Very interesting concept! I'll be keeping an eye on this over the days ahead to see how big that pot grows...

This is interesting in terms of game theory. Every moment you wait increases your potential payoff exponentially, but people can take the pot from underneath you while you wait, leaving you with nothing. Would obviously be more interesting if there were a way to get real money involved. (Everyone pays in an equal amount at the start in to a fund which gets split among the players in he same ratio as the gold, maybe.)

That's really rather clever. On the other hand, that's really all there is to it. "oh that's clever", and then you close the tab.

Sure you could "play" it, but the fun really lies in the idea, at least for me, and not actually interacting with the game itself.

Cool idea! Very nice demonstration of risk vs. reward vs. patience, well done!

If you're in the lead then constant clicking locks down other players.

I love how simple this game is, but yet so much fun. It's kind of exciting waiting for the pot to grow

Interesting concept but you may need to do something along the way to keep people invested. Ether way an interesting idea for a social experiment.
