It disproves the rumour that beta is ready.

It is Miles per second :P
That is a real sweet number if that is what I think it is.
The rumor is that beta is almost ready. Kicho's reply doesn't mean beta won't be out Monday (not suggesting it will be, just an example of their fine timeline)
Just pulling this from a previous quote someone took (might be out of context) but I think I should reiterate for yours or anyone else's purpose that the Conference calls are a business obligation every quarter and there's absolutely no reason to think there will be any relevant SC2 news other than "on track" or "delayed."
The conference call doesn't even need an announcement, I could have guess 3 months ago it would be on Feb. 11 and been off by a day =/
Yah must likely its nothing. It would be really weird for Blizzard to in the middle of a board meeting say "hey guess what! tomros Beta!"
God I freaking hate this waiting. Does anyone know how long weve been in this limbo? How many days have we gotten up every morning loged on hoping for beta news and seen nothing?
@Gifted: If you ever start talking about SC 2. Only and only if you do so. Could you ask JD if stalkers are still the main OP focus of the protoss ground forces.
The main thing that confuses me about all these guesses is that Gifted said something like "Lol no one is even close yet" about a quarter of the way through the previous thread after we had exhausted pretty much any relevant sc2/battle.net/beta related idea, meaning the installations aren't sc2/battle.net/servers etc...
Hi All!
Thank you again LoA for helping me with my account posting problems - much appreciated!
Wanted to lay down some thinking/reading I've done over the last day since the first gift: '1000' could possibly to February 11th, marking the 1000th day that has gone by since SC2 was announced back in 2007.
This maybe nothing, and this may be old news. If so, sorry, but wanted to share my thinking.
Yah its upseting that we've waited almost a thousand days.
Announcement was May 17th, right? Pretty sure that makes Feb. 11 1000 days. 17+31+30+17 = 95. 365x3 =1095
19 + 30 * 8 + 365 + 365 + 11 + 365 = 1000
On the first day of the announcement, Blizzard gave to me:....
what if the numbers are a continued fraction?
1000 days. That is a very interesting observation. I would not have seen that. I was pretty sure we would see something during Starcraft's anniversary last year, and boy was I wrong about that!
Are energizer bunnies Easter eggs?
We listen to the tales and romanticize,
how we follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
How we'll rise to the height of our halo.
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize,
our way into the arms of the savior.
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations.
None of us have actually been there,
Not like you...
Ignorant siblings in the congregation.
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me...
None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see.
But enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated?
Your little piece of the divine.
This post may be a stretch, but it's 1:15 AM here and I still have coffee coursing through my system, so I'm passing the time before I sleep by thinking about this:
8 Pizzas. Gifted did say at one point in the old thread something about 8 players and Zerg winning (if I remember correctly), so perhaps the 8 pizzas refer to a 4v4 match? Even more wild of a thought, what if they're all Zerg? When I thought of a pizza, I thought of all the toppings on the pie, and then I thought of a Zerg Hive colony and how on the minimap it could look like 8 pizzas. (Hahaha, I really need to sleep!!!!)
Anyhow, more food for thought for you late owls.
And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me
I'm gonna let it shine
to guide you safely on your way.
Your way home...
Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun?
Other than tremble incessantly.
High is the way,
but our eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way.
They'll only read about.
I only pray heaven knows,
when to lift you out.
10,000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home...
Am I delirious or is Archer singing?
You're the only one who can hold your head up high.
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
"I have come home now...!"
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
"It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my
Give me my wings...!"
Give me my
Give me my
Give me my
Give me my
Give me my
Give me my wings...!

Toby=Archer, maybe? :P
You are the light, the way,
that they will only read about.
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance.
Burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion.
Should you see your maker's face tonight,
Look him in the eye.
Look him in the eye and tell him,
I never lived a lie, never took a life,
But surely saved one.
Hallelujah
It's time for you to bring me home.
I was sure something was going to happen for the 10 year anniversary. I was so disappointed that I emailed Pardo about it. :p I also wrote something myself for it but never published it - maybe someday.
It's hard to believe we're approaching the 12th anniversary - not only of the game but also of my 12 year anniversary being involved in the community.

Come February 10th, it will have been 1,000 days since SC2 has been announced.
IS THIS THE MEANING OF 1,000???
?, i dont think that TOOL has something to do with this...
excepto... they are doing the sountrack for the game!!!!! *happy dance*
LOL
Now I know something you guys dont. So this is how it feels to be Gifted ;)
I think the challenge that is laid out before me is not to decipher the meaning of these gifts, but rather why I subject myself to this mental abuse over a video game. I tell myself that I will look away... But... As you can see.. That isn't happening... Back to the drawing board with these cryptic messages... Man where is Jeff Goldbloom when you need him.. ::sniff::
Lol people, just go to sleep. News will come in time. We've waited a long time for this game... I dont know why u just love to be teased by somebody that claims to know something, but aint telling a thing.
Its just stupid. Oh well. Maybe u have nothing else to do so in that case i gues is ok... I guess... :rolleyes:
See ya.
Its nice to be in the loop partially for once, tho this was a amusing read for a afterwork wind down
You mean one of THESE loops, don't you? We've been in one of those since they announced the bloody sequel :p

Archer's hidden message?
He's a Tool
It seems I’ve missed a lot in the past few days- time to get reading. You all sound hyperactive, so I’ll assume it’s a good thing. :p
