Will we ever get a hint #2?

[DavisC]

Well, so far its only been 1 game hint (which was posted 17 days ago), since its been so long since the hint, do you think they plan on putting another one out or are they done?
I was really hoping for a fun Hint this year, really been my 1st time checking for them...

[pfreivald]

Inevitably. They always drop at least one during the kickoff speeches...

[Billfred]

They've got a little under three weeks to post it--patience may be required.

I mean really, have you ever tried to schedule Dean and the scuba diving trainer in Manchester in winter?

[Steven Donow]

Probably sometime this week or next week. They'd logically release it around the halfway point between hint #1 and kickoff.

[Hallry]

I bet even the GDC is still trying to figure out the last one =P

But 17 days since the first one, 19 days until Kickoff...tomorrow is looking pretty good for a nice halfway-mark

[avanboekel]

Last year, we didn't receive the first game hint until 12-21. The second was released 1-04. This was only 4 days before kickoff. We may have another 2 weeks before our next hint (if there is a second hint).

Is the lack of a hint a hint in itself? Perhaps they are indicating that we have already figured it out.

Because it's a water game, and we knew it all along.

Doubt it will be a water game, but always a possibility.

For the game hint #2 it may come soon or it may not it all depends on GDC.

or maybe the whole point is 1.

maybe 1 alliance? maybe 1 goal? perhaps 1 game piece? maybe 1 driver?

[Andrew Schreiber]

Most definitely, it may not be this year though.

[Grim Tuesday]

2001 was one alliance, one goal, so they've already done that. 11 years later? Lots of 1's in there.

11 years after 2001
1 year after 2011
1 alliance
1 hint


It's clear.

It's clear.

There will be exactly one water game.

Aha, we solved the hint. This year's game is DEFINITELY NOT A WATER GAME. Trolls defeated for good.

[DavisC]

I randomly realized this; 2500 photosensors are not on the 1st game hint, but the Line Trackers were provided by Rockwell Automation... Guess we aren't following lines this year.

On the 2011 KOP list was made me think that.
