gg. this was fun! The psychology of bids throughout the game was very interesting and I'm still trying to figure out if there's some optimal strategy for the gem bidding at the end. I'll play again if there's another game.

I was doing all that math in my head but I didn't realize how nice it looked all plotted out like that. I got screwed at 16 because I wasn't expecting more than a 5 coin jump lol

I think the reason the early rounds stayed at pretty even rises was because it seemed like many people weren't noticing/anticipating/playing the 2 coin per round increase. I was doing as you say and staying a couple coins above that because I kept expecting everyone to notice the steady increase and adjust play as a result. That never really happened until about half way through as your data shows.

I think meta will come into play and next game the trend will be to accelerate the bids earlier. I wouldn't be surprised to see a faster rise at the beginning/mid game and then a leveling off at some point as the bids can't really keep increasing exponentially if anyone wants any coins left over at the end. Assuming there isn't a change to the end game gem bidding scenario that is.
