Sorry I didn't make the gig last night, I was looking forward to meeting all of you. Question, Does having the clipped clues from the paper mean every days clipped clues or just the most recent days?
I'm not worked up yet, no big clues that tell you an area untill the 3rd or 4th clue.I bet we'll have it narrowed down to a few places by about thursday, good luck all
oksorry it took me so long to join in. the first clue always tells us city of orgin, in this case st.paul. but since its a double clue we have to look at the 2nd paragraph. last year we were also given a double first clue. last year it was obviously telling us to stay away from parks with golf courses (como, highland, (phalen has been banned anyways because part of it is in maplewood, maplewood hates the medallion)). however this year the clue im not sure if it means its a park with a golf course and to just stay off it, or a park without a course. but since como has a buttload of activities going on, and highland has a frisbee tourny, they might not hide it their anyway due to interferences.
the word rapscallion meaning a roughe or rebellionious may be telling us its not a new park, so if it dosnt have a golf course, and its not a new park, but a standard park the its cherokee, hidden falls, or maybe even newell. but i doubt that much info this early, and is probally just a ryme word.
Don't be a rapscallion and seek the medallion In places of the improper sort You're certain to cause a rebellion
thats it rymes 3 times, usally it has a ABAB ryme sceem, but this is different. notice two words meaning uprising or upriser, rapscallion and rebellion. something to do with making a change or rebellion? but it seems to point us to the side of the old way, not the new. still possible a reference to the classic parks, and not new ones possible. if we can figure out about the golf course to stay away from, or just not go on, we'll be sitting pretty.
although i feel i must say, looking into this first clue more than its in st.paul, and whatever is meant about not going on a golf course is not nessisary
Wright, I must say that I am also looking into the clue more. I believe it says something more than just that it is in STP. I dunno though, just my feeling.
Maybe they did have 2 versions of the clue depending on what the Vikings did, but if so, does it not seem odd they would go through that much trouble to work them in? I still doubt it alludes to anything more than what the medallion may be hidden in, but it would not be the first time the first clue made such a reference.
As for the rhyme scheme, it seems to me that its been pretty standard for the last word in the first line to rhyme with the word midway through the first line.
I still don't think its even saying that its not at a park with a golf course. Just that wherever it is, its not on a golf course, even if the park its in does have one. We'll see, but I wouldn't eliminate any parks just yet.
the reason we can assume its not at a park with a golf course is because it is obvious it won't be ON the actual course itself. so if it's saying stay away from a golf course, wouldn't you think the entire park can be excluded? What do you think?
last year everyone thought that the part with not going on the golf course meant that it was at an park with one. This year I think it just means don't go on a golf course either way.
If for the same reasons as last year when the PP website was bogged down at 11:30 with the latest clue, I will have the latest clue at my site at 11:31. I will be on top of each clue the second it comes out, and update my site immediatley
If the Medallion were at Highland for example, there's plenty of park to search through besides the golf course. And if it were there, saying its NOT on the golf course becomes even more important. And like I said before, it seems odd they'd give the same clue two years in a row. I think its just a general statement they intend to include every year from now on.

I feel it says more too, now we can just wait and see, lets see it is now 8:30 only 3 and a half hours to go until the next riddle.
BTW - it was good to meet you last night WW.

Hey everyone! We should all meet at the chatroom in www.medallionhunt.8m.com! It is much better to have real time chat!
some of you people are reading WAY too much into the FIRST clue! All it says is that it is in St. Paul and not at a park with a golf course.
I still don't think its even saying that its not at a park with a golf course. Just that wherever it is, its not on a golf course, even if the park its in does have one. We'll see, but I wouldn't eliminate any parks just yet.
Hey everyone! We should all meet at the chatroom in www.medallionhunt.8m.com! It is much better to have real time chat!
And if we didn't read too much into the clues, what would we talk about?
I'm back!
I spent a night away from this, and read the first clue in the paper, today at noon! I have to save my sleep. I feel bad that I missed last night.
I agree that we can't say either way about the golf course.

hello allison some one to talk at!!!!!
So get down to the papers building, anyone know where it is?
Hi All!
345 Cedar St. downtown.
If the Medallion were at Highland for example, there's plenty of park to search through besides the golf course. And if it were there, saying its NOT on the golf course becomes even more important. And like I said before, it seems odd they'd give the same clue two years in a row. I think its just a general statement they intend to include every year from now on.
Thankee terry!!!! where did ya'll come from?
derrick i cannot get the chat feature to work.. I don't know what I am doing wrong.. It isn't keeping up to date, any help you can give?

I came from my own private hunt for my special mittens. For the moment I'm giving that hunt up.
Allison - I agree. It's like don't destroy property and stay off any golf courses.
If you think about it, the special care that golf courses need, the expense of repairing them from a hunt makes it smart to include that reminder.
For those of us who have been hunting most of our lives, we understand that it would never be on a golf course, but every year there are new hunters.
is there anyone left at this site??? Or am I the only one?
Im here
