The Gifts of StarCraft 2

[GnaReffotsirk]

I agree with all of this except the claim that we will actually be able to narrow it down to one idea. there's too many different ways the clues could be interpreted

there's just not enough information right now to form any solid knowledge out of it

That's the problem. Concrete ideas is absurd right now. That's impossible to have.

Because we have hints, all we can expect to have are "feels" of what's there. Just as you said, shadows.

Now, these shadows are cast from multiple lights, right? At least, we can get a handle of the mass of shadow stacked on each other. That little area where they all intersect and make a more deeper one can then be known and agreed upon.

But that doesn't mean that's going to be anything but a guess. It's all we can get. We don't have to expect more from ourselves at this time.

He had gathered his followers and they believed. But how to convince the people? A false prophet was a false prophet even if he spoke the truth.

One thing I'm still not entirely sure of is whether the gifts represent an ongoing stream of updates about a situation in flux or are they all pre-planned and lead to an already determined conclusion. I am leaning towards the former though.

Sooner or later, they would all stray into their sinful habits of old.

If you haven't been keeping up with this thread since day 1 I might just recommend not bothering with the code stuff. IIRC the codes started a long time ago and it would be a massive headache to try to look it all back up now

Like I did today. From start.

Hm... Are you urging to disregard the gifts entirely?

I agree that we have nothing concrete, but I think part of the fun of this thread is stating our guesses. My guess mirrors at least 90% of Eligor's post (#237). The only difference is that I believe it is world-wide sign ups that are due by the end of February, I think the U.S. will see something before then.

At this time my glass is half-full.

Hidden Content:

Later I may discover it is half-full of tears, but for now I'm keeping hope alive.

I don't get what we're arguing about lol

Are you referring to the matter which is hidden from us? If, so, we'd be almost right to say what's being hinted of by these gifts is a process -- an external activity that is happening. The persons involved, and the one sending the information to Gifted could have some guesses of the ultimate outcome of this process, the when and what, but I'm rather skeptical to believe the person has absolute knowledge of such.

Already they stray.
