Although I liked the one last year better, this years version of the NS home page upon arrival at 4/1 is pretty funny. It did make me wonder for a moment if there really was a site named nation dates and if I had hit the wrong url.


Good job mods/admins/whoever does this stuff.

Yeah, this year's is another good one. Last year's was funny, but the one in 2004 was even better. Mainly because I wasn't expecting it.

(For those who weren't around, 2004's April Fool joke was that because of the "population bug", they'd reset everyone's nation to the start to make it fair. So everyone was 5 million big. That was inspired.)

Actually i did it numerous times and got different results by fiddling with the option i put in.
the main ones being the top two.

Honestly, I can't imagine that they'd care about what options you put in one way or another, that would be way too complicated.

They just team you up with a random fellow region member. I could of course easily prove this hypothesis by putting the exact same options a few times, but I'm too lazy. Avrio Methavrio, as they say.

Nope i pressed the submit button a few times and it came up with the same person( nation) so i changed the top setting and resubmitted then i changed the next one and i could get different results.

Although it is only in region

I'd hazard a guess that only the top setting regarding what kind of nation you are and what your "mate"'s nation is like matters. All others are secondary. Either that, or they put more time than necessary into programming this thing. =/

Yes the first option sounds the truest.

Of course! That's why you're a mod, you know. 'Cause you hanker after those airheads, and we all know that's a great quality for a mod.

Yeah, I agree!

It is funny! LOL, they did it this year probably because of the rise of dating sites, goes hand in hand (exscuse th pun) with what Newsweek printed this week (about MySpace and whatnot).

So cheers for being so in-touch with the world and to create NationDates!

Wow, okay, um.....I got a call from my Delegate about TEN MINUTES ago like "WTF IS UP WITH NATIONSTATES!" ('cause she wasn't around for April Fools last year, and come to think of it neither was I on this name, this was but a lonely puppet.....), turns out she got hooked up with me. Which is kinda icky, considering we've been best friends for five years and we're both CONSIDERABLY straight.

I, however, matched with the only guy in the region :D

Can't wait to see what next year brings.

They should have changed the banner on the homepage. NationDates is a great idea, except there is a big gray banner that says, "NATIONSTATES" on the frontpage.

I am... amused. The "Because sometimes even national leaders just want to make out" part was particularly inspired. *thumbs up*

The survey aspect of this April Fools is amusing, if only because I've built up a fairly large stable of puppets; after taking the survey, one of my primary puppets wound up with "Using a very complicated formula, we have determined that your ideal match is The Federation of Taredas"... and let's not even mention my puppet farm region, where every nation is one of my puppets... *insert laughing smilie here*
