This coin will no doubt attract bots if it succeeds but at least it won't ever have ASICs. Question:

Why can't this coin support multiple games? Complex open source games never seem to take off, but having a variety of less ambitious games would be great. My computer is too slow to play this, but maybe I'd like to download an Android app and mine some coins. I'll get bored, though. Needs multiple games! Also, this would mitigate the botnet issue as it would be difficult to orchestrate your zombies to play a variety of different games, and also prevent clandestine bot developers from seizing too much of the nethash. Think of it like the Myriad coin of Proof of Play.

Also, heard of Arimaa? It is a board game designed so that a toddler could learn to play but the best human players always beat the bots. There is a $10,000 prize every year for a bot that can beat the world champions in a tournament, and they never win.
