Oh yes. Real money. Max raised lots of money via his last book and by the end of today he's giving it away based on how many shares you have.

The goal is to get 1,000 shares. If you do, you're fine. If you don't, your nation will get deleted and you banned. I can help you out, just give me all that you got ASAP.

So that's 10,000$. I don;t believe this. What in game function do these "stocks" have. If they were real stock they would have some kind symbol on the dow or something.

Each share represents a single hair on your Manly Moustache of Manliness.

The more shares you've collected, the more follicles you've got and the more luxurious your luscious, gentlemanly, simply outstanding Moustache of Manliness will be.

For comparison, Max Barry currently has about the same level of Moustacheness as Theodore Roosevelt.

The real goal is to see if NationStates can come together and elect a leader. To that end, we must support Lyanna Stark in her fight to overthrow Max's tyrannical regime. Only under her rule shall we be free and prosperous once again.

It'd be hilarious. If you gave all your shares away thinking it was a joke, but the joke was there actually was money tied to it.

You haven't been here long enough to remember the time before. It was a better place, where nations didn't live in fear of the Mods and all worked out their differences on their own. These Seven Kingdoms of NationStates were worth a thousand times more then than they are now, and Lyanna Stark will return their former glory!

Even if it's a joke, I'd like it if Max kept something similar in place afterwards as part of the game mechanics for a sort of in-game currency. Once I got my storefront up and running I was going to give the option of paying for your purchases with NS shares.

Good thing i have 11,000 shares! But in all seriousness the shares are probobly worthless. They are probobly only 1 cent a share or less.

I have nearly 25,000 shares thanks to an army of puppets, many of whom died years ago, being resurrected today only to give me their shares and disappear again...
