although it would work some of the time, it would cause problems if someone crashed (aka no onunload events would be triggered), if there wasnt also a time out system in place as well "/

If you just update the table every 5 seconds via Javascript -> php -> mysql then if the users timestamp is older than lets say 15 seconds they are out of the game.
lol, ok this is kind of random post but just had to think of it :p
Well i'm from belgium as some of you may know already and at dinner we were watching the news, and it had a headline about Poker becoming a real dangerous hype, that many younger teenagers are starting to play Poker for actual money which is against the law in Belgium, as only casino's are allowed to do poker competitions once a year. And they went on about the new hype of online pokering and that young teenages are faster attracted to the game these days as it's easy to learn, and they "start" with just playing with their friends for a few euro's but the more they do it the higher the bids become.
Anyway looking at this topic's name just made me think of it :p
I woulnd't mind playing a game of Poker, for virtual (fake) money that is.
I wouldn't ever play for real money.
Anyway, good luck with this project to everyone who works on it ;)
Make it so you win credits on the site.
I don't know what the online money will be used for, but it will be free and legal.
