    @maljay26 has posted a couple of hints. I don't know about this Hoser fellow, though.

    I've yet to end up with an Ohio target for a newbie round. Maybe next time?

    Alright, going all in today with a bonus (and final) hint:


    Hint #1: Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell
    Hint #2: Uncle Acid
    Hint #3: Oblivians
    Hint #4: Epsilons
    Hint #5: Intelligence
    Hint #6: Sadahiro Yamada
    Hint #7: Robedoor
    Hint #8: Electrelane
    Hint #9: Umberto
    Hint #10: Nadja

    {end of hints}

    Decoder Hint #1: These hints are worthless (as hints, anyways) until I'm done listing them
    Decoder Hint #2: In the form of a question

    I'm curious if anyone (target or otherwise) can solve this. The ten hints above are enough to zero in on one specific person as my target. I may add more decoder hints as necessary.

    Hint #1: My target needs to add some more wants that are obtainable by me.
    Hint #2: Shipping to a state that is somewhere below mine.
    Hint #3: While Ludacris has had many hoes, he apparently hasn't had any in your area code, but has had at least one in your state.

    Content Hint #1: Its very convenient that I picked up a couple bottles of a certain beer a couple weeks ago and I can now use one for this round.
    Content Hint #2: I won't be able to ship until next week Monday at the earliest.
    Content Hint #3: This beer shares the name of an author's "masterwork", which was later adapted into film, multiple times.

    Hint #1 Your wants and my stash will get along
    Hint #2 Honeybee
    Hint #3 Been to your state this year, didn't know you then
    Hint #4 Whelk
    Hint #5 Your state's most well known brewery isn't that far from you. Wonder if you take half-day trips for their releases.
    Hint #6 Thrasher

    Content Hint #1 I'm ripping off @azuelke content hint idea here: this beer riffs off a well known song from an oft-quoted movie from the 80s. This beer will be an extra.

    Ah you beat me to my last hint, which would have confirmed that I am shipping to the lovely state of Michigan :wink:

    It was a pretty sweet hint too, so I'll give it to you anyway

    Hint 8: Darth Vader (or his voice) attended college in your state.


    And a final content hint to go along:

    Your box was going to have a nice bottle in it of the South of the (US) Boarder festive variety, but due to the impending hurricane, I'm having a feeling it will not be released this weekend as I'd hoped. It's okay though, I will replace it with something good and ship out shortly

    Ultimate Decoder Hint: Four words in the form of a question. Individual hints and words mean nothing, don't overthink it. The solution won't explicitly spell out my target's name, BA handle, or state, but it will specifically call out one person.

    Hint #1 - One of my targets hard to get local wants is available on tap near my current location!
    Hint #2 - I have never sent beer to my target before.
    Hint #3 - My target's name on BA is at least somewhat based on their name in real life.
    Hint #4 - Shipping South.

    This is appropriately headache inducing.

    Hint #4 - Shipping South.
    Hint #5 - Went shopping at lunch today for my target. I'm having trouble hitting your wants. You have less wants than me and the ones from CA are tough to get (some are impossible for me to get in bottles). Add more wants? I'll ship next week I think, so you have time!
