounts of tokens you get are kind of pointless, is it even possible to use all your tokens if you blink all day? I currently have 700! Tokens, granted I donÆt play blink all days but still..
Blink itself is a nice idea and nicely executed though, thumbs up

At least once monthly, we actually hold a special event that allows you to spend as many tokens as you want to win some really great kit. So hang on to 'em, they'll serve you well in the near future :)

Edited by: Ishina Fel on 14/04/2011 09:37:47 Just a minor suggestion regarding butan trivias...
I have noticed that the payout for a correct answer is at least 2 million and at most 50 million per person. Now, the last five trivias posted had the following payout values:
2.00 million 4.57 million 2.22 million 2.79 million 2.00 million
This seems an awful lot like it's constantly hugging the lower edge, no? Twice defaulted to minimum, another two times barely inches away from defaulting again, and even the highest payout is less than 10% of the theoretical maximum. Considering you give away multiple billion ISK in promos every day, it seems a bit disproportionate that the roughly once-a-week butan trivia (which is arguably harder than just buying into a promo) would be paying out such a novelty prize.
I think it is partly due to the fact that nowadays, a lot more people play blink than when the trivia was instated, and therefore, a lot more people get the answer right and need a share of the pot.
Suggestions: - You could run one or two promos less per week (nobody will even notice), and post the butan trivia with a much higher starting pot instead of the current 400-some million. Or whatever other figure makes sense in your internal balance. - Also (or alternatively), you could significantly up the bonus per blink completed during the butan uptime. That way the prize pot is augmented more steeply, somewhat counterbalancing the increasing number of correct answers over time.
Benefits for the player: - Makes the butan trivia more exciting! - More free credit to blink with!
Benefits for Somer.blink: - A promo won is paid out physically. The prize and its value is gone from your system. However, the butan trivia payout is in blink credit, therefore the entire pot stays in the system, and people will use it to play more blinks!
- Signature? What signature? |

Ishina - That's a fair point. We'll talk it over and see if we need to reevaluate the butan value. It's a careful balance, as anyone can participate in Butan, but only actual customers can participate in promo Blinks. Still well worth looking into tuning though, I agree.
Originally by: Lucious Shakiel I don't know if this has been answered but if won a cap ship like a carrier or dread, where would it be delivered too?
We receive capships from several different suppliers, all of which sadly deliver to different systems. The ship would be delivered from whichever of those systems it's available at at the time. They're almost always within 1-2 jumps of highsec, though. :)

Hi there
I am not sure if there is a reason for this being the way it is, but could I make a suggestion that if you trade a win for blink credit, you also get the associated promo credits
I recently won a Enyo, and traded it in for credit, but I think it may have been better to get the extra 12 promo credits than the 600K credit
It seems a little silly to request isk and then deposit it back immediently.
Just a suggestion Dafydd

I wanted to give this a week run before commenting and having done so;
Design and layout is simple, easy, keep it that way. Its always updating and quite fast in giving out winnings considering the amount of people winning all the time and its really good fun, even more so when you have a war between corpies or just seeing them bid on random stuff too.
Only thing that is a bit weird is the promo tokens, i have enough to last me a lifetime with the current promos that are coming out (don't get me wrong, there is loads considering its technically free bidding!) Im hoping to see some more use out of the tokens once the 30 trill mark has been reached.
Overall 10/10 for this. - Give it a try! But only spend what you can afford to lose, its very easy to get, *ahem* carried away :p --------------------------------------------

The squeals are the loving part, and a spit shine counts as polishing, by god.

Not sure I understand what you mean. Blinks are chosen by the blinkers, so it'd be hard to predict what people are going to be picking :p
Also - Hint #2!
The Big Prize has never been seen on Blink before.

At first I thought the whole blink thing was dumb and refused to do it...but I've won quite a share of goodies (even being a conservative gambler, have yet to do a mega blink).
Basically blink has given me a big chunk of ships to go blow up and I couldn't be happier. This SuperMegaUltraMassiveKillerAwesomeBlink promo spam almost killed the internet tonight haha.

Suggestion: When promo blinks finish, make them appear like regular 8-slot blink finishes, and just show the name of the person who won and the winning ticket rather than showing all the tickets.

This is a fun and addictive service and they do pay up very promptly. But like the rule in Eve which says don't fly a ship you can't afford to lose, don't gamble with ISK you can't afford to lose. Its very easy to get carried away and lose a lot quickly.
Although I'm generally unlucky, I have put in roughly 550 million and got back roughly 1.3 billion to include an Orca and a Caldari Navy Raven that was won in a promo blink.
The stats are a little deceiving too in that someone who appears to be a big winner might be buying 10 of 16 tickets for a single blink making the actual net gain very small. I never knew there were so many billionaires in EVE with that much ISK to burn. I've seen over a billion spent on a single blink.
For the megablinks, I would like to see a limit of one ticket per character so that everybody has a chance rather than some clown buying up more than half the tickets, but thats just me.
I have dealt with their customer service once due to a mistake made by me and they resolved it pleasantly and promptly. If you have disposable ISK to burn, BLINK may be for you.

where be all the promo blinks??? So far today I've only seen the bonks (which isn't intuitive either btw, prob should make it a bit easier for viewers to see what they should be doing/clicking for the bonks).
Bonks are ok, but I was hoping for a day of gambling and promo blink trains =/

Agree completely. I saved my tokens so I would have them for all the PROMOS, I THOUGHT were coming. Promos provide excitement, instant gratification, and MORE chances for us non billionaires to win smaller but nice prizes. Instead we have this BONK BS which is slow, boring, and provides few really nice prizes to the gazillionaires like PHLANDER(15000 tickets & climbing) and others who have spent BILLIONS on *bonks* to stack the odds in their favor. Not much appeal for the masses at this point, but maybe thats just the peasant point of view.

Most underwhelming climax to one of the most anticipated events in Eve. This bonk stuff is ok, but where are the blink pulses or trains or whatever? I've been refreshing the page since the event started and I'm bored and disappointed. I too expected a lot more from SomerBlink than this.
Yeah, boo hoo and such, but c'mon. Pretty sure more than just a few of us were expecting something a heck of a lot more exciting and fantastic than this.

Hey folks!
To answer some of the questions:
The OMG SUPER DAY OF PROMOS always occurs when we -hit- the celebration event, not 5 days later :p We promoed away over 90b worth of ships and items already for the 30T celebration. Plus, as those that have been here for the last two may remember - these bonk events tend to MELT servers, so we're watching load carefully and sliding promos in when we can. :)
In reguards to the bonks, the Main Event bonk (A Guardian Vexor and Utu unveiled so far) is reached here. The minibonks, for 0 isk, tokens only, will change each day the main bonk is runing and can be found here. :)

Really great, very addictive. Brilliant idea guys, well played.
Put 1/3 of the money I made whilst running a site escalation on, and first ever blink won a basilisk. Course the next few.... weren't quite so lucky, but thats the point of gambling I guess.
Anyhow, just thought I'd voice my appreciation for your business, very good indeed.

Put in 300mil for the celebration a few days ago, convinced a few guys to do the same. Nothing like a little meta-gambling, so we had a 50mil bet going to see who could win the most on their 300mil.
I won that with a daredevil, vigilant, and crusader. I was beaten to the winning ticket twice by the same person - as I clicked the button it filled with his name. Once for another vigilant, once for an obelisk.
The day was not over, for one of the other guys won a promo CNR in the massive promo train, and the other won a CN invuln. Not a bad day at all for us.
Today I threw in 100m to get a few tickets for the guardian vexor and decided to win a cynabal while I was waiting.
Now if I can catch the elusive promo win I will be complete.

How about you change the layout of the Prize Progression a bit so it is a bit more intuitive
Current:
Quote: Prize Progression
Guardian-Vexor First Prize Utu Second Prize Utu Running Next Prize 150,000 tickets
Suggesting:
Quote: Prize Progression
First Prize Guardian-Vexor
Second Prize Utu
Tertiary Prize Utu
Next Prize Running (150,000 tickets)

Edited by: Ishina Fel on 12/05/2011 11:51:45 Bug Report:
When promos are posted in a queue, the time each promo takes to complete is displayed wrong on the "view past promo.blinks" page. Instead of showing how long a promo lasted, it will show how long the queue lasted up to that point.
Example: today around noon local time, a queue of one of each strategic cruiser was posted. Due to being well away from primetime (and in fact, around downtime), these each lasted a good long time... maybe an hour each.
However, the "view past promo.blinks" page displays the following: Legion --> 03:52:42 Proteus --> 03:09:19 Loki --> 02:22:26 Tengu --> 01:01:10
...This would total around 10.5 hours for four promos? Hardly! The queue itself lasted the 3 hours 52 minutes; each item merely shows the (at the time of its completion) current lifetime of the total queue.
Hope this helps!

Would be grand if some of the promos were different timezones . As it is I get in on 2-3 promos over about 12+ hours before I go to bed at DT. Then wake up in the morning to see a page of missed promos.

While I have used this site my question is what sort of security precautions are in place to prevent someone from within somer from using an alt and "winning" the majority of the blinks?
I've been on and seen a couple of different players on different occasions buying 2 slots on each blink and winning 90% of the blinks. and I've seen it more than once or twice. to me it looks suspicious. So maybe you should explain to the community what safety features you have in place to prevent someone from manipulating the games....
otherwise to me this is just one of the largest scams running in EVE

Heyo Kirell :)
Every now and again, someone sees someone else win a string and this type of post pops up. I'm always happy to address it, though :)
Sometimes, a person (or group of people) wins several in a row because they buy a larger number of tickets to a specific blink. "Buying better odds" essentially.
Sometimes, a person wins several in a row just due to sheer blind luck.
But with over 358,089 prizes given away (not counting the 3,279 free promo giveaways), we'd need a LOOOOTTT of alts to perpetuate a scam on the scale you're suggesting :p
And, as many others have pointed out over the months, every legitimately closed blink nets us a bit of profit. We'd be terminally stupid to rig the system in any way, as it would be the one sure-fire way to kill our business forever.
If you like, you're free to evaluate our method for choosing winners. As Somer linked, the code we use to get the number is here. As you can see, we draw it from random.org. You can find their real-time statistics here and several peer-reviewed papers on the quality of their random-generator here.
Hope that helps :)

For awhile there I had a good run on Somer.Blink, but then something changed.
It seems like a lot of the people who would bid on 50% of the tickets have been losing out to people who only buy in with 1-2 ticket(s). At first I thought it was just my bad luck, but it seems to be happening to a lot of the other people I recognize who also frequently buy 50% of the tickets.
Earlier this morning, as I looked at the recent win history - I saw only two names in the recent winners list. How these people managed to win all of the lotteries with only 1 or 2 tickets is beyond me, but something seems to be broken.
Sure, there's a risk when bidding on 50% of the tickets - but I find it hard to believe that I should have lost my last 10 auctions with 50% of the tickets bought in them to a person who only buys 1 ticket. I can't speak for the other folks who have until recently been successful at throwing a lot of isk down, but something seems fishy. |

PS - Always blink on 2. We rigged 2 to win.
Personally, somedays I do 1 ticket, last couple days did 2 tickets, some nights, when the beer googles be glowin' and I see all the pretty ladies winkin', I just gotta do at least half of them. Then I'm spent and pass out and wake w/ the same words everytime, "damnit somer you put ruffies in my blink!" Then I roll over and ever so gently touch the screen, "But you were worth it baby, yes you were." Btw, I don't recall seenin' your name much if at all at blink 'I'm Primary'. Everyone has their systems and if you play enough as Andrev said, you'll hit your streak. And I'll be at my desk cheerin' you on, "GLORY BE! GLORY BE!" I'll shout and dance and the isk shall hail down from naked digital angels and all shall win the EVE.

From a mathematical standpoint, playing half the tickets on ten Blinks in a row and losing all of them would happen .098% of the time, or almost a tenth of a percent. With tens of thousands of Blinks, there unfortunately must be some who come out on the losing end. We contemplated having everyone win every Blink but it didn't work very well as a business model.
That said, we've made no changes to our winner code-- it still just asks random.org for a number and displays it. We stay in business by providing a fair, honest game.
I'm sorry to hear about your run of bad luck and hope it changes for the better in your future Blinks. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Is there any chance you could limit how many blinks someone can start? I won't point any fingers but there are people who start say 4 or 5 blinks it slows down things a bit when there's only one person who gets to choose what we blink on. I wasn't really sure where to post this so I hope I've come to the right place.

Depositing ISK is API mediated. This means that your ISK is added to your account every 30 mins when the API pulls for every account. Pre-auth staff can bypass this by updating in almost real time.
Recieving cash, i.e: claiming your winnings, is done by Blink claims fulfillment staff (like me!) who process your claims. Generally claims take a few hours to process and usually up to a maximum of 24 hours. If a Blink staff member is on real time, they are almost instantaneous depending on if they are doing them.

I'd like to inquire how the latest dev blog will affect SOMER.blink...
Since it is a third party service that requires ingame cash to be sent in order to be allowed to play, this essentially means that SOMER.blink must now puarchase a $99 per year commercial license from CCP in order to keep running.

Odds favor the house, after all.
If you buy up half of any blink you still only have a 50/50 chance of winning and the net payout never covers the net cost (over time).
Consider the Raptor: - 2m/ticket, 8m for 4 tickets (half buy) - 10m payout
This means that you will profit 2m half of the time. At a 50% win rate, you will play 10 times at the cost of 80m and make 50m. You may get lucky on those first 10, but you may be unlucky on the next 10. The more you play the more you'll see the economics solidify and your net loss stack up.
If you must play, the best advice I have is to focus on lower cost blinks (< 5m tickets) to get some benefit from the achievement rewards and keep yourself fresh for the (infrequent) promo blinks.
Playing is not a profitable business for most people - the math is against you. It's the same with real lotteries. People see a winner and think, "That could be me!" The reality is that it probably won't be you.
If you do have a big win you should take the ISK payout and reinvest only a small portion back in, if anything.
All of that said, I think it's a really smart business concept and the site is very well done. Credit to Somerset. I wish I could pay him to develop a few of the sites I'm working on!

Bleh - 68 pages and a total fail search feature.. I apologise to the devs if this has been requested before.
Feature Request:
Let me define the number of blink slots for a blink that I start.
eg. When I choose a raptor, let me choose a number of slots between 2 and 8. If it's 2, each slot costs 8M, if I choose 4, then each ticket is 4M - etc.
You can keep the slots options in multiples of 2 to keep the maths easy.
(Yes, I know that you can effectively do this by purchasing n tickets in any given blink, but I even though I *know* that I have a 50% chance of winning by buying half the the tickets, I *feel* like my chances are better if there are only 2 tickets and I've got one of them - and I'm sure I can't be the only person who would like this feature).

If you do any research on this, you'll consistantly see that a LOT of the time, one person who 'buys' half of the tickets win on major lottos. Although occasionally some people may win something here and there, it isn't hard to formulate a guess at who makes alts and 'bids' on their own lottos further reducing the chance to win by 50% or more

If you do any research on this, you'll see that even if a person buys all the tickets and therefore wins 100% of the time, they are making a loss.
The value of an item is roughly the cost of 6 tickets. If you buy 8 tickets, you are in the minus by the value of 2 tickets. That is the cut the house makes. And it is, by the way, nothing unusual - any lottery is always rigged so that the house makes a profit. Otherwise the lottery could not be maintained, and its staff could not be paid.
Large parts of the profits are poured into giveaways, promotions, bonus credit and special events. Participating in these things is what will give you your best chance to come out with a profit.

Wrong. If you buy 8 tickets and win you still make a profit. You start taking a loss in the neighborhood of 10 tickets on mega blinks and 5-6 tickets on the regular blinks.

So finally got Incarna loaded and became instantly bored. Decided to re-read mails and found a new one (which wasn't lit up as usual). It was from Daniel Phlanders. Remember, the guy everyone was giddy over for having found true love and giving away all his Eve closets? Anyway, mail is saying that his account was hacked. He understands that we had nothing to do w/ this but is asking if we'd kindly concider giving things back as he now has next to nothing.
I'm not an Eve genius like apparently the 99.9% of players (or so they talk). For all I know the toon was sold and now this is a scam or his RL neighbor has him decomposing in his locker and playing his account wearing a Phlanders skin suit. Or he had buddy load the account to take the super awesome stuff and give away the rest so Daniel can claim theft. I have no idea. I normally stear clear of the "It's so awesome I'd dip my balls in it" opportunities of Eve just for these situations.
Does anyone have any varifiable proof that a hacker did this to him or know how to get this varified? Because if his account was hacked, then I have no problem busting ass to make the isk back or replace the items sent to me plus interest. I received around 3bil worth I think. (Despite my blink stats, 3bil is not a drop in the bucket)
Side questions, since CCP brags so much about their abilities, do they ever catch the hackers or do anything to figure out if there truly was malicious harm done or even care? Or does the increase I've heard have anything to do w/ full api's or are most just drunk and done dumb stuff like give everything away or clicked a link saying "Watch CCP Fallout nude eating fried chicken and mowing in a hockey rink"? Would really like to know what ppl think before I put efforts into deciding on this.

Hmmmmm....interesting moral dilema; certainly go me thinking L'amour....
However, how certain can I be that you're REALLY L'amour and that YOUR account hasn't been hacked ?
Hmmmmm.....

Edited by: Jennimar on 24/06/2011 11:48:25 Somerset,
Can you help me please....last night I did something dumb...I sent Blink 400M isk from my corporate wallet instead of my personal one. Could you please transfer the isk over to my account. I"ve also sent you a personal email as I didn't know what you'd check first. My corporation is Raytheon Intergalactic Research and obviously I'm the idiot CEO who screwed up.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jennimar

Apologies Somer, appreciate this post isn't entirely Blink related but after watching Blink chat all day, felt it was appropriate.
I just read the article in January's PC-Gamer (The Future of EVE) in which CCP's Dr Eyjolfur was asked if EVE would ever transition to a free-to-play model supported by micropayments.
His answer was "..No. I don't think so. EVE is appealing because it is and will always be a player-driven economy."
Was just wondering what Somer's view on MT or not MT ?

While any form of microtransaction is less than wholly desirable to me in a player-created economy, I recognize that CCP needs to see returns on their World of Darkness work. Vanity items for real money don't make me upset, regardless of their pricing (though I think CCP should never have used the word "micro" to refer to them :P
What will kill Eve for me, and I suspect for many others, is if barriers to the game that we all have had to overcome-- the skill training, the standings grinds, saving up to buy a ship-- are in any way negated by the ability to pull out one's wallet and buy them away. CCP's refusal to come out and say definitively "This will not happen," combined with the leaked newsletter, leads me to believe that they think it will at some point.
I should take this time to mention that if Blink ever ceases to run due to any circumstances, I will be refunding all account balances to their owners as long as you have more than a couple million ISK and have logged in within the last few months. So no matter what-- your money is safe with me. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Well, I decided to give it a shot, registered, waited for my 100m to deposit... Then I started doing a bunch of blinks... But upon reviewing the "recent winners" list, I noticed one character in the space of about 7mins won a Kronos, navy Domi, Comet, Daredevil, Navy Vex, etc etc... literally about 3/4 of the lotteries... Nice rigged lotto XD _________________________________________________ |

Also, I started a blink on a navy comet, picked ticket number 6.. Im assuming that "starting" the blink gives you first shot at the first ticket, but when the blink launched it took my money but didnt register my name on ANY ticket

Hi! I noticed you thought that you were missing a ticket on a Comet. Here's what the balance tool says.
Total ISK deposited, credited, bonused: 175,980,000 ISK ISK still on account: 980,000 ISK Total spent: 175,000,000 ISK
Total ISK spent:
175,000,000 ISK on blinks 0 ISK on the Utu bonk 0 ISK on the Avatar bonk 0 ISK on the Guardian-Vexor bonk
Total ISK: 175,000,000 ISK
So it appears that your tickets purchased vs. balance is correct. Here's a list of your tickets.
516979 247 Capital Ships 1 517303 6 Kronos 47000000 517311 6 Daredevil 15000000 517324 6 Daredevil 15000000 517324 3 Daredevil 15000000 517357 6 Federation Navy Comet 5500000 517383 51 Orca 1 517397 6 Taranis 3000000 517404 13 Spodumain 28000000 517406 6 Nemesis 5000000 517410 6 Ishkur 5000000 517431 6 Cyclone 4000000 517432 6 Hawk 3000000 517440 6 Raptor 2000000 517471 6 Taranis 3000000 517525 8 Dominix 8500000 517535 6 Wolf 5000000 517537 6 Wolf 5000000 517539 6 Raptor 2000000 517539 7 Raptor 2000000 517539 8 Raptor 2000000 517646 93 30 Day Pilot's License Extension (PLEX) 1 517648 51 Moon 1 517649 25 Constellation 1 517650 51 Paladin 1
Looking at Blink #517357, I can see that it was indeed started by you for a Comet and you got ticket 6. You should be able to find this blink in your "My Blinks" page. Hope this helps!

Do you think it would be possible to have an auto update on the site having to refresh every second to keep up is a bit crazy.

A great way to spend time and ISK! (And as addicting as exotic dancers :D)
A suggestion, though: Would it be possible to see the item picture turning to the info screen on mouseover on the promo blinks you already have blinked on as well? I try to take number 1 spot always, so I really don't have time to look at what the item actually is, and seeing the info afterwards would be cool.

Bump, Great lottery service. BTW i won a Chimera earlier and selected delivery at HUB. Is that the correct option to choose for Caps? Coz caps can only operate in low/null sec i was wondering how i would take delivery of the carrier. I also won a Vigilant which i'm still waiting on. I won them this morning about 5.30 Eve time approx. Do they normally take this long? The reason i ask is you guys are normally spot on with delivery so i am wondering if i did anything wrong while selecting HUB delivery. Thanks in advance. Sajun.

Whilst waiting for the bonks to appear; thought I'd share some 'useless'? Blink statistics painstakingly compiled over the past couple hours:-
Of the last 50 Promo's:-
- The Caldari Ballistic Control System was the only item to be promo'd twice...
Numbers 5, 48 74,110, 128 and 147 were the winning numbers twice each... Baron Ratsluck, Reno684, Paulus Thomori and Damion Ellecon each won twice... The fastest promo lasted only 39 seconds... The slowest promo lasted 26 minutes and 35 seconds... The average promo lasted 5 minutes and 48 seconds... I didn't win any...
p.s. GREAT site Somer :)

1. Yup, you chose the right option. Blink doesn't offer a courier service with caps :P We will always contract cap ships in low sec, never in null sec. As close as we can get them to Jita as possible.
2. Your vigilant was fulfilled on 2011-06-30 17:58:28
We try to keep fulfillment under 24H as much as possible, and 95% of the time our fulfillment time is well under our estimated time. However, because of the 40T celebrations so far we've been seeing a lot more claims than our usual standard operating day. Caps can take a little longer.

While I'm here, just want to say a big thank you to all those that have enjoyed using SOMER Blink as we reach yet another milestone, and what a milestone it is - 40 Trillion - wow that is a big number. Congrats to all our many winners \o/

Blink going to die? Slow payouts, people dont get their price from bonk. And tbh not as much "preauth" online like it use to be. It is going to an end? Or just much irl stuff going on? In the good old days there was party in the channel, always preauth and people blinked like maniacs.

Blink lives on and on. Somer just moved and still settling in new job. Our beloved Andrev had to take break from eve for some RL love I believe. So seems to be some new ppl are being broken in but doing brilliant from what I've seen. Only thing to be slow is the huge recent payouts, but that's to be expected as Somer will personally hand over such lovelys'. (I did test, since some complained, and I received isk payouts less than 5hrs which was fantastic imo.)
Far as the party chat, well, there's some great ppl in there and read many memorable lines. Some nights have lulls, especially after extravaganzas. The new staff seems to finding their play voice better tho.
(Note: I do not work for Somer, yet dream of her telling me what to do.) (Extra note: If someone mentions Promo, wheather they be new or alt, there's no need to put fear Blink staff disappear. If something awesome in world occurs, I believe it's fine to humourously ask or least inquire for promo. The staff still lurks and the banter is part of the fun. At least to me.)

Hi all,
Looking to have my gf buy me a 60-day GTC from shatteredcrystal via SOMER.blink.
I've been looking over the websites and obviously this works as people have been recommending it but I was wondering how somer.blink can tell you've bought a GTC and who to send the 50mil ISK and 4 credits to. I'm sure someone can answer this but was just wondering :-)
Looks to be a very clever system and a fun way to potentially lose me some ISK :-)
Hope to hear back from you clever peeps soon :-) |

Hiya,
Click through the banner (with the picture of the PLEX) and immediately complete your purchase using that browser. It's okay to not use the IGB, just load Blink in your external browser like Firefox and click on the banner there.
After your SC purchase is done, they'll e-mail you a receipt with a number that looks like this: "Receipt #110012345". Return to the Blink site, and click "Claim GTC Credit" right underneath the banner, and type in that number.
If you need help, just toss me an Evemail :) |

SUGGESTION
Common Scenario:
1) Blink 2) Win Stuff 3) Choose ISK buyout 4) Blink more 5) Run out of Blink credit 6) Desire to deposit more 7) ISK buyouts not yet processed
IDEA:
Give the option to change your mind on claimed prizes to transform them into Blink credit, so we're not itching to deposit when we've got a big withdrawal coming anyways, and we can keep on Blinking!

The biggest problem with this is the race condition. If an employee is in the middle of handing out ISK and you switch to credit, you may get double-paid, good for you, not so much for us. It's something to think about though!
If an employee is on, you can ask in the channel to have your choice switched-- just provide them the 6-digit BlinkID. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

I was told by some employee of Blink that selling answers to Pres Butan is a bannable offense. Yet this is written nowhere on the site. Further, selling answers seems to hold to the ideals of EVE, in which everything can be sold for profit to those that might desire the service or goods.
Could I get a clarification on this?
Thanks.

Sharing the answer to the Butan question is a bannable offense - if we catch you giving away the answer, or if hints are givin in the Somer Lotteries channel, unfortunately we'll have to take away your ability to play Butan. Some people have expressed the opinion that this is a bit harsh, or against the core of Eve, but without restrictions in place, Butan would (and did) not work. We find trivia a very engaging way to get Blinkers involved and thinking about Eve, so we'd like to see it stick around as long as possible. 
While some people think it's a great idea to share the answer to corpmates or friends in private chats, they should realize that for every correct answer that's submitted, their own prize goes down. It's this rational self-interest that keeps the butan fun for5 everyone, and we're hoping it will continue. If it doesn't we'll just have to adapt, and find new ways to approach the problem.
Hope that clarifies everything. Sorry it's not very visible on the site; we're trying to get our FAQ re-written at the time so that all the information will be consolidated in one place.

Hello again blinkaholics!
Today I won a promo treasure map, which was interesting. I dragged my alt down to Jita anticipating a long hunt through dangerous space and was pleasently surprised when it only took me two jumps. Also from the contents of the container either Shuurh has something to hide or hes trying to frame me for something... - 100 bags of counterfeit credits - 1 Test Bong (Bong? whats a bong?) - 2 Piles of garbage - 5 Bottles of spirit - 1 Criminal DNA - 2 Imperial navy gate permits
So, from the evidence I can deduce that Shuurh used to clean up (salvage) after the imperial navy. One day he got drunk and accidently salvaged a live criminal wanted for questioning over blink fraud with counterfeight credits. On the run from the law he stuffed all the evidence in to a container gave a bookmark away as a treasure hunt... Roughly.
Also there were a few other things :) - 1 run Navy slicer bpc - 5 Navy acolytes - All Navy Hardeners - Navy EANM - Navy Adaptive and thermic membrane - 3 Navy cap rechargers - Navy heatsink
Thanks a lot blink for all the prizes! Be depositing again shortly once I get some more ISK

Fair enough. I would not have sold answers to the latest Butan had the rules been clear on the bannable point. Which is why I feel it is unfair that I have been banned from Butan in the future. EVE is a very open-ended game, so it seemed to me that selling answers for some extra ISK was in line with the sort of environment that EVE is, that everything can be bought and sold.

I've been playing Somer's various games for over a year now and have had a lot of fun and have won some great prizes. While this is not a sure fire way to get rich, it is entertaining and you can win big now and then. I've never had a problem getting my prizes, and any issued I've had, which were caused by me, were handled promptly by Somer or one of her kind staff. So thanks for all the good times Somer, I wish you continuing success.

HEY !
I got banned by one of your representatves this morning in your chat channel.
I did absolutely nothing wrong but do a slight joke, some guy was asking for a Somer Rep, and I said "Yeah I'm a rep, send me all your isk, it's ok I'll keep it for myself."
That was obviously a joke ... I mean who takes this kind of **** seriously ? I see things being said in that channel all day that are way worse.
So could I get unbanned ? Because this is ridiculous. Way to treat your customers.

Heyo Doc :)
Sorry for the inconvenience on that - we have to be fairly hardassed on the "no-impersonating" rule when we see it happen. Even obvious jokes have caused issues in the past. Happily, it was just a short-term ban, more meant to avoid perpetuation and escalation than exclude you from the channel. You should be allowed back in shortly, if you're not already :)
Happy blinking! Role Reform

Heyo king :)
Every now and again, someone sees someone else win a string and this type of post pops up. I'm always happy to address it, though :)
Sometimes, a person (or group of people) wins several in a row because they buy a larger number of tickets to a specific blink. "Buying better odds" essentially.
Sometimes, a person wins several in a row just due to sheer blind luck.
But with over 426,461 prizes given away (not counting the 4,380 free promo giveaways), we'd need a LOOOOTTT of alts to perpetuate a scam on the scale you're suggesting :p
And, as many others have pointed out over the months, every legitimately closed blink nets us a bit of profit. We'd be terminally stupid to rig the system in any way, as it would be the one sure-fire way to kill our business forever.
Equally, if we really wanted to, we could just have open and honest "house bets" where everyone loses. Many other gambling sites, both online and in real life, use this tactic. We prefer there to always be a real winner, so we didn't do this - but if we really wanted to, we could have done so perfectly openly.
If you like, you're free to evaluate our method for choosing winners. The code we use to get the number is here. As you can see, we draw it from random.org, so even we do not know who will win until after it is draw. Every ticket of every blink is exactly statistically equal. :)
You can find their real-time statistics here and several peer-reviewed papers on the quality of their random-generator here.
Hope that helps :)
PS - Always blink on 1. We rigged 1 to win. Role Reform

I've replied for a job with your wonderful establishment, but I think I screwed it up. One I don't think my response was well written and two I think the fact that I'm a pirate might hurt it. My corp and I always honor 1v1's and ransom's, but most people refuse to be ransomed because "they dont trust us". I was just curious if you guys would post to see if this hurts my chances (the pirate thing) and how many applicants you plan on applying/recieving. I've been a long time fan of blinking and the excellent customer support you guys give. Even if I never get the job I'll still keep blinking and applying for them when they come up :P

Being a pirate won't hinder your application at all, you won't need to worry about that. As for the amount of applications, we've had a quite a few so far.

Hi there, ijust got my Somer Blink account, Sithok, banned for "using multiple accounts to play promo blinks on same computer"
I have myself and my wife playing on 2 separate accounts on 2 separate computers at the same time...
Now they are both hardwired into the same modem..so if that shows up as the same IP address then thats not our fault...
Sithok is my account and GORNASHA is my wife's and we sit side by side using 2 computers..
so please unban my account..

(promos are free blinks that you can avail from using tokens that you get when depositing isk, kinda like a bonus feature, less chance of winning than normal blinks but its free)
Just won a Mach promo so i thought i'd post here my appreciation ;)

I am afraid that since I have seen so many persons claiming Blink to be a scam, that I must finally speak out. Somer, how dare you run a negative scam in which you make hundreds if not thousands of EVE players billionaires? Do you not feel any emotions when you look and see that your greed has forcefully put nearly 50 trillion isk in persons wallets? I myself have been the victim of this scam and have found myself about 4 billion isk more wealthy than when I started. All of which, I'd like to point out, was deposited in my wallet WITHOUT my knowledge? I hope all of you that come to this forum realize Somer's grandiose malicious plan, to make quite a few persons in EVE rich, and give countless others hope, while at the same time making only a margin off every blink played and being, ugh, honest. For Shame.

The sites just amazing, Promos for those of us who have luck, and regular blinks for those of us for have crap loads of isk to pour into the website, and of course that gets you more promos :D.

Will some of the special prizes require buying tickets for ISK again, like on the 40T celebration? Or will you use exclusively promo tokens, like in many past celebrations?
Because I want to make sure I have enough 'resources' to participate with... ;)

Hi,
Thoroughly enjoying the website :). Just had one question. I played a few blinks earlier, won some, lost some. Basically the amount won, doesnt appear to be the amount paid. Im sure its just something to do with me choosing the ISK option so it being less but it just seems like a large difference, so im curious as to what it is for future reference. My stats are as follows so you can see the difference im talking about:
Blinks Played 14 ISK Deposited 500,000,000 ISK Promo Blinks Played 0 Win Ratio 57.14% Blinks Won 8 Value of Blinks Won 688,000,000 ISK Megablinks Won 0 Winnings Transformed to Blink Credit 0 ISK Promo Blinks Won 0 Winnings Transformed to ISK 539,760,000 ISK
What is the difference between Value of Blinks Won and Winnings Transformed to ISK? Is the value of blinks won just the amount if taken as credit?
Keep up the good work all, excellent website.

Edited by: Andrev Nox on 23/08/2011 06:13:23 Hoyo!
The value of blinks won is based on the total ticket price of the item (based on the value of the item), whereas the value of ISK withdrawn is taken directly from the buyout values themselves (very roughly based on a median between the buy and sell value of the items themselves.) :)

The promised "Something New" has arrived!
New Blink starting bar: No longer the need to spam scroll to the bottom of the page :p
New Achievements: Time trials, high roller achievements, new ways to earn achievements and iteration on the old ones :)
Achievement progress bars: To keep track of your progress towards all the new free money, a progress bar beside each achievement will keep count of your win conditions for you. :)
The decorations are up - will you be there for the 50T bacchanalia? :D

Re: blink bar. I blink from my iPad a lot and The site has always been iPad friendly. Still is for the most part, but the blink bar doesn't show. There is no way to start a new blink from iPad right now (safari). Or is the blink bar a Flash thing? Either way, I don't see anything at all on the page. I can participate in blinks, see achievements and everything else, just no blink bar.

I also have no blink bar on either my iPad or my iPhone although the rest of the site seems to work well like the new graphics. I have tried using another browser on the iPad and that doesn't work either so it's not a safari specific fault. I too do a lot of blinking on the move so would appreciate some way of starting blinks I assume the prob is flash related Thanks

You have to unlock em to see the descriptions ;) Of course, there's quite a few folks puzzling them out together in the in-game channel "Somer Lotteries" - and it's not against the rules at all to discuss in there.

The ingame channel is full of colorful people, who are all so fun to talk to and chat with while blinking.
forget 5 stars this site deserves 100 stars, and should be included in the new player tutorial of ll the possibilities.... Somer helps make this game a true sandbox

Thanks,

Latest greatest page is basically unusable - I can start a blink and by the time response is returned blink is done/over... too much javascript in all browsers. Is pretty cool, but now unusable. Promo's are even worse takes 45-60 seconds to tell me that I've lost the selected spot... have missed at least 20 promo's because of it.
As things are, I'm done with somer.blink - why continue when interfarce has become the limiting factor... if I cannot even get a spot in a blink beyond the one I started there is little attraction.
Build.

Understandable frustration - but one has to remember that the server load is GIGANTIC during these celebration events, and things can start running more slowly then. We had over 3% of the population logged into Eve hitting the server all at once, repeatedly, spamming their F5 as fast as they could. :p
Day-to-day operation is nothing like the celebration events. :)

And the main event is now live!
For 500k ISK, you can have your chance at winning:
A Revenant Supercarrier. Three racial Supercarriers. And 5 racial Carriers!
In addition, buying a ticket to the main-event Bonk gives you an entry to a bonus prize:
A $50 gift card to the Eve store, donated by CCP! 1 of 5 SOMER Blink T-shirts!
Get em while the getting is good, people. :)

Note that, in your 50T frenzy, you forgot something...
The GTC bbuying bonus banner advertises 75m bonus; however, when you actually click on the Claim GTC Credit link below it, the claiming page still advertises the 4-for-100 deal from before the celebration. Might confuse some people. ;)

Correction, "tonite" or tonight, was in the middle of the night for Europe. So we woke up to missing out on the 50T mark and a full page of promo's.
Gz to Blink, but not everyone made it to the 50T celebration.

The celebration is a multi-day event. I've already caught more promos today than in the last week, and that even though it is the European morning before downtime, the usually least active time of day for Blink. I should know, I am European and have the page open at work every day 
So no, you haven't missed much yet - but if you go sit in a corner and pout for the next 3-4 days, THEN you will miss it.

If you dont care about missing out on a full page worth of promo blinks thats fine, but i for one find it frustrating that because of the timezone i am in less of a chance to win a prize than others because all the promos happening at night. Promos could be fx. randomly drawn to the account names instead. That way everyones has the same chance and arent forced like you to sit on blink all day at work where you should be.. working.
If you close blink page and take a trip to the caribbean, THEN you will miss it also. <- My best attempt to counter your logic with another logic.

Won a blink and chose blink credit instead of isk/delivery.
Note to self: move all in-game isk off blink char ASAP!!

75m Blink credit per GTC, and an extra 100m for 4 or more, so 150 in that scenario :)

i wanted to start out with the fact i really enjoy your service. Its great fun, perhaps a bit to addicting.
but was watching won blinks just now. And i noticed something weird you might want to look at
looking at your rules it says
Quote: How many active blinks are allowed on the board? Normal Blinks: Maximum 6
so i was surprised to see Jax Hammer bidding 8 times on the same normal blink..

An "active blink" is an item being blinked on, not tickets you buy on items.

You misunderstood the policy in that regard. "active blinks on the board" in this case means the number of simultaneous lotteries going. I.e. one Harpy, one Wolf, one Raptor, one Megathron, one Navy Hookbill and one Manticore. That is 6 active blinks.
There is no rule governing how many tickets one player may buy on a single blink (with the exception of promos, which are limited to 1 ticket per player). If someone wants to buy all 8 tickets on a normal blink, they are free to do so - and they are in fact cheating themselves out of ISK, since the actual value of most items is roughly equal to 6 tickets.
A guy who buys all 8 tickets might do it for achievement hunting, or to fabricate an artificially inflated Win Ratio, but he's essentially buying an item for 30% above Jita price everytime he does it. Not a very good deal, if you ask me.

For those of us who didn't blow our promo token hoard on the 50T events and don't get on to many promos, how about a daily "wheel of fortune"? 10 promo tokens gets you one spin a day, prizes range from nothing to blink credit or a random ship?
Just something to burn through promo tokens a bit faster.

Hey Somer, is there any chance in the future that the awards with meta-unlocks will be visible once unlocked?
Im talking about the awards like, Blinks in Black, Blink: Brought to You By the Letter "B" when you say, got the Basilisk that the ship then gets highlighted under the award progress?
Its hard to remember which ships you won on those lists when you werent aware of the award when you started blinking :) |

Edited by: Satchu Phaidon on 04/09/2011 09:21:38 I won a Nightmare in a promo blink, and My Blinks page says its status is immediate delivery. Does this mean it gets put in Jita, or delivered to a different system...?
EDIT: Never mind, I just got the contract.

Hints come from the achievement names and their category. You might find people in the chat channel that have figured them out as well. Finally, many of them have progress bars that you can use as a guide :) --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |
