Original Thread: Team EG mystery Announcement

Post to MODS: If this turns into Hi-jacking the other thread then please close it. I just want a place to keep all the information in without the clutter (A bit OCD).


My very own LR of the Beast (will update every 5 to 10 pages I read over again, hopefully I don't go braindead).
+ Show Spoiler +

Page 1 - Overhyped, announcement of an announcement meme, inception reference and skepticism.
Page 2 - Already posts about a "Big Brother" type reality show...everything from Greg being locked in a basement to him crying about Titanic. Someone with a random dream foreshadowing events and only 2 people who care about the deciphering messages and squinting to see what it says on the wallpaper of EG/Unknown.
Page 3 - The first jab at EG comes from the one and only Talin (he Crusades against EG the entire thread), more predictions, Donnie Darko reference, people thinking it could not be related to SC2 at all.
Page 4 - EG.Bisu comes out for the 1st of 1 million times. Greg will either be "sacked" or he is going to be a father...maybe both. Incontrol cuts his hair, they might unveil a new sight and the first party pooper asks if people aren't already bored of this shit yet.
Page 5 - Another jab at EG, "New PR team", the 2nd this is dull and stupid comment, another league popping up? "Stealing" the FD and Tester from ST. EG winning something would be a shock...
Page 6 - EG jab by floor exercise saying lower your expectations about EG winning something. Bandwagon effect is kicking in, "what have they won". Someone suggests they got a new toilet for the EG house. Someone finally brings drama that Kennigit posts on Reddit.
Page 7 - Weather announcement. They are switching to golf because they suck at SC2. CatZ brings up the weirdness of the Huk IdrA handshake and suggests Sheth celebrated after being Huk which is/was a TL member. Someone is tired of clocks. Chill feels like a hamster having to meet everyones demands, do puzzles figure out the hieroglyph, travel to Egypt and search a sarcophagus .
Page 8 - Someone already hasn't read the first 7 pages and pasts what the background of the image says, somehow everyone is nice and patient at this point. Also, people guess EG. (Insert name of infamous cheesy player that IdrA hates).



EDIT: If anything relevant comes up or if you believe there is something that I've skipped over, please PM and we'll straighten it out.

I am attempting to gather the facts in a blog post because the original poster of the topic has been gone for some time and I'm getting sick of trying to decipher cryptic messages along with the trolls that act like a new audio clip came out an hour after it originally did and post "I think you need to play it backward" TROLOLOLOL.

Anyway, if someone wants to help with getting all the stuff together or the timeline I would appreciate it. Right now I'm doing it alone.

Answer is: Huk

Seceond sentence: k, now you got it!! = K

Because the same stuff keeps getting recycled lately, here's a summary:

* There is text scribbled into the background of MyEG.net/unknown. (Easy-to-view version)
Each piece of text says:
+ Show Spoiler +
--- "The face of the light"
--- "One more game, just one more game"
--- "Two face, two face, two face"
--- "I will not GG..."
--- "For the fans"


* The aforementioned text closely identifies with the following subjects:
+ Show Spoiler +
--- The face of the light: White-Ra (Egyptian Sun God)
--- One more game, just one more game: OneMoreGame.tv
--- Two face, two face, two face: To Face
--- I will not GG: IdrA
--- For the fans: Showmatch



* In the javascript source code for the site, the web author's name was discovered on the 2nd line.
+ Show Spoiler +
--- Upon searching for this Author on Facebook, his location was revealed as Egypt.
--- The source has since been edited to display, "@author keep lookin..."


* Curiously, the following script which controls the countdown timer is written in Polish:
+ Show Spoiler +
--- var dzien=16;
--- var miesiac=8;
--- var rok=2011;
--- var godzina=12;
--- var minuta=00;
--- var sekunda=00;
--- var d = new Date(rok, (miesiac-1), dzien, godzina, minuta, sekunda, 0);
--- var curent = new Date();
--- var mili=d.getTime()-curent.getTime();
if(mili>0)



* EG.LectR PM'd several TeamLiquid members with links to various YouTube links, accompanied with the messages, THEY SHALL JOIN TOGETHER and THEY SHALL NEVER FORGET.#@)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))).
+ Show Spoiler +
--- One was a Lord of the Rings scene, where Gandalf the White commands reinforcements from the East.
--- Another was a Johnny Cash song: Folsom Prison Blues.


* EG.LectR bumped the fan-club threads for every single member of Team EG. He has since been banned.

* When Heosat was asked to confirm/deny whether or not HuK was joining EG, he said he was not at liberty to comment. He removed this post soon after.

* Several key community figures who know what the announcement is, have suggested that there will be some form of community backlash.
+ Show Spoiler +
--- Kennigit: "Some massive drama is going to go down in about a week which people have known for months."
--- FXO.BoSs: "A new protoss player is my guess.... Maybe huk or sase."
--- Mr Bitter: "As someone that knows what it is, I can assure you all, this announcement may cause internet implosion."
--- Heosat: Wwhat I can say is this: it is the first item of a chain of news items. Sadly not all the items are good news. "
--- GenoZStriker: "Find the four horsemen and you'll perhaps find your answer."


I think that pretty much sums up everything so far... it's hard to say which elements are red herrings and which are substance.


EDIT: Included the Johnny Cash song, thanks Andrew2658.


Audio Clips:

#1
neca eos omnes deus suos agnoscet.mp3" - “Kill them all, God will know His own.”
This phrase references a French crusade.

* The first (of 5) MP3 has been revealed on the site. It contains recordings of two matches, commentated by various community figures, in between the sounds of waves crashing.
+ Show Spoiler +
--- Game 1 is HuK vs HasuObs from TSL3.
--- Game 2 is HuK vs QXC from Day9 Daily #262.



#2
nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.mp3 -
"There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften."

Talks about a Special Tactics Squadron and Advanced Skills Training (AST)

SOTG - Special Tactics original story (might have nothing to do with announcement)


Song at the end is: The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian.

DJ Wheat & Rance (The whistling part of the song)

an IM player GG'd out early so Mr. Chae was joking that he should change his name to IMIdrA.

To be honest, I dont see why everyone is going crazy over this. If we had to discover the answer, I would be more interested but we're all gonna find out in 8.5 hours so I dont see the big deal.

Everyone is arguing and wasting time going on a treasure hunt when the treasure is coming right to them.

Jinro is so very respectable.

On another note prepare for what is very likely to be disappointing due to over-hype. Of course it would be nice if this wasn't the case.
