I've been secretly hoping someone would ask "Chute door?" again this year, and for the GDC to respond "No chute door."

However, I don't want this to happen strongly enough to waste the GDC's time on it.

Re: Humorous wit from the GDC

You saw what happened when someone asked the GDC what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow was, right?



(For anybody who's seen that movie, their response was as expected.)

The real question is "does an unladen swallow used as a message delivery device (aka carrier pigeon) count as unpowered?"

I don't think a carrier pigeon is unladen.

Re: Humorous wit from the GDC

Couldn't just about anything that the spy brings next to the field be a "signalling/pointing device"? I'd put good money on at least one team bringing something (not necessarily used as a pointing device) outside the box and having it provide a competitive advantage. Maybe a 6 foot wide mirror to 'signal' to the driveteam so they can see if there are any boulders hiding on the far side of the defenses, similar to 1986's mirror in 2010?

Re: Humorous wit from the GDC

This makes me think of those medieval lego kits where the minifigures are holding apples, chicken legs, and baguettes in their market.

Re: Humorous wit from the GDC

I am just waiting for a human player to have a different food item in the box each match. I also want to see him/her devour whatever it is by the end of the match. "Quick! He's almost finished that apple! Scale the tower, scale the tower!"

Well, you don't have to be the one wasting their time; someone else beat you to it. Take a look at this year's Chute Door: Sally Port. We shall see if the results are similar to last year's.

I wonder if that's intentional or not. Things like "chute door" are only funny because they weren't forced and I feel like the chute door meme is being forced now.

I'm not surprised it happened, but I'm also not really a fan of it. It was funny once, but it's an old joke now. Time to move on.
