IDK, 36 hours seems way too long, and I think 12 would be good, everyone gets two shots a day if they need it.

I think the active time might get proportionally longer. At the current time, people in the US might throw in a deposit before going to bed, and in Europe before going to work. So, when people get back home or wake up 8-10 hours later there's too little time left of the round for new deposits or reinvestment to have a chance of getting doubled. But, if you have a 36 hour round it will be a whole day left when people get back, so that might keep the round going for a another few hours.
Maybe two parallel 36 hour rounds could be something as well, which would make a new round start twice a day... and it could make things interesting in itself.
Edit: 36 hour rounds would mean every other day would would have two rounds starting, if they start with a 12 hour difference from the beginning. Unless my thinking is wrong again...
If it were every 36 hours, there would only be a new round every other day. Maybe two parallel 36 hour rounds could be something as well, which would make a new round start twice a day... and it could make things interesting in itself.

36 hours is too long, the game usually last within the first 3-5 hours and then it's just really slow.
I'll start thinking about a good odd time to let everyone play the game.

Would it be possible to move the entry time to make it slightly less rubbish for europeans? 
Well I was planing on doing a new game every 12 hours.you can keep the 12 hour game but please, 12pm EST is 5am WEST... guys like me in europe dont feel like waking up @ 5am...
edit: corrected PST to EST

How about a new round every 36 hours? It would give different starting times, and It might also keep each round fresh longer as more people wake up/get off work in various time zones.

What happened to the website? I put in 2 BTC.
June 20, 2011, 10:55:41 AM
Just recalculated my spreadsheet for this game to include the newer entries... still seems to be missing 2.8401 BTC.

I made a spreadsheet calculating your payouts:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag7eUBbWmtR4dERnSkUxdVRXbk5fWlRneFlwTVhaUVE&hl=en_US&authkey=CMm1j4YK
Still looks like some is missing, please let me know if I did any of the math wrong.
The pot shows how much there is to payback. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag7eUBbWmtR4dERnSkUxdVRXbk5fWlRneFlwTVhaUVE&hl=en_US&authkey=CMm1j4YK
Still looks like some is missing, please let me know if I did any of the math wrong.
The pot calculates 1% already taken out of the equation.
When I send people the money, I am re-calculating their price based on how much they put in instead of relying on the Bank.
The Bank allows me to know how much to split among the players who haven't gotten paid at the end of the game.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean....
Can you create a spreadsheet of your own in the style of mine? I am just failing to see where the 2.8401 (that I believe) should be in the pot is.
But, I'll be more then happy to make a spreadsheet.
Still interested in seeing a spreadsheet in my style with your calculations.
SSL
And the API code.
I'll get around to doing the spreadsheet sometime.
Implying it should take more than about 5 minutes to put in some numbers and your equations, I'd say 15 minutes max.

For those of you interested, a new version thats 1.25x just started while we wait for this one to reset
I like the idea; faster game.For those of you interested, a new version thats 1.25x just started while we wait for this one to reset
I'm defiantly not going to do anymore postponing.
Hell, after a few more days it may be just faster to do half-day games. (I will take some votes on this; latter).

idk if an extension was a good idea, it seems pretty dead
If there wasn't anytime downtime from today, I would agree.Yeah, the thing is the downtime started at like 5, which is when it was pretty much dead anyway. The people who want the reset already have money in, and the people who don't have money in aren't going to bid. It'd be a shame to essentially waste a whole round of bids, but if you want to honor the poll I understand.
I don't think there's going to be much more movement from this current point without a reset. just my opinion
A vote is a vote.
I probably should have just went on with the reset, but it was my idea to poll people; and the results were in.
Sounds good, its good to stand by what was stated
