That's a bad example because the entire game was designed to put a target on the back of people good at Flash games and it was advertised that way from the get-go.

Anyway, there are two different concepts here that are related but are ultimately not the same. First of all there's the mechanic of *hiding* the idol. Then separate from that is the mechanic of *grabbing* the idol. There's a lot of room to play with in both of those.
This is supposed to be Flash Mob, right? Not PD?
