Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

OK, so here is how this works.
Reply with...

1. Date and time at which you think game hint # 2 will come out.
2. What you think the new hint will be. (format (picture, poem, text etc), content (what is in the picture/text))

I will declare a winner upon clue disclosure from F.I.R.S.T.


Here is my Prediction

1. Saturday December 13, 2008 : 10 Pm
2. Picture, Different Fish

2. Dave Lavery Interpretive Dance triggered by extreme emotional stress over trying to finish the game animation. Fish Ballet.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

I guess Saturday January 4th, about 8:30AM. It will come in many forms, the two major ones will be a webcast and a manual.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Of what year?

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Predictions for the game hint? Wait... seriously? Were really doing this?

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

1. Never
2. Nothing

No more game hints.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

I think last year they just ran with it because they wanted to give a real game hint as well as shipping out all of the IR boards. Then they tacked on another hint to make an even 3. So I'll go with:

1) Mid-morning January 3rd,
2) A series of public events.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

why would the game hint #2 come out after the kick off?

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Dean did mention Overdrive in his speech this year, that may be repeated this year.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

We're speculating about a game hint that hasn't even been released yet. Now that's just sad. -_-

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

"What, behind the rabbit?"
"No. It is the rabbit."

Any questions?

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Well, that's no ordinary rabbit!
That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

No, it's just a fish. doesn't mean anything, move along.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

They won't give out more hints until the competitons. They are introducing a surprise factor to see how well we really are a designing! The hint? A flamethrower!

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

December 25th.
a live goldfish mailed to every team.

An inverted picture of a scene from The Chronicles of Narnia

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Ok fine, if we are doing this anyways I'll put in my two cents.

Dunno when, but the next game clue will be a detailed description of both the game and field, and also several possible designs for robots to effectively compete in the game.

Everyone will still rip it to shreds to find the hidden meaning.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

DEC 12, 2008. Around 11:00 AM PST

Some text or a picture of plate

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Remember the end of the Rack 'n Roll kickoff? Where it showed Dean and Woodie floating on a suspiciously waterlike surface using the Ringers like innertubes, as they denied any possibility of hints?

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Dec 24th 11:59pm EST 2008

another fish with a santa hat on and a small out of focus blob in the lower left-hand corner...

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

December 18th. 4pm.
A box of corn flake crumbs.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

based on last year we will either get hint #2 6 day's after the first one. (12/11/08) or on the 21st of dec. I'm betting on the 11th personally, but it might be as late as the 21st.

I think it will be a closeup image of something used on the field. In the game with the rings it was a close up image of the rack and a ring.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Time: 6a EST
Date: 12/14/2008
Hint: The triangle-square-circle FIRST logo, made entirely of dial calipers and protractors.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

I think CD is more obsessed with hints then they are of the actual game.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

By predicting the next hint (if there is one) in a public forum, does one not create a bias as to when the next hint will be released??? :ahh:

But then again... the GDC is way too smart to be fooled by that one, aren't they? :cool:

None-the-less, my guess:

Hint 2: A poem, limerick, rhyme, & or just a random grouping of words, not so much a "famous" quote, but one that will become infamous by the time the new game rolls around within the FIRST community.

Date: 12/19/2008
(We got a hint on the first quarter phase of the moon (12/5), why not the last?)

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

Someone guessed my guesses. Guess i'll be more specific.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

1. New Year's Eve, 11:59 P.M.
2. Another fish.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

honestly there was 4
ir board
random numbers
hurtle tetra....
and when dean camen gave his speech he said "overdrive"

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

5 if you want to count the ever lasting constant in all this craziness... The image they show behind the Suppliers when they announce them at Kickoff.

Take a look at Kickoff vids of years gone by. You'll see what I mean. (I even posted my own riddle about that myself a few years back when I noticed that subtle fact)
I was at Kickoff in NH this year (2008), & was thrown for a loop seeing the engine in the background. No clue what that referenced.
It was pretty nice, & better than floating spheres which would have been the all too obvious choice.

A shark. (look in the background of the first hint. There's a silhouette of a shark)

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIRST HINT.

(Seeing as how everyone is so obsessed with the words that were on the other side of the page)

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction

Text form. Three lines, very cryptic.(Ex. Five bots tangling in pasta)

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

im thinking the next hint will be about what we are playing on... ICE.

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

that makes me feel so much better

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction

Some false lead thought up on CD (IE a picture of the moon)

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

I absolutely LOVE how we just got the first hint and we are already talking about hint 2!!!!! :P

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

I think that the next clue will,
1) come out on 1/2/09 at 4 am EST
2) it will include every wrong guess suggested on CD with the words "your wrong" scrambled up in the background

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

1. sometime after Christmas, but before the kickoff...
2. a robot that looks like a fish...why? because its a really fishy clue...
:confused:

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
 

1. - December 10 at 9 pm - (when i check the forums last)
2. - picture of air misinterpreted as the background :)
