    Not sure, this is my first one too. I'm planning on a hint a day, some semi-helpful, and some obscure as hell until a pretty direct one the day I ship my box out. Only problem is I won't be shipping for a while as I'm waiting on a beer to be released in early Jan. so it's gonna be tough to keep it rolling without being obvious for that long.

    My target lives in a state that I've never been too, but is one of the original 13 colonies. Doubt that helps much, but I feel like my next one might give it away...

    My apologies everyone, I DO have everyone's address, however YOU all do not. I just haven't had a chance to go through and do all the copy/pasting yet. I hope this isn't holding anyone up from their shopping, and should have it done in the next day or two.

    That should rule me out then as your target.

    Hint #1 - My target lives in a state I've been to more than once but in a city I've never been to or even through.
    Hint #2 - I'm shipping in a westerly direction.
    Hint #3 - My target's first and last name begins with letters in the first half of the alphabet.
    Hint #4 - My target lives east of the Rocky Mountains.
    Hint #4.5 - My target has posted on this thread at least once.

    Hint #5 - The three beers I have locked in to send so far (I'll probably end up sending 6-8) are rated 95, 95, and 97 on BA and are all brewed within 80 miles of my home. Two are actually brewed within 18 miles of my house.

    Hey, what a coincidence....My target's first and last name begins with letters in the secong half of the alphabet, and...

    I'm shipping in an Easterly direction.

    Oh, and he's posted on this thread...

    So if I remove @2beerdogs and @Homebrew from the list as well as my target and make the assumption that the other PA people and also MD, DC, NJ, NY and OH are off the list that should cut my potential sender list down to 1 of 13. Still have no idea though.

    At least not yet :stuck_out_tongue:

    Will probably be re-receiving one from either my most recent city of residence before my current, or from the one just across the water from where I lived after graduation :wink:

    Also, side note: not having participated in one of these here thiddangs before, are we supposed to start guessing who our sender is when we get an idea, or is it a surprise through and through?
    I feel like I've pretty well given my target away at this point, though that could just be because my mind 'works' in bizarre ways and thinks my hints make any sort of sense.

    Well, there are no participants from St. Louis. Maybe that helps somebody.

    Feel free to guess away! After all, that's the purpose of a hint. But remember, it's possible that your sender may be using some misdirection, much like a magician.
