I was choosing an option for the "Need for Speed?" question and suddenly this occurred.

Has the site been hacked?

... edit: oh wait, april Fools... I'm such a sucker... nevermind.

Heh.

Yeah, surpised me too until I read the whole thing. After that, I was laughing for about 10 minutes.... clever bastards, lol :headbang:

Its just lovely. ;)

Heh, it only takes one UF student to be a sucker and constitute this year's April Fool's a true success!

However, I think last year's April Fool's joke was better...they wiped EVERYONE'S nation back down to a population of 5 million...

I got a huge kick out of it. That's the kind of stuff that makes NationStates fun.

I was half-expecting something, but nothing like this. I got my first "april fool" when my dumbass friend came into my room and farted on me in the middle of a Halo 2 game, then unplugged my Xbox controller and yelled "april fools!" and strings of swear words for the next 15 minutes. How clever.

The situation is nominal, citizen. We'll take it from here.

Glad you like it. Sorta the spur-of-the-moment thing. ^_^

I would've thought that the "war is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength" section at the bottom would've been a hint :P but seeing as it constitutes Bushes policies I can see this mistake being made. BTW!!! If your going to have 24 IE windows open.... dont! www.firefox.com <-----owz internet explorer

How bout this for revenge:

Take a crap in his pillowcase so when he finally lays down to sleep *squish* And make sure that you turn the pillow upside down so he first wonders where the smell is coming from and when he flips over the pillow....ack!

Yeah, surpised me too until I read the whole thing. After that, I was laughing for about 10 minutes.... clever bastards, lol :headbang:

Interesting, I laughed first, then read it, and realized it was a joke. Then I stopped laughing.

I like it I like it. Good one. ;)

It scared me for a second :confused:
clever joke

Glad to hear this is a joke!
Of course like Jennifer Government, NS could be cited in such a manner by an outside authority (bright laughter turns to dark nervous laughter)...

Hehe, here's a little comic strip to compliment that:

My gf told me she was pregnant...

At least it would've explained the gain in weight :p

Now that's just plain evil :P

Heh, it only takes one UF student to be a sucker and constitute this year's April Fool's a true success!

I resent that remark!

Meanwhile, in related questions, could someone please n00k this? (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=409299)

OK, I admit it, I fell for it too :( :rolleyes:

Hey, I'm from UNF...nobody said I had to be pro-UF ;)

Heh! I see....

I'm not sure how I would've reacted if I would've checked NS before IRC... Too bad... ....not.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."
A good 1984 quote....
Would it be ok to ask all those willing to have the first of April's party to move in the region known as 1984? :p
While at it, I don't think anyone would mind if you would stay couple months in the region. :D

Heh. I came on this early to see the April Fools day event.

I was sorta hoping for more though. Maybe a message that Max barry has closed the site due to unsubstainable costs of operation.

Or you could have been cruel and announced that NS-2 was completed.

Sorry, I couldn´t lough.

I would've really freaked if I saw something like you first suggested (the Max Barry option)...

Then again, the NS2 one would've been equally horrifying...

LOL
It took me awhile to get this. When I got this it wasn't April 1 yet in my timezone so I actually thought Homeland Security would be contacting me. Then I read that last quote, HA HA

http://www.animeleague.net/~berrik/emot-laugh.gif

Heh...clever. I wonder how long this had been planned?

I got scared at first, then calmed myself with thinking that "Hey, I'm in school. If they're gonna bust someone, they'll but the principal" before understanding that it was a joke. Good one, you got me :headbang:

Also, I just noticed that eagle contains Earth's symbol from Stargate.

Well....yes, it would. Stargate created the whole concept of 'The Department of HomeWORLD Security' at the end of....

No-one seems to have noticed today's UN ranking name.

Second most likely to be deleted today in my region! Also, curious that the least likely nations to be deleted (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/76010/page=world/start=129800) are all Nazis. MOD CONSPIRICY!

i saw it, and posted it here somewhere:D

I think it was great. And yeah I was had too until I saw the 1984 quote. Really though, shouldn't it have been a jennifer government quote? More subtle, less recognizable....I own the book, but I may not have caught on quite as quickly as with a 1984 quote.

171st (this man's best)? I demand an explanation why the mods are picking on me! :p
Pleeeeease keep this UN report as a normal UN ranking report.... *puppy eyes*
I haven't spent this much time on (nor laughed this much by) checking the rankings in a year :D

Melkor Unchained is ranked 1st in the region(Arda) and 6,015th in the world for Most likely to be deleted.

:D

My coworkers hate me:

The Most Glorious Hack is ranked 1st in the region and 2,661st in the world for Most likely to be deleted. :(

*laughs* :cool:

My coworkers hate me:
You? What about me? Not just me, my entire region!

Frisbeeteria is ranked 74th in the region and 872nd in the world for Most likely to be deleted.

Ironically, the last 2 nations to be listed on the 'most likely to be deleted list:


129809. The Holy Empire of Nazi-Germany Iron Fist Consumerists "Strength through discipline"
129810. The Federation of Nazi Germany Iron Fist Consumerists "Join us or die"

Indeed. I congratulated them on the irony.

Hack and Fris...I wont let them delete you.



What an excellent April Fools joke! Tell Max we loved it!

I have a funny feeling it was Salusa behind this.

Euroslavia is ranked 61st in the region and 9,717th in the world for Most likely to be deleted.

Wow, Fris's entire region is gonna be deleted. :p

I got that page, too. Great April Fool's Day joke. http://home.doramail.com/blondie/bangfist.gif

Flibbleites is ranked 1st in the region and 15,170th in the world for Most likely to be deleted.

I'd love to know how this ranking was determined.

Ooooooo I can't believe I fell for that..... :( That was terribe..hahahahaa I was mad at America....

8th in the region, 350 (about) in the world. Considering that my region has 31 nations, thats quite unusual. I love April Fool's day.
Did any Mac users here see today's TidBITS?

It was very clever. It certainly is a refreshing change from last year.

I was number one in my region! :D

Must admit the logo gave me a start...

Legend April Fools though.

:mp5: :D :sniper:

I feel sorry for:
The Republic of Estrato
Estrato is ranked 1st in the region and 1st in the world for Most likely to be deleted.
Bye-Bye!

its past 12 om clock here its ended

i thought it was totally serious until i started getting into it. its exactly something bush would do, so you cant blame me.
i like the 1984 quote, good touch.

I knew it was a hack the moment i saw it, the symbol looks nothing like the symbol used by homeland security

Hey and im rank the 5th likely to get deleted

It isn't really funny for me because I was once nearly arrested for being an a Government site by accident. (Yeah, Hacker'R'Me) they let me off with a warning because they couldn't find evidence and more-over because i was jusst 13, my parents grounded me though :mp5:

And that is probably as close as we are going to get to an admision of guilt, huh?

The best part was "Homeworld". For a second this morning I thought I typed in the wrong URL while at home. :)

Reversed. Max Barry would have had a lynch mob at his door if he hadn't.

And about it being something like Bush would do... I dunno. This looks more like Rumsfeld's alley to me.

My standard response to those who have been panicking in the Tasklist:
Citizen:

Your concern indicates to us that you have a guilty conscience and will be taken as proof of guilt, pending the discovery or fabrication of additional evidence by NID. NID agents will be over shortly to escort you, by force if necessary, to Camp X-Ray for detainment as per Article 17Q of the FREEDOM Act (H.R.R. 1337).

Any deviation from full compliance will be registered as additional evidence against you.

Attachment 1 (April Fools!)

Got to my nationstates page this morning and thought I was breaking the law. I was allmost ready to delete my entire computer. I am paranoid! Then I wrote the Moderator and they sent me a real official looking telegram and slaped me in the face with April Fools! I was had real bad. My wife laughed at my for about five minutes. Good stuff, again thank you. Artemus :p

You're quite welcome. I had pondered just saying "April Fools!" instead of doing the telegram above...

...and I thought...

...and light battled dark...

...and dark won. Muahahahahhaa.

I still don't know why you guys used StarGate for the symbol in the center. If you were going to really do it, you would have put Earth's address in a circle around the edge as well.

i'm in the us military and damn near had a heart atack (yes i have a minor heart condition)

I hope a Mod can conform this as I have been wondering all day, but It is all Stargate themed, isn't it? Homeworld Security and General Hammond are all SG1 Creations...

The Stargate Å is, as per the movie, the origin symbol--the seventh symbol. Thus, it is legitimate as a self-referential address... just like the patches that the SG teams use, as my friend is quick to point out.

How do you get that page?

Ahahah so funny, my wife get caught this morning, but I did not see that screen, except on this forum.
Nice joke, congrats to the jokers!

How do you get that page?

I hope someone noticed the 1984 references.

That was pretty awesome.

LMFAO...you dork

I was expecting something for April Fools day, and was surprised to see that. After the trouble some of us had with certain dictators in the game and to some in RL, I did not think it was too funny. "Homeworld Security?" Sounds too close to the Bush administration's Homeland Security attempt to take away the freedoms that was until recently taken for granted. I wonder what will be next year? :)

Thats gold :D

That was the point. Even though the name is ripped from Stargate.
