Assuming they don't break the past trend, it should start around 00:30 GMT (assuming posts in appropiate boards occurs within few minutes of launch); so about an hour.

I remember it starting late last year. It was like 3am east coast time if I recall. So I don't expect it for a several more hours.

Well there are different timezones in Australia, maybe it's linked to that?

Nonsense, there's the Best Australia timezone and then the secessionists we don't talk about timezone.

I don't think it'll be forumside nor chain-related. Maybe NS gets turned into a social media site, like NationDates except without dates? A war feature, like some were saying? Something more mindscrewy? I mean, that's what's been happening for this entire thread. :P

Maybe a prank where it says your nation has been banned from nationstates, and the only way to continue playing that day is to try to log in a bunch of times before it finally says: 'Alright alright, you seem to REALLY want to play nationstates today, so ill let you on. Just stop trying to log in!'
I am a puppet of Blorbs, BUT this is currently my 'Active' nation and I will be focousing mostly on this nation at this moment. I will update this signiture if I stop using this as my 'Active' nation.

The answer here is obvious. They're gonna change all the dates on the forum to be a month in the past. Then all the mods and admins will start responding to all the posts regarding the prank with "wow, the speculation is starting already? You guys still have a month!"

Alternatively, they'll change it to one day in the future and go "You all missed it, sorry!"
