Re: Game Hint #2

re: phoenix.

this may be of interest. The city of Phoenix seems to think this corridor is a key "connectivity" area.

Re: Game Hint #2

We really should be careful here. The GDC is probably monitoring all of these discussions, and using the best ideas to torment us with both clues and games for the future years!

18 days to go!

Re: Game Hint #2

It would appear that this game involves Zambonies/Ice, Microsoft, Government buildings, and Football???

OH Crap we have to do taxes!

Re: Game Hint #2

GDC is always watching our discussion
i will stop looking at the map, and maybe draw our own anticipating model instead

Re: Game Hint #2

Both hints have somthing to do with large areas so maybe it has somthing to do with a large playing field with the peices in sight.

Opah-lives practically anywhere tropical

Hint #2-it has lots of places that are all over the place

Re: Game Hint #2

I think I am getting somewhere with this hint. I think I figured out the first and second lines so far. I got this by figuring out what the GDC might have searched for on Google to find something with the location that the hint says.

Line 1- "zamboni", google that and the first link takes you to a business located on Colorado Ave. in Paramount, CA

Line 2- "uhaul", the U-haul international HQ is located on Central Ave. in Phoenix, AZ. this could apply to "get connected" (hitch up the trailer) and to the next line which says to "make a pickup" (put the item in the trailer)

Lines 3 and 4 I haven't found anything useful yet.

Re: Game Hint #2

The reference to Zamboni might be more related to hockey than Ice.

The Game piece for FTC this year is a street hockey puck, and FIRST has just had a bunch of these made in custom red and blue colors

Re: Game Hint #2

okay im not sure if its been said already but an anagram is possible, unfortunately internet anagram solvers arent used to long strings of words and wont give all of the results but anyway, i figured that the semicolon meant that you could solve it as a whole or as individual sections, so i got some words that brings me back to the water concept. the words that stood out were Unmoor, pontoon, and port. if anyone has a high quality anagram solver it may be something to look into
