FSBE is a Stock Exchange simulation game where your social presence is publicly traded. When you register you connect up your Facebook account and you are on the market. You can buy other user’s stocks and they can buy yours. Stocks' price is defined on user’s social interaction and on supply and demand, as in a real stock exchange.
Try to guess who will be the next social influecer and buy his stocks!

judgeI like the idea, but the execution here feels pretty lacking. Design potential is endless but feels woefully non-executed on, and talk of a “second FB account” leaves me with a weird feeling about the experience (e.g, something shady going on…?).

contestantCiao! L'idea è molto sottile e piuttosto sofisticata, degna di essere sviluppata ulteriormente. Certo è che se arriviamo alle speculazioni sulle attività degli account già mi immagino una generazione di diciassettenni depressi. Ahah, scherzo dai. In bocca al lupo!
voodootikigodjudgeSeems to be zero validation and without the ability to sort items, I am at a loss for understanding. Also how are there infinity priced individuals.

therazorbladejudgeI really like the idea but I’m mostly confused about using it. Why do I get to name the price of others? The system should provide with bid/ask information. How much money do I have? How come buying someone causes their price to go down?
visnupjudgefun – not really for me. and since it’s full of other facebook people I don’t know, then it’s not very funny or anything either.
design – just all text. I guess I understood what to do, but quite plain.
innovation – I’ve heard people talk about this type of simulation before. there are also similar facebook games about “who’s the most awesome friend” etc.
completeness – facebook login worked. my price also nicely changed when I did some stuff which was nifty. yay. could use some graphs over time though and a better way to tell what’s changed when.

contestantReally awesome concept. Definitely needs more than 48 hours to complete.
Really needs to explain permissions request.

Thanks!

contestantThe “game” encourages me right off the bat to create a second facebook account (no, I won’t do that, sorry) and then tries to value my social engagements as a form of virtual-monetary currency. I’m not seeing the engagement.
I would loved to have seen some real-time feeds of how other people are already doing, and would love to know what would cause a person’s “stock” to drop. Those things weren’t even addressed at the beginning, so this becomes a game of “post more stuff, get a bigger score”. That’s not how I use social networks.
My advice for in the future is to create a more compelling story first.

ahahah! no, you don’t have to create a second fb account! sorry, our mistake, we can’t change introduction as it’s hardcoded and the repo can’t be updated until judgment ends.
Your interaction level is a relation between your posts and reactions to them. If you post something and get no reactions your price is static or it decrease, if you post something and get a lot of reactions your price increase. We count likes and comments as reactions.

contestantCan you provide more information about the app in your description? I’m not willing to give up my personal information to the app without knowing why you need to do things like access my wall posts.
