It doesn't seem fair that the original post contains no thinking whatsoever, yet solicits thoughts. This is not a fair trade.

Yeah, the world ends on Saturday. That's why I'm not starting any new games.
I believe the world will end by sections of the earth, and I doubt that South Africa will go before Argentina. Therefore, I would start games with Argentinians, because they will lose on time before you, rooperi! You can die a 2000 rated player

I don't know, but the local fire station is hosting a pancake breakfast on May 22, so even if the world has become a ravaged, soulless, postapocalyptic hellscape of death filled with shards of demonic black hellfire injecting infinite pain into everything that moves, I'll still be pretty happy.
Brought this song to mind:

I thought we were already there
"An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. A pessimist fears he is right."
If this is our best than I fear the optimist is right
"You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." — Luke 12:40
The way I see it, there's a billion Christians in the world, and far, far, more than a billion hours in each of their lifetimes. If the Rapture has to occur at an hour unexpected, then if every Christian agrees to expect the Rapture each at a different hour, then, assuming the number of Christians in the agreement doesn't significantly decline, you can stave off the end of the world forever. If my math is right, it should take about 700,000 people, assuming people can't set a new time after theirs passes and the average lifespan is 80 years. If we all concentrate our Rapture-expecting efforts on one day, our faith is wasted, because all we really need is just twenty-four people expecting the world to end on May 21st to prevent it. Come together by spreading apart, fellow Christian soldiers, and use your great powers of being wrong for good and not evil!
