Jodocus predictions & conspiracies

By Quincy Netteb - 26 May 2024


Before we start with the predictions and conspiracies, let’s look at what we already know. The 41st Kandi Board Jodocus (see figure 1) consists of Maarten, who will be the Chairman and Bar-Responsible, Morris, who will take the role as Secretary, Femke as Treasurer, Larry, sorry I mean Hugo will be Commissioner of Education and Thijn will be our Commissioner of External Affairs. It is a mix of five very different personalities, which promises an interesting year for sure. Tekstvak

When hearing the name Jodocus, the first thing that comes to my mind is Alfred Jodocus Kwak, a children’s series. It is about Alfred Jodocus Kwak, a duck from Great Waterland who cannot stand injustice. You can see the duck reflected back in their kandi logo (see figure 2). But if you look up the meaning of the name Jodocus, you will get the following: “Little lord; Warrior; Arrow taker. It serves as a root for the Swiss-German names Joost and Jost.” This brings us to Joost Klein and his song Ome Robert in which he sings: “Wie ben jij? Ik ben een god.” “Who are you? I am a god.”. What does this all mean? Does Jodocus see themselves as godlike entity warriors who must right all injustice?? I’m sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself. We will get to the conspiracies later, back to the facts. 


Something else you can see in their logo is the bandana worn karate kid style in their kandi color: anthracite. A daring color if you ask me. The stone the color gets his name from stands for the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, offering grounding, protection, and heightened spiritual awareness. More evidence for a god complex?? 


That is it for the facts. Now, let’s get to the fun part: predictions!  


I challenged myself to come up with three name predictions, and it wasn’t as easy as I thought… This is what I came up with: 


  1. Orion: the name is from Greek origin, meaning “heaven’s light” (staying close to their rumored god complex). In Greek mythology, Orion was a mighty hunter and the son of Poseidon before Zeus placed him among the stars as the constellation of Orion (which is in line with the warrior symbolism in their kandi name). Also, a fun slogan/motto could be shoot for the stars, or something like it. I asked AI to generate a logo for this name (see figure 3) and I made a mockup of what I envisioned the logo would be like with this name (see figure 4).  
  2. Novarius: Inspired by Novus, which means new, fresh, young, unusual, and extraordinary. A new board with a fresh look on intermate, this might lead to some unusual or extraordinary changes. 
  3. Nebula: I don’t really have a reason for this one, I just liked the name. Nebula is from Latin origin and means “mist”. It is a hazy mass in space visible around stars that consists of hydrogen and cosmic dust. Nebulas come in a stunning range of shapes and colors, giving each interstellar dust cloud a beautifully unique quality.

For my color prediction, my initial thought was something like a bronze or a rusty color. It has never been done before, which might appeal to the Kandies and will really set them apart from their successors. Another color we have not seen in a while is light green, a fresh color that is symbolic of health, growth, and connection. All things that seem to align with their policy plans. 

Next to my own predictions I also asked Intermate member what their predictions and conspiracies are. Here are some of my favorites: 


Intermaatjes name predictions: 

  • Dagobert 
  • Athena 
  • Martinia (related to Pornstar Martini) 
  • Triodas 
  • Sucodoj 
  • Calimero 
  • Iris (because they were jealous of the Sjaars opposition board) 
  • Cassandra (from the Taylor Swift song ‘Cassandra’) 
  • Artemis 

Intermaatjes color prediction: 

  • Bordeaux/ruby/red 
  • Light green/lime/apple/pistachio  
  • Purple 
  • Black 
  • Orange 
  • Aquamarine like from the Taylor Swift song ‘SLUT!’ 
  • “Dark like my heart” 

Conspiracies: 

  • Maarten will become a dictator 
  • They will have a special drink called Red Light District. Everything in red. Selling Pornstar Martinis, Sex on the Beach and Red Ales. However, ones the lights turn green (ones in an hour), it is happy hour time and drinks are 25% discounted. Oh and the Board takes of one clothing piece ofcourse 
  • Morris and Maarten are going to get a board tattoo together <3 
  • TikTokThijn board reveal? 
  • Surprise 6th board member reveal at the GM 
  • Maarten paid Morris to become a kandi 
  • I heard they have a god complex, very sad. 
  • I heard that Morris and Larry are going to do a bak during the GM 
  • They are going to make a lot of money that is why the name is Dagobert. Their ALD activity will be swimming in a bath full of gold coins 

Finally, when I asked Maarten their future Chair if he had any remarks about all the conspiracies going around he responded with “They are all wrong.”, so I guess we will have to expect the unexpected. Only time will tell if our speculations will come true, I for one cannot wait to see how they do and I wish them all the best in the coming board year.
