You... make... me... sick. Just kidding. I've learned to ignore it now.

On-topic, I can't keep away from the hints thread, even if I don't have a theory.

The pictures just don't inspire as much curiosity in me as the poems. The IR board might just qualify as The Best Hint Ever, though.

What we all have to realize (and fortunately, most of we mentors do) is that the game isn't for US, but for the students. The clues are part of the game. So it doesn't matter if we're getting bent out of shape over a JPG of a fish (I do hope not too many of us are), but we should let the kids do so. It won't hurt anyone, unless we're talking about losing sleep, it will only increase the anticipation for kick-off (as if that were needed, or even possible).

In any event, I don't think anyone will ever solve the any aspect of the game based on a clue (but if you do, CALL ME QUICK!)

I think the universe should've imploded after that answer...

Yes.

Did someone write something? I see the letters but... that's fishy.

Wait. What am I supposed to be ignoring again?

I've been drowning getting a new control system running on an old robot and my brain is a little water logged these days. It's hard being a salmon swimming upstream, so if one of you could throw me a line and hook me up I promise to catch back up with the school...

Ignoring the game hint? What a great idea! If nothing more than for self preservation! When I left Friday evening, the Game Hint Thread was at 120 posts which was outrageous on its own, now it is close to 650!

But its hard to do when you walk through the high school and see the Opah as the wallpaper photo on all of the tech computers! (And when your very dear friend sends you poems about meatballs and moonfish! )

Well, I'm not worrying about it too much... although I am reading this thread, now, aren't I? My real contribution to this frenzy was forwarding it on to my former team, because despite my best efforts they are still completely absent on this site...

Song - meant to be sung ...
singular.

One. Just one.

And speaking of song - I can not believe that no one has started singing:

By the ligggghhhhhht

Of the silvery mooooooon...

You can tap dance to that, too.

Same here. As much as I try, there's only one member who peeks his head in every once-in-a-blue-moon.

I've been designated as the "ChiefDelphi" guy.

I don't pretend they don't exist, I prefer to read the game hint threads and laugh at the chaos there.

Nice meeting you this past weekend John.
Hope you got some fun in the sun and some needed rest!

PS - I can tell you that Opah is much more satisfying to eat than to obsess over.

Yep... I didn't even know there was a game hint until like 3 days after it came out when someone told me.
