It might just be me, but I think Mr. Lavery is just trying to hack into the Main Frame with all these dots and dashes. I'm probably wrong, but I'm just saying... Mr. Martus, you might want to go check the Main Frame...

Am I the only one who, when reading "sii no thi," feels like I'm saying "sign o' (or "of") thee"?
I feel like the next word should be apocalypse...

Re: Daves Game Hint

the first sequence that Dave left was ". . ." as three dots this is "s" but including the spaces (.-.-.) its a question mark

?II NO TH

NO might not mean "no" it could be "know"

and the IIs could be roman numeral

with these assumptions its "question to know..."

-We pull trailers (again).
-Alliance moves like a train for a special period (start/end game).

The game involves train-like properties;
-Alliances must use combined force to move game pieces.
-Alliances must pull/push game pieces

Train Construction:
- Alliances need to haul objects, place objects, and hammer objects to score.
- Alliances need to build something out of game pieces.

What else you got?

If somebody in the DC area has a tranquilizer gun, could they target Dave?

Even though I think this is reading into it too deep, I really like the hypothesis.

Alright, it's going to be another 3vs3 game. The robots must be cylindrical and made completely of aluminum. Matches will last 10 minutes - the amount of time it takes for Dave to drink a 6-pack of Diet Coke cans.

Re: Daves Game Hint

We now have a -. in the solar sail thread.

SII NO THI N

(The first letter is probably not a question mark, which is actually ..--..)

My call for the tranquilizer still stands.
