You succeeded in thinking outside the box.\r\rThe downside, that made me not play your game (and, for the sake of honesty, don't rate it) is cause, in practical ways, it's a flood game. RTing these posts may annoy my followers.\r\rBut the idea is good. \rMaybe this could become an Facebook game, with private transactions (when I say "private" I mean "transactions not being thrown as timeline status or notifications")."},{"author_name":"kmakai","author_uid":"28426","time":"Jan 1, 2016 @ 3:19pm","epoch":1451661240,"text":"I think this is a really awesome idea. It would be cool to take it a little farther (and might remedy the RT problem previous comments mentioned) by allowing replies to count as buy\/sell commands -- if you wanted to keep it strictly to two commands you could still just have either "BUY" or "SELL" be recognized, or you could allow amounts to be included. At that point you could start including things like tweeting at the bot to get your status, etc. I was really excited to see this kind of outside-the-box entry, so congrats on that!"}],"images":["ld34\/10884-fabc2ec9870ae55c1593d1a6f7018088.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/twitter.com\/bartergame","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"7399","g_author":"10884","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"7431","g_title":"Barter: the Game","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"5","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/10884-shot0-1450072074.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"I made a Twitter game for the compo, but I didn't have time to start on it between the hours. 5 hours to build to vision.\r\n\r\nCheck it out at @bartergame.
