Cards don't update.

When Season 3 starts, there will be a new card for that season, but your S2 card stays as it is.

There was about 1 year and 8 months between season 1 (April 1, 2018) and season 2 (November 28, 2019).
If we assume the same amount of time will pass until season 3 releases, I would guess late July or early August 2021.

Yeah but you have to consider that the 8 months there were between the original snapshot and the update for cards to become a permanent feature.
If you take the second one, the point where cards became an entrenched feature and not just an april fools gimmick, it looks like a new season will be released around december each year.

I would assume 1 year. The first season was updated after april first, which is why we have exnation cards.

I would assume that you can't make assumptions. It will happen if and when it happens, and not a moment before.

What a mindless post.
Fine; I will predict based on existing practices that when it happens will be December of 2020. I will also predict that there will be a zombie outbreak around Halloween, a nuclear event in late September, something new in April and that Frisbeeteria will be continue a useless presence on technical

This is entirely correct. The card feature is a rather new addition to the game (a paltry 1.5 years!) and still has to evolve into whatever it will eventually become, we don't know what that will be. What the length of a season should be is not determined yet either, nor what seasons will look like in the future.

Knock it off, that's uncalled for.

Prove me wrong.

They're site staff; you're not.
They actually have an idea what happens with the coding on site; you don't.
The owner and admin can decide to release season three at any point they like, despite your prediction - a year and a half from now, two years, six months, or 29 and a half hours.

Really, a foolish post to make, and a ridiculous position to put yourself in.

I really doubt that Max Barry or [violet] are going to delay an event just so Fris can win pedant-points on Technical.

I would be surprised if Season 3 happens before December 2020, but there isn't a definite plan.
