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.
I saw the price on Polo and came to see what has happened to WOLF. I was around for the beginning, watched how the first Sunday went and bought in for the 2nd and 3rd Sunday's. I loved the game. How greedy could you get away with being? Everyone knew for every winner there was at least 1 loser. I staggered my coins to see what I could get away with and ended up both weeks I played. After week 3 I dumped what WOLF I had left for a very small profit and got out. After the game changed to be all day trading, it just wasn't the same game.
There was too much WOLF on the market while the buy back orders were the same every week. People were interested in less and less profit and if you didn't have time to be around all day, or for my sake even awake at the trading time it just wasn't worth it to try and make a small percentage. It took a calculated risk and it did test greediness of people, I wish there would have been limits on weekly buy orders and Insanity Sunday would have stayed the same throughout. I think the price would have been more steady and would have been interesting to see once you actually got through the Insanity Sunday periods. I do think there were too many changes along the way and reading up on the thread, the Dev can't disappear for large chunks of time in a project like this.
Anyways, for people still invested I hope this coin ends up doing something and you can recoup some of your losses.
