I still don't get the point of that kind of games.
It's more of a race to get the jackpot. The early entries pay into the jackpot and if there is enough people participating they get their entry refunded. The late entries make it so the early entries are less likely to have a net loss, while taking a chance and trying to be the last bidder.
It doesn't have much incentive unless the jackpot is high enough, which is why there's a bounty address.
It's not really a ponzi scheme but more of a lottery race.
It's something to experiment with and stuff. The way it works would let me make the game, and then make a deposit into the bounty, which I can only hope there's enough participants that I get refunded at least that and my initial deposit. The %s are setup so that 50% of each submission goes into the pot, allowing rapid bid endings to secure earlier bids, while the prize people want is the jackpot.
I don't plan on trying to get the jackpot myself, so with the 2% extra fee on it, I would need 35-40 participants to break even if I include a bonus 0.1btc through bounty.
Although this style of game might be better suited to a non-poniz based system where people just submit btc for tickets. and there are no returns but 98% of the btc goes towards the jackpot.

Knew it was too good to last... attack?
You said you were a bit... mmmhhh... let say 'happy' when you created the first one, didn't you? LOL
