Yes indeed.

Ah well, I guess we all go through that phase...

Re: 2014 Game Hint 1

I laughed the first time you did this...
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=hint

But I didn't come anywhere near laughing this time. Twice from the same person is excessive. You are not trying to be funny any more, you are solely trying to waste people's time and apparently taking pleasure in it.

Re: 2014 Game Hint 1

I find it amusing how worked up people can get over silly game hint jokes.

Nice try OP, but they're more enjoyable when your thread is something like this:

I'm really not sure what to make of this.

Why call it game hint 2? And what do the little red boxes represent?

I have a couple of comments.

First, someone check to make sure Dragonking isn't Greg Needel. (For you newbies, on multiple occasions, Greg pulled the old "Made ya look!" routine.)

Second, one year caroling for hints seemed to work. I suggest sending 1114--all of them--to NH to sing to them until a hint is released. (The best way to beat them is to include singing well as part of the game... let's just leave it at that.)

Third...

Don't you all have homework or studying for finals or Christmas shopping or work to do? You only have a month until Kickoff. Go! Get outside! Get off my lawn! Enjoy the outdoors before Kickoff! Stop waiting for the hints! [/geezer]

Well, if there was a thread I felt was not funny and I wanted to kill it, then I would not comment on it since that keeps the thread alive. At least that is what I would do if I came upon such a thread.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

I don't know about that, but you can never count out the IR blaster as a hint

"Who's on FIRST"

Dr. Who reference. The old baseball comedy routine. Use wiffle balls to hit strike zones. Enough said.

Or it could always be a water game. I've heard that gunnite manufacturers were ramping up production..... during the winter.
