Beta Bo Hat?

Discussion in 'Starbound Discussion' started by Emilgardis, May 20, 2013.

    A friend of Gomamon on IRC; Haunt, noticed that the first letter of each sentance in the 19th may daily update, spelled out "BETABOHAT".
    Is this a sign for something? Maybe it's a typo and should be "Beta No Hat"?

    What do you think?

  2. And you guys trying to figure out such thing when it's was a troll, how lovely. ^^
    We can't expect Beta this soon, you really think Beta is released without the Announcement of its Date first? :rofl:

    I think that Tiy's certainly trying to mess with us, judging by the arrangement of the sentences. But I don't think the "BOHATS" or "IBTOHATS" portion means anything.

    I love how people are already theorizing about this.

    I think he wrote it to read as BETA, just to mess with the people who are over analyzing things. It's just too obvious and hilariously evil. :p

    Did you notice that Tiy used letters from the alphabet to write the update?
    Do you know what can also be spelled with letters from the very same alphabet?
    "Beta tommorow" <- pure magic:sarcasm:

    It sure is magic how they keep on pulling these beta threads out their ears.

    Sleight of hand! Heres some common sense!

    Tiy did say that he was going to troll us on this progress update by starting the first four paragraphs with the spelling letters of BETA :p

    You are getting close to something! I can sense it! Keep up your detective work!

    Yeah, we on IRC first thought that was the case, then everyone said BETABOHAT, because we saw the sentence with the H.

    Ach, oh no. Why did i see this thread. It's too strange for my brain to just ignore it, so now there is me hoping again. Its probably some kind of coincidence or maybe just a joke, BUT MAYBE... its more. This will bug me for days now. Thank you OP, give me sleepless nights man.

    Allow me to add to the conspiracy theory. It's the least I can do for trolling purposes.

    Beta - Well, we all know what that means in relation to Starbound.

    Bo - When you hear this you may think it sounds like a "southern boy" name from the States. According to the internet, though, it is also a Danish name which means commander. It is derived from old Norse nickname bua, which means to live.

    Then there's hat, which is something you put on your head. It also has a (slang I think) meaning of someone who serves multiple roles in the place they work.

    So, we can take this to mean that the Beta lives in your hat. Might want to think about that next time you go to cover up that thinning hairline.

    Either that, or that the Beta serves multiple purposes. Not only will the Beta give us a fun game to play, but it's also has a hidden purpose and is the Command project in Tiy's scheme to take over the world.
