Two part issue here; how fast can the contestmaster turn things around versus player speed. One possibility is a fastplay action: "when all contestants enter or 1 week" but with a penalty to the last person to play. > This game sounds fun in general. Wonder if we can make a good gui. I have a gui in a non-web language; never got up to speed on web-based guis with events graphics (avoided java like plague my whole life) but it's pretty trivial... maybe I'll look for a trivial java standard life implementation and tweak. -G.
