Know you this: whosoever posts a prediction will be assumed to be a participant in the bet, and will be held accountable unless they identify themselves as a Big Coward who is afraid to bet their avatar.
Welcomes, friends and compatriots, to a thread where we put our lives (and our avatars) on the line in trying to predict The Most Impossible Thing:
What will Nintendo show at the Game Awards?
Now of course, Breath of the Wild was shown off approximately sixty-five times at the show during its interminable development. Bayo 3 was announced there, too, and then vanished into the ether. Mercurysteam's been real quiet, and Samus Returns released in spring of 2017, so who knows? And, Hell, Marvel Ultimate Alliance wasn't expected last year, was it? But we sure got it.
But Jimmy Joe! Is this a bet?
It sure is, little buddy. It sure is.
What if Nintendo shows off something not on this poll?
Well then that would be mighty fine, now wouldn't it? This can include your Pikmins 4, or your Formula-Zero, or your Indie Collaborations. It can be whatever your heart desires! These poll options are not meant to be all-encompassing. You make a prediction. You put yourself on the line.
You bet your avatar.
Or, you know, you don't. That's what the coward bet is for!
Oh Jimmy Joe, I just don't know. I really love my avatar, and I don't have a name as easy to remember as yours is. What would my avatar be if I predict incorrectly?
Beloved friend, should you make any prediction and it turn out to be incorrect, this will be your avatar:
Courtesy of Raccoon . The original bet was just about if BOTW2 would feature, which is why the Zelda 2 text is there.
Oh sweet Jesus.
Yes, my friend. Yes indeed.
How long would I need to do that?
It wasn't made clear before, so I'm taking the liberty of making it clear now: you will keep this avatar until the next Nintendo Direct, probably sometime in January.
So that's the gist of how this will work.
How do I participate in the bet?
- Make a prediction, whether it's on the list or not. You wanna bet on the long-awaited Pikmin 4 reveal or the collaborative Banjo revival, that's your prerogative.
- Clarify if you want to be part of the avatar bet or if you are a Big Coward.
- Get added onto the list.
- Watch The Game Awards. When it's over, compare the event to your prediction.
- If your prediction was right, hurray! Pat yourself on the back, you did the impossible and figured out what Nintendo was going to do.
- If your prediction (any of them) was wrong, then change your avatar to the image inlined above. Thus shall it remain until the next Direct.
