[Joke] 2010 Game Hint

[Katie_UPS]

Uncool.

[Mr. Pockets]

I was forewarned by my more observant comrades. I'm more disappointed with myself for missing this thread last time I came on. When the real game hint is revealed, I assure you that I will be the last to hear about it

Lies; you were not forewarned. Mark and I just laughed and eluded the "IS THERE A GAME HINT!?" question.

When I initially saw this thread I became excited, in expectation of the insanity soon to unfold on this forum with the arrival of the infamous game hints.
However, once I took note of the thread's actual content, I realized that...

Kudos... *claps slowly at Genius Greg* =:-|

But really, I am going to be soo surprised if FIRST doesn't give a hint next week, which should be the mark for half a month to the Kick-Off. The hint, as we all can see, take a significant role in our lives in FIRST. Without it, the game is nothing... The sense of being fooled into water games (insert link to previous discussion)....

When's the hint coming?

[ATannahill]

I suspect they sent it by snail mail to one team that is not on chief delphi or connected to any other team. Cruel much?

My suspicion is one of the following:

1. There is no hint.
2. Somebody complained about the hints being too distracting to students' as they try to finish their schoolwork, so they'll release it in the next few days now that they are sure everyone's done with school.
3. Somebody complained about the hints being too distracting to everyone's family plans in the holiday season, so they'll release it after the holidays are over.
4. It's already been posted publicly online and the GDC is shocked nobody's found it.
5. As rtfgnow suggested, they may have sent it to a small group of teams as a social communication experiment.
6. Instead of a hint with coordinates, as in 2008, the game hint is simply physically placed in a location of significance to the game. Nobody's figured it out yet.

I'm speculating about game hints instead of the game. Wow...

A learning experience. Or something positive like that.

It's very simple really. The hint is full of so much mind-boggling confusion that they had to use more wrapping paper which meant they needed more tape which meant that the ribbon was just short of long enough to tie into the perfect bow which meant they had to start over which meant that they are making elves look like they are moving in slow-motion. Simple.
