Do you think someone will say "I predict someone will do X" with X stupid/weird/fun and do X ?

Chocolate is like victory points in Dominion. Both taste good but they'll hurt you if you eat too much of it instead of something else in your early days.

Each of my submissions will garner wide praise, but none will win in the end, leaving this bold prediction's fruition my only consolation.

I predict that neither part of this will come true.  :P

LastFootnote's bold prediction has come true!

To be fair, I had inside information. I love Indulgence, but I'm not at all a fan of your Hinterlands entry. Nothing personal!

No worries.  It was uncomfortable joining in on conversation when my submission was popular, so I feel much freer now. :p

At least 1 in every 10 entries for each set will try to make something work that Donald mentioned as not working in the Secret History of that set.

I'm sure this is true, but bear in mind that several concepts that didn't make it into early sets got fixed up for later sets.

Sure, but I'm thinking mostly of stuff that got dropped entirely or fixed in a different way - this will be particularly the case for Dark Ages and Guilds, where there was no later set to get fixed up for. I'll also predict that exactly one winner will be in this group.

I predict at least two more type combinations that have not been on any official card will appear.

...What are the plausible ones? (And by "appear" do you mean be selected, or just be submitted?)

Treasure–Attack seems like the one with the most room for development—and indeed, one has already been submitted.

Treasure–Looter (or Treasure–Attack–Looter) similarly seems fairly unobjectionable.

Victory–Looter is possible (x points per Ruins in your deck?), though it doesn't seem very likely to me. Action–Victory–Looter seems more plausible than just Victory–Looter.

Reaction on a card with more than one other type (Action–Attack–Reaction? Treasure–Victory–Reaction?) has nothing wrong with it in principle, though you'd have to take care not to let card effects get needlessly complex.

Treasure–Duration also seems reasonable, though it causes hairy rules interactions with Herbalist and a few other things.

Victory–Prize is a possibility if we do a new Prize, though remember Donald X playtested Victory–Prize and found it not worthwhile. ("Worth 1 VP per Prize in your deck"? Eh, it's just winner-wins-more, and probably balanced but not very interesting.) Action–Victory–Prize or Treasure–Victory–Prize could have potential.

I don't think Action–Treasure has a realistic chance of being effectively designed, though I guess anything's possible.

Anything–Curse is a non-starter ruleswise. A kingdom card saying "Setup: in games using this, replace the Curse pile in the supply with" could make a mixed-type Curse more feasible, but (a) LastFootnote's contest rules don't allow for this, and (b) this is what Looters and Ruins were invented for anyway.

We're clearly not seeing new Ruins, Shelters, or Knights.

I meant submitted. Not counting the Treasure-Attack because i made the prediction after that.

Now you're in a conflict with yourself. Do you want to design good cards or make this prediction come true now? :)

Of course I'd rather do well, but this way either it gets true or I do relatively well, win-win.

The winning cards will all be fairly simple, yet clever cards obviously inspired by existing cards.

Over 3/4ths of the seaside cards will be durations.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be coy. Compiling the results is time-consuming and work is hectic right now.

Not good enough.  As someone you have never met, who couldn't even be bothered to spend a few minutes to fill out a ballot this time, I am entitled to a full report no later than 8:05 am Monday morning  ;)

I must say, the notion that your full time, paid work should take precedence over a voluntary task you're running for the benefit of others is frankly absurd.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.
