The Gifts of StarCraft 2

[Gifted]

There are many things that can be said about StarCraft 2. Some can be large and verbose, those will come from a respectable company known as Blizzard Entertainment. Others can be small as the tidbits and screenshots from Twitter and Facebook. But then, there are some pieces of information that are just cryptic... that's where this thread comes in.

These cryptic words, which I'll refer to as gifts, involve 1-3 words and contain an individual story behind the choosing of each of their specific contents. There is no "complete puzzle" to solve, but each one if explained will stand on it's own at the time of it's exposure. Will they be explained in time? To the best of my knowledge I will have the opportunity to explain them in the future at a certain point.

A word of warning or disclaimer first. This thread has the potential for silly shinanigans, speculations of the wildest or most mature kinds and ultimately should stay on subject... in whatever form that is. Some have said that the contents of these threads can cause some stress due to the high expectations, speculations and fear of "teasing". Please keep your emotions in check in this thread for your own sanity.

And if it's anything like the previous thread...

...enjoy the ride!

25, 27, 37, 43, 59, 65, 68, 73, 85, 97, 125, 131, 133, 142, 144, 146, 157, 159, 202, 228, 252, 270, 277, 295, 319, 322

Here's the "book", just click the numbers to go to the post.

Some things I noticed:
--25, 27: The first two pages are talking about the LoA's evil laugh, which points that there is something to hide. Gifted referring to it means big news.
--43: Spychi says "I for one will know tomorrow what can we expect, also this monday is very very important"
--59: Gifted gives "Mass installation". I found it funny how the previous gift of 1000 was not included as a page in the book.
--65: "And why do I have the feeling that things are proceeding even faster than expected?" I think this is what Gifted is referring to in this post.
--68: "things are HAPPENING" Also something that Gifted is pointing out.
--85: "Due to the nature of this information, I suspect they will not." Facebook is a source for small bits of news... So the information is likely not going to be something small. Either that, or it is so small that it is not worth mentioning. The former seems more likely.
--125: "Wow!" A gift from Gifted (lol, gift from gifted) that is color-coded. Yellow could have something to do with electricity, lights, the sun, gold, Protoss armor, yellow minerals......
--133: Archer sums up a bit of information.
--142: Eligor sums up a bit of info, particularly: "Gifted practically said that the US will get the Beta much sooner than Europe and Asia (where it'll start according to him "weeks/months later")."
--144: Thread deleting is curious.
--146: Gifted referring to this makes it more suspicious.
--202: One of the golden posts. The color gold can allude to things like gold, wealth, importance. Or it might actually be orange. Also, here is where Gifted writes in black, "I'm writing in black because whatever I write here doesn't matter... shhh!" On top of that, he quotes in the post about how the news might be WoW and SCII related, but not necessarily Cataclysm related (doesn't Bnet 2.0 have a function where WoW players can talk to SCII players?).
--228: Info may not be out in a week. More evidence to support that this is big info that might take some preparation to release.
--252: Always talking to Jack Doe.
--270: Gifted's gifts: "2 gifts: Eight Pizzas". He speficially says "2 gifts", which could be significant.
--277: Gifted may be throwing us off with this post, or hinting that this is on the right track.
--295: "I'm unaware of any meetings of importance today. Sorry >.<" Taking a break, maybe?
--319: Tells us to make a book, and gives "Energizer Bunnies". Keeps going and going and going... Maybe a lot of work is being done that doesn't seem to end? Or things are progressing rapidly?
--322: Another gold/orange post. Archer points out something important.

EDIT: Darnit too late on my post.
EDIT2: "Mini-gift: 8 players, Zerg wins" (post #335)
EDIT3: Codes:
--"A team at Blizzard preformed a massive installation of 1000 servers(?), which makes one say "Wow!". Then they ordered eight pizzas for an early dinner because they planned on working for a long time like energizer bunnies."
--"1,000 selected press/progamers are playing it right now"
--"red ones' wrong and green ones' right, near guesses?"
Chronology of Gifts. (post by Gifted)
--"Or a checklist of 1000 points or goals"

This is something I _CAN_ assure you of. I am aware that there will be a time when I can go back and explain every gift and how they fit into the full puzzle. Unfortunately, that time is not now.

So no matter how much you feel I'm trolling or frustrating you, please feel reassured that one day it can be alleviated. I truly hope you appreciate knowing this.

New thread, new beggining; or will we continue from the past gifts?

*Grabs taser gun*

The answer to that will shortly be given in the form of short cryptic phrases.
