But if you (probably rightly) suspect that your friends have stopped paying attention to your graph, then it's easy to fall off the wagon.

Have a sidebar with "today's LOSERS"

Instead of money, have users give a list of email contacts. If the user fails, all of the contacts get spammed with a failure message written by the user when he starts (the contacts don't get spammed when the user starts or succeeds, so he can keep the list big).
