UPDATE 2: Number seven has been revealed. Further changes will be in blue.
Revised observations:
-The identity of number nine is unknown. At this point I can with great confidence say that it is Renon. However, this is an open investigation, so I will not finalize anything.
-There does not appear to be much more to it than the selections being based off of those the anon most closely associates with. And with the reveal of the last two, this holds true.
-In determining the anon, we must look deeper. There are the numbers, the date/time these messages were sent, and the messages themselves.
-Based on others' observations, it would appear that the anon has a good understanding of numerology. As such, each number assigned to the giftees corresponds to some aspects of their personalities, to a degree, as perceived by the anon.
-In addition, the interpretation of the three numbers in a few messages (3, 4, 11) as the date 4/1/13, appears to no longer hold true.
-Conclusion: There is not enough information to make a solid case against someone. Even with everyone revealed, we have only two things to go off of. First, the numbers, as the anon has a good amount of knowledge in numerology. Second, the list of recipients. The anon is someone who knows all of us a great deal. There are only a few people who haven't been gifted who hold true to that statement. Focus on them.
Post-script: Once again, I must state that holding out information does not help anyone. I do not follow numerology, therefore I have almost no knowledge in it. I am sure this is also the case for some other people trying to solve this case. Holding out crucial information slows the investigation, and can end up pointing people in the wrong direction. Everyone has ideas to contribute, and everyone wants to help solve this case. Someone can make use of your contributions as a springboard to help further the investigation, so please contribute. Thank you. Also, sorry for doubting you and keeping you as a suspect, Alice. With the only information I had so far being the list of giftees and the interpretation of the numbers as 4/1/13, it was somewhat easy to connect everything here to your prank, and you were the best lead I had at the time.

One: If I were the anon, I would've done a much harder riddle for you guys to solve. And trust me, I don't make riddles look easy. Two: I don't have enough money to buy twelve people an item from their wishlist. Three: I already did a test, not much of a prank, so I wouldn't have done it anyway.
It's fine. I thought someone had already told everyone that I'm number seven. Guess not.

Why am I not thinking the connection is in the Goodbye thread? Who on the list has posted in the threads about the Barton Scouts? I could be barking up a wrong tree in thinking that is the connection between all of us and the gifter.
