still… no… hint… grr…
i wouldn’t expect a game hint till later today if there is one
I feel that the official game hint #1 was worth 2 game hints. Last year’s hints were rather vague, and only made sense in hindsight.
Although… Flash Update IV… like
…
Star Wars: Episode IV
Maybe the game will start with a tractor beam.
The hints are usually pretty obtuse until around you see the game.
However I think the CD community is right in the general opinion that the word FLASH in all the update titles is 2nd hint. The roman numerals may also be part of the hint.
It makes me think the game will be like a scavenger hunt/obstacle course like game. With multiple things being posted I feel like there will be multiple tasks that we can accomplish.
Now he’s just messing with us with these updates. The moment the next clue is released the website’s gonna be so clogged with people trying to find it.
In my opinion I don’t believe there will be another game hint but there is always a possibility.
He wouldn’t toy with us like he is if there isn’t another game hint. Expect 1 or 2 more “flash” updates to finish off all of the details of tomorrow’s events THEN expect the game hint.
I would love to see Bill write a little story about this years clues and all this guessing. Something like, " That kid in the 8th post almost got it and we started to think how we could mess with them."
ahaha… i see what you did there 
I tried the stream tests referenced in this post. The high resolution gives me audio but no picture… What’s with that?
IV like intravenous… tries to think of water game connection…
i think that “Flash” has something to do with the game because all those posts could have easily been condensed into a single Blog post. It’s fishy. Same with the light word association with Luminaries and Flash…
And all of the lights in the 1st game hint.
IV is really just 4
Which is the leading number in 40,000
First is a LEAGUE of robots
40,000+League = 40,000 Leagues under the sea
Theres your water game connection. Its pretty obvious if you ask me. Poor hint encryption FIRST.
Out of general curiosity, if we actually got a water game, what would most teams think/do? I, personally would sort of panic
They’d react the same way as when we got one in '93
I infer an under water or submersed game as I think most others do. While '93 incorporated water, it was neither seen nor manipulated directly
flash update… it has to mean something…
yes it does
