He has. He gave us the hint. More than that we will not get from him until Kickoff.
Guys…we have recieved an updated clue…
look at the update date…January 2nd…
The new one shows a few more things that i have noticed…
there are 2 crowds: top left and center right’ as people have already mentioned
AND…i have got a pruff that robots WILL NOT be stationary…
loo at the top right cornet, there’s a wheel there…that sais it all
Lens maybe, and yes I see the specks of color.
I really hate thinking this much over something. lol
Anyways, this is probably my final guess.
The Diamond plate and the 5 seem recessed in a bowl shaped object. The diamond plate is obviously not see through so I can’t tell if this object is a rolling goal but I do believe we have a goal on our hands.
Blue 5 pt goal, in the shape of a Volcano - on the real field made out of some poly resin material that is translucent blue and maybe more colors for more teams.
The Volcano shape would explain the skewing of the crowd and the funky optics based trick it is playing with us.
Horray for refraction and optics!!!
I mean c’mon people. How many times have we seen an object in a movie bounced off of a astronaut’s mask, or a picture taken with a fish eye lense (ya know… kinda like this picture in the CD gallery)
Optics had to come into mainstream FIRST eventually, why not in 2007?
sorry if someone already said this, but…
Maybe theres really only 5 weeks of build season?
There will be 6 weeks to build season, as said in the shipping information and date.
yeah, thats the only drawback to my theory.:rolleyes:
i just have to say this because of all the people talking about water
when i logged on a few minutes ago, the quote at the very top of the page was this:
dlavery: If there is water in the 2006 game, I will blame it on Gary
i dunno if this was well know that this was said and i missed it or what, but i thought that being layed down as a solid fact would be a nice adition to this discussion.
looks at the 5 key on your keyboard, it has a slight indernt coming out of it, its in the center, maybe their is a rising platform in the center…
Translation:
“Hi, I am Louis. I have liked this number ever since i was little. You guys know that 2 and 3 is 5, and 4 and 1 is 5 too. Ah the number 5 is so smooth.”
No clue here…
No plateau on my 5. But there is a percent symbol.
Maybe you are 5% right? 
We’re already done with the 2006 game - that was Aim High. They’re going to kick off the 2007 game on Saturday.
P.S. Here’s the original thread from which that spotlight was from. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=399886#post399886
I have a little plateau.
edit: (5 is also in the center surrounded by the other numbers, creating a square.)
With all the little people and the plateau, volcano - I can’t help but think of an old movie, Close Encounters of The Third Kind, with Richard Dreyfuss. He made one out of mashed potatoes. When they begin try to communicate, they use a bar with lights and sounds (5 tones) - I don’t have the correct terminology but it is way cool.
I haven’t read the whole thread so this might have been said before, but there’s definitely a fish in the lower right hand corner…

hmm…
Why would there be water on the field? come on people think. they would not have water on the field for a few safety reasons.
That was my first thought when Elgin said volcano.
And on the topic of Close Encounters, my friend Nikki just got those 5 tones for her text message ringtone.
I have a lot of thoughts that needed to be spewed out. Some of them are:
-
If there was a banana in the old hint the first thing I thought of was slipping. Maybe if there were circular platforms may they make it so it’s hard to get on top?
-
With the new clue, I see the faces that looks like a crowd… I see a fish at the bottom right. But is it just me or is there a face in the bottom left hand corner? Looks like 2 eyes an open mouth a hat and a bearded sillohuette. Looks like something from a cartoon. Please tell me I’m not the only one that sees it.
These are just some thoughts right now, I will post if I have any other things on my mind. Hope this brings up good conversation!
I agree that this may be an update, probably to sharpen certain things that hadn’t popped out earlier. If so, there is the possibility that they would change other things as well, hiding a message in the picture. I would bet that they might use steganograpy (credit goes to Mazin). All of the links to the old picture are low, so if someone is sure that they have the original, please post it. That way we have both of them here to compare…

that object that looks like a wheel in the upper right corner also looks like an alien face, with a hood on it if you look at it. Sorry guys but im just talking out of my a$$!
Hmmm… My friend and I just looked at the old picture and the new picture… And it seems to be the same, I can see all of the things before… Or are we looking at the wrong picture?
