Sometimes. Not necessarily random; often just a dot, or maybe a dash, because he doesn't like the way vB removes blank lines at the bottom of posts, so he'll put a dot there to keep the spacing looking nice. Then somewhere he got the idea of Morse Code (groan).

Re: "What is may not be"

Way off topic, but many Hams can read that with little effort.

Pre-college students: Think of the possibilities of learning a new language, one that can be delivered with just some tapping, or a flashing light, one which not many people understand. Like pig latin or gibberish, but far more versatile.

Good communication is the key to anything.

OK- I know it's too close to kickoff to get hung up on the remaining dots and dashes (since it doesn't look like another hint is forthcoming) but I've been hung up on them anyway. As of 1/3, the last post from Dave, #2952, it contained a '-' . The post count has since increased to 2956 over the last 4 days but the last post showing (on 'view-all posts from this member') is still the #2952 from 1/3?

Does anyone know what happened to the posts 2953 - 2956?
Or maybe I should just get back to work and wait for Saturday.

Discounting the 4 posts I can't find, the clue reads:
"What is may not be what it".......

Re: "What is may not be"

2008 and before, you'd get the following: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...AAAAAAAAAAAAA

He likes to have a little blank space at the end of his posts, but the site won't let him unless there's text there, so he puts the trailing dot (or trailing Morse). The trailing Morse only started this fall.

As for the other posts, there are some hidden forums on CD, and my guess is that Dave posted in those. This would account for those posts not showing up. There is also a decent chance that none of those posts have anything trailing, as they wouldn't cause maximum confusion.

Re: "What is may not be"

I haver been trying to learn the morse code. I set most of the icons on my computer into morse code with a slash before them so I could actually do it.

I have learned most of the vowels, and am now starting on the consonants like s, t, c, h, m, n, and other frequently used consonants

I have set my status on facebook in morse over the past few days and laughed at my friends when they try and solve it, and get it wrong somehow lol

One of my dreams has always been to be multilingual. I have been doing bad in German in school, and my girlfriend has tried to teach me some greek to no avail...I guess I have been destined for morse code haha

I think the "What it is may not be what it seems" is a perfectly logical direction for the remaining posts to take it in...

Re: "What is may not be"

Regarding Morse code, I got: "SIN//GIA/ISOBATMTEAI"
followed by a lot of 'E's.
looks like Latin, minus some letters here and there.

As of 01/02/10

Re: "What is may not be"

If at the kickoff someone says "this is the point where we ususally give you the encryption key to open up your manuals...but this year, its UP TO YOU to find it..."

then Ill know exactly where to come

what is may not be what is has been?

meaning we are going to have another huge change this year, doing something that has never been done before (ice, water, small woodland creatures)

Re: "What is may not be"

The decryption test says "Below is the 2010 FRC Game Hint"

then there is the picture, but what is may not be so we continue further

"Good luck, and Go Teams!"

seems like nothing at first, but maybe theres something to do with the capital on "Go"

Good luck and Go Teams! is the usual way for FRC blasts to end.
