Sweet if you're one of the 4-5 pilots that has a perpetual amount of ISK to keep dropping into it...then win, cash in, have more ISK, rinse and repeat...meanwhile the rest of the playerbase just seem to be throwing away their hard earned (ie not their "Blink is my main source of income" ISK)
That's just my observation. |

Okay, I've just (5 minutes ago) started playing this, and I can already see it's gonna be horribly addictive.. I've already won a PLEX on my third Blink! \o/
I would recommend this game for sure!

Yeah, Blink has gone from fishy but seemingly legitimate to just plain fishy.
In before someone at Blink talks about statistical anomalies, people who play consistently having wins that are in-line with their play style, and everything looking generally 'fine' on their side. I gave them their last chunk of of ISK from me in the last celebration. |

They use Dice to draw the bonks. Or does your tinfoil have room for Chribba under it, too? |

If you buy 200,000 out of 300,000 bonk tickets, you've got a 66% chance of winning; you're also a much bigger gambler than anyone else who is bonking, so the rules are going to cater to you.
On a different note, do you guys contact bonk winners via mail? I haven't won before, but I don't check in all the time after the drawing either.

It's great that they use dice, but dice doesn't have anything to do with the ticket list - it just picks a number. They also don't use dice to choose winners for the normal blinks. |

We mail them, post them to the site, and post them to the channel :) As with normal blinks though, there's no deadline on claiming a page. If you logged in a year later and saw the mail for the first time, we'd still get your prize to you :)

Very flattered you made a char to join the discussion with :) This is indeed correct - Using Dice with a non-public ticket list is 100% pointless. This is why we post up the full ticket list and give the hundreds (sometimes thousands) of people on the site during a drawing time to download it for themselves before Dice are ever unlock.
And yes, we don't use Dice for normal blinks - with 5-10 thousand Blinks completed per day, using Dice for all of them wouldn't be in the slightest feasible, not to mention a horrific presumption on Chribba's kindness for hosting Dice for the public :) We use random.org for normal, day-to-day Blinks. For folks who still want to gamble, but only with exclusively using Dice, there are lots of great forum lottos out there. :)

Now that is what is known as an unfounded accusation, as it lacks detail, in fact any detail to support the accusation. People whose opinions who are formed without reason will gladly accept such a pitiful attempt as fact. while those who are burdened with withholding the formation of an opinion until some form of credible, verifiable evidence is presented will look upon such statements as desperate attempts to cast doubt when there is not enough reason to do so. It kind of falls into the "your mother... (insert sexual comment here)... crap that passes for humor amongst the immature.
Andrev, who I am quite sure is so tired of repeating himself to the few people out there who create new alts for each assault on the Benchmark celebrations, did not mention that random.org is used by thousands of sources needing random numbers. Some of these sources are statistics professors developing random data bases for thier students to use, and for some government lotteries to decide winners. All it takes is a little research, but research is anathema to the tinfoil hat belief society. They rely on rumor, innuendo and pseudo facts created with faulty, if any, methodology, actually anything which supports their argument can become a solid fact to them.
Blink is a casino, not a job, not a welfare office, not a place dedicated to equally distributing the wealth of those who chose to to play; it is a place where people play games, not a place where the rich necessarily become richer, unless they are very careful in understanding and applying the art of statistical evaluation of the availble data, having the self discipline to stop playing when they are losing, or not even losing, but just comfortabley ahead. Real life casinos call the rich "whales" and offer them huge perks to return to their casinos. These perks are known as comps in the gambling world and can be lavish rooms with hot tubs and even swimming pools, catered meals prepared in room, butlers available 24/7, stationary embossed with the whales name with postage applied and waiting in the room upon their arrival, show tickets, limo services and all at "no expense" but based on how much the whale is known to lose on each visit. Those lavish buildings in Las Vegas are not just paid for with the quarters of the 99%, but with the millions from the 1%. For those who want to becme rich from gambling, start a casino and make it a user friendly site, like keeping prizes waiting for winners instead of making a deadline of one two week contract and then the prize is considered to be "abandoned" Help players who make mistakes in their deposits by refunding the part they did not intend to deposit when they mistakenly hit that extra zero.... instead of listing all the user friendly acts, just do it the way Blink does it.
There is a old saying attributed to Francis Marion, also known as the Swamp Fox, who fought an unconventional war against the British Forces in the American Revolution. This was at a time in history when European Armies lined up shoulder to shoulder and marched toward each other in a sort of dance of death where each side took turns with the first rank kneeling and firing while the second rank stood and fired, then the next two ranks advanced over the bodies of their fellow soldiers moving in front of them and repeated the movements. Both sides advanced this way until one yielded or withdrew and the side left standing was considered the winner. Often, crowds of civilians would line the battlefields to cheer on their side while sipping wine and eating scones under the shade of umbrellas and attended by their servants. Francis Marion had few soldiers, lived in the swamps of South Carolina where the British forces would not go as it did not allow for their method of fighting. Marion could not waste the lives of his soldiers providing entertainment for the upper class, so he would ambush and withdraw, telling his fighters, "we will live to fight another day."
Gamblers who actually accrue money, conserve cash to gamble another day. The conventional gambler, just as the European conventional armies, will lose just about everything and feel like a winner if they can find someone who lost more and it is not hard to find such a person as it is quite fashionable to brag about one's loses brought on by an inability to gamble wisely and a lack of self-discipline to quit at an appropriate time or amount lost. One difference easily noted, is that the commanders who survived would praise their survivors for bravery, and modern day losers on the battlefields of casinos just whine and claim it is rigged as their "system", if they even have one, continues to be the one not favored by the prevailing luck.
I cannot speak for Andrev, but I would think he has little about which to pout. Foolish alts come and go. |

And oh yes. Your choice of name and face can invoke sympathy for you from the unhealthy who you seem to want to liken yourself to.
However, the healthy who would not continue to live with a chimp who ever struck her once, you are to be pitied, but more for your lack of courage to break out of the battering situation, especially in this day and age of shelters and many forms of assistance for wives and kids who got stuck with a low life batterer. If you have been attracted to a string of batterers, then you are to be pitied to not have refined your selection process and had the self esteem to realize that no person deserves to live with a batterer.
If you believe you deserve to be battered and your spouse's anger, verbal and physical abuse of you and your kids is your fault, as the betterer manipulates you inot believing, then you need help, a lot of help. I suggest to anyone to seek help if you are being abused by your spouse, as abuse is not an act of love and not what loving people do to each other. Look in your local yellow pages, the internet, and reconnect with your family and friends, perhaps a religious figure, the batterer has forced you to abandon so the "secret" can be kept and you cannot be influenced by others who love you and are concerned by the bruises and lost teeth.
If you have been tortured into believing that you, your kids and your family will be sought out and injured/killed if you leave, you really need to get away from that bully - it is the second most difficult thing you will ever do in your life. Staying will be the most difficult thing.
The bully will quickly move on to another person with very low self esteem who is looking for the next batterer to enter their miserable life.
Perhaps one day, society will have fewer people who are attracted to the false charm provided by the thosw who will soon be battering, as they escalate it it from harsh words, to a shove, to a hard, painful squeeze of a hand or wrist, to a punch to a place easily covered with clothes to what moves into full fledged beatings, in a relationship where you cannot have pain, but must mirror the feeling of the batterer. Where you can only be happy if the batterer is happy so you wait to see the batterer's mood before you can form one. And while the battering is escalating from that first fear inducing harsh glance, you will slowly be torn from your friends and family, moved to a different part of town, or a different town, perhaps to a more secluded spot. You will be cut off from money, even if you make it. you will be criticized for your every move and decision, including the clothing which used to draw praise, but not be allowed to spend any money for different clothing.
Yeah, your life will be hell, just like the life with the last batterer.
So GET HELP and break the cycle.
If, and I am only covering the possibilities, not accusing, but IF you chose that name and face because you are a batterer and are trying to intimidate the best way you can in an anonymous forum where there is not physical contact - that is something a pig would do. Not that I am accusing you of being a pig, but I amd describing behaviors and not any one person. |

I have temporarily edited some posts in this thread until such time as they can be completely moderated. Personal attacks, rumours and mud slinging are not welcome on these forums, all it does is derail threads. If you feel there are issues with the way somebody conducts themselves in EVE feel free to file a petition, or if you feel something is a scam feel free to post on the crime & punishment forum.
What I ask you to NOT do is derail other peoples threads with personal arguments and childish name calling. These are the rules laid down by CCP that everyone here agreed to when clicking yes to the EULA and Website Terms of Use, repeated breaches of those rules will lead to a warning and eventually to a revocation of your forum access rights.

Posting a link to evenews24 isn't a personal attack, a rumor or mud slinging.

Thank you guys so much for stepping in.
Are you going to review the previous pages for mudslinging and unfounded scam claims?
With only two petitiions at a time, it could take me quite a while to report them all.
Sorry, I never thought about petitioning the onslaught of day old toons with a new set of rumors that pop up every benchmark celebration.
Thank you for your diligence and it is reassuring that we are not alone. |

Loved the tinfiol hats idea you have for the NEX store. (NEX always brings the "Naval Exchange" the US Navy's version of the PX to my mind, but then years ago when I first heard of Navy's Exchange, I thought it was referring to corrective surgery, navel exchange to turn an "outy to an inny".)
Not sure if the army of alts that gets rotated out every benchmark celebration would be willing to spend their precious AUR on a throwaway toon. Maybe we could get a grass roots movement going to supply them. |

Okay, I've always wondered: How the heck do you get multiple tickets?
I see 8 ticket blinks with half or more to the same person, yet I think the most I've ever managed on a blink I started was 2 before the blink was over.

I wish I knew. I see tix I tried to buy win a lot. Sometime back, I think blink decreased the time in a very small amount, between the ticket purchase and the comencement of "board hop". There was a time when I could start a blink and by using my FPS skills for rapid target acquisition and firing, I could get 8 and when I was being dumb, 12 tickets of my choice. Now the best I can do when starting a blink is to ocasionally get a third ticket of my choice before the board hop begins.
How players manage to get their same pattern repeatedly is a mystery to me. I guess I never want to meet them as enemies when I play FPS games.
Here are some tips I have found useful. Many of these will depend on personal choice, and some I've stopped using, not because they were bad, but I felt I had found something a little more useful and we are talking about nano seconds being the difference between hero and zero:
My style of play is blitz blink. The faster each blink closes, the quicker the isk goes out. When I see a blink that has been up for 5 minutes, I know we've missed 20 paydays. The down side is if you are losing. But I see that as a positive, because when I am losing, I stop playing and watch the numbers to find out what is winning and why didn't I figure it out before hand. Sorry, I'm a stats nut. If you want to argue with that, then argue with my standings and leave me alone because until you develop a statistical theory that is replicated in refereed jounals like these:
http://www.stata.com/links/statistics-and-general-journals/
and stand the statistical world on it's collective head - I'll stick with what I know and what I used to teach.
I close every window but the Blink window from their website. I don't work well with distractions and the promos become evident whenever a ticket is purchased and you can see the whole blink board, so I don't have to rely on the kind folks on the chat who let others know when a promo starts. But I still love you guys for being such great examples of sportsmanship!
Open your blink window wide enough so that green flag which covers the top number on the left side is out of the way. I can't even tell you what that green flag has on it.
Try rotating your screen to portrait, depends a lot on your screen size and whether you play on a laptop. I guess that might not work if you are playing on one of those 8 foot plasma wall replacements in your theatre room. ("Sorry Honey! These guys will be out of here soon. I'm going to play Blink and Rep234 said to do it this way!" Oh my! Not responsible for relationship difficulties!) I rotated my 30 inch monitor to portrait mode and I reduced the zoom on the screen so I could see the entire board. I could then stop scrolling to look for the blink I wanted, I could just glance and find it.
I gave up the screen rotation, because the spreadsheets I use had to be brought from out of sight to be used and updated. Now I am back to landscape. I keep the blink screen at 40%. I can't read anything on it, but I recongize the icons of the prizes I'm focusing on. The "Recently Completed Blinks" and the "Past Blinks" are only useful to me when I am in research mode, so when I am in play mode, all I want to see are the blinks. By doing this, I can almost see the entire board, so I no loger have to scroll - just target and fire. The ticket blocks are much smaller, but they are much closer together, so that is a tradeoff each person will have to decide for themselves. I experimented quite a bit. 10% zoom didn't take long to rule out.
Occasionally, I will just look at the blink board and refresh it as often as it will refresh without hanging up. I will see pattern players open a rorq or one of the popular big ticket items. Most likely, they will have their 8 tickets within three refresh clicks. Usually, the sequence refreshed screens is:
Screen 1 - no Rorq in play
Screen 2 - Rorq with three tickets
Screen 3 - Rorq with six tickets
Screen 4 - Rorq with eight tickets
Screen 5 - Players who did not start the blink start to show with tickets.
I used to be able to do that with my FPS skills of targetting and firing. I guess this old gunslinger has lost his touch. I did give up FPS games around the beginning of this year as they were not conducive to the reduced level of my management of PTSD so it is quite understandable that I would have experienced an erosion of abilities. Some might say that Blink would suffice to keep those skills honed, but in the FPS games I play, the targets are usually smaller than a single letter in the ticket buying box, the target is moving and I am usually in a helicopter that is moving a great deal faster than the target and oh yeah, toss in the difficulty points for the transversal relationship between the target and I. Another factor is in FPS, I often play round after round for hours at a time when I may only blitz blink for a total of 15 minutes a day in two or three segments seperated by hours.
Please don't think I am trying on tinfoil hats, but the hats I do wear are off to those who have the speed which seems to exceed what I once had. Every gunfighter always finds someone faster. I would be very disappointed to find out if anyone has developed a technological edge to enhance ticket selection speed. I am quite confident that anyone bent on cheating who might ever come into the game and say, "I have an app for that" will be discovered by Blink and banned. It is certainly not in their interest to have any kind of cheats at work.
There is a saying among US Army helicopter pilots - at least the first I ever heard of it was in flight school when an instructor showed a slide which said:
"There are bold pilots
there are old pilots
but there are no old, bold pilots"
I am always hoping the same goes for those who seek technological advantages over others when their skills fails them |
