[Joke] 2010 Game Hint
 
Good Morning Teams,

If you are interested in finding out about the new game then you must consider the text below......

23 Days until Kickoff
See you then




Haha made you look!:D


Just 23 More days!



If you looked at this thread post that you were caught so we can get more people.:yikes:

I think one day, Greg's game hint thread will get him the necessary "evilness" he needs to join the GDC.

I had done the exact same thing & wondered who could be so evil as to post a fake hint.

I suspect Greg has a nice big bullseye on him now. As if he didn't already have one.


Nice one Greg.

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint
 
For your reading pleasure. This isn't the first time that Greg has pulled this stunt. Maybe the first time for a [BB] but not a CD. He's a big tease. :)

I suspect that it takes more than evil trickery to be on the GDC.
*sigh* I'm not even sure why I said that. *sigh*

His mom is pretty good at that herself. Ask Greg what she did at the Tel Aviv Regional a while back!

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint
 
'Twas the calm before kickoff, in the whole CD house
The keyboards were silent. No one clicked their mouse.

The FIRST page was open and watched with great care
In hopes that the game hint soon would be there

The students with iPhones monitored threads
While visions of moon-fish danced in their heads

And I in my office working through year-end crunch
Had opened the browser while eating my lunch

When out on the home page there arose some new matter
I clicked on the subject to join in the chatter

Into the posting I tore like a flash
Hoping my browser would not crawl or crash

The words at the top of the newly shown page
Made me feel like a chump, but didn't enrage

BECAUSE IT WAS A FALSE ALARM!!

Oh, well. I'll keep watching and waiting...

Back in the day we made our own game hints. And now that I'm re-reading the thread, we didn't have regionals in Seattle or Manchester, either - completely forgot about that.

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint
 
Plagerism does not become you Greg. You are usually more gracious in your attempts to lead us down the garden path. I see a law suit coming your way you naughty boy.





BTW why do you have so much time on your hands?

Madison 17-12-2009 13:48

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint
 
You can tell it's fake because there have been only a handful of replies over several hours. A real hint would have escalated into the hundreds of replies by now.

Dave, I think if FIRST wanted to achieve its ultimate goal of ruining families it should hold onto that game hint for at least a week extra.

Dave posted in Greg's thread. This makes for very bad game hint karma. Very bad. Awful. As in, run - run far far away - awful.

And besides, it's probably another one of those .-...//--./.. things. Did I spell anything?:p

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint
 
Now since Dave posted that and we don't believe it, that only means it will be posted tomorrow, but since I said that, it will be postponed even more. OR with the cruelty of the GDC we might be able to expect it out today. [/crazy rant that ends with be being dragged to the nut house.]

This is probably a dumber thing to say, but has anyone looked to see if a game hint was posted anywhere?

Or some oceanfront property in Indiana.

Wait, I forgot - this is going to be true in a few years due to global warming and polar ice cap melting. Andy Baker is truly a visionary. I'm going to start buying up Indiana cornfields.

Lies; you were not forewarned. Mark and I just laughed and eluded the "IS THERE A GAME HINT!?" question.

When I initially saw this thread I became excited, in expectation of the insanity soon to unfold on this forum with the arrival of the infamous game hints.
However, once I took note of the thread's actual content, I realized that...

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint
 
Kudos... *claps slowly at Genius Greg* =:-|

But really, I am going to be soo surprised if FIRST doesn't give a hint next week, which should be the mark for half a month to the Kick-Off. The hint, as we all can see, take a significant role in our lives in FIRST. Without it, the game is nothing... The sense of being fooled into water games (insert link to previous discussion)....

My suspicion is one of the following:
  1. There is no hint.
  2. Somebody complained about the hints being too distracting to students' as they try to finish their schoolwork, so they'll release it in the next few days now that they are sure everyone's done with school.
  3. Somebody complained about the hints being too distracting to everyone's family plans in the holiday season, so they'll release it after the holidays are over.
  4. It's already been posted publicly online and the GDC is shocked nobody's found it.
  5. As rtfgnow suggested, they may have sent it to a small group of teams as a social communication experiment.
  6. Instead of a hint with coordinates, as in 2008, the game hint is simply physically placed in a location of significance to the game. Nobody's figured it out yet.
I'm speculating about game hints instead of the game. Wow...

A learning experience. Or something positive like that.

JaneYoung 23-12-2009 15:31

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint
 
It's very simple really. The hint is full of so much mind-boggling confusion that they had to use more wrapping paper which meant they needed more tape which meant that the ribbon was just short of long enough to tie into the perfect bow which meant they had to start over which meant that they are making elves look like they are moving in slow-motion. Simple.

But I look at it this way, robotics is a choice and a commitment that my teammates and I have chosen to make :)
