Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!

The first two lines of Kiss From A Rose by Seal:
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.

There will be a neutral structure in the center of the field. I would like to guess that the endgame will be like 2004 where only a few robots can get it and there would be intense competition to get it and also deny the other alliance from having it.

From the pushpins, if they are legit: there will be two like structures on the other side, one for each alliance, but nowhere near as important.

My friend is thinking the game could be like 1994's Tower Power with a central tower that can be scored on.

And honestly, I have no idea how I cracked the riddle. I just thought Pi when i saw the strings of numbers, and then I thought pairs of digits would easily encrypt letters. A bit later, with a few substitutions needed, and here we go.

Does the fact that Pi was part of the cipher become a hint in itself?
