After over a year of waiting, we can now check the previous year's predictions. Discuss HERE only 2012's predictions, be it your own or others and whether they were right or wrong.

Last year's prediction for me was quite short. Here's the rundown:
As it stands today, I don't think jeff has a girlfriend
596.. Close enough
Not yet...
*sniff*
<looks at Aayrl>
Well, the spam board is certainly lively!
Spoiler: We did.
............ Does Minecraft count?
Thought about it... Never really found anything else to go do, so I'm still here.
Over-analyzation of my shortest prediction post yet: Complete

As far as I know of, I still have a WR I think, or 2, I don't remember. I barely play MBG or MC and RF became the #1 game I play. I'm only level 78 now though, so I guess I'm playing alot less than I realize.

Let's see... - Project Revolution will be released and will be nearly as popular as MBP was. ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah NOPE - MBFubar will still not be released. Correct! - PQ will not be released, but at least two more updates will be posted. We did release a few Feature Spotlights this year. - At least three new noob mods will be started, and one of them will end up being successful. HappyRoll is the only mod I can think of. Whether or not it will be successful remains to be seen. - There will be a second MBP world record rampage. Unfortunately no. - At least two new active members will join, and at least one currently active member will leave. MegaMarbler and blastedmarble joined, but Marblefire did leave us. - The forum staff will remain the same. Not even close - we have Admin, Global Moderators, and Moderators now instead of the Council and Junior Council. Plus Marblefire and Oaky were removed as staff members for their inactivity. - There will be a huge scandal/flame war between several members that creates much drama. The only one I can think of is the one that resulted in Kwill15 ragequitting the forums (and I hope he does return soon). - Pablo will finally pass Matan in post count. Nope (although it may have occurred at some point during the year). - Technostick and Xelna will return. Xelna yes, Technostick no. - I will have graduated college, gotten my Bachelor's degree and gone on to get my Master's degree. Yes, yes, and yes! - The New England Patriots will get their long-awaited fourth Super Bowl championship. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- - The Boston Bruins will win their second consecutive Stanley Cup. Nope. - Apple will come up with some revolutionary new product. Nope, just updates to its existing software and products (iPad mini, iOS 6, OS X Mountain Lion, etc) - The world will not end. We're all still here reading these, aren't we?

Incorrect! Also incorrect. But then again, I was homeschooled a majority of the year, so I set my expectations too high. This actually did not happen, though in reality it's my fault. Most definitely yes! No; infact, the whole project was cancelled indefinitely. I, no. Not even close, funny enough... Eh, well, not as much as I'd like, to say the least. I'm saving for a lot of things, but I don't really have much more than I did last year, so, this prediction is more incorrect than not. I got a new laptop, but since I can't actually do what I want to on it, this prediction is also incorrect. I'm after a new desktop. Correct! Eh, well, no, really. I did get some new instruments, but as of yet I don't know how to play them. (yet)

Post by IsraeliRD on Jan 1, 2013 23:25:44 GMT
Marble Blast & Forums related:
- Forums will achieve 8,750 topics or more, 160,000 posts or more, and the member rate will continue to decline. We'll have 2,650-2,675 members. The members per day will be 20-50, and rarely go out of these bounds. As for myself, I will reach 2,300 PMs and 12,750 posts or more. Pablo should surpass me in post count this year.I got the forum topics right (8,811) and the posts (yesterday was 160,24x) but obviously barely. The member rate indeed declined but we opened registeration so member count became 2,653 (yesterday obviously) so that was close. Members per day is spot on and didn't get out of these bounds. I now have 2,430 PMs but got 12,450 posts (dang). - My activity will decline, but I will remain in PQ without any problems. That said, the current team will either not change or will have new staff members. 1-2 members may quit.I think activity either stayed the same or did decline, and indeed stayed in PQ. Current team did have a member quit (sorta) and got new staff (Jeff/HiGuy -- but they're for MBP for now). - Despite seemingly in reach, PQ will not be released in 2012, but will be confirmed for 2013. PQ will have three new feature spotlights (at least one will make people shocked) as well as a 2nd trailer and a demo release. PQ remains the most anticipated mod.Correct for not releasing in 2012, and I actually can't say 2013. It's a possibility. Spotlights were correct (sadly #5 didn't get as much reaction as I hoped, but #3 got a ton of shock so that works out), did not get trailer or demo (too slow of progress :/) and correct on last point. - Project Revolution and Marble Blast Fubar will be released, and another mod will either release a demo build or a full version. Most mods will try and complete/release before PQ gets out and steals the spotlight permanently.PR died, MBFubar didn't (it seemed close as well halfway through the year!). Nothing on the mods as they died mainly, slowed down on progress a ton and MBElite wants to release after PQ for some reason - MBP progress MIGHT resume, and if it does, Windows will be upgraded to 1.20 at the least. Mac update MIGHT happen.It did resume, but windows 1.20+ didn't release and it's being unified with Mac so really both platforms are being updated. - LotY 2011 dies, and LotY 2012 will take place instead thanks to better level designCorrect on 2011, but no LotY 2012. - PF updates the 2012 released levels sporadically, with at least two main updates. CLA itself gets updates.No updates on anything. Screw you PF - A few more people will quit and come back due to the mods releasing.Not sure. People did quit and came back but not due to mods. - SDA releases the MBG Update. A MBG Speedrun Update #4 will be in progress.Yes and not really but sort of - Forum staff lineup will change. Can't tell how as I dunno, but it will be.Yes. Marblefire/Oaky removed due to inactivity (MF even deleted his account just before capsule was posted!). We also changed the lineup, as it's now admin, global moderators and moderators. - At least two members will be banned.Jeff reminded me I banned Ralphiboy so this is 1/2, but still wrong - At least 250 levels will be released in total for 2012.No idea. Don't think so anyways. I'll take it as a no unless PF says otherwise - I will make Lonestar create a time capsule for the forums much ahead of timeNot really I forgot all about this until Andrew reminded me about the Time Capsule like a week before and then I had to make Sam do it and he only did it like two-three days before the due date and finished a day before lol. - Seizure will finally cannon.cs- Xelna will shock everyone in some wayYES! MBG WRR3 sort of counts, but also his 11 MBG runs at the end of the year and probably other stuff he's done. - Something massive will happen in the MB worldNope, or at least we're not aware of it. - and a followup: I might be forced to take a leave of absence for a number of months, or quit completelyDid not happen, but should add this for 2013. ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Wrong: 797 videos, 3.4m views, 863 subscribes (coz YT removed like 60+) - Wrong: 535,000 video views, 78 comments, 89 likes, 31 dislikes - Correct on most 87,000 views, 333 comments, 202 likes, 18 dislikes (missed that one by 2, which is probably a good thing) ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Correct, sadly - Yes, still not sure if was worth it - Nope for photo, but it did get moved from its current place - Nope for books, maybe for movies (saw one or two but not sure if 3) - I did consider and I still do sometimes, but did not buy - Correct, sadly ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Correct, sadly - Nope - Nope, still at... 22%? - Nope to most, but the current movies are still 6.0+ - Indeed not complete... but I'm RESTARTING IT LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL so maybe that's the "feeling near the end" ? - Did not do anything, and indeed game not be finished to be speedran - The best kind of did not happen. No arguments or blockings with Andrew on MSN in 2012. Awesome. - Well yes, I did play for a while much more than previous, but then stopped. - More than 5, so yes - No. It got cancelled in favor of a regular "Command & Conquer" which uses Generals 2 elements. Do not plan to get. - Yes! Love this position and I extended it a bit further to handle screenshots on the site. - Nope, and honestly in February or so I gave up when I understood the requirements and that they weren't friendly or seemed to have wanted even help.

Let's see.. MB Predictions; Hehehe...nope Do Beta Builds count? No =] Not sure if I count as the 'public' or if Featured Spotlights count. I think I know a bit more than I should =] Yay, it's going to be in the MBDK! Yay, we can all have Multiplayer now? Yay, they're working for PQ? Honestly, no idea what 'project' I was referring to. Well...Tons of people joined due to Happy-Roll...not sure if that counts for this. Marblefire returned [sorta], not sure if that counts either. Certainly no Seizure 2.0s =[ Secretly, yes. Publicly, no. There was talk, but instead we have 'Admin', 'Global Moderator', and 'Moderator'. Not allowed to comment on that one.
Real World Sadly, there were tons of shootings in the month of December. They may or may not be related to the Mayan Calendar, but look, we're still here! Skype Calls do not count, so no. =] I spent two weeks in beautiful Bermuda and met some of my friends on the island, it was a glorious vacation! Gary Johnson 2012! Woo. Shockingly, I did not even get sick this year. Woohoo! Well, as a result of TV sucking so bad, we did in fact drop one off of the top of our office complex for funsies, but I dropped my streaming Netflix subscription because it's full of crap, too. DvD all the way! Holy no. I somehow managed to get back into Everquest. How did you do that, Sony? You have no idea. I'd say MBF Beta Builds and the release of our WebComic series is a great start, but there is so much more to offer in 2013

There's an AMD member that registered on October 31, 2012 - but no posts, so I cannot confirm nor deny his programming abilities via the forums. HENCE, my prediction follow-ups hold true ~Aayrl

Marble Blast predictions:
I will get one new World Record in MBG or MBP. Yes. Mountaintop Retreat (8.89).
I will release one new No Gems Compilation from mods other than the original MBG or MBP (not counting DC). No. I haven't even played any mods other than MBP.
After 2012, I will almost never be playing Marble Blast. No. In fact, you could almost say things are just getting started….
Computer technology predictions:
We will see a die photo of at least one Haswell chip. Yes. The mainstream 4-core variant.
NVIDIA will release the entire "GK10x" Kepler line. Yes. The order was GK104 and GK107, then GK106.
AMD will update their high-end GPU (currently Tahiti/79x0). Sort of. No new chip, but there was the minor update, the 7970 GHz Edition, and the even smaller update, the 7950 Boost Edition. Oh yeah, there was also the Tahiti variant of the 7870.
Larrabee (in the Knights Corner iteration) will be released. Yes. Well, essentially. The 3000 and 5000 series of Xeon Phi chips (Knights Corner's brand name) were announced in November. Some of those variants were shipping right away, but others won't be actually released until early this year.
Real World predictions:
I will make 1-2 new friends. Yes. 2 to be exact.
I will take 2 math courses during the Fall 2012 semester (and Spring 2013, but that's for the next Time Capsule), although I want to take 3. Yes. Abstract Algebra and Combinatorics.
Summer 2012 will be extra meaningful. Yes. Not in the way I thought.

My predictions, I better get more that 4 and a half!About 6.5, still terrible tbh. The Forums and MB: PQ will be finally released.Wrong. And Fubar.Ditto. I will reach 750 posts and have a super duper awesome new colour, but I will have no idea what colour I should choose.508 posts... hmmm... I will not leave the forums.I didn't leave, but I wasn't really active... Forum Stats will surpass 12,500 topics and 225,000 posts.I must of been smoking something when making this prediction (3.5k out on topics, 65k on posts) IsraeliRD will remain to be the top poster, no matter how much Pablo spams.True, but only by 200 posts, which isn't that much I will get a world record, most likely on an Expert level.All chances were obliterated when Xelna owned Bouncing Fun (have 57.00 on it), my best chance if I do, would be Mastering the Marble. The forums activity will be kickstarted by released mods. Not really... I will get a wittier siggy.Ditto. (It's just an image, although Douglas Adams is awesome imo.) I will climb through the ranks and be much better at MBP.Haven't moved a single place on the LBs, had a long hiatus from the game. Personal stuff: 2012 London Olympics will be "a bit shit". (quote from the great comedian Al Murray)It wasn't, it was actually amazing. The world will not end. (Yeah, Mayans.)Easy prediction. I will break a bone.Nope. I will grow taller but I will still remain short, or I will have growth injections and become really tall.I has growth injections, but I'm still pretty short. Some politician will cock-up in Britain.Lots did, plebgate/hillsborough etc. etc. I will be more awesome then ever.Depends how define awesome.... I will forget about the capsule, again.Yes I did, lol. I will get a girlfriend.Lolno. I will get awesome at drawing.Lolno, again. I will become awesome at drumming!!!11!1!11!!!1111oneoneWell, I'm better, so I guess I did do this... Other (a.k.a random predictions ) I will finally be able to do at least 1 accent and impression.Kind of. I can do 3 words in an Irish leprechaun accent America will constantly fire SOPA/PIPA-esque bills, but none will pass.Surprised, ACTA came but not much else I will become crazy sick in 1 game.Nope... The Euro will fall, due to Greece, France, Italy etc. etc.It's currently surviving, but it doesn't look good atm Chelsea F.C will win the Premier League, as Man City and Utd will collapse (for a while) while Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to be lacklustre for a long time, causing Chelsea to win, despite having a bad season.Lol, Chelsea came 6th, yes, not good. Current season we are 3rd, but don't look like winning the Prem. League... Brilliant predictions again [SARCASM ALERT...]

Let's see here...
Nope, hopefully this year. I was playing some a few months ago and indeed there were some marblers there. I have a year of Gold so I will make a solid attempt to continue to play MBU since MBO is just that awesome. This definitely didn't happen. I really would like to though.
Apparently not.
Again, Apparently not.
Hm...I'm not really sure in this department, by best guess is no.

Posts: 2,019 / 1.071 per day Members: 2599Holy crap I made 10 legitimate posts all year! And I can't find my current posts per day... -------------------•My MB playing will probably be even less than 2011 (it had a boost because of my January records). Hopefully I engage myself in PQ and/or Fubar if either is available.Hell yeah I was right! I hardly opened the application at all! Neither is available yet as well. •I don't don't think the forums will collapse (if PQ/MBF release then they will spike), but without some stimulation we'll probably see less activity than 2011, but at the same time, a slower rate of decline.Ironically, since I wasn't really present to make actual observations, I can't conclusively say whether or not this happened. Fortunately, nothing collapsed, so coolz. •I'll have a huge period of 2012 where I don't visit the forums at all, but I'll be here at the end of 2012.Yes, then no. I wasn't here at all... •I will want to do custom level work, but I never will.Sort of. I mean of course I always wish I had done this in the past, but during 2012 it wasn't really on my mind much at all. •Next year I will wish I put more time into this response.I'd say fairly accurate. I'm not shocked or anything. •I will still play HaxBall some, but not too much. I'll complete 1, maybe 2, good custom maps.No, I don't play HaxBall anymore because the laptop I use for school has the shittiest graphics capability you can imagine. Other than that I love it Because of this I completely forgot about making custom maps. I did create a new file on September 6, but that project was never finished; I spent not more than an hour working on it. •I'll go to college. Maybe not where I want though. I really don't know.Yes. I am at college. Not where I originally wanted though. But it's still cool. •I will finally implement iCloud instead of ignore it.Yes! It turned out to be fairly lame, but I am quite glad that I finally got around to doing it. •Gosh I'm tired and I wish I did this earlier. I can't think of anything good to say.hehe •Crazy shit will go down during the 2012 Presidential race. I have no fing clue what the outcome will be.Yeah kinda sorta. I stopped giving a shit about the election pretty early on. I voted, but I wasn't excited or anything. •I will continually be frustrated with many groups, organizations, companies, other individuals, and nothing will change.What is this even supposed to mean? Yes this is 100% accurate :S •I want to take some friends to Minnesota, but I don't think it will happen.Correct. Still want too... •A lot of good things will happen and a lot of bad things will happen.Close enough. •I'll do the thing I've been wanting to do for a long time. And I'll do it badly.Fuck yeah. Finally. But that prediction was 100% accurate. ^disappointing list, but I am, so, tired. I don't have the incentive to improve it, so we'll all have to live with it. Good night, World, and I'll see you in 2013. Cheers. *facepillows*Sup MBF. Happy 2013!
