The problem with the tips from the dev etc is that they only work when everybody works together. That is never going to happen in a million years. Instead we all just put our sell orders lower and lower, that's human nature.
The only reason people made a decent profit in week 1 was because it had just started, low visability, some people didn't trust the dev or the game etc. Exactly the same as BTC.
Each week the average profit will go down and down.
Yes, but that is what I am saying. If one had read the this forum before this past Sunday, they could have seen comments explaining why the 2nd Sunday was naturally going to have more downward pressure on pricing than the first Sunday. So, even if one impulsively bought some WOLF from the developer without really thinking through the "game", there were many commenters on this thread who explained it thoroughly.
As far as the developer's tips go, you really only mention one aspect. But, yes, there is indeed a very good reason to band together to become a "whale". The advantages of doing something like that are obvious, although possibly exaggerated (depending on how the "game" unfolds). The fact that it hasn't occurred yet (as far as I know) is not really his fault.
Of course, you are right in that human nature makes some of that difficult and could torpedo even a wily whale's game plan, but it could still work, especially assuming that the day trader's numbers are just not that high at this moment. But, one could go on and on of various strategies regarding individuals as well as a pack of WOLVES (whale).
My whole point is that Sunday's results were generally telegraphed ahead of time by a few comments on this very forum. So that even someone that hadn't really given the "game" more than a cursory thought could have caught up on the current thinking by reading just two or three pages of this forum.
