NationStates Jolt Archive

Well, I don't really know if you'd call this a bug but I logged onto my nation today to find that its population has dropped from around 200 million to 5 million. In effect, my nation has been reset.

I know 200 million ain't that much but I ain't happy. Does anyone know why this may have happened and whether (sp?) it can be fixed?

Thanks

Mine aswell i was up to 517 million and now i have 5, perhaps this could all be part of the moving to Jolt?? I'm not sure but i am slightly annoyed that my nation has been reset

I am sincerely hoping this is Max's idea of a joke ;)

Since all the other settings like tax, civil rights, economy, political freedoms and the current status is regional and international listings have been unaffected, it doesn't look like a reset ;)

I hope................hehe

This was in the news section earlier:
*slaps self VERY HARD!*

I checked the Forums, including the Latest News ages - found this.........

"Thu, 01 Apr 2004
National populations reset!
Good news! A long-running bug that allowed some nations to grow much faster than they deserved has now been fixed. This means nations can no longer benefit from abusing the so-called "population bug."
Because it's impossible to tell who exploited the population bug and who didn't, all nation's populations have been reset to 5 million. This way we can ensure a level playing field."

THEN I DOUBLE-CHECKED THE DATE!

CHECK THE DATE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

There - I think we can safely say it's a prank.....I hope ;)

My nation is also resett to 5 million!
And so is everyone's in Serbia region.
Will there be any solution? Anybody knows?

Looks like I better get used to the Owl Free Refrigerator, I will be stuck with it for the next three months.

Guys, it's just the mods having a little fun at our expense. It's April Fools' Day.

At least I hope it's just them having a little fun at our expense. I was over 2 billion....

I wonder if April 1 has got anything to do with it?

Also whats with the:

3Y3 n00k j00!

under my nation's name?

From what I can see, the population thing and the new forum titles are just the Mods having an April Fools Day laugh....

Well atleast my nations economy didnt get screwed over.
