Another idea stolen from the Mario Kart community, we're going to predict what the top 20 sitewide will look like at the end of the year (or perhaps we'll make it the end of June by which time everyone will be bored with the concept?).

For reference, the current list resides here.

Scoring will take place as follows: If you manage a correct guess, its 0 points. One away is one point, two away is two points and so on. Add these scores up for all 20 eventual top 20-ers and you have your final score. Lowest score wins, of course.

And a key point: if anyone new joins the top 20, they'll be disregarded in the final count. So if someone reaches 12th position that wasn't a member at the end of January, everyone below them will be moved up one place for the purposes of this contest.

My prediction:
#1: mike89
#2: Thorn
#3: DarkspinesSonic
#4: SkyLights
#5: RPGnutter
#6: Shadow Jacky
#7: yoshifan
#8: Quartz
#9: eredani
#10: sdj6707
#11: Judgement
#12: Auriman1
#13: sonicam
#14: maggot
#15: smizzla
#16: GerbilSoft
#17: douglas
#18: sonichero
#19: Jawzun
#20: SprintGod

You have until the end of January to finalise your lists, then I'm saving them so there's no point changing them.

There's an award in it for the winner, too! Get predicting!

[Azure]

It's my goal to make the top 20, once I STOP BEING ADDICTED TO SA(DX) and play some other games. As for everyone else, I think many of them will be assassinated, and thus will be removed henceforth from the charts.
I have faith in you, Magnezone, as long as you don't find a way to bring Tikal into this.
(Sorry... I just have to do that every chance I get.)

[Stefan]

I'm not on any of the lists?

I'm 21 now.. am I really that bad? :o

it is now my new years resolution to break into the top twenty.

[Mo]

You can get in the top twenties easily because you're 4 points away from the person in the top 20.

[yse]

My brother's list:

#1 mike89 (Unfortunately)
#2 Thorn
#3 DsS (Dont think hes got -that- much left in him)
#4 smizzla (You just wait and see)
#5 Skylights
#6 sdj (At the rate hes going...)
#7 SJ
#8 Eredani (Moving in to alot more games)
#9 RPG (People below him look alot more active.)
#10 Yoshifan
#11 Quartz (Could be higher but not showing it)
#12 Auriman
#13 Judgement
#14 sonicam (He wont submit but wont go down too far)
#15 maggot (See sonicam)
#16 GerbilSoft (Sigh)
#17 Jawzun (Just starting to move from SADX and can go places from there)
#18 Douglas
#19 Sonichero
#20 SprintGod (Just enough to hold on)

[Shadow Jacky]

>_>

Ben...how did I not even make your list?  and sonicam is ranked twice?

SSBB is going to take up a lot of my time, I might drop to 7th if I'm not careful

[Ben]

Oops <_<

I was just messing around with my list really, I don't know much about most of the games competitions.

[SuperSonic94]

You are banned.
That's why.

[SuperSonic94]

Heheh, but I say if Im not banned, whats happens with the top 20?

[douglas]

Given that you're a convicted cheat, if you were unbanned you should be able to get #1, duh.

Also I have to finish Rush and get competing on that, I can get up people's list damnit <_<

1. mike89

[Azure]

19. SuperSonic94.
If you weren't banned, that's what I think you'd be.


Once I get in the red for SA(DX), I'm going for games like Adventure 2 and Heroes. Then I predict I can be in the top 20 within a few months.

So here's my list:
1. Mike89
2. DarkspinesSonic
3. SKYLIGHTS (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
4. Shadow Jacky
5. Thorn
6. RPGnutter
7. Sdj6707
8. Yoshifan
9. Eredani
10. Quartz
11.  Judgement
12. Sonicam
13. Maggot
14. Douglas
15. Sonichero
16. Auriman1
17. Jawzun
18. Gerbilsoft
19. Sonic99189
20. Stefan

Size 8pt.
whatever it is you're going to say, shut up.
Size 10pt.

[DsSaster]

Here is what I think...

1.  DsS (Yes, I'm that confident >_>)
2.  Mike89
3.  Thorn (lol Thorn)
4.  Shadow Jacky
5.  SkyLights (Maybe I'm doubting the power of Tikal >_>)
6.  sdj6707
7.  RPGnutter (You've gotta get more active :()
8.  yoshifan
9.  eredani
10.  smizzla
11.  Quartz (*shoots Dhaos*)
12.  Sonicam
13.  Maggot
14.  Judgement
15.  Auriman1
16.  Douglas
17.  sonichero
18.  SprintGod
19.  GerbilSoft (lol GerbilSoft >_>)
20.  Stanski

I was hoping Stefan would be in the top 20 by now. :(  Also, most of this chart is based on who has been active, inactive, climbing the charts, etc.  I think it'll be fairly accurate, but anything can happen. :D

[eredani]

I've been thinking about making a future Top 20 prediction myself, but never got around to writing down my thoughts down before. It's still at the end of January in UTC time, and you haven't logged on yet so I doubt that you have already sealed the conclusive document.

#1: eredani (Everyone who posted a list in this topic seem to think that I have nothing left to prove just because I'm not competing much and mostly only have partially-filled brackets with a few notable exceptions. Well, this should give you an idea of what's coming up ahead.)
#2: DarkspinesSonic (Considering that he managed to claim the championships of several games within just a few months of joining, regardless of how obscure and unplayed they are, and the fact that multiple competitors are so threatened by him that they have grouped up to try and collectively keep him from the top ranks, surely he and his will to compete can't be an empty threat?)
#3: mike89
#4: Thorn
#5: SkyLights
#6: Shadow Jacky
#7: RPGnutter
#8: sdj6707
#9: yoshifan
#10: smizzla
#11: Quartz
#12: maggot
#13: stefan
#14: sonicam
#15: Judgement
#16: Auriman1
#17: Jawsun
#18: douglas
#19: sonichero
#20: SprintGod

[yse]

Typical eredani, leaving it to the last minute.

Time to seal the predictions!

[Stefan]

In order to show up all the people who had little to no faith in my sonic playing ability (except eredani who may have had too much >_>), I have decided to make a checklist that, by the end of the year, I -must- complete. I can make the top twenty without doing any of it (like right now!), but I think accomplishing these things to secure I higher ranking is an even better prospect. As such, I really want to accomplish this checklist and hopefully make eredani proud!

1.) Do s3db rings (DONE)
2.) Orange/Red in s1 with a complete chart (MOSTLY DONE)
3.) Play some of s2/s3, possibly completing those charts as well.
4.) Get into mid/high orange in s3db, or even a low red. (DONE)
5.) Purchase Shadow The Hedgehog and find my way into the red
6.) Purchase Sonic Heroes and Find my way into the low red or high orange. (PURCHASING: DONE. RANKING: IN PROGRESS)
7.) Complete my Sonic Adventure 2 ring charts for a higher percentage. Also, unlock green hill again and get reasonable scores and rings on it.
8.) Do s1 special stages leadership.
9.) Complete my ring chains in SSR and take back the champ. (DONE)


Can I do it? I sure hope!

[Azure]

I think it would be funny if I made the top 20 so ALL OF YOUR LISTS WOULD BE WRONG.
MWAHAHAHAHA
(and thus the conspiracy is revealed)

[JBertolli]

I'm planning to enter the top twenty just so nobody has a slight chance of receiving max points.

[Bilan]

Ill wait until a month before this finishes and climb back to fourth to fuck up all your brackets.

[Mo]

Good luck Stefan!
