There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

And I missed basically all of it. Shame on me. :p It's why I started speculating early this year, though.

Well, it's almost certainly gameplay... maybe something to do with Rift?

That's a good point; I can easily imagine something amusing occurring with banners or descriptions, for one thing. Can't wait to see ^_^

Oh, hello! You again! :P
Something to do with banners wouldn't be too bad, but compared to stuff like ByteCoins and zombies, it's almost a copout. I think we're all expecting a huge new gameplay-changing kind of thing.

Of course the Chain Issue is a joke.

Anything that comes several days before the actual April Fools Day is clearly part of the joke.
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

Not sure they'd do something with rift as some of us are still old-fashioned and don't like it.

As April fools jokes lag the server, how about an interactive game where you have to employ gnomes to cause the server to 'un-lag' for the nations in your region? You couldn't play it fast, because the servers would be lagging too much.
Although, their's actually the possibility that the servers could start to lag for real. Or, you could do what happens with actual world leaders, and leak our details onto the internet.

Nah, that leaks thing already happened. Old joke.

edit: Anyway, I just checked; it's nearly 2 hours into April 1st in some parts of the Pacific, and here in Melbourne (where Max Barry lives), it's about an hour away.

I suggest a joke where the entire site lags, but there is no joke involved.
