I love the Google translation of some of the comments on that thread, like this one from Thyetus:
"Members countrymen, do not worry do not worry. No boiled rice, vegetables are not washed. We look forward to with patience."
and from other members:
"Look forward to looking forward, hope is a big surprise."
"lurker finally revealed a little wind."
"Support the 1000 hours each night, a statement is not to say Well to hear your views. We all express."
"Feel that the secretive, and in the end what kind of promotion do?
There are back mechanism, appeals to the imagination"
"Let me hasten to leave this for 2 months every day looking forward to a spree SPG"

It is also quite fun to know Thyetus Lee's Chinese name 李俊营.
Lee = 李, 俊 = handsome, 营 = camp/battalion.
The job title of Thyetus also sound extrodinarily which gives a perception of importance I think
喜来登酒店及度假酒店國際集團網絡討論區協調員 which translates to
Sharaton Hotel and Resort Hotel International Group Network Discussion Area Cooperator

"Dear fellow countrymen, father and elders, there is no rush. The rice has not fully cooked. The vegetables has not been washed yet. (implying meal/dinner is not ready as vegetables normally is the last dish to get cooked). Let's us together anticipate patiently."

This thread has clearly generated a lot of buzz. 5 pages with no actual information? That's amazing guys.
We must be hungry for something different!

I'm suddenly craving rice and vegetables.
flyertea.com's thread has 52 posts. So what are the social dynamics on that site, yeunganson? Which hotel do they pick on like the 4P Miami Beach? Who plays the part of Cheap Elite in that forum? Are there any secrets which should be reposted here?

So I am concluding that:
I'm personally looking at 21 stays in July, which all count toward FWN. Curious how they'll stack up for me with this promo! Personally, I'm ready for a promo that doesn't reward hotel hopping. (Like Q1 this year, with 2x/3x/4x points for longer duration stays.)
So I am concluding that:
- There will be different offers for different segments (and we'll all be posting our offer, and jealous that others got better offers, and then people will say it isn't cool to treat customers differently and they are taking their business elsewhere...)
- The "richest" offers are going to go to profiles that historically don't take advantage of the promos.

Yeah, I have been trying to show JFKSFOLAX_friend the ropes around here, but he is such a slow learner. These newbies need lots of help!

At this point the thread is in poor taste, IMHO. And questionable in its motives, too. Either feed us the promo or wait to post until there is info.
