They won't dare.
Oh wait, wasn't that an actual April Fools very many years ago? Everyone got their population reset to 5 million?

Might have something to do with the "Avast!" banner thrown in at the end of the banner list.

So perhaps pirates?

Everyone thinks that the April fools things will be that there is no April fools ting.

We can extrapolate from this that the April fools thing is that there is an April fools thing! Flawless logic.

That would be great, Pac-Man level 256 all over again. XD

We're not going back to the 2002 version of NS.

I think the staff started this thread because they haven't the faintest idea of what to do for April Fools, are panicking, and are trying to trick us into giving them something they can quickly whip up in a few hours.

Byte coin again, please. Or I made this for nothing.

No. They're ready. They already have something in the works. It's just a matter of when, in the next few hours, it gets released for the rest of us to enjoy.

Maybe that's what moderation wants you to think.

Couple of hours till April in Britain, I'm guessing the prank will be up by midnight in America (any timezone). Or maybe today evening in America, just so lots of people are on when it goes live.

Well America is responsible for most of the NS users (or so I've heard) so it would make sense for them to launch it at a time where the majority of players can enjoy it.

Every link in the sidebar leads to a different Rick Astley song.

I was either asleep or in class when bytecoin launched. If memory serves, NS-Z was sometime around 8pm EDT (3 hours hence).

Also, apparently [Violet] was last online late yesterday. Dunno how that bodes for start time, but it means she hasn't been on today. I think if it were going to be a no-joke, she'd be online to watch us squirm.

Unless this too is part of the plot.
