WHO CARES!!!! Every year for Aprils fools, NationStates does something cool. If the chain is real, then that's another 19 "Easter eggish" issues that you'll only get once. I wonder when we'll get the first one. OMG I'm so excited!

The Chain has had far too much lead time (years, in fact) to possibly be an April Fools joke. ;) I first drafted the map of the Chain in late 2011. (When I should have been paying attention to my Film as Literature class at uni... :oops: ) The Editors have been gnawing on the readable version since mid 2012. We're lucky to have April Fool's sorted out three days before the day happens!

I suppose it's important to add that while there's 19 issues in the chain, you're not going to go through all of them. There's a few routes to get from start to finish in the chain - not all end points are the same either. You could have the issue chain be over in 7 issues, or 12 issues. It depends on the options you choose. 8)

I get the darnedest feeling that you guys are lying and it is an April Fool's joke.

I don't know, I'm just paranoid. Don't blame me, I get it from my mother: conspiracy theorizing about Area 51, 9/11, NWO, all that shit.
