The potato people just sat on the ground not moving at all, is that expected? No more money. I guess the people need to move in to make rent money.

It should be fixed now. The world is getting populated, and you should start to see some rent income. (Although it's possible there's a bug with that too...

If I may make a suggestion, and I'm sure there are a TON of awesome things you could do with this framework, but... \r\rWell, let me guess first. It seems like money collection timer is done client-side? May I suggest making this server-side, so that people can collect (perhaps up to a specified maximum)coins at a reduced rate while they're not actively participating to spend when they are actively participating, and then increase that coin generation rate when players are actively participating? Thus creating incentive to be active participants, but allowing people to look forward to joining the play session. \r\rOr it may be set up something like that already and I just don't notice all good! \r\rSorry for spam, just excited to finally be able to play and enjoy the concept immensely."},{"author_name":"2HitAdam","author_uid":"15390","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 11:01am","epoch":1387536960,"text":"There isn't heaps to do but I'm impressed you managed to put this together in a weekend, looks nice too!"},{"author_name":"Thorig","author_uid":"14618","time":"Dec 28, 2013 @ 8:53am","epoch":1388220480,"text":"I tried to play your game, but I also gotten the pars errors."},{"author_name":"philhassey","author_uid":"2","time":"Dec 31, 2013 @ 5:11pm","epoch":1388509560,"text":"ERROR PARSING JSON ... :("}],"images":["ld28\/17861-53285bbe4e04ad14914ce76df834df00.jpg","ld28\/17861-a03ac77a4e9f43a60911b765e343bc41.jpg","ld28\/17861-481a2cf104901fc84a1a48fc83be9b48.jpg","ld28\/17861-8f75c4251ede540f47bb83cb574a11f9.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/deathraygames.com\/play-online\/LD28\/","text":"Web (HTML5)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Lukenickerson\/LD28","text":"Source (GitHub)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"22712","g_author":"17861","g_event":"LD28","g_eventkey":"20","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"22742","g_title":"Capitalis","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"676","g_commentcount":"23","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\/\/308734\/17861-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/17861-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/17861-shot2.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/17861-shot3.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"\"The World Only Gets One Capital City\"\r\nCapitalis is a envisioned as an MMO city-building game with both cooperative and competitive elements.
