*GASP!* No game hint. Nothing to think about over Christmas. No reason to overdose before build season! :eek: :yikes:
That might be nice for a change...:D :rolleyes:

Dear GDC,
Please disregard this statement. There are some of us who would enjoy the challenge and excitement of a game hint this year. Andrew should speak for himself :P

This year, alliance robots must communicate with each other using Morse code.

If you want a game hint, just start posting random Monty Python quotes. Dave could never resist commenting or adding to one. It is the perfect way to draw him out considering he has been too quite since Thanksgiving. :D
All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Easily the best quote in that movie.

"What...is your name?"
"I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard, of the U.S.S. Enterprise."
"What...is your quest?"
"I seek the Holy Grail."
"What is the velocity of a Bird of Prey?"
"Do you mean a Romulan Bird of Prey, or a Klingon Bird of Prey?"
"Hmm? I don't know tha--whaaaaaaaa!"
(It's a lot funnier in the original Klingon. Seriously.)

Mr. Ken Andrews, of Leighton Road, Slough has concealed himself extremely well. He could be almost anywhere. He could be behind the wall, inside the water barrel, beneath a pile of leaves, up in the tree, squatting down behind the car, concealed in a hollow, or crouched behind any one of a hundred bushes. However, we happen to know -- he's in the water barrel.

If Mr. Lavery posts in this thread, whatever he types should instantly be discounted as a game hint.
reverse psychology, anyone?

After a quick search Dave has not posted in the last week. Could be a bit busy you think?:)
It is imperative in these tumultuous times to be completely prepared for any eventuality. For we have seen that those seeking hints will go to almost any lengths to obtain information. Up to, and including, assault with a piece of fresh fruit...
(Grumbles from all)
2nd Man: Oh, you promised you wouldn't do fruit this week.
Sergeant: What do you mean?
3rd Man: We've done fruit the last nine weeks.
Sergeant: What's wrong with fruit? You think you know it all, eh?
2nd Man: Can't we do something else?
3rd Man: Like someone who attacks you with a pointed stick?
Sergeant: Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...

Mr Lavery, has the game animation driven you insane or is it that the game scoring is that confusing? I understand you didn't have very far to go before you were classified as insane (nor do many of us) but if the 2010 game is that bad I think I should be scared.

I've got it. Kickoff is six days later this year than last year. The square of six is 36. The first official information about the game will be given out 36 days later than last year. The fish hint was released on Dec. 4th. Dec. 4th plus 36 days equals ....... JANUARY 9TH! There will be no hint this year! /wishful thinking

All: We done the passion fruit.
Sgt.: What?
Chapman: We done the passion fruit.
Palin: We done oranges, apples, grapefruit...
Jones: Whole and segments.
Palin: Pomegranates, greengages...
Chapman: Grapes, passion fruit...
Palin: Lemons...
Jones: Plums...
Chapman: Mangoes in syrup...
Sgt.: How about cherries?
All: We did them.
Sgt.: Red *and* black?
All: Yes!
Sgt.: All right, bananas.
(All sigh.)
Sgt.: We haven't done them, have we? Right. Bananas. How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. Now you, come at me with this banana. Catch! Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless.
Palin: Suppose he's got a bunch.
Sgt.: Shut up.
Idle: Suppose he's got a pointed stick.
Sgt.: Shut up. Right now you, Mr Apricot.
Chapman: 'Arrison.
Sgt.: Sorry, Mr. 'Arrison. Come at me with that banana. Hold it like that,
that's it. Now attack me with it. Come on! Come on! Come at me!
Come at me then! (Shoots him.)

(Two people seated opposite each other at a desk. Between them there is a large window. It appears that they are quite high up in a large office building. Every so often a body falls past the window. They are both working busily. After a pause a body drops past the window. First Man talks. Second Man hasn't noticed.)
First Man: (Eric Idle) Hey, did you see that?
Second Man: (John Cleese) Uhm?
First Man: Did you see somebody go past the window?
Second Man: What?
First Man: Somebody just went past the window. That way. (indicates down)
Second Man: (flatly) Oh. Oh.
(Second Man returns to his work. First Man looks for a little. As he starts to work again another body goes hurtling past the window.)
First Man: Another one.
Second Man: Huh?
First Man: Another one just went past downwards.
Second Man: What?
First Man: Two people have just fallen out of that window to their almost certain death.
Second Man: Fine, fine, fine.
First Man: Look! Two people (another falls) three people have just fallen past that window.
Second Man: Must be a board meeting.
First Man: Oh yeah. (another falls past) Hey. That was Wilkins of finance.
Second Man: Oh, no, that was Robertson.
First Man: Wilkins.
Second Man: Robertson.
First Man: Wilkins.
Second Man: Robertson.
(Another falls.)
First Man: That was Wilkins.
Second Man: That was Wilkins. He was a good, good, er, golfer, Wilkins.
First Man: Very good golfer. Very good golfer. Rotten at finance. It'll be Parkinson next.
Second Man: Bet you it won't.
First Man: How much.
Second Man: What?
First Man: How much do you bet it won't? Fiver?
Second Man: All right.
First Man: Done.
Second Man: You're on.
First Man: Fine. (shakes; they look at the window) Come on Parky.
Second Man: Don't do it Parky.
First Man: Come on Parky. Jump Parky. Jump.
Second Man: Come on now be sensible Parky.
(Cut to letter.)
Voice Over (Graham Chapman): Dear Sir, I am writing to complain about that sketch about people failing out of a high building. I have worked all my life in such a building and have never once.... [arrgghhh] [splat]
(Cut to film of man falling out of window. Cut back to set. First Man has hands in the air jubilantly.)
First Man: Parkinson! Second Man: Johnson!

The Teams start out in an alliance of three. Some time during the end game, you disband from your alliance and are able to reform with other teams to create a new alliance. You "unfriend" your starting alliance. Probably by hitting them with some fruit. Have we done bananas yet? How will we defend ourselves?

Actually, Dave was probably just unfriending that poster because he does not like Monty Python.
