Thanks Mr. Henry. I appreciate the compliment, as I'm sure the rest of the team does as well. We're just hoping ours is as successful as 469s was this past weekend.

One of the other mentors from my team last weekend was in the pits and said, "Yep, sounds like they're playing the macarena. Field must be down." :D

Just called Mr. Drake to tell him this update was a doozy!! I told him to call me back with his feedback...

Yea, this is a great example that speaks volumes. It says "We feel the change to the qualifiying points worked. 469 and robots like it are causing no foul. Everything is good. See you Week Three.

P.S. have fun tricking people."

Hold on ... if you look carefully, there are minor differences in the spacing between the dots on the page under "General Notices." I think it is Morris code. It looks like it says, ".-. --- -... --- - ... .-- .. .-.. .-.. ... .-- .. -- " which is translated, "ROBOTS WILL SWIM"

Looks like they are sending out a game hint for next year. A water game! Whoo hooo! ;)

Re: Team Update 17
 

I think people are reading too much into this.

It doesn't mean "The GDC is happy!" All it means is "The GDC doesn't feel it is appropriate to make any changes right now." These are very different things, imho.

For all I know, there are people very upset by how things are playing out, but these same people believe making any changes at this point would be a bad thing. (I would agree... changes now = very bad.)

No, I don't have any inside knowledge. I'm just frustrated by how much people are reading from so little.

I can't remember that last time an update had this many post in the first day. Ironic huh.

It is water now, it was 4 - 5 feet of snow during the build season, though! :p

Re: Team Update 17
 

Here many thought the game would be boring, including a boring thread after week 1.

Now some people are asking for an update to "lessen" the scoring based on certain ideas.

Are we now asking for updates every week to change the game rules?
Update 16 was the biggest game changer, maybe ever.

Re: Team Update 17
 

Let's get this thread up to 100 posts so all the 469 guys who haven't read the update yet will have heart attacks thinking it's a major re-do. :cool:

I saw 40+ posts and was like "ok what did they do now?"....:)
