Maybe Something!?

[lollypop2020]

I had the idea to make a list of all the "Morse code" endings to posts dlavery has made. They started with the first "..." on 10-29-2009 and have continued since. I did this quickly so I may have made some mistakes but in order the list so far looks something like:

. . .
..
..
/
-.
---

--.

.--.
.--.
.
.-
.-.
/
...
-
---
/
-...
.
/
/
.--
....
.-
-
..
...

When I first saw them chronologically arranged, I thought " That HAS to be Morse code, so after a quick google search for a translator, I got:

"EEEII NO THI NGISA HATITA PPEAR STO BE WHATIS"

I have no idea if this is at all useful, but I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on it?

Dave still has his sense of humor.

It's pretty close to this:

See Nothing is what it appears to be What is

[lollypop2020]

Oh...
After staring at it for a few more minutes it looks vaguely like

"Nothing Is As/What It Appears to Be What Is"

Maybe...

Thank you Dave, you are the source of the 5 second long hearty laugh I just had. Maybe they will someday learn to not interpret your post to find something both of us know is not there. Don't worry, I won't tell them if you don't.

Pure genius! The evilness manifested in the GDC is spewing out of Dave! Quick! Absorb it while you can! We may guess the game!

Genius! Nothing is as what it appears to be. Thus. the .., -, / are obviously NOT a game hint! Thanks for the laugh Dave!

I say just wait for the actual hint and not waste your time on this.

SII NOTHING IS AH IT APPEARS TO BE. WHAT IS
I think you are really on to something. If the second H is correctly transferred. Is it really ... for S? The first two I's could be E's

[Eugene Fang]

What's the "SII" mean?

Could it be that the "S" being "..." in Morse code and "I" being ".." were actually being used as punctuation, but then Dave saw everyone overanalyzing his "dots" and gave us a message?

Or does "SII" have another meaning?

[BrendanB]

Maybe "SII" is just as it sounds. *Sigh. And the "AH" really means "AS". I think Dave would make a few mistakes, I forgive you Dave!

That would make it: SIGH NOTHING IS AS IT APPEARS TO BE. WHAT IS

[nighterfighter]

That would make it: SIGH NOTHING IS AS IT APPEARS TO BE. WHAT IS

...the meaning of life!

I know the game guys! Our robots have to try and make 42. But 42 of what...

:O

[John G]

i agree. 42 of what? maybe our robots have to drive over an obstacle course in the shape of a 42.

[Tom Line]

This is a rehash of the post under Dave's Game Hint.

That message has been decoded up to his last post a day or two ago.

Sounds like a job for the hex bugs.
