Re: Team Update 17

Let's get this thread up to 100 posts so all the 469 guys who haven't read the update yet will have heart attacks thinking it's a major re-do.

I saw 40+ posts and was like "ok what did they do now?"....

Re: Team Update 17

Oh, but it is a major redo.



It's the first update this season to say nothing, and yet be dissected like the game hints.

Only experts in interpreting game hints can find the hidden meaning of Update 17.

I emailed a team member that Team Update 17 was up and 469's strategy is now illegal. I immediately got a "NO WAY! Glad we didnt take the risk" response before they read the update. Then a confused response

So basically it is a believable rumour to start.

Re: Team Update 17

We should read into this update more...maybe the GDC is letting us know that they aren't going to change anything else for the rest of the season! Have we ever had an update that contained absolutely nothing?

Absolutely nothing? Au contraire! Let it be noted in the annals of FIRST history that on this day the game design committee did NOT choose to change, clarify, explain, or interpret ANY PART of the 2010 Manual.

And of course if you print the update and hold it up to a candle for a few moments, the following message will appear:

Pick 67 or 469.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
