What the hell is NationDates? April Fools' Joke? Although I do like the new look. So, what do they mean 'monetize it soon' in their annoncements?

It means that an attempt will be made to charge you for it. It's like NS2, only a dating service. :)

You should've seen last years.

They had a page saying that NS was confinscated by the FBI for terrorist activities, selling of nuclear weapons..... Now THAT one freaked me out.

Not all of them. I got a date with someone in The Pacific and I'm in the East. But this may just be a Pacific thing.

Naw Uh..... I remeber when I was in a certain message board, and the administartor posted a page link worth telling all the user that his site was under FBI jurisdiction...... that he was under arrested and that the FBI would come to our house... that our PC number was being recorded blah blah blah


Now that... was hilarious.

Wow...this is hilarious. :p It's my first NS April fools and I was caught completely off guard. I thought someone had hacked it at first.

<www.nseconomy.thirdgeek.com>, the econ calculator that I use, has a great April Fool's prank, too. Check it out for yourself, especially if your'e conservative like me.

I actually gleaned some useful information from all this: a complete lise of every NS government type. Just TG me and I'll send it to you.

That they did. And reversed the GDP per capita, GDP, tax rates, currency exchange, and so on.

The NSEconomy "Joke" really annoyed me. I was trying to do my regions Wiki page, and I couldn't do the GDP!

Personally, I liked the Homeworld Security one. I created a RP based on it where Praetonia and I annexed the world. ;)

OOC: Remember the [U.S.] Secret Service's raid on Steve Jackson Games, because they thought that GURPS Cyberpunk was meant as a guide to RL hackers rather than as a RP supplement? :headbang:

Yeah, but the Department of Homeworld Security? Not to mention the 1984 newspeak stuff in the message. Boggles the mind.
