Eh...they're here already - observing...judging...and, lucky for us, protecting us from the douche-bag aliens who USED to visit and make everyone pray to them...and so forth... So...until tougher aliens show up, or they...deem us not worth the effort...time to make some f'n isk to lose at the next celebration. |

I play 2 on the 8s, 99% of the time - and am at just under 25% win ratio, for 3500ish blinks. Not as good a sample, but still, damn near right on the nuts.
Ya know...I'll bet...if I bought all the tickets, my win ratio would be 100%. |

Friggin' insanity.
At the time I am making this post, there are 1,295,010 bonk tickets sold (yeah, there are 4 ridiculously juicy sets of bonk prizes).
647,505,000,000 isk spent on bonk, so far, and there are still 6d 2h 19m to go.
(P.S. for those of you who might misinterpret this post - I'm just marveling at the ****ing scale, that's all  )
(P.P.S - I'm getting carpal tunnel from all the Promos...good god  ) |

Ok...whiny little b**** who lost all her pretend internet spaceship moneys or not... 2 years, 8 months, 23 days days ago, I was impressed. Now, I'm in awe...the scale...the amount spent on bonk alone...the trillions isk worth of prizes just during this celebration... Might need to dip into the pretend internet space-kids' space-college fund. |

Possible...but not likely. I know...beating a dead horse... But, it really doesn't seem like a good pretend-internet-space-business-plan to run around banning customers...without good reason. That, and, many blink players are annoyed with people who seem to only play promos... Someone using scripts or bots...I'm guessing would be...even less popular.

Last week I was at wall-mart, stuck in a check-out line behind one of those "extreme coupon" people. She'd figured out how to get two carts full of stuff (something like dryer sheets, animal crackers, and foot powder) with wall-mart owing HER $13. She sat arguing about how the coupons clearly stated that the store should give her the money, while the cashier said it didn't matter what the coupon said, they don't do "that". Meanwhile, back in the line, there are crying children, people having arguments with themselves, a woman who had clearly pooped her pants, and of course me. I admit, I'm all kinds of in the wrong for shopping at that store, but allergy pills cost 1/3 what they do at wall-greens. And probably at one point in my life, I would have applauded the person who found a loop-hole allowing her to get two carts full of sh!t not just free, but with the store owing her. But now (call me a crotchety old f***), I'm annoyed - not just because I had to wait 10 extra minutes in line (well, mostly that) but also because there seem to be DROVES of people doing this coupon exploitation and can't just be happy with their two carts full of crap and [insert more ranting here]. |

THAT is a good idea...for people who might blink at work.

This is one of those things CCP should've never even responded to - those whiners were actually happier BEFORE blink had to change - because they had something to complain about.
Why don't the whiners care about your guy, you ask? Because he's not sharing his pie. With blink, it could certainly APPEAR that some people are on the pie list, and get a big fat slice, over and over and over and over, while most sit there just wishing for one small bite...
Try this:
1. Imagine finding out there is a party you're not invited to.
2. Imagine finding out there's a party you're not invited to where they're giving away iPads and all your friends are invited and know you're NOT invited so they don't say anything to you and when you bring it up afterwards they scold you for acting like the world owes you something while looking down their noses at you over their new iPads...
I know it's not exactly the same - but it should illustrate...that there's a difference. |

Yes, you deserve your 16B. Here's what I want to know...you're clearly not an idiot, so
- You know your complaint is actually with CCP, who were the ones who promised the prizes and then reneged after being bullied by the upper crust who don't want riffraff like us owning the same precious innernet space ships THEY have.
- You know SOMER can't give you your 16B back, because I also put X% more internet space moneys in to try to win that ship...and so did he, and also that guy, and those other 1000 guys, and...
So why do you keep pushing this? Here's my guess:
- They're being dicks about it. Ignoring you, not acknowledging your correctness, and not even apologizing.
- It looks like everyone on the pie-list is still fat and happy winning the bonk prizes, gigas, etc. - and average a promo win every other day which alone has probably resulted in more than 16B for each, while you haven't won a single flippin' promo since you started complaining...
- You LOVE the attention, AND the fact that you still have something to complain about
