It's already live, at least to some people. Apparently not to all. I guess the mods are trying to turn us against each other. It's actually pretty funny.

The joke is that there's only a joke for some people. Sounds like a psychology experiment. Maybe someone has a dissertation to write and they're killing two birds with one stone. I just wonder how they decide who gets the joke.

Puppet of GGS. I can confirm that I don't see the prank on this account, but I do on my main. I'll check my other puppets, including 20 slave colonies, to try to figure out if there's some reasoning behind who gets to see it.

Same! It was my second day as a nation, and I was still getting to know the game, so I figured that it was some way to boost the economy, and then I got lucky and made 10 million Schiltz dollars, and then realized that it was a joke.

Yeah, further discredit those who can see the prank. This is certainly an interesting experiment, if that's what it is. If it's not, I may just do a write-up on it for some psychology journal when it's all over.

This one's better. It's like a super-prank. It combines all the previous pranks and then some. And then there's the whole psych experiment (or whatever it is) to confuse us even more. I like it!
