To be honest with the way Eve is going why the hell not |

Yes.. lets compare Genocide to a website making a few bucks from people playing internet spaceships..
Hmm.. don't over dramatise to much please |

Then just say that instead of trying to sound clever..
Maybe then people will take his post a little more seriously instead of going.. "just another dumb anti-somer poster" |

This is the reason I find it impossible to give any less of a crap what somer does. But you cant sell your ISK and get $$$Gé¼Gé¼Gé¼ and thats what SOMER is doing (and making people upset). And? I dont play Eve to make money...I play to have a good time. Why exactly should I care how much someone else in Eve makes outside the game? Besides it would hardly be worth it for the amount of $ they got/get anyways. So you call over $250k hardly worth it? The issue is that while it is 100% L3G1T for them to do it other people using the same mechanic get threatened and banned.
$250k.. that's weird as a few days ago it was a $135k over 2 1/2 year period..
Wow that has gone up..
So after a bit of maths that is about -ú550 per week before tax.
Not what I would call breaking the bank.
Now even if it was double that, say -ú1000 per week before any taxes, service costs etc that still isn't what I would call an insane amount of money.. definitely not an amount to be compared to say genocide  |

Yes but they had until recently two deals (shattered crystal + markee dragon) at the same time and the $135k is just the figure for the shattered crystal part.
So you just made up the figure then of $250k? |

No it was a number you blindly picked out of thin air as you have absolutely no idea how many plex's were sold via his affiliate link.
It could be half of that, it could x2, x5 hell it could even be x10 times that amount but nobody knows expect those who run Somerblink.
I am not defending Somer and their actions however I will also not just watch people going rampant on the forums spewing utter garbage without challenging them either as it my eyes it is just as bad.
CCP already seemed to be scared of people like yourself going on rampant nerd rages on the forums which is part of the reason why we have issue with today as it is Eve.
No issue with people like Lucas Kell who for the most part posts very good and solid arguments without having to resort to posting figures and facts that just randomly pop into his head like you. |

That was up through 9 May. Unless the association with CCP really picked up business, I'd say $200,000 is the max. But but but the server cost  Besides, the EVE Online client is meant for entertainment purposes only as clearly stated in the EULA. 
Fair enough.. Like I said, I personally think what somer is doing is sticking a big FU to CCP (yes I did use the offer) however the amount of utter rubbish being posted is crazy.
I know the Eve O forums can be bad but man |

Still haven't answered my question.. no surprise there.
Also, if they were sponsoring player events for the sole purpose to promote their business as you say, then surely wouldn't they advertise the fact on their website every time they donated isk?
Maybe even post on the forum?
I mean its pretty crappy promotion if you keep donating isk to player events and not actually telling people that your doing it. |

He is contributing by stimulating and encouraging more players to write fiction, by offering a considerably larger prize than we previously had for such contests. He's contributing and not advertising in the same way as Tag Heuer is running a race and not advertising when they plaster their name across every F1 course and TV transmissionGǪ
So in other words its bad thing that he is giving 100 plex's towards the prize fund then..
The bastard !!!! |
