AoD on ThotMarket

[HardCode]

I've IPO'd AoD on ThotMarket. Perhaps that will bring some free PR for the game.

The guys on the Taleworlds forum got Mount & Blade to the top spot, and it consistantly appears back on the first page for the last five days.

Uh... what's ThotMarket?

ThotMarket.com is a social bookmarking website that provides links to interesting and useful content on the web. The links featured on ThotMarket have all been submitted by our users much like many other websites like Digg.com and Reddit.com. ThotMarket is a little different than those sites, however, in the way that these links are ranked. On this site, users buy and sell shares in these links very much like how investors trade shares of companies on the regular stock market. Links on the site are ranked by their trading price, with the more valuable links ranked higher. (Reference)

Aka another free market failure.

Why?

"No. ThotMarket is a virtual stock market, meaning that no actual money is involved. Users are actually just trading credits within the system."

So it is just they way of scoring links, nobody actually pay real money for it. If it work like stock market then people who buy stocks of links that will become more popular have bigger influence on deciding on future links rankings. Also people are forced to measure how good link is not just press max number of stars every time they like link, they also can change opinion by selling stacks.

Why?

You could of, you know, clicked on the reference to find the answers you seek. Lazy git.

It's basically like a stock market simulated Digg. It's a way to get a link to a site popular, during the playing of a stock market game.

Investor-driven information marketing FTW!!!

 

[thesheeep]

This seems like a strange game for very strange people.

(Thotmarket.. not AoD >.<)

Oblivion is a normal game for normal people.

>.<

^_^

 

[Nedrah]

I thought AOD was the game supposed to appeal exclusively to very strange people - hc roleplayers and the likes...?

 

[Vault Dweller]

4.65 already!

 

[Elhoim]

Wow, pretty cool!

4.95!

 

[Marsal]

Well, I guess I'm rich! I bought shares for all of my initial money (1100 stocks). HardCode can retire Free market FTW!

 

[Amasius]

8.41 - I'm late, but I can already smell the profit!

 

[Nicolai]

You own: 6750 shares ($57442.50 valuation)

oh lawd

 

[Amasius]

9.03 - and I invested my loose change in Fallout.

 

[Elhoim]

Well, I bought some shares.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I should have bought it when it was cheap. I bought 200 shares at 4.65 and a few penny stocks. My net worth is 5,671 now.

Btw, it says that there are no more AoD shares available. What does that mean?

 

[Vault Dweller]

My net worth is $3,960,692. I'm going to Disneyland!

 

[Amasius]

After I sold my Fallout shares my Portfolio is now almost $450.000 worth but I can't buy more of AoD.

Edit: Oh - and there is another offer of AoD shares.

 

[John Yossarian]

Aw come on you guys don't like the Codex or what?

 

[Sitra Achara]

I think we just found the perfect indie development model

And wow, look at that, $34.44.
