A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading, "will oppress the masses for food", thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (Celestia has found easter eggs), and the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celestia's national animal is the Nanite, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Nano Credit

Well, it's in his spotlight. Maybe it's a new issue that hasn't been reported yet?

I COULD spill the beans on this, but I want to see if you guys can figure it out... ;)

And even if you don't, we mods won't spill the beans. ;)

Ooh! Ooh! I want to spoil it!

Easter Egg! - Should we pull the Lever?

Government Acts
The Issue
During the middle of the night, someone has mysteriously put a lever in the middle of the city park. On it, it says, "Pull the Lever, and See the World End."

The Debate
"I've always wanted to see the apocalypse." says a elderly man on a park bench. "All that fire and brimstone. To see God's wrath. Something I can tell my grandchildren about later on. I say we should."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


"Not on your life!" says says his wife sitting next to him. "If you pull that lever, we'll have no grandchildren, no life, only heaven and hell. Don't you dare pull that lever."
[Accept]


"Now, don't think if it as a do/don't option," says a hot dog vendor. "What if we give tours so that people can see the lever? Not to touch it of course, but to see that humanity can be ruined by such a contraption. We can make a profit."
[Accept]

What...the......... :?:

Does that have an Issue by/Edited by on it? ... you should post it on the Issues spoiler sticky.

This is....weird.

Wow! I hate it already!

I don't hate it so much as fear it. I don't want to know what might happen if I pulled the lever, but then I really want to pull it and see what those kittens do to my nation.

wooo, this issue sounds cool, easter eggs in NS finally!

YAY!!! :lol:

It would be even better if the effects of pulling said lever was random.

Wow! I hate it already!

Anything about this site that you don't hate?

I'm off to bed now, night all! :D

Hooray :D I chose the option 3 as well :D

oh well, ill be damned =) i was one of the first ones to get it.. hoorah!

bout time something like that happened in the 11 months celestia has existed. =)

ooh... this is gonna be cool, in just one more month 1/2 it will mean even more to be a 2002 nation =)

I don't think I get it. Why is this issue called an "easter egg" issue (yes I know what an easter egg is, but how is this issue one?)?

stephanie, confused

Probably some special requirement to get it, I guess.

I got the issue too, and it confused the hell out of me.

But I picked option #1 anyway.

Did anybody pick #2?

Wow! I hate it already!

Anything about this site that you don't hate?
Me. :)

Did anybody pick #2?
Option 2? Boring :P

Anyone who doesn't want to pull it is obviously going to make a fortune with it ;)

but what actual effects did it have on the nation apart from the text description?

what could rampaging kittens actually do to affect your nation???
apart from killing mice and the like, I mean :P

Oh, every nation I've seen that had this issue seems to be older larger nations, am I right?

I haven't gotten it. I don't have a clue how you get it. I want rampaging furry kittens though! lol

<- is an old-ish, fairly large nation

Easter egg issues will have three constant features (at least if I have my way):

They will have special (and odd) requirements to receive. Usually at least one requirement will be a user controlled setting, such as flag, UN status, or email address.
They will be issues that are just too odd or strange to put into the game proper. After all, this does try to be a somewhat serious game, and this is definitely not an acceptable issue for a serious game, but it is enough fun, we felt that you should have a chance of getting it anyway.
They will report how many Easter Eggs you've found in the spotlight (currently there is a bug so it displays 1 fewer)

So it are altered "normal" issues?? :?


Convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heinekenbier's national animal is the stoeptegel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the flessendop

from what i now know about it, i think this is from another issue (dunno which one although).

I want an Easter Egg issue.... im a 2002 nation, i deserve one :(

I want an Easter Egg issue.... im a 2002 nation, i deserve one :(

My only recommendation iwould be to look at the nations which have gotten Easter Egg issues and to see what they have in common.

Wow! I hate it already!
:lol: Is this a record Raev? :twisted:

Though I admit, my best description would be "interesting". . .

Funnily enough i think i just got one :) It was about building an Orbital Space Platform and no one else has got it and its not listed... I hope its not just a regular new issue.

i think it's the chaser to the space issue - just like the paying for organ donation one. just don't select the last option it scrapped my space industry and gave me +1 income tax on top of +10% from the space prog in the first place... so i bombed pretty bad on that... to get it you probably need to select either of the pro space program positions in the first space issue.

You could always report it yuourself. I'll bet all the Easter Egg issues will have the "Easter Egg -" infront of their titles.

I hope I get it.

Anything that increases my space program I want.

hmmmm rampaging furry kittens, I want some :( to go along with my black beasts of arrrrrrrrrrghhhhh

hmmm I see what many of these nations have......... Oh and can one of the mods tell me, once you answer this will the effect forever stay in your 3rd paragraph, or will it get bumped out over time like most issue effects are?

You can look at the third paragraph of any of those nations to get the answer to that queation ;)

I also think I have an idea what you need to do for this issue. Testing with a puppet *crosses fingers*

If it's an affermative, I might share ;) (but then, the mods might want it to stay a secret ...)

Eh, future Easter Egg issues are probably going to have even stricter requirements >=}

I've figured it out, with the help of someone who did a survey in another thread. Can I tell? Please? :twisted:

As long as enough people post in this forum stating they got the issue, and it's not something like an email that we can't see, I think with enough application anything can be solved.
