Ranking predictions for the new year
01/01/15 at 11:48:08

Early last year, Andy decided to make a prediction as to how the Top 10 would look at the end of the year. A couple other people in the Skype chat followed suit. Here are their predictions:

Andy:
1. Andy
2. Chris
3. Seb
4. Lafungo
5. Nosey
6. Stacy
7. Mick
8. Pierre
9. Ben
10. Flo

Stacy:
1. Andy
2. Seb
3. Chris
4. Stacy
5. Mick
6. Pierre
7. Lafungo
8. Nosey
9. Alan
10. Flo

Nosey:
1. Andy
2. Seb
3. Chris
4. Nosey
5. Lafungo
6. Stacy
7. Mick
8. Pierre
9. Alan
10. Ben

The actual Top 10 at the end of 2014 was this:
1. Andy
2. Chris
3. Seb
4. Mick
5. Stacy
6. Pierre
7. (tie) Ben
7. (tie) Lafungo
9. Flo
10. (tie) Etch
10. (tie) Nosey

So, what are your predictions for 2015? Feel free to extend them past the Top 10 if you want.

Here's my own prediction for 2015:

1. Andy
2. Chris
3. Seb
4. Lafungo
5. Mick
6. Stacy
7. Nosey
8. Pierre
9. Etch
10. Dan

I think the Top 3 is pretty much fixed. Andy will stay active and has too much of a lead for Chris to do anything. Chris will improve his AF and will be in no man's land as Seb falls behind in his inactivity. I don't think anyone will be able to close the gap to Seb this year. I think I can make it to #4, especially since Mick, Stacy, and Pierre are barely active (if at all). Mick will stay ahead of Stacy without playing much, even though Stacy could pass him easily if Mick doesn't play, because Stacy will be distracted by his Combined ranking goals and will play other Mario Karts instead. Nosey will play for the first 4 months of the year and then forget what a ZZMT is. Etch will play just enough Non-SC to stay in the Top 10, but won't make the effort to bridge the gap to Pierre. Dan will play more, manage to get in the Top 10, and relapse into inactivity.

Actually, I think the last 2-3 spots in the Top 10 are up for grabs, because Flo and Alan definitely have a shot at them, assuming they play (ZZMT). If people bother to play (more) this year, there should be some really interesting movement in the Top 10.

I am proud that Andy was the only one who thought I will end as #2 by the end of the year. Son, I am proud :')

ALso, my own predictions for 2015:

1. Andy
2. Chris
3. Seb
4. Lafungo
5. Stacy
6. Mick
7. Michael
8. Robert
9. Pierre
10. Dan

As Lafungo said, TOP3 won't change much, except Seb makes a super suprise return, which will deeeefinitely not happen. #4 will be Lafungo, he shows the all time activity, even though he should better write some news instead Roll Eyes

I put Stacy at #5 because those are normally easy to gain combined points, and I expect him to do better here, he has the talent!
#6 is Mick, as Lafungo said aswell, Mick is too inactive to have a big impact in the top spots, even though his YD was a really great WR last year!
I think Mike on #7 is a good bet, he can make it if he puts some effort into it.
Robert will probably get enough non-sc PRs to pass this 1 AF point gap, even though his mainbusiness is SC Smiley

and Dan will probably pop into the TOP10, he just needs some advice from a fellow german karter Roll Eyes

The feeling of being a world champion is intoxicating, and I didn't want to ever not be the world champion again. Then I realized it didn't matter that much since I had nothing more to prove and achieved my most important goal(s).

Haha, totally impossible, I don't think I have the skills when it comes to mushroom strats, and it would require a level of implication I don't want to reach again.

Well, it looks like some people's predictions were way off! (Mine were for sure...)

End of 2015 Rankings

It's time to predict what the rankings will look like by the end of 2016. Post your top 10 (or more) predictions, and hopefully we'll see a lot of people be wrong again due to unexpected activity! (or unexpected inactivity I guess.... Lips Sealed

Predictions:

1.: Andy (this won't change)
2.: Chris (because reasons)
3.: Seb
4.: Stacy (Stacy will easily pass Mick, but will play other MKs before he gets to Seb)
5.: Lafungo: (will pass Mick, I guess he's too busy playing other games or real life keeps him busy)
6.: Mick (as explained above)
7.: Alicia
8.: Dan (that 0.9 cut should be doable in 12 months)
9.: Etch (if he keeps playing Non-SC for a bit he could easily get that)
10.: Ben (going to be pushed down, but will probably stay in the top10)
