There are currently multiple proposed formats for this page:
| author1 = Budahas (917)
| message1 = Seriously, what the Founder was that thing in the sky? We all saw that, right? I didn't accidentally turn on Sleep Mode while Herman was talking, did I? (I mean it's always tempting...)
| author2 = Letitia (824)
| message2 = No, we all saw it.
| author3 = Zagoran (211)
| message3 = Can confirm.
| author4 = Ovis (909)
| message4 = I believe it was a sign from the Founder! What else could it be, on this day of all days?
| author5 = Zagoran (211)
| message5 = Pretty incoherent for a sign. It didn't even finish whatever it was trying to say. What, does the Founder have energy insufficiency problems too?
| author6 = Thecla (862)
| message6 = The Founder works in mysterious ways.
}}


At this point the player is given two options:
* [[WTF was that? (Bulleted)]] - not interactive at all
# Maybe it really was a sign.
* [[WTF was that? (Bulleted with Spoilers)]] - doesn't work! (Template:Spoiler can't be nested)
# I don't think it was a sign.
* [[WTF was that? (Bulleted with Collapsibles)]] - looks very nice, but requires writing ''lots'' of <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><ul></nowiki></code> tags by hand
* [[WTF was that? (with Collapsibles)]] - requires source editor instead of visual editor, but code is fairly simple

| author1 = 1k (1000)
| message1 = Maybe it really was a sign.
| author2 = Ovis (909)
| message2 = Thank you, 1k. I'm glad you see it that way. We must remain open [to] the possibility of miracles.
| author3 = Zagoran (211)
| message3 = In what possible way could that garbled mess have been a sign?

In response, the player can select
1. Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle.
2. A sign of life. Not necessarily something intentional, but a sign.
3. I don't know, but there's something intelligent out there.

| author1 = 1k (1000)
