This number shows the number of players online, not the number of players actively on the table.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=312764.0When you got caught lying in the previous IPO you decided to manually increased the players online number with +200 instead of answering the questions. It literately went from around 10-20 online players to over 200 instantaneous.
The first answer in the new IPO is a lie, what a great start. I'm sure these stocks will fly off the shelves.
