The Gifts of StarCraft 2

[GnaReffotsirk]

Agreed. Now, what do we have?

1000 refers either to a reading/benchmark (latency?) or an amount of something (installed copies/servers), or both.

Mass installation is self evident.

Wow! may just refer to "WoW" or a sense of astonishment.

Eight Pizzas is most cryptic, and is counted as two gifts.

Energizer Bunnies apparently refers either to effort put in by the team during crunch time or perhaps something of a technical nature.

Rescheduled...? we have agreed means that Beta or a Meeting or Announcement is rescheduled to an earlier date.


*Happy dance* is self evident.

Saturday Works may mean either simply mean that it's crunch time and the team works even during Saturdays or that some results received or tests performed during this Saturday were positive.

32ms is cryptic, possibly of a technical nature. Someone proposed it to be 3/2 - March second, but I'm not convinced.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

How this looks to me is that you're actually trying to define what those are. That's where we began. That's the "defining the god factor" we're trying to avoid here.

But I rather not dismiss your assumptions on those thoughts. These actually are the things with which we derive statements of, which are our guesses or say, belief in the matter. You have all the right to believe them or discredit them in your own terms.

Now, when we cross this road, we absolutely find it an absurd thing. We just can't say exactly what those gifts mean. We can guess though, and so from our guesses we can make a general idea (or feel) of what shapes and shadows those things draw in each of our minds.

So, to address those things again means we're going in circles. So, I propose, that instead of hammering those ideas down to what they exactly are, we instead focus on what inspired thoughts we have out of those, and from our interactions.

Of course the ultimate truth of those gifts will become the judges of our guesses (or inspired thought). But that's something we cannot have as of now.

So, instead of being locked in circles of trying to decipher what we cannot possible decipher, and we will eventually have clarification of in time, let's find out what we've been inspired to have in our minds. Those ideas, feels, beliefs.

We don't have to have proof of them. We don't need to validate them. What we will have is an idea of what our minds have been inspired to have.

And from having a collection of our guesses, we can then have something which we can then (sort of) bet on over its absolute validity, or closeness to truth when the second coming happens.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Blizzard...

THE WORD!

Sorry I just couldn't help it

The problem is that we're not exactly sure that's what they mean, there's another summary of the gift's on the OP and we must also take into account all the "coded" info given to us by Gifted along all the thread.
We can even say that we shouldn't be lookin into the gift's but onto the psychological aspect as archer said, but I'm just lost right now in the middle of so much speculation

That's to a great extent what Gifted's quotation of KDraconis' post at the beginning is, a reference to small inferences (most of them, at least). I think Archer's psychological aspect ties into that.

And so we are exactly where we were oh so many posts ago. Either


1) Its Beta. In which case we have no way of knowing until Blizzard announces it. And we have to wait just like all the other Beta rumours.

OR

2) Its something other than Beta. In which, case regardless of what it is, Gifted's become the biggest troll ever on SCL. Oh and we also wont know what it is until its announced.






The important thing to realize is that Gifted must have known before starting this that there were only two outcomes.

Archer finally figured it out, there announcing World of Warcraft 2

Exactly. And there's no harm in that. Why? It's all we can get having restricted ourselves to the most reasonable connections of those words and their possible meaning to our concerns and plainly because we have no further gifts we can use.

The more gifts, will eventually narrow our speculation down at least to a more reasonable one, that is if we keep to the context of the subject we are investigating.

This I'm not saying to agree with you on those obviously in a joke tone stuff you just threw back there boss.

Pretty much. I do think Gifted confirmed with his hints that whatever it is, things are going very well indeed. Which IS some news. And yes, I do think it's most likely Beta.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, WoW accounts were merged with Battle.Net back in November, right?

If that's the case than at least I'll be thankful for him giving us something to do for a while, as far as I remember there hadn't been this much discussion since the last battle reports and the sunset of the macro mechanics threads

Yes the activity is exciting. But dont forget spychi who started all this.
