The Biggest Fish - cooperative gambling game!

[Fray]

Many this can get more traffic by doing a faucet type thing.  Can let people make minnows or guppies for small price(say 0.002) and only 1 per IP address that can bite fishes once or twice per day for a chance at tiny  amount of BTC(.0005 or whatever), but can't get eaten- and the drawback would be they don't have names or links.  Not sure if that can work w/ your software or not.  Maybe more traffic for adertisers.  Game is interesting, nice job.

Other visual and possibly small monetary events would be cool, like fish food falling that a random nearby fish eats. Or (maybe not feasible at all) people have to race to click the food to eat it.

I <3 it, fab game, maybe a bit more graphics when the bites/fights are on would work well, churning water & blood splatterings etc

I would totally buy this game and use 0 conf. PM an offer if there is any chance.

Aye, I wish there are some monetary events. There is an octopus in the new version (http://78.47.168.188/). I don't know what it's for though.

Waiting on the confirms killed this for me, I am to impatient.

Maybe add a wallet feature, so I can send a large transaction to a wallet, then instantly fund my fish with little transactions as I wish to play.

I do not want a 10 BTC fish.
I would probably play a .5 fish 20 times tho... however not if I need to wait for a confirm cycle between every .5 play.

Good idea! This would solve the issue with waiting for a confirmation.

Ah thanks, I assumed you were the owner and hired tech help. So that email is the owner and tech and you are PR?

Armory generated a new address for my fish, it came back: 1CARPmrVm4aFum4WSTnGUkWTz6eenrNDT5

Coincidence?

[darkmule]

Does choosing an "ally" fish as a referrer confer any advantage at all to the person doing it?  If not, why do it?

Yes, it's just coincidence.

The only real advantage I see is to help ur friend to grow.

I've got a good description of The Biggest Fish gameplay - http://polimedia.us/trilema/2012/the-biggest-fish-revisited/

Dissalow two consecutive attacks of the same fish (possibly also add an attack delay).

...is a good idea, coz yesterday I was trying to withdraw my winnings but someone had eaten me right before I hit [Withdraw] button

Unfortunately, new server is off to resolve issue related to acceptance of payments. I'll post here when it's on.

EDIT #1: We are still waiting for a reply from support. Server is on but deposits are disabled.

EDIT #2: Deposits are enabled now.

From the blog:

If I lose… no big deal, attack again. If I lose I attack again. If I die I just put more money in. Eventually I win, and once that happens I wipe the other person and count my profit.

What about such a situation:
Alice has 100 BTC, Bob has 100 BTC.
Alice bites Bob and loses => Bob has 150 BTC, Alice has 50 BTC.
Alice deposits 100 BTC => Bob has 150, Alice has 150.
Alice bites Bob and loses again => Bob has 225 BTC, Alice has 75 BTC.
Now, even if Alice wins next time, she will get back only 112.5 BTC, but she already lost 125 BTC.

The point is that the odds to lose is higher than to win. Am I right?
