I'm pretty sure you just outlined Somer Blinks business plan with some minor oversights.
1) Make isk lottery for ships.
2) RMT isk for cash.
3) Kickbacks to key CCP personnel.
4) Get free ships because you're really nice guys.
5) ???
6) Profit.

Go shoot the monument in Jita if you're truly upset about this Goons.  There's enough of you to lock it down and cause lag. Or better yet... why don't you all unsubscribe en mass as a form of protest?  CCP are sure to notice.

C'mon CCP. You can tell us. T20 was renamed to U21 and is now in control of handing out new crap to the new favorite. Right? |

Idea for ya, CCP gives you stuff, you pack VFK station with said stuff. If your home station is conquered you contract said items over to whomever does this? |

I seriously can't believe CCP is handing out freebies to a group like SOMER.Blink. They are promoting a disease that destroys thousands of lives every year, and the very nature of the gambling business pretty much guarantees there is corruption at the highest levels.
For shame, CCP, why are you trying to destroy peoples real lives? Gambling addiction is a very real, and very serious problem, and should not be endorsed this way.

I know right? People getting upset over a video game they play for entertainment.
It's not a serious activity, like watching a Soccer match. There you have to break into the stadium the night before and duct tape an axe under your seat. Then you can really show the visiting fans how much better the home team is. |

I like it when CCP hands out hundreds of billions of isk to player organisations which ultimately operate for their own profit and goals.
It's really fair and unbiased.
I mean after all, SOMER deserve special treatment - the other organisations that do similar things to somer? They don't deserve free handouts that promote their for-profit operations because well they're not somer. |

Actually the flow goes:

True, but GS has also done more to LOWER EVE's reputation and probably caused more players to quit than any other CCP "partner".

I actually agree with Goonswarm, and I hate goons!
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I want some free stuff too, CCP. A few billion would be fine by me.

As one of our logistics directors, I can firmly state that any donations CCP wishes to make to the alliance will be put to good use in providing our members with more station eggs to lose. |

Only the ones who can't adapt and move on are the ones that quit. Those are the ones any game community can be without. |

Agreed.
CCP Idiot #1: "Hey let's reward these ******* THIEVES over at BLINK by giving them trillions of ISK worth of goodies so they can further fleece our players!"
CCP Idiot #2: "OH THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA, IDIOT #1!"

Implying they won't embezzle it without revealing anything to the general public, or that it's not a scam all along. |

The thing is, SOMER gain more if they don't do the obvious and just run off with it.
CCP give SOMER a shiny worth 10 isk
Twenty people all put in 1 isk for the chance to win
they legitimately and fairly give it away to whomever won
They lose the 10 isk shiny, but have 20 x 1 isk from each player
so they still profit.
That's how these things work. CCP spawning in ridiculously huge rewards, rather than the organisation having to initially work to be able to offer those rewards just makes it incredibly unfair
Tiny isk amounts used for example purposes and to save myself having to press the 0 key too many times. |

or they could just give the 10 isk shiny to an alt or a "good friend" and have both the shiny and the 20 isk |

Why should they reveal if its a scam? They can just continue milking ISK from regular players and wait for more goodies from CCP. Its not like anyone is going to check and audit them.

True. It seems SOMER have pissed a lot more people off than I thought. |
