I predict that The Perky Ent will soon come out with a new RPG in the shire about corsairs and gondorians....

I predict that the all-powerful OverSeer the guy who be short will update the predictions-that-came-true list...and will see that I should become the OverSeer in his place!

I predict that Lhunardawen will prove it.

It would be more proper for you to count, you know.

(Read: I'm lazy.

)

I predict that the Werewolf games will remain up and running even after classes start for the rest of you.

OR...the grown-ups will take the place of those who are stuck in school, and they will run amok in Wereland or Whatever-you-call-it-ville!

As part of his "great songs in my signature" series, the phantom will have these immortal lyrics there:

Quote:

I found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you.

His fanbase will suddenly consist only of pre-teen girls. The forum will be filled with bitter and cynical people who lament about backstabbers, betrayal and "the people you have to deal with these days".

The Barrow-Wight will be furious, because it's four lines long instead of the required three. Also furious, because his favorite line is then edited out.

BW laments in his blog, saying he wants to go hide in a cave somewhere. He does so, and nobody can convince him to come out. His friends all call him a "stick-in-the-mud" and don't want to spelunk with him anymore. Fortunately, he has taken a laptop with him. His iTunes playlist is filled with the likes of Enya, AC/DC, Biff Rose, Leon Russell, and every night Argent's "Hold Your Head Up" is blasted out the mouth of the cave.

------------

The phantom and Fea will meet. Phantom will be extremely disappointed to discover that Fea is actually an overweight balding man with acne who can whistle with his bellybutton. TP leaves in disgust and despair, but Lhuna is smitten.

Nilp, Alice and Adam beat Pseudo-Fea down and kill him. Lhuna swears revenge and wages eternal war against her brother. The entire CbC forum is on her side, but Nilp keeps the Quiz Room. Mirth is not able to decide between the two, and they hide in the hills of N&N. Lhuna pronounces a curse on them, and whenever the phantom lynches one of the Cursed, they turn into Werewolves and start to argue about which chapter is the most important.

------------

THE Ka's work "The Jester" is noticed by a very influential art critic, and eventually ends up in the Louvre and becomes the eighth wonder of the world, reckoned only after André the Giant.

Enca, while walking down the street in her hometown, is recognized as the face of the Jester, and becomes one of those high-society types gorging herself on wine and cheese. She eventually dies due to a tin of bad caviar.

-------------

Because the Barrow-Wight is sick and tired of messing with peoples signatures, he lays down the law and the 250 character limit is lowered to 4 CPS. An exception is made for the phantom, on the condition that he has the entire lyrics to "My Heart Will Go On".

Twelve people now have "OMFG" as their signatures. "waah" is also very popular. TGWBS is crushed because he discovers the word "Quenya" has six letters, not four.

The "Best Signature" thread turns into a list where people list all the four letter words they know. After sixteen posts in a row by The Squatter of Amon Rûdh, the thread is closed down.
-------------

Nilp and Lhuna finally meet on the hill of Active Users. The battle is terrible, but before the moment that one of them could take to become the victor, Meneltarmacil appears throwing lightning bolts, killing them both.
Later, their names are ever there on the active users list, albeit they are said to be "Viewing Thread: The Halls of Mandos".

-------------

Herin lies the tale of Newbie91.

Now it was said that Newbie91 joined the Barrowdowns in the summer of 2008, Seventh Age, and immediately he began to post nonsense and nonesuch, and the Mods and Admins were not able to contain him, such were his h4c|<312 s|<yllz. And lo, he posted his fifteenth "Balrog Wing" thread in Gondor, and as he did so he passed the Cave of Théitoons Shôffl, and lo again! a deep and ghostly voice sang strange things to him:

"Met a girl, thought she was grand..."

And again I say lo! for a ghostly green ghoul floated out of the cave, and Newbie91 was consumed, for the Wight was emaciated with hunger. And there was much rejoicing. *yay*

-------------

Unfortunately, the "Fortunately/Unfortunately" thread will be closed down with the words "Fortunately, it is over". Fortunately, the people most active in the thread will continue it via signature. Unfortunately, nobody can read the four-letter acronyms and the whole "Fortunately/Unfortunately" thing is forgotten until Newbie91 brings it up in far years hence. Fortunately, due to his horrible spelling, nobody knew what he was talking about and the thread died immediately.

Unfortunately, eight people's heads exploded upon reading that paragraph.

MY HEAD!!! YOU MADE MY HEAD EXPLODE!!!!! AHHH!!!!!!

Ok, getting back on topic.

I predict that I will eventually stop contradicting myself in my posts.
I also predict that due to what Oddy said about the Fourtunately/Unfourtunately thread, those eight members will track Oddy down, me being the first!!!!

I predict that after we have tracked Oddwen down, we will continue the Fourtunately/Unfourtunately thread and eventually people will be quoting them in their sig's.

I predict that the 'Fourtunately/Unfourtunately' thread will be followed by the 'Fivetunately/Unfivetunately' thread.
