Prophecy for 2009
 

Hello there, Abandonians. I am Pythia, the Prophet. I have been asked to come here and help you see a glimpse of what the future holds.

We're standing at crossroads. This year is at an end. People are insecure about the future of Abandonia, and reminiscing the past. This is a place of nostalgia, on so many levels.

Now, I have a gift, that lets me see things unhappened. I have traveled wide and far, seen kings and emperors, warlords and heroes, to guide them and council.

Now let us proceed. The future is not as bleak as many may see it. There will be bad things, of course, but there will also be great things.

~~~~~

Love

There will be love. New, fresh, young love. The members have already joined, but do not know each other well by now. That will change early on the next year.

They will meet in the living world by the end of next year and will be very happy.

But another couple will split. A couple that has already formed. One of them is active, but the other is a mere lurker.

Future of Abandonia

Ooh, this is juicy. I see a saviour. A knight in a shiny armour. He shall help us in ways nobody could have imagined were possible. He will come with new ideas, new points of view and bring you all hope. He will keep those ideas hidden for a while, but then emerge into the open. Just wait.
He is already in your rows.

The Old King shall return, but not for long.

Old Abandonians

More old Abandonians are yet to return. Some of them only for a moment, others will linger on. They will be welcomed greatly.

New Abandonians

There will be an increase in new Abandonians, too. They will need guidance at first, but in time they will become solid and helpful members. Some of them will come as a good surprise.

Politics

There will be a change in the row of leaders. Old ones will go out, new ones will come in. Controversial, but will prove good in the end.

~~~~~

Now I have told you what I know of the future here. My duty here is done.
Just remember. There will always be those testing your patience. But there are also friends and allies.

May the new year bring you hope and happiness.

My mission for the next year is to prove all these prophecies false... which will be difficult since they are vague over-generalizations and could apply to any forum at any time. I hate prophets.

Do not believe the False Prophets.

Hehe nice, it'll be interesting to see if something of this will happen :p

I wonder who's using a proxy to post this.

I refuse to believe it.

Like many prophecies, at least those put forth in recent times, yours are vague enough to almost be tautologies. There is one test, however, that only a true prophet can pass. It is a simple question, only seven words in length, but the answer has proven to be as elusive as the philosopher's stone. It is said that the search for the answer has driven many to madness and some to an early grave. I present the question to you now. Do not answer it lightly:

When will Duke Nukem Forever be released?

Good luck.

As long as I'm not that savior, all those prophesy's are fine by me. :amused:

*Polished his (Web)Space Helmet*

Saying "never" seven times isn't a proper sentence though...

Like I mentioned, Lulu_Jane, I have been asked to come here and that is in full cooperation with an admin. So that should not be a problem.


You test me, Fruit Pie Jones.
Like you may have seen, I am not able to say when during the year an event will happen.
I can tell you this:

Duke Nukem Forever will be released in 2009, but do not waste your money on it. It will be utter crap.

Think I don't know a little Greek? Get out of this forum, Pythoness, and take your forked tongue with you. I have a prophecy: the Messiah *has* come, snake, and He has already crushed your head. You aren't a prophet, but a fortune-teller, and you seek to snare the gullible with your glib patter. People like you seek power and control over the minds of others. People like you told a young girl that she'd die a terrible, violent death when she was old, and she lived in fear her whole life until a pastor I know prayed with her -- and the next night she died peacefully in her sleep. People like you murder people for their body parts to sell as medicine here in Africa. You terrorise whole communities. The prophecy that is written for people like you? Terror on every side. *walks away shaking with rage*

Relax arete. Dont get your personal feelings on it. It is a path to the dark-side.

Prophet, I claim that youre lying. Duke Nukem Forever wont suck. Its 3D Realms thats doing it and Im pretty sure they know their Duke.

In any case, tell me more about this White Knight you mentioned?

*Reads quote*

*Looks at BP Avatar*

*Facepalms*

:p

Thank you for confirming my suspicions Arete. Satan does infact visit abandonia

On 9th February of 2009 there will be a pretty big stock market crash triggered by big news.

:thumbs::1stplace:Arete congratulations on South Africas win over Australia in the Cricket...They did a splendid job and let me tell you there is much weeping wailing and gnashing of teeth here in Oz.."Pride goeth before a fall" "Oh how the mighty have fallen" etc etc etc..:crybaby:

Anyway... HAPPY NEW YEAR

Arete arete arete.... so much anger in such a beautiful soul....

If the prediction of a breakup is the part bothering you, then I must stress that a half of that couple is not active here. There are many who lurk in the darkness.

If it's my predictions in general, then there's nothing I can say, but I'm sorry that they have those effects on you.

Καλώς ορίσατε to Abandonia Pythia.
Sorry but I don't believe to prophecies too much, btw I can't say that I'm not curious.
Especially about Studentis and Extras Updates :p

Oh but Arete don't you know? The Serpent is the best way to self enlightenment. Check it out:

Believe in the Prophecy. I feel like I have to defend Satanism so my brothers and I in our cabal are not dishonored.

Ok, joking aside, the prophecy is obviously in good fun, and makes predictions, with some exceptions, that will probably become true. So I'm prepared to hang that up on my wall and pray to it. Hey, it's not flawless, but neither is Fallout, and I prayed to that too.

WELL.

First of all, I think you could quote any of BP's posts (see above post) and see that he is an idiot, not a knight. Maybe 'knoght'. :D

Second of all, well done to the South Africans. They weakened they Aussies so that we can walk all over them at a later date. :D

Thirdly - Pythia, I shall apologise in advance for any cynicism that may follow in this or consecutive posts. Now then:

It has been a long held belief of mine that the future is 'set in stone'. However, it has also been a long held belief that to see the future, you would need to simulate the entire universe and the interactions between particles and forces in exact detail. Detail infinitely minute that it is impossible to calculate without actually happening. While you do seem to 'predict' outcomes for this site that are favourable and what most of us hope for anyway, I think that maybe the description of a 'knight in shining armour'
and such may have been overly optimistic. Hope and expectations are two different things. My hopes mirror similar objectives to yours, but my expectations are far lower. In conclusion:

We shall see. *sits down in chair and looks evil*

Pythia, will i get a new bike for next christmas? :whops:

Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks.




That's entirely between Santa Clause and your parents.

Dear Pythia,
Will I finally become a responsible grandfather in 2009? Ya know, one that does not fart when the little critters pull his finger?

No.
You're more fun the way you are, for that farting trick never gets old.

Will I ever get laid?

Dosraider, the only time responsible can be used in a sentence concerning you is in conjunction with the prefix 'ir-' and the word 'completely'. And not 'ircompletely responsible'. You don't need to be 'psychic' to know that. :D :p

comon!!
 

Well,if you ARE a fortune teler,what am i wearing a,or better yet,where am i EXACTLY ah..ah..you can`t respond to that.
a ver si te haces la tan tan (y de seguro entiendes lo que digo) cual es mi futuro a ver?

someone missed the point of this thread=P

Come on Haha don't get mad. If you don't believe in that just say it in a polite way, or tongue-in-cheek, or disregard. That was not nice. :/

I believe you make your own luck...

Thats why I'm selling these fine loaded dice, marked cards and fruit-machine magnetrons.

:max:

yes you are right.by the way,just call me Ignacio,or nacho.

I knew it ... we're not so different, you and I. :) Pull that trick in a crowded McDonalds order line. Loudly, ask your kid to pull your finger, take a deep breath and give an evil grimace as you look around at all the onlookers, who at that point, don't really want to be there.

SOMEBODY lost something in translation!



So what's arete's excuse?

She had the site best interest in mind.

And she is a girl... In the middle of Christmas holidays.

What more to say? :amused:

A girl? You are on very dangerous ground here, Eagle.... :whistling: [nasty anti-Frenchness comment redacted because I can't think of a really funny one dammit] :)

To be honest, my antidepressant wasn't working. So I'm on two now. Ze fuse vas short, na? Und no one said it vas a joke, or I vould've exploded off-stage.

I'll give you just one example why any form of witchcraft gets my back up: there is a tribal grouping in South Africa who tries to please their ancestral spirits (whom they worship, actually) by taking their little daughters and cutting off the first joint of their little finger. The government does absolutely nothing about it. Anyone who speaks up against it is "imposing western culture" in an "imperialist" manner on innocent Africans. It makes me physically sick. There are several other reasons, up to and including the fact that a charlatan of an acupuncturist almost killed my mother by taking her off her pills and misdiagnosing a chemical imbalance in her blood, "reading" her tongue and saying it was her "liver". Her weight dropped to 45kg in a few weeks. My current doctor diagnosed her in a few seconds, put her on the correct treatment and she was fine in a few days.

In sum? Either they are pretending, they are deluded, or they are something far, far worse. Look at John Edwards. He films about two hours of random "I see the colour red" crap, and then edits the final product right down to 42 minutes or however long his programme is without the commercial breaks. And a lot of it is just suggestion: tall dark strangers and future disappointing events abound, and all it does is manipulate people and make them dependant on outside sources for their decision-making. But in any case, I apologise for the fury. My groundstate was utter fury anyway at the time, and the idea of someone fancying herself as the Pythoness of Apollo struck me as utterly obscene. Still does, but I'm hiding my twitching eyes rather well, currently. ;)

:laugh:

i didn`t lost anithing in the traslation chico Punch999,i did it purpouse (if you really want to now what y say,than i am sure you not, check a book or ask somebody for the translate)ademas no me interesa que no entiendas,a mi me da igual :amused:

This is a English speaking forum. And I wasn't talking about the post you made in your little code language. I meant you getting pissed about the fortune telling.
