Thank you to Cody, Dr Jimmy and FLUniversalJax. I appreciate you all taking the time to fill me in on last year's details.
In reading the history of Belasco's hints from last year, I guess it is undeniable that he knew what was going on. That being said, most of the quotes from last year were specific references to other media. For example, "over the cuckoo's nest" refers to the famous novel,"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," which deals with the goings-on inside a mental institution. Or "Miss Hanigan," which references the character who runs the orphanage in the classic play "Annie."
The quotes that he has released this year seem much more vague in nature. This may be due to FLUniversalJax' point about the A&D team "upping" the difficulty on us, but could they possibly be false leads? Is there any chance that this Belasco character is throwing out red herrings to keep us off balance?
Again, I apologize for the pessimism, but I am a skeptic through and through. I enjoy the game, but I prefer to know when I am playing it.

P.S. It was mentioned that last year was the first year when advanced information became hard to come by. Any idea what happened to cause the information leak to cease? Are there other sources of inside info that can corroborate anything Belasco says?
