I failed to figure out hint #2 because I was sure they would not put a gate and field reset people in front of the table.

Wow. I just figured they were locked in a padded room.

(kid, I kid)

Likewise, I figured the padded room is on top of a mountain. Watching the GDC video at kickoff, it seemed to me there was a lack of oxygen there.

That room could tip over up there. Wonder if it is self-righting.

If not, I'm sure it has a clever message on the bottom

"If you can read this, turn upright. DO NOT open to check for survivors! Opening will cause mass chaos, confusion, aha moments, inspiration, learning, fun, and coopertition. Opening too early will simply cause the first two. The time lock will release on [Kickoff date] at [Kickoff time]."

I think they used some of the padding of that room on the field this year...

Something along the lines of "Help?"

Is that a hint? Oh, never mind ...

Heh, and I bet you just thought that I was on Team "116" purely by accident. We have always made it a point to ensure you would know who to call if we were turned over.

I know that this will de-rail the topic a little, but I think it is funny that dlavery is still trying to give us a "game hint" in morse code.

He's not. He's just trying to get some extra space between his words and his signature. If you'll notice, it's been a single dot since Kickoff.

He edited it after I made that comment.

Not at all. First, understand that a period . is also used to describe a point. Well, in that padded room they don't allow pointy objects. So, he's limited to hyphens.

Poor Dave.
