You’ll never guess what Slovenia’s in fifth place in.

How did people waste their time before the Internet? Was it even possible? I suppose television and radio were around, but I’ve never seen a t.v. show that asked you to “tap on the glass of your screen a thousand times.”

This game does. The object of clickclickclick is to click on a yellowish-red box… forever. Or as close to forever as you can imagine. Some people have already come very close, because Slovenia is currently fifth out of 216 countries. Japan is currently in first. (I’d be surprised if it wasn’t) while Chile (??) and Poland are currently the other two medal holders.

Slovenia is a mere 250 million clicks from first place. Nothing that couldn’t be accomplished in an idle afternoon.

    but you have to confirm every time that you’re human? and we’re fifth? omg, people should start to work in their job-time :D

    I think they’d be doing more good clicking the Feed a Child button (on the right) on:

    AzzQim et all: there are ways of bypassing the anti-bot protection. So, either people in Slovenia really have too much time, or they are just net-savvy. Take your pick.

    Looking at the old results (from an older game, I guess?) I’m surprised some of those countries even have stats listed. I mean: the Falkland Islands has a population of something around 3000, and they have 4896 clicks… but then again, what else is there to do when you’re that isolated.

    Interesting.

    Not fair - it’s clear that Serbian diaspora clicks are going directly into Germany/USA/Canada/Croatia/Slovenia/Switzerland/Austria/Sweden scores. Otherwise the second place would be ours long time ago (Japan excluded, it’s mission impossible).

    Well, Viktor, you win some - Eurovision Song Contest, for example - and you lose some - clickclickclick, for example :)

    This is just NUTS! I’m glad though that Slovenians have excelled! Zivi Slovenija!
