The Not So-Secret Secret End-Game

[waialua359]

I've been so busy (well, who isnt?) that I missed the 1/10 blog that confirms NO endgame!
Then I read further down about the story behind having 4 team alliances for eliminations at CMP.
I am glad Frank reads CD!!!!!!!

A Lavery--not going to guess which--with an airbrush... or maybe MissInformation up to some old tricks.

First isn't technically buying these- they're being rented. Saves cost all around, and the technicians at most district tournaments are experienced playing around with that exact stuff.

End part missed?



It seems very much.

Also, we’re just about ready to reveal that secret end game folks have been talking about (and we’ve been denying). Just kidding!

Parts are recalled?

Just a thought though...

If you really want to see a similar game, I would suggest looking up the 2008 game, Overdrive, as we (2987) found that it is quite similar to Aerial Assist. We have gotten some helpful tricks from game videos of Overdrive, as well as mixing our knowledge of Aerial Ascent last year.

Still not too late for FIRST to announce a secret end game!

Hear me, FIRST? IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

Maybe we should suggest some: land the ball on the truss - 50 pt bonus.

What's funny is that doesn't change the outcome of the match since its only game winning shots.

Last 10 seconds hot goals.

[dubiousSwain]

Make a goal or truss in the last 10 seconds and get an amount of points based on your team number.
