"What is may not be"

[DMetalKong]

Running with the philosophical idea I found this page which happens to mention “Simple Inferential Internalism” (SII). The thing that caught my attention was this quote

The conclusion is that SII requires too much...of anyone; even the logically sophisticated. Our warrant for belief in the conclusions of our inferences cannot depend on an antecedently justified belief in the truth-conduciveness of those inferences. “At some point is must be possible simply to move between thoughts in a way that generates justified belief.” (Boghossian, 2001, 639)

Which seems to fit in with the "Nothing is what it appears to be" motif.

My hunch was that, simply, the game will involve more communication to and from the robot during the match. This could include robot:robot communication, drive:robot, driver:driver. Morse code is communicated through light sources as well, so I would simply assume use of the camera and a light source like 06 and 07.

Akash.... That makes the most sense out of everything I was thinking! I can't believe i never thought of that. It's not a hint, and not as it appears, but it just means more communication. Wow!

I was thinking it was like the 2008 anagram. A hint about the game. You know how the GDC says it's not a hint, but it really is. Dean is pretty good at that. But wow!

OK, this will bring all the HAMs out of the woodwork conducting code seminars

You know, I'm still a little surpised that "This is not a hint" fit within the first several letters... enough to get me to think it was not a coincidence that the phrase he's been choosing could be interpreted in more than one way.

Hmmmm.... I don't know if I can buy into the clue being a symbol. When ever you symbolize something it is usually prone to error. But I do like the idea of robot:robot/driver:robot communication - it would make sense with the new Classmate PC netbooks they're including with the kit. What about driver:driver communication??

Is this another one of those game hint jokes?

Oh no, dave's getting existential on us.

Do I retreat and say that this is just Dave tormenting me?

Or do I start pondering the ability for a robot to self-actually discern the difference between the true reality of its surroundings and the sensory input it receives?

I dont know what to do.

Well, let me throw this out there. Am I the only one who thinks that he's purposely doing this to throw us off track (no pun intended)? The first three letters seem totally random. We started this whole Morse Code thing the day after the initial "...". Who else thinks that he's just playing right into what we want him to do?

Nope, that was the first thing I said in the other "dave's game hint" thread.

It was clearly stated a few times by one of us "partially sane" people that it said "This is not a hint"

I think - once a riddle maker, always a riddle maker and in Dave's case, this is an understatement. The more he can perplex, the happier he is.

I put this in the hint#1 thread.
But should put it here.
The second sentence is "What is may not be."
Using an anagram of these letters results in "Maybe As hint Two."

Thus we might need to decode the first sentence to find hint #2??

This is not a hint ; appears to be what is may not be

I see "SII NOTHIN(G) IS (W)HAT I(T) APPEARS TO BE, WHAT IS MAY NOT BE."

I suspect those two initial "I"s, perhaps they are "E" instead?

Oh, and folks who use Code don't ever call them dots and dashes - instead they are "Dit" and Dah", since this is what they sound like. Like:

Dahdit Dididahdahdah Didit Didahdit Dahdahdidah

This is my thinking exactly. Dave's "hint" is that the 2010 game will not be the same as the 2009 game. It was one of those "ummm, duh!?" moments.
