Post your 2016 Predictions here

[rjh01]

I am predicting political trouble in China. This will be big. There will be many deaths and huge damage from the demonstrations.

 

[Nonpareil]

Team SoloMid will have undisputed control of the North American LCS for at least the spring split and is likely to dominate the summer as well.

Cloud 9 will put up a more respectable performance than last season, but still won't take the title.

Counter-Logic Gaming will drop precipitously at the beginning of the season due to Stixxay's inexperience, then have a brief period of resurgence once he adjusts to pro play. In the end, it will be HuHi's underperforming that drags them down.

Immortals will have some flashy plays, and likely finish in the top four, but nothing more than that.

No other teams are really worth considering, though Remilia may well show herself to be one of the only real top-tier support players in the league before retiring at the end of the season.

And perhaps one in four of you will actually know what the hell I'm on about.

 

[Trebuchet]

I'm a 75 percenter and proud of it!

I predict Doc Martin will return to my local PBS station in just over five hours. Can't wait!

I am predicting political trouble in China. This will be big. There will be many deaths and huge damage from the demonstrations.

If I agree with you and it comes true, what do I get, like a percentage of a percentage of your take at the gate and we split the Europe and African residuals down the middle? Or what? Okay fine I agree with you no matter the payouts.

In other news, I am predicting political trouble in China. This will be big. There will be many deaths and huge damage from the demonstrations. Either that or Bill Gates will buy China in a fire sale and call it Mina.

 

[Monza]

Here are my predictions. If (when) they prove to be true, please share publicly. If they do not come true, please keep your mouth shut.


6. Microsoft stock will drop when the reviews of the iPhone 7 are underwhelming.
/QUOTE]

Microsoft and an iPhone?

Oops, I must have made a mista...... I mean, uh, yes! Clearly Microsoft and Apple will merge in 2016 to become a global conglomerate that will rule the world with an iron fist. Then the lackluster iPhone 7 will start its downfall. By the end of the year, Micro-Apple will send a killing machine back in time to kill the mother of the engineer that invented the iPhone 7 to create an alternate universe where Micro-Apple rules for a thousand years.

China, tired of propping up N.Korea, will invade. The USA will be forewarned and collude with China on this in return for elimination of 50% of US debt to China. Korea remains divided but ease of access across the border is vastly improved. The war is officially declared over and US forces are reduced to a fraction of present levels in S.Korea.

Doubt if this would happen, however if it did then it would benefit a lot of people. Even better if the South got something as well, such as improved contacts with the North.

Note that I did include better access to the north.

I also am on track, sort of. China is not happy with N.Korea over its Nuke test. In addition, China is facing economic troubles lately and N.Korea is a money drain. The year is still new.

If there is an attack it would happen in the Northern spring. It will succeed, but at a huge cost to the Chinese army. The real reason for the attack would be to distract the people from the state of the economy.

I see, a perfectly reasonable prognostication.

And address the decline in membership? About 2,000 active members before the new owner took over. 1,672 one month after that and 1,443 now.

I think this forum is losing both its identity and purpose. To be honest, I stopped believing that it could be saved a couple of months ago.

 

[Brainache]

Bump!

Let's see how the forum Psychics did...

1. Federal election will happen. Liberals will win easily.
2. SSM will not happen in Australia.
3. IS will still be a major terrorist group.
4. Iraq will still have many foreign soldiers.

3/4 not too shabby...

5. Donald Trump's remaining hair will fall out. He will cover it up with a live muskrat. He will win the nomination and name the muskrat as his running mate.

I call that a hit...

6. Ben Carson and his messianic complex will run an independent candidacy.
7. The New England Patriots and Tom Brady will win another Super Bowl. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will claim that Brady's jockstrap was overinflated and suspend him again. The case will drag on all summer, until Brady goes nude on TV and proves he's got the goods to fill it.

1/3 not so good...

Barrack HUSSEIN Obama will declare martial law and make himself President for Life, using his armies of Mooslims hidden in the national parks and ghetto gangbangers. Or not.

OK, seriously:
Someone will be elected POTUS. If it's Trump, I'll be looking for real estate in Victoria, BC.
The middle east will continue to be a mess.
SpaceX will launch some rockets. NASA's SLS will continue going nowhere fast.

Hmm How's BC? Those other predictions were too obvious...

1. FEMA death camps. For sure. Got to be. Alex Jones has predicted this will happen any day now, for the last 400 years. Surely this time he'll get it right.
2. All the skeptibunkerdenialistpoopyheads will be stunned into silence by a David Attenborough-style broadcast from a softly-talking, camouflage-clad presenter sitting among a family of Bigfoots as they strip the bark from trees and eat it like cotton candy.
3. More seriously, marijuana will continue to be legalised across the globe.
4. Daesh will continue to attract recruits, especially as western leaders continue to believe that bombing Syria will somehow simultaneously defeat Daesh in the field and diminish the feelings of persecution by the west prevalent among the world's Muslims.
5. Donald Trump.

Of the serious predictions you got 3/3! Well done, you are officially a Psychic!

All this talk about Donald Trump. He will be the USA's next president.

I guess this replaces your earlier "Liberals" prediction, making you 4/4... The most psychic so far...

I actually dug out my Tarot cards for this and made a three-card draw, (...)

Here are my specific predictions:

• Equal marriage will become law in Australia, as it will in many other countries that do not currently recognise it.
• Foreign intervention in the wars in the Middle East will be drawn down. ISIS will slow their expansion and consolidate their core areas.
• Hilary Clinton will win the US election. Other female leaders will rise across the world.
• Focus will be renewed on aid and development. Foreign aid budgets will begin to increase again across the world.
• More movies, TV shows and video games will be published that have strong feminist themes and powerful female characters. Someone in the MRA movement will be prompted to propose an equivalent of the Bechdel Test for men. He will be loudly derided on social media.

Don't give up your day job Arth...

Hilary is the Queen of Swords, but so also are a lot of other people. For example, this spread suggests to me that Bill Shorten will resign as the leader of the Australian Labor Party and Tanya Plibersek will lead the party into the next election.

I don't think that's the case - I think Albo will take it instead, but Plibersek (or maybe even Penny Wong) could be the Queen of Swords. I'd vote for Penny.

...and burn that tarot deck...

Okay,I'm doing this without reading all the prior replies so as not to contaminate my aura. If any of these are wrong, it's bad vibes.

1. The trans- trend will continue to evolve. We will see transspecies (humans who believe they are cats), transhumous (dead peeps who believe they are alive), and transwealth (poor folk who believe they are rich).

2. Trump will be revealed to be a transsapian hamster, yet still be elected.

3. Trump's greatest intellectual competitor will be shown to be a blade of grass.

4. ISIS will be surpassed by an even more awful group of terrorists.

5. Other people will do more awful stuff for entirely different reasons.

6. A lot more people will be shot with high calibre semi automatic weapons, which will remain completely legal and easy to obtain.

That's five or six right, I'm not sure... But she's a witch, so I guess that makes sense...

No one predicted any of the celebrity deaths...

 

[Crossbow]

I have two 2016 predictions:

The first is that Donald Trump will appear in Sharknado 4 thereby making this film the best film of all time.

The second is that potato dicking will be continue to be seen on the Forum.

Considering how awfully wrong my Trump predictions have been, then I really need to stop making predictions.

Except, of course, where Forum potato dicking is concerned. After all, I have never been wrong about Forum potato dicking, so I will continue to make such predictions.

 

[Porpoise of Life]

I predict it'll be over soon.

 

[Armitage72]

My prediction was correct, but I'm not surprised.
Pearl Mackie, announced back in April, but she's not going to actually appear until 2017, since there wasn't a Doctor Who season this year. She's 29, based on the wardrobe that's been shown, I'm assuming she's from modern day Earth, and in the clip that was released, she was using what I assume is her natural British accent.

 

[arthwollipot]

Fortunately, my day job is secure.

 

[rjh01]

Bump!

Let's see how the forum Psychics did...

My predictions are generally so wrong I should say what I do not want to happen as my predictions.

1. Federal election will happen. Liberals will win easily.
2. SSM will not happen in Australia.
3. IS will still be a major terrorist group.
4. Iraq will still have many foreign soldiers.

3/4 not too shabby...

All this talk about Donald Trump. He will be the USA's next president.

I guess this replaces your earlier "Liberals" prediction, making you 4/4... The most psychic so far...

My references to the Liberals above are the Australian Liberals. They won with a one seat majority. So that is 2/3 point.

The one about Trump is a bit shocking. He was a bit of a joke at the start of the year. And for me to say he would win... Amazing.

So where is the 2017 thread? Or do I start it?

I think you should do it since you appear to be the most psychically gifted...
