Re: Game Hint #1

This has been a beautiful hint. Just beautiful.

Has there ever been a hint given with built-in Gracious Professionalism as part of its traditions/history?

Quote:
In Hawaii, the opah has historically been an incidental catch of longline gear. Only recently has this species become commercially important. The opah was viewed as a good luck fish by old-time longline fishermen, who would give it away as a gesture of goodwill rather than sell it.
The reference that was made to the Zen game equivalent of Rock, Paper, Scissors by DeepWater is another beauty, even if it doesn't amount to anything. It is a neat link to look at and think about.

Now the stamp in Madeira find that Michael just showed us. It's just all so cool.

Great hint, GDC and FIRST!

I think there were some great guesses at the hints in the past 3 years that I can remember. Some nailed the hints, some circled them and got 'this close'. That's what makes it fun when the game is revealed. But, the GP aspect of this one blows me out of the water. And, speaking of water - we are playing a water game, if you think about it - guessing the meaning of this fish.
