The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Another sender marked off. Now down to 4 and one of them has posted very little in this thread.

 

Guess again!!! Sorry

 

Sorry so few posts from me.
Hint #3 the state I am shipping to is larger than mine

 

Hah, yeah I think "less posts than me" does a good job of eliminating you, much more so than your #6.

 

I think this might be me, but there are 2 NFL teams in my state...7 fits though I don't remember you being in my BIF.

 

Back to the drawing board.

Hint# whatever: My target seems to be the rare BA who is not a hophead.

 

Hint #1: There will be an amphibian on the bottle of one of the beers.
Hint #2: The state I'm sending to has a lower population than mine.
Hint#3: The state's flag where my target lives has an animal on it.
Hint#4: The name of my state and the name of your state have no common letters.
Hint#5: Your state has at least one president call your state home
Hint#6: You have a coastline
Hint#7: You are in one of the original 13 colonies
Hint#8: If you were singing the ABC song my state would come after yours.
Hint#9: You should know if state is my target now. Until both of you like my post no more hints will be given.
Hint#10: Beer is now in Du Bois PA

 

Last hint:
Since alas, soon a beer will be delivered

Their is one thing that is music to my ear.
And that is the sound of a freshly opened beer.
Without beer I can't even write a poem.
I love its can, liquid, and even its foam.
Beer is the worlds greatest drink.
(Author is not me)

 

I'm sure something went way over my head, but while a nice poem, how is that a hint???

 

Can't wait wheelzntoys!

 

I think that is a reference to my preponderance to long winded haul write ups...

 

Hint 1: Sending that way. (points eastish)
Hint 2: I've only ever been to the airport in your state.
Hint 3: Your states distribution list is longer than my states
Hint 4: You have atleast one want from my state
Hint 5: The total distance I've run this year is just short of the distance google says it'd take to drive there. (1000+ miles)
Hint 6: One of my state's official food is related to one of your state's official food.

 

Well if nothing else, I have learned that Minnesota has a state muffin, and that New Jersey considers the tomato a veggie while Ohio considers it a fruit.

The worst part of it is that this is one of your more useful clues :-)

And you didn't help, but I think I've got 13 targets figured out and have good guesses on almost all the others; I have a couple of creative assumptions built in though.

 

Oklahoma considers a watermelon a vegetable? Really?

 

See, my hint has turned into a learning opportunity! Better learning through beer.

 

OK -- I am ready to ship, merely waiting to see if my target knows who he is. One more time, only one person fits...

Hint #1 -- shipping west
Hint #2 -- my target is NOT the only one from his state participating in this BIF
Hint #3 -- my target's state school is a member of the Big 10 Football Conference
Hint #4 -- my target's state includes three consecutive letters of the alphabet
Hint #5 -- my target has fewer than 100 wants
Hint #6 -- based on the hints he's given so far, my target and my sender COULD be the same person!
Hint #7 -- my target's user name contains exactly two vowels, and they are different.
Hint #8 -- my target's user name contains a certain consonant three times
Hint #9 -- my target has the same last name as a Hall of Famer. That Hall is either in Cleveland or Cooperstown.

and the one that may have slipped through the cracks but should help (with additional quotes included for context)...

"I would honestly be pretty happy with almost anything I can't get around here ... I do, however, have plenty of access to Stone and Green Flash so would probably not be quite as excited with those. As a matter of fact..."

Hint #10 (and the last one I plan on giving) -- my target will be receiving a want from one of the breweries I just mentioned

 

well that makes sense.

FINALLY I can eliminate you... unless you can tell me how apples, rice, blueberry muffins, or morel mushrooms have ANY relation to milk and cookies and chocolate.... by the way, PA (Philly) is an obese place? nooooooooo couldn't be!

 

So, unless my sender is in a bordering state (heystevec in MD) then my sender has to be @Poorpatz! I'm glad I spent some time updating my MA-area wants!

 

We need more hints out of @The_Craft_Deviant_Rob @EA728 and @Mcooly just saying

 

I did run into one small problem packing, since I was low on packing materials. So I had to add more beer to fill the space. I am now ready to ship (hopefully by the end of the day)

133 ounces of wants, with a BA average score of 90%, rAvg of 4.14, and average Untappd rating of 3.90
76 ounces of real good locals, with a BA average score of 92%, rAvg of 4.10, and Untappd rating of 3.85

Those 209 ounces are all at least 90% on BA.

and then another 116 bonus ounces that are mainly very local (including a homebrew) but also include one bonus can from a brewery that my target expressed interest in -- they've got BA 85%, rAvg 3.79, and Untappd 3.65

Target -- please let me know if you've figured it out yet!!!
