I'd like to sleep first, then I'll be back on this first thing in the morning.

Except for Chribba's brief remarks, I see that most web hosts are strangely quiet on this. And for good reason.

If the more mouth frothing anger management deficient among you get your way and CCP decides you are right that any income is RMT, say goodbye to your kill boards, news sites, blogs, market sites and character sheets. Anything that relies on click-throughs and affiliates to cover hosting costs. Be careful what you wish for, people. You might just get it.

Mr Epeen

Anti-blink sentiment is pretty much all somer's own doing.

Dinsdale is pissed. CCP Falcon slapped him down earlier, twice, for being the anklebiting sack of crap he is.

He's pushed his luck pretty well thus far, but I think they've reached the end of their patience.

If proven to be true, this is another scandal, Somerblink RMTing. That would mean Somerblink and Co cheated, manipulated outcomes of blinks and winners to benefit them because when it comes to real money, people get weird and would do anything to keep making money. Somerblink defraued people who played on their site and your game was the vehicle that they used to perpetrate their activities. They have cheated the community and CCP. I am not a lawyer, but I would say that this is fraud and the numbers involved are astronomical. I have played Somerblink over the years and have seen some shady/questionable things. Whenever someone is found guilty, the punishment usually includes restitution. Other players and myself that have played with large sums of isk should be compensated. At least the amount of tokens and 5% of deposited funds should be rewarded to all players. Be assured that Somblink's coffers can take the hit.

You have to ask yourself at what point will/would Somerblink start changing the dynamics of our game? Just like the giant corporations in the real world, they are not too big to fail. Shut them down.

Darn you Sabriz, I literally cannot call cats anything other then catlets anymore, my girlfriend feels the same way, and it's making me crazy :P

So since Somer can't use Eve to print RL money anymore, he closes up shop.

This should tell you all you need to know. He never cared for the community, or the players or Eve, just blinded by the almighty dollar.

To Somer:
Take your ball and go home then, may the IRS bless you with an audit.

Question to CCP Falcon:

Given CCP's usual punitive actions when RMT accounts and their clients are discovered, will the clients of Somer that partook of this offer also face the usual actions for being a party to RMT transactions?
