 My goal as a mentor is to make myself irrelevant. Is that possible? Probably not. But this is one place I am willing to aim stupidly high. - Ian Curtis [more] |

Re: Ignoring Game Hints
John, this year I've joined the ranks of the grumpy old mentors who have seen too many of these game hints to get excited by them anymore. I think its easier this year to ignore them with the new control system to play with.
But its always good to see the younglings get excited about the game hints every year, but wake me up when someone actually figures out something useful... January will come soon enough, hopefully this will be the first year I don't loose any sleep before build season starts... I know I'll be loosing enough sleep once season starts trying to pull a rookie team through build season...

Re: Ignoring Game Hints
I almost in the middle. I don't care about the game hint one bit, yet I do. Now I know that a lot of people in this thread are the same, especially if you joke about the hint. DUH DUH DUUUUUUUUH!

 Just kidding. I've learned to ignore it now.On-topic, I can't keep away from the hints thread, even if I don't have a theory.

Re: Ignoring Game Hints
The pictures just don't inspire as much curiosity in me as the poems. The IR board might just qualify as The Best Hint Ever, though.

Re: Ignoring Game Hints
What we all have to realize (and fortunately, most of we mentors do) is that the game isn't for US, but for the students. The clues are part of the game. So it doesn't matter if we're getting bent out of shape over a JPG of a fish (I do hope not too many of us are), but we should let the kids do so. It won't hurt anyone, unless we're talking about losing sleep, it will only increase the anticipation for kick-off (as if that were needed, or even possible).
In any event, I don't think anyone will ever solve the any aspect of the game based on a clue (but if you do, CALL ME QUICK!)
