And if so, how?

<snip>

[Obviously I mean in a game mechanics sense - us players will undoubtedly celebrate in our own devious ways.]

I posted that a year ago tonight (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=319421) (I'm an hour and twenty-three minutes late - yeah, I know, "OMG WTF stop posting already! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=319494)"), and it's once again applicable. :cool:

We have no intentions of April Fools pranks. We are far too professional for that.

That's what they all say. My prediction: all of the text tomorrow will be in cuneiform.

Jeez, people got mad about it last time... some even wanted to crash the boards...hmm, now wouldn't that create more problems? :rolleyes:

In any case, if indeed there is an april fools' prank am I exempt since my name is The Macabees? Last time I read the disclaimer it said I was...kthxbye!

Hehe, seriously, it should be funny to see this year's prank.

Haha. ROTFLOL. When I clicked on the link to Lazarus I was routed to a Homeworld Security Page. (http://www.nationstates.net/hws.html) I just realized what it was when I found this thread.

Well, on NSeconomy anyway. Eg:http://www.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy/nseconomy.php?region=wysteria

And now someone has created a nation: 'Homeworld Security' also.

Is that the Homeworld Security Logo from Stargate SG1? Only the symbol in the middle looks kinda familiar...

By looking #nationstates and how they... Eh, dishonor would be the PG-13 word I suppose....
From the top of my head j'accuse the Ikari/Anderson family slightly more than the others though. But ultimately the blame rests on the Admins' shoulders.

Oh well, the hws.html is funnier and better in everyway than the stuff people write about SG-1 and SG Atlantis in #nationstates :p

Greetings to All and Sundry,

Firstly, as the most likely to be deleted in Wysteria, I’d like to thank the Moderator Academy for making this award possible and of course my publicist for letting everyone know I should be deleted…

I used the redirect page to April Fool's some of my friends who don't play NS into thinking the Homeland Security Department was detaining me for playing. Best April Fool's ever! :D

You should always be on your guard. Not that there's a conspiracy or anything. *coughs*
