I was debating with myself whether or not this belonged in the forum games section, though I decided against it as it's more just creative thinking and writing rather than a game. And yes, I made this thread because I wanted to, got a problem, I don't care. Oh and I don't believe the 12-21-2012 bullshit, this is more mocking it.
OK so I want you to just try and think up your best conspiracy about what will happen in 2012, and these are not limited to end-of-the-world outcomes, they can include regression to a primal state or whatever. There are however 3 rules:
1) Absolutely no silly ideas such as "[insert animal here] will take over the world" or "the world will come to a standstill over shortages of cheese". Please try to be serious, at least as serious as you can be with 2012 conspiracy theories.
2) Your theory must be plausable though not statistically proven, for example you could say we run out of some vital resource even if we will have a plentiful supply.
3) No existing theories such as solar flares, global flooding etc.
So here's my faux theory:
In 2012 the world's fossil fuel supplies are dangerously small. Engineers are attempting to produce an effective renewable fuel but have had no success. When the fossil fuel supplies finally run out, the world comes to a standstill. There is no gas for cars, no fuel to be burnt to provide electricity and no power for telecommunications/access to the internet. (I'm assuming that the vast majority will just be too lazy to actually try to function without technology) With no means of communication, global economy crashes to non-existence and the world reverts to a medieval state of horse-drawn carriages and the like.
