Title: On Board Cakes
Post by: Feast on Thrones on October 28, 2013, 02:08:16 pm
Happy Birthday Guns Of Icarus community, Muse and the game itself. How excited I am. I know we Gents are all thrilled, especially as the cakes onboard all the ships are in our honour. With the Gent's trademark Top Hat on the top of the Cake, just where it belongs. Our symbol onboard every ship triumphing our great culture. It is great to finally have the recognition from Muse whom we have worked tirelessly with to make this such a great game. We wouldn't be so audacious to take credit for the changes made to the fabulous game; but we humbly accept this token gesture from the Muse team. I hope you all enjoy flying your ships and eating your cake knowing your Gentlemen Guardians are with you in spirit onboard. The Top Hat Cake has immortalised us.

Thank you so much Muse, finally appreciating the tireless efforts by the Gents to bring class into the community. It's been a long year, and we've all be working so hard, and it means more than anything in the world for Muse to congratulate us on our achievement of making the community classier. Thank you Muse on the anniversary of our quest!

the cake is a symbol of the gentlemen? Ridiculous.

this whole event is obviously all about us Cakes. all the happy birthdays going around, the colorful streamers, the cakes with FIRE on them. It couldn't be any more obvious.

Fools all of you!

What is on top of the Cake?

A one.

What clan is consistently on top of the competitive scene.

The Ducks.

What is Muse trying to say?

The Ducks are number one.

Ok lets go through this ...
The cake is on the bottom so it doesnt matter.
What is on top of the cake? A Tophat. And the tophat is the sign of the gents.
And what does the one mean? Obviously that we gents are the number one and will be on top.

Thanks muse for this statement.

Sorry the Top Hat with Glasses, OUR Top Hat. With the number 1 above it! Must be the Gents. It is our symbol, our emblem. I don't see how you could possibly argue against it. I think the fact they are cakes mean that cake get some, a small slice of gratitude from muse, but the majority has to be us Gents. :D

I figured we could just have a lovely party featuring Gents and Cakes as we usually do. *sips* A fine day to both our teams, gentlemen.

Not just any Duck, a Duck with a top hat!

(I really want to find out if that was intentional)

I shared my cakes with the ladies. While flying through the skies. Washing it down with some tea. Great times. <3

Nah, you folks all misunderstood it. Muse is obviously trying to indicate to me that they will soon introduce the cake hat that I have been asking for in the costume thread. The message is all so clear, can't believe how many people got it wrong.  :o

The object is about 85% Cake, 10% top hat, and 5% candle.

Besides, your clan isn't even called [THat], so you only get half of that percent calculation.

Besides, when's the last time you heard "huzzah! It's the GoIO Birthday!"?

Checkmate, Gents.

Ah Ah Ah. Hold on James. I'm not a Gent and I have no stake in this, but there is something you haven't considered.

The clan Cake has taken a symbol known universally as a Birthday thing. The fire/candle is part of that symbol as well. It's called a birthday cake.

Now that there is a birthday happening, the cake is being used to celebrate the birthday as intended. It's required. There is no Birthday without Birthday Cake!

To analogize, it's like taking the turkey as your symbol and saying the Pilgrims honored you by creating Thanksgiving.

The Top Hat however, has nothing to do with birthdays. It's not required. A cake without it would have gotten the message across just fine.

Check. Your move Kirk, ... your move.

Y'all are wrong. No one wears a top hat anymore unless they've been drinking or are from the past. Cakes are for happy or, dare I say, merry occasions. And you all know what this means:

It means I need another drink. This top hat with a party hat strapped to the top still seems ridiculous.

So no one is going with the "Ducks number one theory"

Post by: HamsterIV on October 30, 2013, 02:27:35 pm
Sammy, your argument might be made stronger by pointing out the falling confetti around the cake falls in a V shaped patter from time to time, making an obvious reference to the Duck's formation flying. I claim no special recognition from the Muse folk.

Alright Shadow, I'll bite.

If I made a Clan called [TRKY] (turkey) and talked about Thanksgiving all the time, and Muse said they were doing a Thanksgiving special, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

But if they started putting Turkeys with little hats on all the ships, I would say something.

In this case, the Cake came before the GoIO Birthday.

And just as a cake is representative of a Birthday, a top hat is representative of Steampunk.

No really, Google Image Steampunk.

Lots of top hats.

So, the same argument could be made that, really, this is just a Steampunk representation of the generic item my Clan is based around. 


What if Muse is really not referencing any of us, and just had a generic Steampunk cake in honor of their birthday.


Nahhhhh

Also... Know what cakes leave once you've eaten them? Crumbs. Know what Ducks eat? Breadcrumbs.

Well... They... You know... Had to make it subtle. A loaf of bread would have been far too direct.

This clearly shows that the cakes are supporting the gents otherwise they shall plummet to the ground ;)

They inconspicuously placed cakes on every ship, except for 1.. The Galleon. The ship with the worst overall captain's view. They sneakily put it right in front of the wheel to distract whoever is piloting. Muse is trying to get all Galleon captains killed!

It's a conspiracy to get people to say they need new a ship... Just so Muse Games will have the perfect excuse to release the newest beta ship.


The cake is a hint.  ???
The cake is a lie.  :'(

Upon closer inspection of the cake I noticed it is held together by barrel hoops. The same type of hoops as lest say a whiskey barrel. Perhaps the cake is not a cake but rather a frosted whiskey barrel. Of all the clans that enjoy a good whiskey I can think of none who do so more than the Merry Men. Perhaps this "Cake" is Muse's way of paying tribute to those men among us who have dedicated their GOI play to being merry.

I am not being coerced into saying this  by Zill or Yiski. Nor does that duffel bag full of money I found under the bridge have anything to do with my support of the "Frosted Whiskey Barrel" theory.
