Stolen! - Collect & trade your favorite people on Twitter

@nivo0o0 Thanks Niv! Really glad to finally get some more people on Stolen 😊

This is surprisingly fun and a good use of Twitter, wonder if there will be a FB version sometime.

@nivo0o0 @blader @GetStolen This is super addictive, and I've been waiting to hop on board this train since I saw the PH team members playing with it over the last few weeks :) Setup is easy, and even though I'm not much into games generally, this is one I'm fairly sure will eat up a lot of my free time for the next month. Would love to see a Twitter desktop integration so I can play it there as well.

@blader Would love an invite code. :-)

@nivo0o0 happen to have a code? Interested in giving this a spin but can't currently get in :(

@ohitsmerenz by the way, where did the website go? I could've sworn I visited that. @nivo0o0

@ohitsmerenz @blader was the founder of FFS 😄. This is his stab at a modern, mobile version of it.

@alexyoungkwon @ohitsmerenz really? Didnt know that.

@ohitsmerenz @blader I actually reviewed FFS on my Facereviews blog back in the earliest days of Platform

@rrhoover The marketing team is doing great!

@blader Looking forward to it. :)

@blader @akshaybharwani Great to hear. Looking forward to it.

@blader @akshaybharwani I'm curious, but I'll have to wait for the Android version to try it out. It sounds fun, and I wonder if it draws on the fascination that me as a kid and a bunch of friends had on collecting soccer trading 'cards' [in our case they were stickers] that then were used to build a neat and complete booklet [hence the 'sticker feature'].

@akshaybharwani If you need a beta tester on the Android side...

@jayinpa @akshaybharwani @blader Well, it looks like we'll get that Android version soon enough then http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/23...

@chrismessina - Initially I thought the same exact thing, especially when this type of game was launched on another social platform, Tagged.com, years ago. It's surprisingly pretty successful (Note I worked at Tagged years before this game was launched so I have no insider info, this is based purely on watching the products placement & engagement on my own account). Considering that Stolen's CEO, Siqi Chen, has Zynga in his experience portfolio, I think they've got a decent shot at making something out of this; probably not used by mainstream techies -- but there are markets for this that are willing to pay real cash for virtual coin.

@yoavanaki there's an element of price decay, so somebody who is currently valued in the millions will eventually decay to a more reasonable amount.

@yoavanaki I find it most fun to find a "target", usually a friend whose behavior I can predict, and start messing with them for a bit 😁 Say, I know they want to keep somebody in their collection, so I will try and steal them from that friend as often as possible😈

@saniul @yoavanaki i would suggest adding rewards. Incentivize a la swarm/foursquare.

@ohitsmerenz @yoavanaki Wonder if there are any implications from them making a profit off of celebrities likeness.....

@saniul @yoavanaki Also noteworthy, games free online poker, also need to invest in building sinks into the games economy. For example, Zynga poker has a hand helper that shows you the % likelihood you'll win a hand given publicly available card data. You only pay a small fee if you win the hand. This helps to reduce inflation. Smartly, Stolen! already had a few sinks like comments and nicknames. They could start making the nickname prices dynamic based on the cost of the person being nicknamed; high value users require more sinked coin to create a nickname. This wouldn't directly make the cost of celebrities go down, but indirectly it reduces the wallet of people who invest in them.

@saniul @wwr228 L3Z17C is used up

@saniul @wwr228 would love to try too

@blader Thanks for specifying the reasons. Do you still foresee having a website as well as the app?

@blader @inorganik agreed. I think the app interface for the very quick interactions is sharp
