If only 1 person has entered a round and the round is ended, that person would just receive their money back.

That said, it's not explicitly necessary that anyone be able to end a round. I could have constrained it to only the players in the round, but I thought this was also an interesting twist.

The project is still very much in it's infancy though, so I'm definitely open to ideas (including the name :D).

Only because I was just reading the Wikipedia page before I posted this :)

  It looks like Plan 9 failed simply because it fell short of being a compelling enough improvement on Unix to displace its ancestor. Compared to Plan 9, Unix creaks and clanks and has obvious rust spots, but it gets the job done well enough to hold its position. There is a lesson here for ambitious system architects: the most dangerous enemy of a better solution is an existing codebase that is just good enough.
