Developers Q&A FAQ
Last year in April, we had a Q&A by the developers where they answered sith ton of questions that are still repeated in the forums, and elsewhere. So I decided to compile all the useful answers we had...

Dr_Alan_Grant: Is there any thought about having a players highest rank throughout the day count for their payout?

The answer is no. This sort of system ultimately doesn't reward the play pattern we believe drives competition, which is players should battle for the top spot at a specific payout time. This also likely facilitates collusion behavior that we think is detrimental to the game.
And yet collusion behavior is EXACTLY the outcome we have from NOT having this system. I believe they way overestimate the collusion that would take place with the suggested change, and that it would certainly be less than that in the top 10 or 20 with the agressive arena mafias we currently have.
