Gift Guesses Gift #9: The Coolest Gift!

At last, the day has come. A time of chaos and despair, of rumours and whispers, and of doom sayers and hoaxes.

You thought I was talking about the apocalypse? You were gravely mistaken.

What I was describing to you was none other than the infamous ROBLOX forums (LMaD to be exact); which usually goes berserk when there is certain big gift to be opened and a certain user is online. Of course, I am talking about the famed Coolest Gift - the 'big' gift of this year's giftplosion.

There are many rumours drifting around regarding the contents of this glorious artefact, but only one theory can be correct and it is my job to identify the most prominent of them.

Theory 1: 

Still popular among the ROBLOX population is the prediction that the gift will contain the Black Iron Domino Crown which is a community created hat  by none other than SharpTH - the very talented graphic designer who likes to spend his time in leisurely jacuzzis while creating works of pure genius. This was also the theory favoured back in October with the Halloween 'big gift'. I also succumbed to the desire of acquiring this legendary item and so published it as my prediction.

Of course, I was wrong and the 2nd Halloween Dominus named the Dominus Vespirato was released (I should have seen this coming). But the theory still remains.

The rumour began on a forum owned by John Shedletsky, called 'Ironnoob'. On the ROBLOX section of the forum, a user named SharpTH - a well known ROBLOXian, posted a cake hat he had produced with 3DS Max (3D modelling software). He then went on to show John Shedletsky a new Domino Crown hat he had made, complete with a new mesh and texture. The pictures of which can be seen below:

The real interesting part however, is what John Shedletsky did next. On the second page of the Ironnoob thread, he posted:




This proves that John did indeed acquire the files for the Black Iron Domino Crown so ROBLOX artists could upload it to the catalog and use it as a gift. What makes it more likely for it to be at Christmas however is that for the past two Christmases, ROBLOX have released 2 Domino Crown retextures. First of all the Red Domino Crown and the Bluesteel Domino Crown. And in releasing a third they would be keeping in line with their Christmas tradition.


Theory 2:

The second theory is that the mysterious item lying within the gift box is perhaps an Ice Crown retexture. This would be hinted at with the gift's name and texture and would depart from ROBLOX's Domino Crown tradition - a much appreciated step many users would state. The retexture could be of red design, similar to the Crimsonwrath Conqueror of Kingdoms model created by Darkgenex:

**EDIT**

Inside the gift:

Both these theories were incorrect again.A very unexpected item actually came out of the Coolest Gift. It is of course the Dual Illumina - two of the ridiculously powerful weapon from SFOTH dual wielded for the user's enjoyment. I didn't see this coming. The forums didn't see this coming. Nobody saw this coming. It is a pleasant surprise to many users who will be relieved that it is not another Domino Crown. A review of this item will be coming later this weekend.
