compl3x Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Just so we know everyone is still alive, feel free to post about how anticlimactic your "end of world" experience was. (feel free to ridicule those who believed the end was nigh) So far, I've walked to my local service station and bought cigarettes. Still Alive. garwin 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Here Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 You have to remember, on this side of the world is where the Mayan calendar was created, so it goes by our time, not the rest of the worlds. We are still on the 20th, so Doomsday(LOL) hasn't officially happened yet. LMAO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryster Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Also don't forget that it could happen at any point during the 24 hour period of December 21st. Not the instant the clock turns midnight and the 21st starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the instant the clock turns midnight and the 21st starts. That is why we all need to check in at this topic. If you see any apocalyptic-like events, report here first. We must be vigilant.

episode Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Winter solstice is only time that matters, since thats when their calendars ran. Doesn't happen until 11:12 AM UTC tomorrow http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=December+solstice+2012&iso=20121221T1112&sort=2 Did they take into account leap years? :rolleyes: Doesn't matter. Its timed based on the Winter Solstice, which doesn't take into account any other calendar inventions or time changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compl3x Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Question: What do you predict will be the most common excuse for the world failing to end? Date shifting: "Oh, we said 21st of Dec 2012? We meant 2021. You can see how someone could confuse that" Spiritual apocalyspe: " well, no one said it was going to be the end of the world, per se, we meant a spiritual awakening!" Obfuscation: "These things are complex, we need more time to understand them. Ancient cultures left many clues *blah blah blah*" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing Here Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Still got 15+ hours to go...from EST http://www.timeandda.../countdown/maya Less then 12 hours till midnight. East coast time would be about 3am your time. Question: What do you predict will be the most common excuse for the world failing to end? Date shifting: "Oh, we said 21st of Dec 2012? We meant 2021.

Obfuscation: "These things are complex, we need more time to understand them. Ancient cultures left many clues *blah blah blah*" Well the obvious conclusion would be: "Oh, well it is actually set for 12-12-2112." or "12-21-2112."

HawkMan Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Why would there be excuses, pretty much anyone here knows the worlds isn't going to end and that the Mayan calendar doesn't actually end, they just never got around to write the next "year" for it since the Spanish killed them all, and it's circular anyway. it's simply their version of the end of a very long year, new one to come. and even if they Mayan calendar did predict the end of the world, people over here are intelligent enough to know the Mayans didn't know when the world would end anyway. But hey, maybe there's just more intelligent people over on this side of the lake. But then, even most of the doomsday preppers featured on the discovery or NGC show aren't prepping for the mayan end, but rather a global or American economic collapse or one of the other socio economic collapses they think could happen. So I don't know where everyone gets all this "everyone is afraid of the end of the world" thing from, I only ever see people talk about it as a joke.

It may as well be 3112. :p You have to take into consideration that if "Doomsday" doesn't occur, then there's no scare tactics that will work on the current generation. So in all you have to embed the seed for the later generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
