The only thing I fear about december 21 2012, is the idea that things like mass suicides, and people doing really stupid things just before hand.
Are you kidding, I'm honestly hoping as many stupid people as possible are roped into that kind of thing, I'm all for people that easily led and oblivious self removing themslelves from the potential gene pool.
WHY DOES THE WORLD HAVE TO END ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!SHIFT1!!!!
*sigh* I've gotten the "lulz it's like a birthday punch from god" joke like a million times...

Ever notice how the psychics who talk to dead people always inform us that the dead people are obsessed with the empty trivia of our personal lives? (Which they can also never quite seem to remember without playing 20 questions.)
I've always figured that if a psychic could really see my future, they would call me.
If the beetles had beetle gods, they'd have made the world for the beetles too.
Dolphins do have dolphin gods.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't put a lot of faith in a prediction by a culture that was mostly destroyed a few centuries ago. Seems to me that if your prophets were up to snuff, you'd have a big f~*@ing circle around, say, the year 1517, and a note in all capital letters saying "WHITE DUDES WILL COME FROM OVER THE SEA AND WIPE US THE f~*@ OUT."
I hate when Sebastian writes something that I'm forced to admit is damn funny.

Luckily it only happens around the apocalypse.

I've played Rifts several times as well, each time with a diferent group of players.. Every time I played it lasted exctly three game sessions. The system sucks, but certain people will not admit it. I wish that they would make a d20 version, or the long ago announced and never materalized GURPS vesion.I'm ashamed of you. :) How can any gamer not have at least one unused Rifts sourcebook? It's a rite of passage around here to buy Rifts and then never play it.Hey! I'll have you know I played Rifts...three times...with three different groups of players. Dammit, it should be good. How can a game have this cool of a setting and not be good?!
I've run Rifts games that lasted for years.
You have to get over the"ZOMG! IT'S NOT TEH BALANSED!!!" and it's allright.
It's got some really cool stuff. Shooting stuff with giant robot guns is fun.
Oh, and the original Cyberpunk started in 2013, so.....

Agreed. It was an awesome post.
Hmmm... I need to get cracking if I'm gonna come up with a good scam on gullible people. Would Y2012 work?...stuff...
Good luck, gulible people need to be taken advantage of and it might as well be you that educates them about lifes harsh realities. Thank You for your service ambrosia.
You're welcome. I need the money. If it's 2012, I have to be ready to stage the Nanosecond Buyout... if not, the Aberzombie Manifesto: How to Learn to Love VITAS says the Second Lurching is right around the corner and I want to corner the market on Undead Defense.

Aroden didn't see it coming either.
I think things are blurring together. Also, the Andy Rooney nightmare may have messed with my head a bit.

It is a sign of the End!
I hope the apocalypse involves kittens and ice cream.
The 20-mile asteroid of ice cream tumbles towards the Earth.
Fortunately, the tremors in space time happen to resonate precisely with the length of kitten whiskers. Detecting the approaching apocalypse, they attempt to warn the humans via the only means at their disposal...
Unfortunately, no one takes kittens seriously, especially when they try to use LOLCATs to warn of doom.
I hope the apocalypse involves kittens and ice cream.
The leprechaun dreams I send you will....nitey nite.
I hope the apocalypse involves badgers and ice cream.
Fixed it for you...
Yeah, poor gits got totally shafted by the high guild and the artificers...while purging superstitionists from the order of reason may have been a good thing, it was never quiet the same once the money men got into the driving seat.According to the numbers left in the time capsule by Lucinda Embry, the world will end on October 19, 2009...6 days to go!
Oh! And the world ended for the Knights Templars 702 years ago today...
Really? Not the Bureaucrats?

"Do you know why your here Mr. Fyre?"The question is clearly rhetorical, but he dives the subject a momment of silence.

As to my, as you put it, "using superstitionalist terminology," surely you recognized my pop-culture reference: "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." from the motto of the United Negro College Fund. It was merely an attempt a humor.

Not at all. Especially the "real" one. :)

When I first read about the Mayan caladar, I understood it as thus:
The Mayans were very good time-keepers, even taking into acound the leap year for their calender. They believed that life happened in "cycles" of good and evil.
During a good cycle, generally good things would happen in the world (crops would be plentiful, famine as virtually non-existent, diseases and plagues were arare, etc.).
During an evil cycle the world would experience bad things (many wars, plagues, violent weather, blight, etc.)
The world as it currently exists is in the evil cycle of the Mayan calader. On December 21, 2012, the cycle alters, and the world will enter a good cycle.
It is not the end of the world... things are supposedly going to get better. REJOICE!

What if you are Lawful Evil?
"Professor, without knowing precisely what's wrong: would you say that it's time for our viewers to bash each other on the head and feast on the goo inside?"
"Yes I would, Kent."
The world as it currently exists is in the evil cycle of the Mayan calader. On December 21, 2012, the cycle alters, and the world will enter a good cycle.
Which explains why all the conservatives are worried about it. Their reign of terror will be over, and the enlightened can once more bring the world into a golden age. [/tongue-cheek]

[referee] Illegal use of political agenda in Off-Topic thread. Five yard penalty. Still First Down. [/referre]
Aw, c'mon ref. If that had been an actual post of political agenda, it would have contained a lot more poisonous invective, sweeping generalizations, and at least a little name-calling. Also, it wouldn't have had the bracketed ending clearly indicating a jest.
*kicks dirt on the ref's shoes*

Oh, yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you? You say, "Ooooh, this guy's got liberal leanings! We should make him a little blue guy, put him in a little commune with a bunch of other little blue guys, where they can dance around doing their little peacenik dances and living in their legally questionable mushroom houses. Hey, and while we're at it, lets only give them one woman. Most of them are probably part of the secret gay agenda to destroy real America anyway so they won't mind." Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
Hmm. I quoted you and did it to myself. Crap.

It was only a five yard penalty. For kicking dirt on the ref's shoes, you are ejected from the game.
Yeah, I just never understood why Gargamel was so obsessed with eating them. They don't look terribly appetizing.

I think there was an episode of Robot Chicken where Gargamel et. al finally caught a few smurfs and ate them- turns out they tasted like crap! That one always makes me smile, though I'm not sure why.

The only thing I fear about december 21 2012, is the idea that things like mass suicides, and people doing really stupid things just before hand.Are you kidding, I'm honestly hoping as many stupid people as possible are roped into that kind of thing, I'm all for people that easily led and oblivious self removing themslelves from the potential gene pool.
What about the people they take with them, hm? Smart people can be pulled into this too, or off a roof, just as easily. Then there are all the people who will kill their families before they off themselves.
*sigh*
The human race is soooo stupid.*
I can only laugh at doomsayers, they're so running out of "legitimate" doomsday dates. Soon enough they'll need a new hobby,
But...but...but MY predicted end of the world date WILL be correct!
The world will end when the sun expands and supernovas on October 13, 5000002009.
BEEEEP!
Actually the milky way will perish as a whole even before our sun's lifetime expires if we're really on a colision course towards Andromeda and straight towards each other's supermassive black holes, so try 5002009. =D
The maturity level would go up greatly if we just banned poodles.
I have an old cookbook called "Woking the Dog." You can borrow it, if you'd like.
