That's the issue. kaus talked about why do things that won't rank well in six months. That doesn't even mean they WILL rank well for six months. The question here is spamming to have an effect, and the reasons to not do that are are even more than what kaus is suggesting.... if one of your pages gets penalized for spamming, this reflects on your whole domain. (The tactic of the more effective spammers is to make a long series of domains to use and then discard, since they know they will be caught eventually.)
What you are suggesting is different. For example, ranking first for "2008 World Series of Poker" is certainly something that would be good to do for six months. One way to do it is to make all your pages link to you 2008 WSOP page, but of course eventually you'll want to get rid of most of those links since in 2013 not many people will care about the 2008 event on a daily basis. But the point is you don't have to kill your domain for the longterm by spam/targeting a term for the short term.
