Anyone else bummed that we only get half a year or so to play this game (based on its current release date) until the world ends?

Not even enough time to get a decent mod or patch in
 
No, see, the end of the Mayan long count calendar doesn't necessarily signify the end of the world, but rather the end of an old age and possibly the beginning of a new one.

So obviously Crusader Kings II is going to be delayed until December 12th.
 
The world ends with Crusader Kings II


Just had to say that again! But if everyone really should be doomed, we at least gets CK II before the end :)
 
Yes, the world is going to end in 2012 simply because we have ten fingers and toes.

Which rule of the internet is it again that when somebody makes an obvious joke, somebody will take it seriously? I've forgoten.

dosn't it end on the 21st? :p
 
Yes.

I can't understand why people say that the end of the Mayan calendar is the end of the world. Strange, our calendar ends every 365 days, and still we don't see any apocalypses.

Because this isn't the end of a year it's the end of an epoch, and supposedly this is the last epoch (there are four or something). It's still bogus but that is where the thinking comes from. Their culture is based on going through epochs and then the world being destroyed and recreated (or something like that...) but that the world totally ends with the last epoch.

Considering that most of the Mayan script translations have very much unintelligible text, no one can confirm this. If you would ask a Mayan community "What happens in 2012", they wouldn't know anything. At least not that the world would end.

But why are we going OT when an awesome Paradox game is being announced? Is there a 2012-thread in the OT forums?
 
Yes.

Technically it's a bit longer than that:

The Gregorian solar calendar is an arithmetical calendar. It counts days as the basic unit of time, grouping them into years of 365 or 366 days; and repeats completely every 146,097 days, which fill 400 years, and which also happens to be 20,871 seven-day weeks.
 
Before we get an OT thread about 2012, which I won't start, I won't discuss it any more. No doomsday in 2012, there are a lot of reasons.

I think everyone knows that and we are just poking fun at it...at least I am. There's a cool website somewhere (forget the link) which mentions at least 300 wrong apocalypse calls over the past 3,000 years.

Like with the empires model of David that mean the last Empire of the Romans had to go on in various other entities because the world resisted to fold with the Roman Empire. :D
