Thread: Prophetics 101: How to predict like a pro.

*Orders*

I don't need the shot-gun method, I have the Marksman* method. My plan is to make a vague statement, get it included in a book with a bunch of other vague statements, then many hundreds of years later have people read the book and sort of do, or at least claim that they did, what I already predicted. They can describe that in a vague way, and include it in a later chapter of the book. Then more hundreds of years later, when the whole book is read, people will be amazed at my accurate prediction.

By having people read my prediction first, then carry out the action, I can't miss--hence, the Marksman* method. It's little cleaner than the shot-gun.

*This name was not inspired by Mark75, but it would make a good name for him if he ever wants to change his.

Wow, way to unite all the tarot card readers and ouija board makers against you...

Don't forget the goth kids playing with a jack-in-the-box.

Well, why don't you add this to the next edition: make sure you write the predictions in one language, and when they later claim to carry out the prediction they can describe it another language, and later still when they finally translate into something readable, they can use a third language. That way word meanings can be changed, if necessary, to make my sharp-shooting method even more effective.

If you think about it, though, it's kind of the opposite of sharp shooting because it's the target that's being adjusted, rather than the aim, which is fixed.
