Dwarf Fortress in Thotmarket...
« on: September 11, 2007, 02:58:00 am »

Thot Market

It's a site with simulate the stock market and at the same time promotes sites through this funny simulation. I've set up Dwarf Fortress there so if people are interested in bringing DF up in popularity somewhat, sign up and buy DF stocks...and get rich with virtual money in the process...it's kinda a great fun  :D

And whilst at it, get some stock from the Mount&Blade game (was introduced to this from there) :P

Well, I've set it up at 50% public so...I dunno?

I am kinda hoping on that a lot will join in so I did a standard 50/50 cut :P

Oh yah, and don't forget to click on the link to DF from that site as well so that revenue actually can be generated...

Ok so "DIVIDENDS are distributed as visitors click on the thot’s link." So everytime someone uses the thot link we get 1 cent per share?

All in all that website seems a cool idea.

Wonder why it's value is still the same  :confused:
Other shares fluctuated in prices rather quickly, with or without stimuli...

Oh well, give it a day or so maybe...

What link do they mean anyway?

The link in their site...if you follow links from their site then revenue will be generated to those who own shares to that link/site.

Dunno to be honest...think it's hourly, if anyone's clicked on the link that is.

Yesser, I just invested me 100 thot dollars in that hot stock! It's already growing.

edit: Don't forget to re-invest the dividends frequently for maximum profit. They really need a "Buy max" button. Also, what's to keep me from clicking the link a billion times?
