Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

Why are you all so intent on trying to guess the game now? Won't it be so much easier to guess after they release that manual about the game on the 7th? The manual is such an obvious hint, I really don't see why they don't keep the manual to themselves and let us listen to the wonderful and exciting speeches and actually force us to think to figure out the game?
But I guess that after the week one competitions, everyone would know for sure and then it would be no fun...

The manual that was released is heavily encrypted, and nobody can actually read its contents. It's just released to alleviate the loads on FIRST servers this Saturday. FIRST will tell us the decryption password during kickoff (after the speeches). But the early release of the encrypted manual won't tell us anything about the game.

But it will after the 7th, which is what I was saying in my post.

Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

We could probably make a meme out of this kind of hint analysis. Don't tell SuperNerd!

I just about died when I saw that Bill's long awaited post was NOT a second hint.

What's worse is when he linked to the post on his Facebook (where I first saw it) he said "Did you miss me? I'm back.". That really got my hopes up we had a second hint, but alas...

New FIRST meme: Trolling Dave. Quick, someone get a picture cutout of Dave and put it against a striped background! And then add an awesome caption!

Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

Well it'll be here any day now. The kickoff is this Saturday, and last year's second clue was released just days before the kickoff, so there probably just is no lack of a clue as a clue. Any day now...

Day?! You have no idea when the game hint ninjas will strike! They are fast, sneaky little things that post a hint when you are least expecting it! Days? It could be hours, minutes, seconds even! It could have been posted while you're reading this! Constant alert. Keep all eyes on Bill's Blog, email blasts, the FIRST website, and ANYTHING else possible. Kick off is less than 4 days away.
