Buy Anandtech stocks!

[n7]

I think i have to stop playing this.

It's basically the closest to an addiction i've ever had on the PC, as i've gotten absolutely nothing done otherwise in the past 3 days.
Spending tons of time on my PC is nothing new, but nothing's ever sucked me in quite like this has.

That, & the taxes = uber ghay.
Basically, if you don't spend 24/7 monitoring things, you lose shitloads of money.

The way this game is presently designed, it's pure crack.

And wtf is with the haxalicious bugs, like how i come home from watching Resident Evil & see a stock where i owned 50% of somehow got bought out from me...
And i know for a fact i owned 1 more stock than exactly 50%, so wtf...

yeah i know what your saying n7, i think its the owners of the game, if you go back right now, all of the top stocks, are owned by the head players ie: midnightneko. he owns all the top stocks right now, and they're really glitchy and hella expensive too.

edit: and hell, look at nikon(one i made) is owned by the bastard too. i think they're just taking what they want and screwing over everyone honestly.

 

[TwiceOver]

Yeah, I woke up this morning to not owning a bunch of my stocks that I had over 50% in last night with trading frozen. Now they are mysteriously in others hands. Almost all of my stocks went below 50% last night even though there were no shares available for anyone to buy.

You guys should buy some meth, I heard its really good for you.

 

[imported_Truenofan]

i seriously think they're doing it. no other possible way beside the owners of the web site doing it. i dont see how its possible.

edit: they did it AGAIN. they made more stocks on my owned companies and it would have been possible for someone else to own em, basically after every downtime, you have to go back, and buy more of your own company back that they made more stocks for. i see why they're doing it, but its gay for those of us who made em, and then cant get it back for some reason. take a look, im over the actual amount of stocks and i own em, how does THAT work,
i have over 200% on everything i own. wow.

Yeh I just got back from breakfast and in about an hour and a half (or so) available stock for all of my companies magically appeared out of nowhere. Lost two more.

I think I'm probably done. It was fun while it lasted. Maybe after it comes out of beta I'll give it another shot.

Shares from your private stash become available if you go idle. If you stop playing, they'll slowly leak them.

[thecrecarc]

Why did http://www.thotmarket.com/thot.php?id=MTYxNjkyNzM= suddenly become 0 public shares owned and now i got control of it? Also, how did i control 50% of a stock 1 day, and suddenly went down to 30% when i didnt add any stocks?

 

[imported_Truenofan]

yeah its fuckin bullshit i swear. whats windfall tax, i havent had that yet. this is getting so gay.

crecarc, they add stocks without your permission every downtime on the game. so if you dont get on right after it, you might lose something.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

midnieneko's latest script is flooding the game with 2 cent stocks. stay away from his BS

 

[reallyfull]

Red Hat stocks are moving pretty quick. I hope it goes somewhere.

Bought 3003 shares. My dividends don't pay out as much as they used to, the whole thing got all fucky wucky.

 

[n7]

I'm done with this shit.

This morning, i'm now sitting way below 50% on stocks i was over 50% with since either they added stocks, or removed them, since i was idle for all of what, 12 fucking hours?

Good grief.

Till they get rid of fucktards like MidniteGhayko, & stop making the game so you must be sitting on your account 24/7, i'm staying away.

I will admit, this concept is incredibly kewl, & is fun, but when a game keeps changing so much that you literally get raped if you're not on your account 24/7, it's stupid.

And the windfall tax needs to go f*ck itself.

Who wants my accounts?

Seriously, first person who asks for my n7 account (worth around $17,751,014,351) amazingly, even though i haven't done a thing for half a day, it's theirs.

I love the concept of thotmarket, but they need to increase the difficulty. A lot.

And while i get that if you're idle for a week, you should be penalized, but idle for an hour = billions lost?

Some of us have to work 5 days a week, & on those two days we have off, have other stuff to do

If they make it somewhat more realistic & more bug-free, i'll go back to it. With one of my other accounts
