Sadly the first game was exploited by short term holders and had to be stopped
That is a little insulting.  Wasn't the whole point of this game to decide on a strategy, whether short term or long, and see who could make the most profit?  (1000% myself before dropping out due to predicting the price fall)

Personally I think the main problem was changing the schedule and game rules halfway through the game.  People became discouraged and pulled out, like me.

Apologies I didn't mean anything negative, to rephrase: a couple of short term traders with relatively large amounts of BTC outplayed both each other and the other holders to come out "on top", those who didn't come out on top and simply held or acquired pushed me personally toward stopping the game phase and trying to take different approaches.


It is OK.  It is just that everyone who played ended up playing fair, it is the nature of the game.  Wolf was set up to have a game-based mode of distribution so if they personally profited then good for them. 

Ideally the group would profit, but this did not happen. 

Part of the game was knowing there was a chance it could all crash, it was always a gamble.   

Let us try to point no fingers.

What we need to do is give this coin some 'utility'.   The original game based distribution was very fun.  Unfortunately we need utility outside of this because it is unsustainable.

IDEA:  Build another 'trading' based game where the buy-in is WOLF.

Example:  A game based website where users are 'stuck' on a deserted island with other survivors and need to trade with eachother to gather resources and survive.

- Each user can convert their 'WOLF' to various goods in order to 'survive'.
- The site contains various markets (bananas/water, wood/water/ ... etc)
- Each week a random game market would get 'pumped'.
- Users would have to figure out when pumps are happening.

Problem:  Would take a couple months to implement.
