Now the calendar event says:

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And 100 has made all the difference.


Note that the last line should read
"And THAT has made all the difference."

498:
April 9th 2008?

Also, that is a lot of Average Posts Per Day and Average Posts Per Week for someone who only posted 3 posts in total.

its because whoever made the account, made the 3 posts in 1 day, therefore it's taking the average assuming more is to come. If you keep hitting refresh, the #'s shrink

I just noticed that there is a "Ambition" user featured in the Team Liquid Gallery, when you click it you are directed to the ???? mystery page.

Makes me think that this is really about 1 person rather than a big project.

Good find. If you click on his name, you are taken to a TL profile.

Either that or someone at TL knows the exact time of the Rapture. That would be the perfect time for it! We heathens would wake up and see everyone mising and would sit around waiting for the "April Fools!"

Haha wtf?! when i wrote that post and clicked on the Ambition user it wasn't there and just said "No user with that name blalbab" or something, either somebody saw my post and thought it would be fun to just add that user and just fuck with everyone or it's actually something they planned all along.

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.. :|

Here's the entire row for y=498 -> http://download.yousendit.com/645B22900265DDBD
However, I think that 498 means 4/98, which is april 1998, so I think the row we need to be looking at is 408, that is april 2008.
so here's the entire row for y=408 -> http://download.yousendit.com/6598A60B646F209B

edit: just did a quick count of "Ambition2" in each file and it appears 402 times in both, meaning that the image doesn't change for either row

Hmm... I guess then there's nothing special about this. It's just a much much bigger celebration for SC's 10th year anniversary. :S

Difference of 100.
498 = 199 + 299

199,299 leads to http://teamliquid.net/021.html

I'd like to brag about figuring it out from the clues but I just wrote a dirty PERL script to try out all the combinations. >.>

LOL 50 lost temples
Is that the only combo that leads anywhere?
