It has nothing to do with repeating the same thing fact and over again.
Thoughts?
for example:
That kid who keeps saying that herding is a winning strategy in Overdrive over and over again even though your team had decided it isn't is "beating a dead horse."

Perhaps maybe groundhogging? Reading the exact same posts everyday do to the repeating of previous posts.

This is the downfall of having only 1 official hint. Come on hint 2. We still have 5 days to get that post up to 700+. Or maybe we should just get this thread up to 1000+ just for fun.
