I believe that a few things contributed to me winning:
- It's very easy to find trades that are net beneficial for the traders.
Most people seem to agree that trading Stamps 1-for-1 is generally
reasonable and a good trade. Just have the same person do that enough times
with different people and they'll end up winning fairly unimpeded.
- The economy, in ideal conditions, produces enough 'raw materials' for two
people to win /every week/ (everyone sets their Dream to Wealth and then
two people are given one of each Stamp and use it to win with the 'pay many
different Stamps as active players' wincon). We're a good distance away
from those conditions, but we might need to throttle how much 'win raw
materials' is being pumped into us per week. The massive stockpiles of
Stamps are an issue too.
- Apathy. A lot of people didn't seem to be as engaged as I am with Stamps,
so I just didn't have to worry about certain things.
