When does Bill give out the first game hints usually?

The official game hint does not come out until December.

Anything you may or may not think is a hint from either Dave or Bill could come at any time, including in previous years.

Oh? Really? Is there some documentation or policy statement that says that is the case?

I'm just sayin'....

Tradition is almost a policy in itself...

Admittedly, last year's tradition is this year's rule change!

No, but as Eric said, it seems to be a tradition.

However, I will not complain at all if I wake up on Thanksgiving and find a game hint and a thread about it. Who doesn't want Christmas (or your choice of winter holiday) to come early?

If we ask really nicely can we get it pushed back until New Year's Eve since we will all be staying up late that night anyway? What if we bribed you with cookies?

Dave was also kind enough to drop us a 'hint' in the Universal Gripper thread.

Which I assume means we're all either picking up little circular (R) pieces or dressing like Nittany Lions.

I'm going to laugh when the game piece is literally tennis balls and people go way off with the brand name or shape of the picture.

I wouldn't be surprised if the game involved a see-saw or multiple see-saws in some way.

I bet krispy kremes would work a lot better.

A few of the kids on our team and I were discussing the possible game pieces and we came up with two very interesting ones:

A safety cone: It has many different angles and would provide a very interesting challenge for all of the teams to lift/move

A 50 Gallon Barell: Another large game piece that would provide a difficult challenge considering it is not spherical

Both of these pieces would be interesting, and I would love to see them in action!

Still waiting for stair climbing to be part of the game.

For someone with a rookie year of 2004, you seem to have forgotten that 2004 had stairs... 3*2", or 1*6", with an extra 6" step on top of that for extra height. Some teams did in fact use the 2" stairs, while many did the 6" ones.
