wasnt there a movie or a tale that involved an animal that runs with the gold/cash?  What about a fish that eats something valuable?  Anything?

Most people don't read the first clue more than once, so the cluewriter wouldn't really do anything too clever with it. If they ever gave anything away in the first clue, it would have to be placed with the idea that nobody figures it out. The cant run any other risk.

thats what i just said. in like 10 words or less, hemingway.

I agree that it is early...BUT, the writer most likely wants to avoid the mass of diggers last year on the final night--and therefore may be more revealing earlier in the game.  Just curious if anyone has proposed a connection to a story/fairy-tale.  Noodling.

MrMNMikey--thanks for the tip on coolertimes.com--there is some (limited) activity but I like that I don't have to refresh all the time.  Hopefully more activity later in the week.

Did you guys notice the BIG item from the clue writer Q & A.  "will the Hunt ever go beyond Saint Paul"  reply - (usually) no.

 

1st clue to me says in a park.  Scoot just rhymes with loot.  1st clue usually has a verb stuck, hide, placed, put, stick it. so i can't read anything into stuck.  "old curmudgeon" is a term that has bben used to describe newspaper journalists.  kind of like calling an old writer an old hack.

Terry V - thanks for the link to the Q & A

Sorry I misssed you all at the PDG.  Celebrated my wifes B-Day instead.  Hope to see many of you in the parks. 

CM  - can I still make a bet for the park??

 AW - Happy Birthday!!

here is the thing I dont get and if someone can explain it I will be forever gratefull.  The Medallionators want to disrupt things....why?  what is the harm in letting people have fun without Drama.  What is the purpose of creating 16 screennames to come on a board that you hate filled with people you cant stand.  It makes no sense.  I can not find the logic so if there is an explanation please fill me in cause i am lost!

The response of the clue writers to the question about spotters was one that gave me a good hoot and chuckle this morning.

payme.. bottom line is... they have no life... no respect for other people's feelings... and they know this. They think they're being funny, when they're really not.

They can send the same email to 100 people and would get 100 different responses.  If Dawg was offended then the joke is no longer funny.   Whatever the response if we agree or not was warrented by how they felt by an unsolicited comment.  I understand the attention thing.  My boys teach me about that every day.  I also understand about adult drama.  This just doesnt fit that.  I am sure that if people are getting offended one of those 100 responses are going to end very badly.  Why would anyone want that.

Ter- I love it when you hoot and chuckle first thing in the morning.

I have been hunting off and on for 20 years but really dug in the last 5. The medallionators to me seem like the bunch of dweebs that sat one the loser side of the library. Here is an idea Do NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THEM __________THEY ARE LOSERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Langness sent an egram to people about a website he created. Digger Dawg told ESD she disliked the egram she got and ESD blew up. Then Langness made an ESD_ISA_LOSER screen name
