I'm not going to admit I don't know where it is. But that's what I don't like about this whole thing. Even if you figure out the park on clue #1, you're still not lkely to find it because you don't know where in the park to look exactly. It typically takes hundreds of people a couple of days of digging before any of them will find it.

Whats up with yall? i m in here every day talkin and givin my insight into stuff, and yet, when i come in here and talk, i get ignored?? It would lead a clown to believe that people around here dont like new comers.

Leah: Possibly. I haven't really done any digging today. Done scouting, and will likely continue to unless I feel really good about tonight's clue. I suppose I'll see you at the PP tonight with everyone else here practically :)

chill Violent J, it's not personal. Some get caught up in conversations and it's not real time. Just listen for a bit and you'll catch up pretty quick.

Allison Wonderland: I mimic your thoughts EXACTLY about digging so far this year. I don't feel like doing it, but I feel like I should go somewhere. In past years, I at least felt like I had a reason to be in a certain park. Nothing's working for me this year. All I'm thinking is "big park." I should be a lot closer after seven clues.

Ya'll keep a look out for the clowns tonight. If the clue is any good. We finna be out there at whatever park it points to, diggin EVERYTHING up. And up until now (possibly) We ourselves have been harder to spot than the Medallion itself.

It seems like they are almost teasing us with these clues...

Like in clue #1 Last year at Newell our fate was most cruel,

Unfortunately the game ended too soon

Come now and prepare for a much tougher duel,

Keep on your toes or you'll hunt until June

  • The game ended much too soon *at Newell* so prepare for a much tougher duel? Tougher Clues for the same park???

    East and west can simply mean the east and west sides of the park...playground, b-ball courts, tetherball on the west.....and just a baseball field on the east...."stay off base"

    The man of mettle could simply be Pierce Butler again...."look for his name AROUND OUR DEAL"

    Another noodle about "off base" could be:

    The prize is at a place with lots of space

    Where riding around can be fun

    But you'll have to move off base

    If you hope to be the victorious one

    • this entire clue could be referring to the space neddle at the fair. Lots of space where riding around can be fun....well the needle circles as it goes up....but stay off base (not on the fairgrounds) and you will be victorious. Just a few ideas.

    Actually that's not quite what I was thinking Greg. I know what park its in, I just don't feel like looking for it right now. Too cold and too dark. I was just thinking I feel like getting out of the house.

    And its not in a big park.

    Stepp - I like your theory, but I just can't or won't believe it. If it is there, you get to claim dibs on calling the park.

    I might dig after the clue if its not too cold. I'd be more willing to go out somewhere afterwards and just discuss it. I suppose I can come back here and do that though.

    forgive me if someone has made this observation already, but wouldn't AA be a perfect choice to revealed in clue 12--as in twelve steps.

    We are going to go somewhere. Scribe wants to go to that ball field. AA also looks good. I also kinda like MLK/Rondo. I supposed we should go to the paper and figure out what everyone else is going (we hate Country music too).

    Sorry, y'all. I'm late on this AA thought. Arlington/Arkwright?

    Dave, is this your pick, or are you hiding your thoughts?

    Ares - In my humble opinion, these clues are just too vague to mean anything else.

    Leelabell, you don't know where you guys are goin? I am not going to go down to the paper. As soon as Prymzsphere gets home, we are gonna try out Mc Murray, I think... would like to know where everyone is going to be.... :)
