I would turn it into the answer swarm instead of lurkers.

I would think of this section of insects. First thing that comes to my mind from this is a grass and ants. Hidden within the grass there is an ant hill. As it says grave it makes me think its been destroyed, and then past it is 5 surviving ants. Ants tend to "swarm" which is move about in small groups.


splash! bash, o' old pond.
in the pond, there is a frog,
example of me,
and a red herring.


That section there brings your attention to a new piece of scenery. This case being a pond. Insects typically swarm around ponds a frog would jump to eat them, and the example of the red herring screams out the actual fish, fish tend to swarm.

So rather than say the answer is lurkers, Say the answer is swarm. I don't think I'm right, but it could be.

Kicking here, obviously you're enjoying the streams and whatnot and thus think the game is good
Enough to warrant wasting all your time begging for a key, why do you need more than those streams
To enjoy the beta? My friend Ordrlychaos was able to do a bunch of theory crafting without a key.

Yeah the game's pretty gosu though, no lies. I'm a fucking great terran, got over 1800 elo with ease,
While you guys are crying about getting a key rofl! Even my protoss is pretty great, raping platinums

4 day. Strategy takes a little more time, but just following the streams and threads should be
Good enough really. Everything is changing so fast that you're not gonna be that behind, surpress your
X-chromosome a bit you fags. Look at the latest patch, pretty big changes, and it's still only beta!
8 days after release and the game will probably feel completely different, beta experience won't help.

You'd really be better off just going and playing broodwar to practice your skills. There's still like
8000 people or even over 9000 playing on iccup still. Think about all the progamers still practicing
There? The korean scene is still largely stuck in broodwar, now's your chance to play them with the
8000+ rated guys mostly on starcraft2.

Please stop being so pathetic about begging for a key. What would you even do with a key? Be a total

How childish you guys are is the real problem. All of my tips would only work on someone more than
6 years old, someone mature and rational, and if you were either of those things, you wouldn't cry beta.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating giving up on the game. I think the game is great, it's really fun,
But just saying you shouldn't be so fixated on getting a beta key. Be glad when you do get one, not a

It's a Crocodile or Alligator lol
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

as a note,

answer is the letter "o"

Almost past the grave,
is where you'll find five of me;
I'm unforgiving.
splash! bash, o' old pond.
in the pond, there is a frog,
example of me,
and a red herring.

Five o's past the "grave" ie period.


and

our more hints: it's no goodbye,
dissect this reply,
punctuation lies,
and dont be fooled by the rhymes.
guess now. what am I?

4 o's past the word goodbye which it says its not.
