Nah, it's worth a caption contest. Trapping JVN (or any other IFI employee) is negative infinity and a caption contest. Trapping 1114 is a measly 50 points, unless you trap Karthik, which multiplies your entire score by -1.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1

I have a feeling trapping Andy Baker would be harder than a double suspention. No teams would be able to pull it off, Mike Copioli would make a bunch of money in bets with the GDC, and in the end we'd have to fake it during an offseason compitition.

Edit: So by trapping Billfred and Karthik you could get infinity points? I call dibs on that stratigy!

Not a big enough number, though I could go for pi*i*e^1.

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1

I'm with Alan. We've finally reached the "repeat point" (though later than usual, if I recall correctly).

Peace out until #2 (if any).
