PQ will not be released but 2 more trailers will have been released. By then anyone still interested in the game will probably have gotten way more inactive, and the game won't reach its full audience (sorry, lol).

MBP 1.21 for Mac and Windows will come out sometime in April. *wink wink* MBP 1.22 will come out before the end of 2012.

MB Fubar will be released in March or April. Project Revolution will be nearing release.

I will still log in often but I won't post much.

The monthly packs will be updated every or every other month.

CLA will be released in late February with a few surprises

I will be in college.

Obama will (unfortunately) be reelected.

One currently non-staff member will be promoted and replace an inactive staff member.

I will get and keep a job for several months up to August.

I will write Yelp restaurant reviews more frequently.

There will not be a LotY 2012. Custom levels will continue to decline in quantity.

I will drop my iPhone once and get it replaced for $50.. getting my money's worth of that insurance!

I think by next year I will be a little bit more willing to make decisions. I hope so anyways.

Oh and PQ is going to be awesome.

[Oaky]

I won't be here (essentially aren't, anyways )

Fin.

-Going to see this game grow.

The world will not end.
Marble Blast Fubar will come out.
I will have new classmates.
PQ will be released.

And that's about it.

[Pablo]

The level of interest in the community will continue to decrease. We will have LotY but almost no one will participate. PQ will not be released, but will show some tantalizing trailers. MBF will die or not be released.

Marble Blast Stuff:
~PlatinumQuest will be released.
~I will make at least one new level (more when PQ comes out).
Real life:
~My friend, Renouria (who recently ragequit off the Internet), will be back.
...that's all I got right now.

Hey future Sam and future/current other forum members.
I handwrote my capsule again but ended up rambling through 8320 vertical pixels. I'm sure it won't fly with the mods if I embed an image that large, so I'll hotlink.

This post is being made on January 18th, but I made the image on new year's day. Today is the massive internet-wide blackout protest that several large websites are participating in. Even mspaintadventures did something. I can only hope that SOPA/PIPA has not been passed by the time this capsule is unearthed.

See you in the future!

2012:
I will finish programming my game and will continue messing around more with networking / 3d modelling / mapping stuff.

I will finally pass expert level 1 and Spin Practice in MBP.

I will probably not have my own laptop yet.

I will still be working at my same job for $7.62 / hour.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- MBP progress MIGHT resume, and if it does, Windows will be upgraded to 1.20 at the least. Mac update MIGHT happen.
- LotY 2011 dies, and LotY 2012 will take place instead thanks to better level design
- PF updates the 2012 released levels sporadically, with at least two main updates. CLA itself gets updates.
- A few more people will quit and come back due to the mods releasing.
- SDA releases the MBG Update. A MBG Speedrun Update #4 will be in progress.
- Forum staff lineup will change. Can't tell how as I dunno, but it will be.
- At least two members will be banned.
- At least 250 levels will be released in total for 2012.
- I will make Lonestar create a time capsule for the forums much ahead of time
- Seizure will finally cannon.cs
- Xelna will shock everyone in some way
- Something massive will happen in the MB world
- and a followup: I might be forced to take a leave of absence for a number of months, or quit completely
