April Fools 2019

April Fools is just a few days away! Any speculations on what the prank might be this year (if there is one)?

The prank is that there is no prank.

They already did that one in 2008.

Season 2, but it would be nice if N-Day became a year long event.

See, the prank there is that something actually happened, but nobody believed it. This time, the prank is that everyone expects something to happen, but nothing out of the ordinary will.

How can Max Barry subvert everyone if everyone is Max Barry?

The 'Who is online' thing at the bottom doesn't show anyone online but you. Actually, maybe the person who responds to you doesn't actually appear. They can see their post, but you can't. Meaning that everyone will think there being ninja'd.

What if they announce that they are shutting the site down for one day?

Does anyone really think they'll do some extraordinary prank this year? I'm expecting a reddit-esque type prank.

by **Todd McCloud** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 9:52 am

I think it'll involve Max's newly-announced book, Providence! But I could be wrong.

Or a combination of the two :twisted:

Past April fools days have included war games like N day and trading games like the cards.

I reckon it'll be a mix of both. You have to flog the dodgiest nations in your region weapons but if the mods catch you you'll either be put on the naughty step or invaded.

Of course if you're flogging weapons to dodgy nations the mods are also selling to, you get a nice bonus.

Or delete all of the regions and leave the accounts, or delete all of the accounts and leave the regions? Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

If you're at a school with lockers, put business cards saying April Fools 2019

Delete all influence and endorsements (and residency), before moving all nations to TRR and removing all WA delegates. Delete all the regions as well for a truly fresh start.

What if they just like, pretend to remove rules for a day then say "April Fools" and ban everyone?

It won’t be a war, unfortunately, but I think it is going to be inspired by a smartphone app that you play with your friends.
