MBF Time Capsule 5 :: 2012 Predictions

[IsraeliRD]

Post here your predictions. Instructions are at the board's description.
Don't forget to edit your posts if you want to add more!

Throughout my travels around the globe, it seems I found another time capsule! Rather unconventional, will you not agree?

Drawn by the all awesome Lonestar

[Jeff]

I will reach 1000 posts or more, and i will get a girlfriend

[Hi Guy]

GL on that buddy. Um, 500? 600? Idk.
Um... forums will be either rockin' it up from PQ, PR, and MBF, or will be stone-silent. We shall see. I'll probably move on in life and do something else...

[Pablo]

Amazing picture. I look forward to seeing everyone's predictions. I'll post one now and other later.

1. Matan will troll more people late in 2012 about the time capsule's reappearance.

[Sporlo]

Love the new Time Capsule. It's swirling in a crazy cosmic blue galaxy! I wonder if Marblaxia is somewhere in there?

AND THIS IS MY 2012TH POST! HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!

And here we go (done on an iPhone, so I'm not going to be cute with my formatting)

-------------------

•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.
•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.
•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.
•I will want to do custom level work, but I never will.
•Next year I will wish I put more time into this response.

•I will still play HaxBall some, but not too much. I'll complete 1, maybe 2, good custom maps.

•I'll go to college. Maybe not where I want though. I really don't know.
•I will finally implement iCloud instead of ignore it.

•Gosh I'm tired and I wish I did this earlier. I can't think of anything good to say.

•Crazy shit will go down during the 2012 Presidential race. I have no fing clue what the outcome will be.

•I will continually be frustrated with many groups, organizations, companies, other individuals, and nothing will change.

•I want to take some friends to Minnesota, but I don't think it will happen.

•A lot of good things will happen and a lot of bad things will happen.

•I'll do the thing I've been wanting to do for a long time. And I'll do it badly.

^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.

-After January and the removal of my wisdom teeth, I won't have to go into a hospital for the rest of the year.

Haha, i think you are right pablo!

Jeff and Higuy, one of them or even both code MBAdventure (impossible)

Yea, not happening...

[Pyro]

*PlatinumQuest will be released, and its existence will revive an old era or create a new era of marblers.
*Marble Blast Ultra will continue to be played on Xbox Live, since most players aren't forum members. This will remain the only shard of the MBO legacy.
*I will begin making good levels.
*Project Revolution will be released, and, not counting PQ, it will be the most successful mod since MBP.
*MBF will finally release.
*At least 5 old members will return, at least one of them being extremely famous on the forums.

[Tech Warrior]

PQ will be released.
I will/better get a girlfriend.
I will get famous or at least remotely known.
I will release more complete music tracks than last year.
Project Pi will be a success.
I will probably return to building MB custom levels, but that's about it.
I will probably reach 2000 posts by the end of the year .
I will have money.

EDIT:
I will get a new computer!
Fubar will not release.
I will learn to play at least 1 additional instrument; hopefully saxophone and/or violin.

More to come as I think of them...

[marblefire]

Forum activity will keep declining. The forums will eventually die and disband, but it won't be in 2012.
I will become borderline inactive. Most other currently active members/staff will, too.
Needless to say, nothing will change staff-wise.
More PQ news, and at least a beta release.
The community will pick up with PQ, but it won't be long-term or as great a revival as everyone hopes.
Likewise, custom level production will increase, but it will fall short of anyone's big hopes.
I will actually build another level, and it will be at least modestly well-received.
MBF will finally be released.
Project Revolution will get an incomplete release.
Significantly fewer new mods will be dreamed up.
Less than 100 new members. At best, a couple will be active.

The world will not end, but the preceding hysteria will be hilarious!

Until next year....

[Rct3fan00]

Marble Blast Related:
PQ Trailer will be released.
PQ Demo will be released.
MBFubar will be released within the next 4 months.

Gaming Related:
I WILL PLAY AND BEAT SLY COOPER: THIEVES IN TIME THE DAY IT COMES OUT!

Personal Related:

I will FINALLY get my ass outta 8th grade and on to 9th.
I will turn 15 on October 21st.
MB9 will still probably be unknown about. <...... Thats not personal oops
I will stop typing now.

[Mr. E.]

Here are Technostar's predictions (from his perspective):

• There will be a big boom of custom levels when PQ is released, most taking advantage of its new features.
  
• MBF will be released, but there will not be very many levels released for it.
  
• PR will not be released, but there will be a lot of teasers for it.
  
• I will learn to code at least some.
  
• At least 1 well-known marbler will come back, but at least 2 will leave for at least 3 months.
  
• There will be at least 200,000 posts and 10,000 topics in non-staff boards (current stats: 145,889 posts and 7,960 topics in non-staff boards)
  
• LotY 2011 will succeed, and LotY 2012 will happen.
  
• I will continue to release levels, but more scarcely.
  
• There will be minimal scandals on the forums due to the registration limits.
  
• {reserved for future ideas}
  

Edit: 100th post!

I love you!
Not in a creepy way...

So it doesn't seem like I'm spamming, I will also play through Sly 4 on it's release day. I don't think there will be a midnight release, but I will get the game on release day and stay up as late as I must (hoping for a weekend). However, there will be so much content that playing it through in one day isn't plausible.

Halo 4 will smash the game box office during the holidays, and Call of Duty will get less buzz than usual.

[ProMarbler]

I will post in the time capsule before it is buried, and if so, this post will be reserved for future predictions.

[awengrocks]

*MBF will be released.
*I will have 200+ videos.
*I would have 30+ uploads in deviantART.
*My post count won't exceed 120.
*I'll get better at drawing.

That is all.

[Jeff]

Project Revolution will get an incomplete release.

Thanks for the support.
