As you can see I'm new here so I dunnno if this has been a thread or not. But I'm just curious as to what you think will ACTUALLY happen then. My personal opinion is it will be a Y2K type event. A lot of hype and people freaking out buying apocalypse survival kits and what not only to find out....nothing happens.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

It's just a date, like any other.

Welcome to the Escapist!
When in doubt; use the searchbar to see if something was already covered.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

People will die. Just like in every other day.

 

[Bat Vader]

I believe that an inter-dimensional tear in reality will occur and video games will become real.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Welcome to the Escapist!

And to answer your question: Nothings going to happen.

Now that that's out of the way, it'll be like Y2K all over again. But this time there may or may not be the chance of quantum zombies.

I plan on finding a rather rich and foolish 2012 nut case and making a million pound bet that the world will not end in 2012. If the world ends, the world has ended, so who cares? When it doesn't end, i will triumphantly collect my one million pounds. That should pay off my student debts with quite a bit left over.

First of all welcome to the escapist may flame wars and spaming avoid you.

Second it's just a date people need to cut that crap out about y2k.

 

[Chipperz]

To be honest, I WANT a zombie apocalypse to happen, or an alien invasion, or SOMETHING like that. It would, in all honestly, break up the monotony of my life.

Of course, I want it to happen, so fuck all will...

21st December?

Goddammit. 1 week until I would be 18.

Super OT: I get the feeling people will make something happen.

Pretty much this. It's gonna be massive freakout - nothing more.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Something bad's going to happen. Then all the people who believe will say "I was right" and all the people who didn't will say "I was right" and all the people who prayed will say "we stopped it" and all the scientists will say "It was never going to happen".

Welcome to the Escapist though

 

[Hot'n'steamy]

i accidently just clicked report sorry mods!

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Nothing.

Is.

Going.

To happen.

Nothing.

It will go down in history as the number one example of doomsayers being utterly, irrevocably proven wrong. And that will be it.

What exactly would an 'Apocalypse survival kit' contain?

OT: It's just people freaking over nothing, thats all.

You win this thread.

Bit more OT, nothing will happen, but a friend of mine is having an end-of-the-world party anyways for a laugh, so I'm looking forward to it!

EDIT: Also, welcome to the Escapist!
