Re: Ignoring Game Hints

if you turn the brightness down on the picture you can read the lettering in the background. The picture is out of some school text book it realy doesn't say much.

Re: Ignoring Game Hints

Since I still haven't figured out the link between last years hints and the actual game, i am not yet concerning myself with this years hint.

Has one been posted? I thought the first one came out January 4th.

Re: Ignoring Game Hints

I find it funny how this thread about ignoring the game hint has degraded into discussing the game hint. Oh the irony.

Re: Ignoring Game Hints

I just looked at the picture showed it to the people in the cube farm near me to see their reations and forwarded the e-mail. Too busy with work to bother much thought into it.

Best year ever was when I didn't get the clue until after New Years.Although the clue did make me remember to check in here at CD for the first time in 3 months so I guess it can't be all that bad.

Only because I ate some in Hawaii last week and someone told me "hey you're eating the game hint!"

Re: Ignoring Game Hints

John, this year I've joined the ranks of the grumpy old mentors who have seen too many of these game hints to get excited by them anymore. I think its easier this year to ignore them with the new control system to play with.

But its always good to see the younglings get excited about the game hints every year, but wake me up when someone actually figures out something useful... January will come soon enough, hopefully this will be the first year I don't loose any sleep before build season starts... I know I'll be loosing enough sleep once season starts trying to pull a rookie team through build season...

Re: Ignoring Game Hints

I almost in the middle. I don't care about the game hint one bit, yet I do. Now I know that a lot of people in this thread are the same, especially if you joke about the hint. DUH DUH DUUUUUUUUH!
