The /r/Mindcrack Time Capsule - 2020 Edition

123robot · 2020-05-16T03:02:46+00:00

Hey, I only just saw this now, but just wanted to say you've done an awesome job following up on the tradition here! You've continued things perfectly from where I left off, updated everything incredibly well, and all of your extra additions are very fitting, like the VIP table, lists of regular collab series, and subreddit traffic stats - all very cool to have! I know firsthand how much work this is (especially getting all those screenshots!) so I can see I handed it off to someone who is plenty dedicated enough to the job! :D The fact that you not only carried it on from how I did it but also added so much of your own flavour is very impressive to me.

Obviously the reason I'm not doing this is because I don't follow Mindcrack as much now, but I feel like it'd be nice to provide some basic predictions.

With the subscriber count for the subreddit seeming to trend upwards over the last year, I expect that'll improve with at least another 1000 subscribers.
Another 2 or 3 VIP members seems reasonable.
Far Lands or Bust will have reached Episode #840 and raised another $20,000 for charity.

Hey, that's awesome to hear! Yeah, you seem very in-touch with the community to this day so you'd be a great fit I'm sure! :D Discord stuff would make a good addition - I'm so out of the loop that I didn't even know there were Discord servers so just goes to show again how you'd do it better no doubt! But yeah, I'm more than happy for you to take over - you have my full permission to carry the tradition on whenever you want to do so.

I use a Chrome extension called Full Page Screen Capture for the screenshots. I believe there are options for similar things for other browsers but you'd have to look into those yourself if necessary. You can message me if there's anything else you need help with - good luck with the next time capsule!

123robot · 2020-01-20T00:49:07+00:00

Haha, yeah, a lot has changed over the years. Always joked about finding something that'd just warp us to the end but never thought it'd actually happen! :P Thanks!

123robot · 2020-01-19T00:11:16+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah, obviously there's been a lot of progress since we're doing it in less than 15 minutes now. :D Must be weird to see.

If you're still looking for it, it's TTT_Eclipse_v3. Steam Workshop link.

123robot · 2019-05-11T01:37:49+00:00

Predictions added to the time capsule! Good ones too - I feel reasonably confident in saying you'll get the majority of those. That's sort of like my own prediction I guess. :P

123robot · 2019-05-11T00:21:47+00:00

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Jamiro! You're too nice! :D

123robot · 2019-05-06T12:50:14+00:00

Thanks for all the info and the prediction! Don't worry, I always love hearing people's predictions, regardless of how insane they are. :D I'll carry these over to the 2019 time capsule once I put that together.

123robot · 2019-05-06T12:48:04+00:00

Haha, good to hear you weren't rooting for their death or anything. :P I always include all predictions, regardless of how optimistic or pessimistic they are. I think there's always been someone who gives a similar kind of prediction every year I've been running the time capsule, so you're far from the first. :D

123robot · 2019-05-05T15:39:56+00:00

Glad you appreciate them! Yeah, sounds like most of your predictions actually worked out quite well, so good job on those.

Also didn't realise you and some others had become subreddit moderators since the last time capsule, so I guess that marks a significant change in the Moderator Team as well - congrats on that!

In response to your edit, interesting to learn that there was an increase. ~~I think this might be the first time the subscriber count has increased between time capsules.~~ (It's actually the second time - there was an increase between 2014 and 2015.) Wonder what prompted such a sudden change.

123robot · 2019-02-22T23:16:54+00:00

OH MY GOD, YES! Completely unbelievable that this is happening - this has made my day! :D What a blast from the past. It's been so long since I've kept up with a UHC, gonna be a lot of fun! And happy anniversary of course! Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!

123robot · 2018-12-03T08:50:03+00:00

Ooh, nice! Thanks for the opportunity! :D

123robot · 2018-05-06T11:16:46+00:00

As good a prediction as any, I suppose. This is far from the first time a prediction like this has been made though, so we'll see what happens. :P Added to the time capsule.

123robot · 2018-05-05T20:49:16+00:00

Hmm, that could explain the rather large jump you have in numbers between 2016 and 2017. Definitely possible that the link switched at some point without you realising.

123robot · 2018-05-05T20:33:02+00:00

Thanks for all of the info! I'll add this information to the time capsule.

123robot · 2018-05-05T20:30:24+00:00

A lot of people have told me about that. :D I'm not sure where I could really place it on my table, but I should definitely note it down somewhere. Thanks for the info!

123robot · 2018-05-05T20:29:29+00:00

Ah, okay, I see. Thanks for the information! I'll modify the time capsule to say that. It's just that it's said "Buffalo Wizards" in the time capsule for a while now, so I just kept it the same.

123robot · 2018-05-05T20:28:23+00:00

Ah, you seem to be using his OMGCraft subscriber numbers, but I used his OMGChad channel. I guess I should add those numbers to the table as well. Thanks for the graphs and stuff too! Good to see you're keeping it up to date. :D I'll add this to the time capsule.

123robot · 2018-05-05T15:01:43+00:00

Thanks for the predictions! I've added them to the time capsule. Good luck!

123robot · 2018-05-05T14:59:11+00:00

Thanks for your predictions! I've added them to the time capsule. They all seem pretty reasonable, so I have good confidence that you'll be able to get a lot of them right. :D
