Ensemble Studios (the developers of Age of Empires 2 ) knew that 9/11 was going to happen. The truth is in the taunts.
What are the taunts, you non-AoE players say? If you type in a number from 1 to 42 during a game, different voice clips play so you can ‘taunt’ your enemies or just quickly chat with your team. Lets explore the numbers in question.
If you play the 9th taunt (obviously by entering ‘9’ into the game chat) it plays a sound clip of people saying “ooooooh”. The number 11 plays a laugh.
If we think about these taunts together, we get a crowd of people saying “ooooooh” and then someone laughing. The Taliban laughing at America while they are in shock?
Now, bear with me as I explore these taunts further using advanced mathematical theories. If we add nine and eleven together we get twenty and by entering ‘20’ into the game chat, you get a man saying the following phrase:
“My granny could scrap better than that.”
The word scrap also means ‘fight’. This can be construed as the Taliban taunting America, saying that their collective grandmothers can fight better than the US Army, which one can say holds true to this date as America is still at war in the Middle East.
The flight numbers of the planes that hit the World Trade Center were 11 and 175. Eleven was an obvious choice, wasn’t it? Its the laugh. Now a more complicated question arises. Why 175?
The taunt that plays when a player types in the number 17 is the following voice clip:
“It is good to be the king.”
What countries still have kings? Countries that hold oil. Now, to add in the number five to this web of numbers. The number 5 plays a short clip, simply saying “gold, please”. Oil is known as black gold…a coincidence? The terrorists knew that America was after oil, where were they going to get it all from?
This leads me to a slightly different theory of the number 175. We have already established that 17 is ‘the king’ taunt, and that 5 asks demands ‘gold, please’. The terrorists may have used these numbers (combined to give 175)to emulate how America thought of themselves in the world. 17 being of course ‘the king’, and 5, asking for gold. Some say America went to war the Middle East not to catch bad dudes, but to get oil and more oil (remembering that oil is also known as black gold).
This is as far as my research has gone, but I will be sure to develop more theories, or add on to my current ones. Stay tuned.
