For comparison: 2010 and 2009 (maybe you've already made this comparison?). Generally everything from mid-April on is a perfect match with the exception of Codex replacing Hero Battles, so you could probably predict the rest of the year with that. The biggest hindrances to this template actually working year-to-year are the holidays scheduled by lunar events: Chinese New Year and Easter. —Dr Ishmael

- Thanks Ishmael, thats actually what I'm using to predict it for now. The reason the predictions don't go very far is because of Halloween. If its at the same place in the cycle this year as it was last year it'll be a week early. So they're going to have to change the cycle or let it get messed up, assuming that it doesnt just run on a cycle that skips the weeks that are taken by such holidays. --

- They put the first two events of this cycle in the same weekend...now they're just screwing with me. I'll move the cycle up to keep everything on schedule but it won't work right for anything before this week so it should only be used for predictions (noted in doc). -- Kirbman 19:42, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
