Laughs go in the Rumor Mill where this now is. Official FIRST communications go in the Blasts Archive. Would it be funny if someone posted a fake Blast that told teams ship date had been pushed back two days? Honestly, blatantly misusing forums should be bannable, but there are nicer people than I in charge here.

Re: FRC Game Hint #4?

I dunno, I think it had potential to be a decent joke. Some lessons on execution from the masters of Chief Delphi pranks, John "Check out Andy's Ipod" V-Neun, Joe "Oops, I found out the game early" Johnson, and the creator of probably the most successful CD prank ever, Joe "Nationals Canceled?" Ross would probably have made it both funnier and more realistic.

EDIT:
Kevin, while I agree that it would have been better to put this in the rumor mill originally, I don't think that comparison is fair; kickoff is in a couple of hours and this is a false game hint. A fake ship date is a completely different thing.

Re: FRC Game Hint #4?

I'm seeing a trend, all the old mentors are saying how horrible this is, and it doesn't follow GP, blah blah.

All my fellow GP students think its a good laugh.. Is there a student only section? parents these days, the internet, technology.. oh wrong generation sorry.

It's the night before kick-off, and seeing that we all will prolly be facing a whole day of brainstorming followed by ~6 weeks of intense work: this joke was certainly well appreciated... at least by me.

Well done!

-Joe

ps: don't do it again for another x years. 'x' can be any number... choose wisely.

Re: FRC Game Hint #4?

If someone on our team were to do this, they would probably get removed for anti-GP behavior.

i am very disappointed.
