Apocalypse Now?

[Professor Smarmiarty]

So 21 Dec has started and the world hasn't started ending so I think we can assume we have to wait until 21 Dec in the Mayan time zone which gives us about 16 hours. How iwll you spend your last day on earth? Having a sweet orgy? Beating people up in a hedonistic fury? Or Joining Smarty's death pull!
Get your votes in for how we are going to die. Winner gets to be god-king in the afterlife.

I'm taking aliens.
Still on the table- supervolcanoes, zombie uprising, global warming, solar flares, meteor, earth's magnetic field stopping, something to do with the internet.
Or if you are feeling adventurous- we were dead all along.

[Flarecobra]

The End.

That's all. Just the words The End appearing in the sky then nothingness.

[Steel Shadow]

I'll be optimistic. The words will be "Level 2!"

[Hatake Kakashi]

I want to see the GAME OVER screen. Maybe a little option below with RETRY and SAVE AND QUIT.

Passed out in a pool of my own vomit with whiskey all over me.

I'm putting a 5'er on SOLAR FLARES that MELT YOUR FACE OFF.

Does anybody know how "end of the world" operates with timezones?

I mean... will Australia and Japan end first? Does it have to have the whole globe on December 21 for it to be a "valid doomsday"?

My country right now is using Daylight savings hours and all clocks are pushed forward 1 hours, will i die first or is a technicality?

My GMT em relation to the USA is +3 hours, does that mean i'll watch all of you guys blow up first?

And if so... can i have your stuff?

Smarty, those Jeans you have... they seem my size, and you won't be needing them, you'll be fucking dead... so... can i have them?

[RobinStarwing]

I bet 15 Dilithium on benovelent aliens landing on Earth and asking us to join their group of aliens and help us solve all our problems. We will then build giant ass Mecha to fly around the stars in with their help.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

If we die tomorrow, I just want you all to know. That I love you all and everyone else.


... Except the guys who made Big rigs and Sonic 06 and maybe the writers of Persona 3 and 4(golden) , they can not be forgiven.

[Amake]

Like I keep saying, dying is the wrong word for what is going to happen to us. I figure at worst we'll turn into pure energy and/or information. Of course this might have a catastrophic effect on your consciousness, especially if you're not prepared, and that's likely to take some time to get over, which may be a problem if time as we know it no longer exists. But still the important thing is to stay optimistic and don't get scared.

To quote NASA:

"Right now the sun is approaching the maximum of its 11-year activity cycle, but this is the wimpiest solar cycle of the past 50 years. Reports to the contrary are exaggerated."

Source of the quote. (http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/14dec_yesterday/)

[Bells]

In other news... Nasa Calls the Sun Wimpy, a thousand years of darkness to follow.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I'm usually not one reference things no one knows but on the 22nd our sentence will be up.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I'm gona take a wild stab in the dark and say SCIENCE! will happen. Specifically the LHC. You know that fucker's up to something.

As for how I will be spending it? Striking from work, because why the fuck not?

[RobinStarwing]

I'll be working and then playing Star Trek Online and then on the 22nd, I will run out of my house in nothing but my boxers and at the top of the stairs and scream, "WE ARE ALL ALIVE! THE WORLD DID NOT END!" and keep in mind...it's only about 20 out there right now where I live for a temp; shiney will confirm that it is freakbutt cold outside. ^_^

[BloodyMage]

It's already raining fire and brimstone over here.

[tacticslion]

The title of this post, in all likelihood.

I kind of hope we all get superpowers. But it'll probably turn out more like the Legend of Stan or the Freshmen, and I'll be the only one that doesn't get them (though I'm pretty sure Stan, at least, had some sort of super-effect, considering all the super-smart people claiming various ways he should have been able to get powers and didn't; it was probably something like, "Can't ever get a super effect other than this one.").

I really hope all of our consciousnesses don't get uploaded onto the internet simultaneously (or that the entire internet gets uploaded into our collective conscious simultaneously). That place sucks, and I hear-tell that most of the places on it are filled with feces, though Nuklear Forums less so.

Someone suggested instead screaming

10 minutes in... nothing.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Happy End of the World, everyone!

[EVILNess]

Obviously, it was the calender of an ancient South American culture. You have to wait for their time zone!

[Flarecobra]

Guess what? They're all past.

As you can see, Eastern Time zone is the western most one in South America.

[Solid Snake]

What's going to happen to all the people who've painstakingly planned for the end of the world when the world doesn't end today?

...Worse yet, what's going to happen to all the crackpots who've made thousands upon thousands of dollars from 'non-fiction' books detailing the End of Times as Predicted by the Mayan Calendar to naive readers?

[Sifright]

obvious answer about the scam artists and shysters.

Nothing.

Obvious answer about the 'normal' idiots that have planned for it.

They waste what ever efforts they applied to it because they are giant idiots?

[EVILNess]

They waste what ever efforts they applied to it because they are giant idiots?

Thankfully it is really hard to waste toilet paper and canned food.

[Flarecobra]

And that way you're stocked in case a storm comes through and knocks out power.

[Loyal]

See y'all in nine months, when a bunch of idiots/opportunists give birth to a bunch of idiot, opportunist babies following "end of the world" sex.

[Sifright]

Canned food is always a good staple if it's ultra long lasting.

I mostly live off canned food thats because i'm poor though.

I never got the point of "preparing" if the world ends I doubt a stockpile of baked beans is gonna do you much good.

[Aldurin]

It's going to be an internet blackout.

We'll never recover from the mass suicides.

[Aerozord]

you know while the Earth isn't ending, was bad timing that in my area a wind storm hit around midnight

[synkr0nized]

I'll be working and then playing Star Trek Online [...]

Ooh! You should go to Ker'rat. And then I will blow you up bring you gifts!

[Magus]

Beans are the last thing I'd want to eat in a tiny underground bunker.

Would you like help?

Dispatches from the new world:
There is still a sun. Also most people appeared to have made it which is good. We need to do a roll call and establish some form of working organisation.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Just woke up here, 9 hours in. Dunno if the world ended while I was asleep, though, maybe it did and this is purgatory/hell. If so it looks about the same as before, I figured as much.

[Bells]

My first report from Purgatory:

Everything seems normal, NPF seems unchanged. The world will only know how many were raptured when the next census comes along and we find out that the world population has shrinkage down from 6 billion to 5.8 billion.

[RobinStarwing]

Well, I am 8 hours and 28 minutes into the end of the world...

Hopefully not too big. I had to do some end runs as photobucket won't let you copy photo links anymore even if you are a member.. >_>

Edit: Also Sync...been to Ker'rat...not going back for a while. <_> *shuders* Too many d6 flying around.

Ahh, are you around levels 20-30 or so? That's one of the initial ships for Klingon faction characters, who start at, hmm, level 24 I want to say [it's been a while].

I prefer to enter Ker'rat in my Vor'cha or a bird of prey, so I promise it won't be a D6!!


Fuck, I might marathon some STO today. Screw you, end of the world, I got some Trek to do!




In any case it's just cold and rainy here, as it was yesterday. No Hellfire or doom on the horizon.

Flare has seen me in the game...I'm Level 8 right now >_< The only good thing to come out of my trip to Ker'rat was that I got a Tactical Console Zero-Point Quantum Chamber and then at a Gorn encounter on my way to the next missions...Neutrino Deflector Dish MkII (Sen). ^_^

Oh, and I know who saved the world!

Princess Celestia and Kamina led Sailor Moon, Nanoha Takamachi, Lelouch Lampourge, and Sakura Kinomoto in battle against the Mayan gods and KICKED THEIR FUCKING ASS CAUSE NO ONE MESSES WITH THE GREATEST BADASSES TO EVER LIVE!

well I'm gonna be spending the bulk of my day working at walmart before christmas, so yea, the "we are in hell" theory seems pretty solid to me

[Flarecobra]

They're D7s actually.

Anyway, on the cool side, and quite a beautiful day.

I was with you until I saw Lelouch in there. The Mayan gods aren't stupid and he already used his "shut up and leave us alone GOD" card on, well God.

I'll let you know if it's purgatory if I run into a Leviathan and then I just need some Borax ^_^.

Love the use of the butts icon by the way.

Ssshhh! Don't ruin it! I'm pretty sure Robin just doesn't know about that emoticon.

[rpgdemon]

It's rainy and windy here. Does that count?

[Flarecobra]

Is it normal weather for you?

[rpgdemon]

It's a typical storm.

[Magus]

How do you all know the world wasn't destroyed and instantaneously remade exactly the same way? Maybe this era is exactly the same as the last one--they can't all have talking monkeys and giant floods.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Yeah for all we know, Goku may have saved us and used the Dragonballs to restore everything back to normal.

[mauve]

I feel slightly ill today. Could it be the sign of a Mildly Inconvenient And Not Actually Apocalyptic Apocalypse??? OH MAYANS HOW DID YOU KNOW?

[Flarecobra]

Yeah for all we know, Goku may have saved us and used the Dragonballs to restore everything back to normal.

That's just silly. Goku doesn't exist.

It was The Doctor.

[RobinStarwing]

I was with you until I saw Lelouch in there. The Mayan gods aren't stupid and he already used his "shut up and leave us alone GOD" card on, well God.

He wasn't there to use the Geass he has but to act as Tactican and Strategist for the others along side Celestia.

people still play STO? I was disappointed after the Borg arm weapon wasn't an actual borg arm.

Yeah, I've been playing again.
