[SPEC] Next Server coming ~August 1st?

[DM]

I actually quite like this theory. It makes a lot of sense. The thing in the recent server video definitely reminded me of a countdown or a control in some way. Like a digital LED control on a stereo almost. But now that I look at that clock, I see a lot familiarity. However, one problem-The clock has all "starting" points at a vertical, North polar. But the one in the video looks completely random. Though judging by it, it looks like things are "growing" out at different speeds from the Southern polar.

Lunar month is 28 days give or take the odd hour.

Probably. I was taught it was 28 days but that knowledge was given to me many moons ago. I still think I am right that the SOTA applications will start on the 15th.

Has it been discussed that this image is just like the face of the spartan revealed in the beta?

I like this theory too, and I agree that it would be much simpler to decode (even if it were not in days/hours/etc.) if they began at a synchronized point. Of course we can still take percentages.

I do the 28/30 days mixup quite often. For reference, most month-judges are roundable to 27 days, but are between 27 and 28. The "most common" definition of lunar month is also the only one roundable to 30 days (none round to 29, and 1 rounds to 28 ). Of course, the thing that makes me mess up is the 28-day human female menstrual cycle (I'm a biomedical engineering student, forgive me!). If you're curious, the second closest cycle length is the female opossum (also 28 days, but if I'm correct slightly farther away).
