So taking 498 as a coordinate, it must be for the y-axis, and the x-coordinate is either where a star is located or it might represent a date in order to stay consistent with the significance of 498 (April 1998). I tried the x-ranges of the two stars near y-498, trying x's 78-85 and 165-172, but got no results. So I turned to dates. But straight copying to 10 years later to 408 or 308 does not fit and 38 and 48 return no new result. Likewise, (10, 498) and (31, 498) have no results and any other obvious date formats do not fit the x-axis. So I think either the first coordinate does not have to do with date or both coordinates do have to do with date and the second one isn't 498.

But it's hard to imagine that 498 isn't the y-axis coordinate so I'd suggest people to brainstorm what a significant x-coordinate could be or why the hell the stars wouldn't work.


Well this is all we have to go on at the moment... If all else fails we can just brute force it...

The x-axis must be between 0-400. So can someone write some code to go through each possibility?

If that's not technically possible (fuck if I know!), each person can try 10 then it'll only take 40 people to get through the possibilties. If 498 is indeed a red herring, then weve only wasted 5mins each tbh...

The link is this
http://teamliquid.net/stage.php?0,498
Where "0" is the number that needs to be changed.

To start things off, I just tried 0-20 INCLUSIVE with no result.. :|

I think it's time to break out the tin foil hats
"Oh no, we've drawn Judge Schneider" "Is that bad?" "Well, he's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog" "You did?" "Yeah...if you replace the word *kinda* with *repeatedly*...and the word *dog* with son"

I'm going to laugh if nothing happen at all, or even if you are taking it the wrong way, and if 498 was like some page # or something and not a coordinate.

Astrology
Beginning of the Age of Pisces, according to the astrologers Max Heindel (1865–1919) and Varahamihira (505–587) in Brihat-Samhita.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Pisces#The_Age_of_Pisces
"And then Earthlings discovered tools. Suddenly agreeing with friends could be a form of suicide or worse. But agreements went on, not for the sake of common sense, or decency, or self preservation, but for friendliness."

ARG = 498 under what system?

not leetspeak
not binary/anything related

a substitution cipher allows for only 10 letters

If it's related to the Korean scene, maybe the start of MSL with English commentary?
Or an event like GSI will be done on a regular basis, also inviting a few foreigners if they want to.
Or a proteam consisting of top foreigners... but they'd have to get enough, and there probably aren't that many left who'd want this, are there?

Here's something curious! What kind of shooting star is that?! The sun is facing towards the kid, how can he be looking at shooting stars when the sun is shining in his direction?! he can't see shit! It's a trap!

That would be cool but if that was it, wouldn't it be a lot harder to keep it a secret?

If you use Firefox and Ctrl+A (Select All) at http://www.teamliquid.net/questionmark.html , right click and then View Selection Source.
Whats interessting here is, this part: "style="border: 1px solid rgb(3, 49, 8)"
If you DONT Select All, all you will see is the following: "border: 1px solid #033108"

498 once again, but does the number 3 mean anything?

(You can also just print-screen the page, open it up in mspaint/photoshop, zoom in on the 1px green border around the image and see that it has the RGB-colors 3,49,8 (#033108))

Usefull information? Coincidence? I dont know..

I thought maybe 498 was a user id, but then i noticed you guys sort your threads with ids...i've tried 498, 4984, 49849 <- doesnt work...but then i tried...

nvm, 3498 is nothing

What's the point in trying out these coordinates and sniffing around random urls? Do you think the staffies made that countdown to hype you up and then thought "hey, let's put the big announcement somewhere in a hidden html file so they can find out what's going on BEFORE the countdown ends"?
All you are gonna see until that countdown ends is more unspecific clues and more question marks. Kinda like 'Lost', indeed.
Sorry to spoil the fun but don't waste your time...


Edit: Somebody probably posted that before but the countdown ends at April 1st 00:00 Korean time. So you'd expect this countdown to be something not-so-tl-specific because they probably would have chosen an American timezone. Then again, they might have not.

Hmm if you read in the wiki page provided by samachking, it says a bunch of things about stars aligning in AD 498, star signs and all of that astrology stuff. Anyway it's kind of funny because i seem to remember a thread talking about foreigners in progaming or whatever and naturally people started discussing who out of all the foreigners would make it there. Now if i'm not mistaken INC mentioned something about Testie (i think) is waiting for proper star alignment before he decides to go (a joke obviously).

I know Testie has mentioned numerous times now that he's not going and has quit BW altogether, but it might be someone else or that foreigner proteam or nothing at all and i'll come out looking like a dumbass?
