Re: The Difference Between Red Herring Clues And Official Game Hints
The best prank that I ever saw, I think was before 2000. Dr. Joe Johnson of Chief Delphi made a post in the Rumor Mill in which he stated that he had received an e-mail that was intended to go to FIRST but instead ended up going to him. He then went on to show the contents of the letter in which it explained the game in pretty heavy detail. The amazing thing is that there was such chaos/outrage over the post, that tons of people were calling up FIRST HQ complaining. From what I heard, they had no idea it was coming, and Dr. Joe had to eventually go on the boards to apologize and explain to everyone that it was just a hoax to try to get people thinking. Its actually very possible that this was the very first hoax in FIRST history.
