Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

Keeping in mind that there is a good chance we are all way, way off, here's my 2 pennies.

It seems to me that all interpretations point towards three. Three teams, two alliances of three teams each, three alliances of two teams each. Bottom line is this:
I think we can expect to see a new team format, even though I doubt we will go without alliances.

The more I hear about three--and the hexagonal connection of amethyst--the more I think we're going away from the field that has been in play the last two years. I've not been with FIRST for longer than that time, but it would not surprise me if we went to a triangular, hexagonal, or--and I don't think I've seen anyone else mention this, which is surprising, given the amount of baseball stuff gloating around--a diamond. A diamond, after all, can be comprised of two triangular shapes, which would hint back to two teams again.

The field will not be circular, it is safe to say, because
A) Where do you put the teams?
B) It would be very, very difficult for a team to recreate such a field.

Point B should be taken into account by everyone who is saying BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GIANT PLEXIGLASS THINGY!. Remember: these fields are, traditionally, buildable to one degree or another.

I like the point of whoever said Pi as a symbol for a bridge. But I wonder, if we're going that far, why not look at the shapes of you and me as well? Will it be between those three? So, perhaps, a ditch?

I'd love to see baseballs being involved in the human player element, but I agree with whoever it was that said baseballs are too dangerous for this environment. As an ex-player and current aficionado, I agree sadly and totally.
