I suspect something is being developed for huntercoin perhaps a Huntercoin 2 game, sequels in games are after all not unheard of

Have to admit if somebody wanted to buyback a load of HUC then making HUC look obsolete in favor of Chimaera was the way to go. I think most people dumped their HUC at a pumped up price.
I cannot otherwise explain the price rise. Somebody knows something I don't...
A lot of people buy up coins to corner the market and make money purely by trading.
Others, smarter, take a coin that has not breen adequately developed, buy some, then do it right.
Probably it is just somebody trying to make money in the short term, but a remote chance it is somebody who plans to invest a little in making the game more playable and getting more people to play. Have to wait and see.
add
Market cap is around $2,000,000. A major stake holder could invest in paying devs to streamline the coin for mass appeal and it would pay.
As for the conspiracy of using Chimaera as a way to corner HUC, that would seem to have been smart.
