Talk:Something Special For Someone Special

Robin's getting married? *trollface* Problem 17:01, 19 December 2011 (PST)

He found a special someone whose love of hats matched his. Just a Gigolo - (talk) 17:04, 19 December 2011 (PST)

My theory is this: Someone's making a TF2-based marriage proposal. L4D2 and Portal 2 have been used in the past, with the one in Portal 2 having Ellen McLain, the voice of GLaDOS and the Administrator making custom lines. We shall see. Sven 18:33, 19 December 2011 (PST)

What could this mean?

A diamond engagement ring...in TF2?! Either this is something REALLY big or some promo item for a dating sim that's coming to Steam or something. What do you think this means? Are Pyro and Engineer going to get married? Is one of the TF2 staff getting married? Is Valve going to officially add female character skins to the game and introduce them as the brides of our favorite TF2 mercs?! Blk Mage Ctype 18:27, 19 December 2011 (PST)

I have a feeling that this will end up being like the Top Notch, whereas this item is only being added so that someone can propose to their significant other. I wouldn't count on it being publicly available, and the fact that it's apparently gift-wrappable just adds to the obvious nature of this item being a single-purpose item for someone to use in a proposal. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 18:34, 19 December 2011 (PST)

Interesting. It'd be pretty cool to get engaged in TF2. :P -an incoherent rambling by iamtehlolrus 19:08, 19 December 2011 (PST)

I wonder if there will be an achievement linked to this item? I wonder if they will allow gay marriage? Zachary 16:44, 21 December 2011 (PST)

Am I the only one, who expect something like this? Limie Pie 11:13, 20 December 2011 (PST)

I'm confused. Sven 13:47, 20 December 2011 (PST)

Translation: "I think this will be sold in the Mann Co. Store, and I have written a slightly incomprehensible blurb for it if it were to be done in this manner. However, this is not yet factual, and is simply my own expectations written out." No, this is not from the store, it's just a blurb "Limie Pie" thinks would fit the item. We still don't know if it will be available in the store or not. Sinez 05:55, 21 December 2011 (PST)

The page already says "crafting item" suggesting another editor already knows it will be craftable and therefore nothing to do with store bought? (At least not exclusively) --Casperr 14:57, 21 December 2011 (PST)

The GCFfiles say that it is a crafting item. 15:01, 21 December 2011 (PST)

Here's the info from items_game.txt:

    "699"
    {
         "name"	"Something Special For Someone Special"
         "first_sale_date"	"2011/12/19"
         "capabilities"
         {
              "nameable"		"1"
              "can_gift_wrap" 	"1"
         }
         "item_class"	"craft_item"
         "show_in_armory"	"1"
         "item_type_name"	"#TF_Wearable_Ring"
         "item_name"	"#TF_SomethingSpecial"
         "item_description"	"#TF_SomethingSpecial_Desc"
         "image_inventory"	"backpack/player/items/all_class/something_special"
         "image_inventory_size_w"		"128"
         "image_inventory_size_h"		"82"
         "item_quality"	"unique"
         "min_ilevel"	"100"
         "max_ilevel"	"100"
         "attributes"
         {
              "cannot trade"
              {
                   "attribute_class"	"cannot_trade"
                   "value"				"1"
              }
         }
         "mouse_pressed_sound"	"ui/item_metal_scrap_pickup.wav"
         "drop_sound"		"ui/item_metal_scrap_drop.wav"
    }

The interesting thing is that the item is listed as "TF_WearableRing", and the "Wearable" part makes me think this may be a Miscellaneous item, as most things that are labelled as "TF_Wearable" are things like the Gunboats, Chargin' Targe, Ali Baba's Wee Booties, etc. It's nameable, and gift-wrappable, but not tradable. It also has a first sale date listed as 2011/12/19, yet it's not in the store (is it?) 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 15:09, 21 December 2011 (PST)

Being a craft item doesn't exclusively mean it can be obtained by crafting. At the moment the availability part of this article is incorrect, I am changing it back to "Unknown". Yes it is a craft item, no as far as we know it cannot be found by crafting itself. seb26 18:56, 23 December 2011 (PST)

This. This is why you're the man, seb. I was actually thinking this same thing before I reverted that edit, but I didn't know whether or not to switch it to like, "N/A" or something. But yeah, thanks for clarifying things seb :D 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 19:14, 23 December 2011 (PST)

Critical Failure Gamers Union

Seeing as I'm in this group, I would be the one to tell you. Our founder, Kalen/Hank proposed to Liz/Landshark about a week before the item was added into the game. We're probably one of the largest TF2 groups on Steam with over 1000 members. We, CFGU, are currently unsure of why this was added, but we suspect it was Hank's doing. This may clear something or other up. Dustin681 20:26, 23 December 2011 (PST)

Brilliant revelation there if it turns out to be the reason the ring is in the game :) Congratulations to them both either way! One thing that still confuses me is why it is listed as a craft item though! Oh well, I'm sure time will tell Casperr 08:06, 24 December 2011 (PST)

Actually, CFGU isn't "one of the largest groups in the game". Hells Gamers, if I remember correctly, has over 100,000 members. SLAG Gaming has around 18,000. And there are plenty of other non-Official Game-groups that have over 10,000 members. CFGU is like, in the lower 9th percentile of large groups. I've never even heard of them until this message, but I'm going to check out the group. It sounds cool. (This of course obviously sounds like nitpickery/random babbling on my part, but I just felt like dropping some knowledge, yo) Onto the item. I doubt Valve would have added this item in a week after the guy already proposed. Chances are, this item is meant for some other person who is going to propose, and who's girlfriend plays TF2 but hasn't seen any info on this item yet. Otherwise, the aspect of surprise is just out the window. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 08:35, 24 December 2011 (PST)

Valentine's Day

Just a theory, but has anyone noticed that Template:W is in a few weeks? Valve hasn't really done much in the past, but this could be for some event around then. Or not. ~ RedXM T • C • S 18:04, 25 January 2012 (PST)

Speculation is best left to the forums. We won't say it is because of coincidence. Fyahweather 18:27, 25 January 2012 (PST)

Not to brag or anything, but I was right! The ring is to be released on Valentine's Day! ~ RedXM T • C • S 16:01, 14 February 2012 (PST)
