About N-Day

Postby Nilrahrarfan » Fri Aug 24, 2018 5:53 pm

Anyone know about N-Day 3?

Hopefully, they didn't scrap it.

If they did, my puppets will probably go to waste.

Puppets are never a waste!
You can do all sorts of things with them. Like annoy people by collecting names, answer issues, and annoy people in other ways :)

No it didn’t, it started 360 days ago; August 29th.

However, the announcement was made on the 24th.

It's been 18 hours, so I have a question. Where's N-Day?!

It will happen if and when it happens, and not a moment before. Special events are 'special'. They happen when they happen. Stop asking.

To be fair, a lot of regions put a lot of weight in n-day, so questions regarding it aren't thrivelous.
I'm sure I speak for quite a few regions when I say that our success in n-day depends heavily on if certain members with a lot of puppets and free time are able to participate. I held a quarter of the nukes and 1/5 of the shields, across my various accounts, for the UDS coalition in n-day II, and whoever Enadia ends up working with this time would likely be very interested to know whether I'm going to be able to spend 24 hours flat out on this again. I doubt I'm the only person who supplied a very large percentage of an organisations forces: Atlas, I know for certain relied heavily on Acronius' contribution in both of the recent editions.
Some information on the likely timing, or even whether it is likely to go ahead at all, would greatly assist regions in determining whether other regions are potential good partners this time around, would allow individuals to call in favours from less active members of their community and would give people an idea of their likely strength on the particular day.

Here's a radical thought...

A real-life nuclear war won't start with a 7 day warning so why should there be one for N-day (if there is even going to be one)?
Just flip the switch one afternoon and watch the carnage unfold.

Their'd be some warning about an rl nuclear war though, people would have some inkling it was about to start.

I spell things wrong all the time, it's a symptom of listening to them rather than reading them a lot.

I actually think we'd get less participation. People wouldn't have any time to organise the large factions we saw for the last n-day, and things would be very centred around regional communities.

This lol. I accounted for 51% of my faction's score last time. I would've been 15th in strikes as a standalone faction. I didn't sleep. I've got a case of red bull I've been stocking and I've been carefully planning and preparing for this, so I feel like questions are more than reasonable.

Well, here's the answer you don't want to hear. Questions are pointless, as there is no one around who knows the answers. We mods have no idea if and when N-Day will be revived. As has been explained elsewhere (multiple times), primary site admin [violet] hasn't been around much lately. It's her baby. If she launches it, it will be a surprise to players and mods alike.

Fair enough, I feel like that gives us a bit better idea that there's a <50% of it happening. At least in my experience you guys usually give pretty advance warning for mini games and easter eggs.

I don’t see the point in speculating too much, although I wouldn’t get your hopes up, just so either you’re prepared or pleasantly surprised.

I heard it's not as simple as just running a programme.

I do fear though that it'll happen in September which is when my big holiday is.

Well idk if it will happen. NDay seems to be a 2017 exclusive :roll:. So if anyone made their nation after that... I'm sorry but you'll never get to experience this amazing event.
