Blaat, are you sure the 'everyone became a mod' thing was totally gameside? I think if you dig far enough people would probably find some old joke threads in Moderation from that one where we all 'warned and banned each other' and our forum names turned bold red * looks and points towards Reppy *... I thought the gameside joke that day might have been the Conservative/Libertarian joke thing?


What I mean with Gameside is, that the effects primarily take place in the game. Naturally, the things are discussed on the forum side, but that's not where the "magic" happens.

It might be all manner of things...

-everyone gets a Mod Title for a day
-attack of "X" be it zombies, ISIS or something else
-bytecoin
-Categories changed to something silly
-or something totally new. I look forward to it.

But who wouldn't want to go to school as their nation? :lol:

I really hope we aren't overhyping this whole thing though.

Whoosh, I just went back to look at last year's April Fool's and realised it was Bytecoins! :p

As amazing as it was, I hope it never comes back. That thing burnt 40+ hours of my time and brainpower - only to realise after waking up after having a good rest for the last 8 hours to see my position drop from 5 to 14. :roll:

That's the problem, that thing is extremely time consuming. I had a slow start on the first day and made it *barely* on the board (and then slept), and only managed to get back up because of Regnum Dominae's 3.67 trillion donation that made it so much easier to invest and get back returns (especially when the only thing you have is millions/billions after waking up) :meh:

The international Dateline is a thing. For some users it starts before April 1st, and for others it ends after the 2nd. Just how things work out.

We already started doing that for the daily update weeks ago. Sorta. :P

I'm disappointed with this thread. We left an obscene amount of clues in the past few months, and nobody is even close.
