And speaking of The Egg ... the locals are still partying after finding out Salusa was stuck in an elevator for a day plus. Well, that is the unofficial story.

I wonder what this region is all about. It's pretty big for a "test region." Has anyone heard anything from the locals? The founder is older than we are.

The founder is Max Barry.

And/or [violet] (conspiracy theories still abound about whether they're the same person).

Testlandia is the admins' personal test nation for testing changes to the game. Testregionia was founded when polls were first added to the game, since polls are a regional feature rather than a national one, and so Testlandia needed to be in control of a region to test them. The first poll in the game is still on record as having been ours (well, "ours" - this was before everyone else moved in, of course).

Since then, various other players have moved in. Several other game staff members (mainly moderators) have puppets in this region, though not their main nation, and a bunch of normal players moved in because it amused us to share a region with the game's creator, and also because we simply wanted to test stuff, and so what region to better do it in than the most prominent one that's named after that purpose? (And now, because everyone is hoping to get Testlandia's card.)

Another fun fact: I also have a nation in the region that made second poll in the game's history, and that was completely by accident - our founder happened to be looking at the regional administration page, saw the form for making a poll, and didn't realize it was a new feature, thinking that it has always been there and he simply hadn't noticed before.

I am like 90% sure Violet is American, not Australian. Just looking at her posts in Technical.

For a long time, I have wanted to know Max's position on marsupials. Is he promarsupial or antimarsupial?

Is that a Richard Gere meme reference? 😲

I have pinned some dispatches. They are actually the top 3 trending dispatches worldwide ATM..which is quite absurd.

Or a highly peculiar test.

I would guess there is no advantage being in this region re. the card game now that the rules have changed??

The news post says: "During the April Fool's event, each new pack had a high chance of containing a card of a nation in your region. This remains true, but the chance is much lower."

Now I guess this could technically be interpreted as meaning "the chance is now the same as the chance of getting a card from any other region", but that seems unlikely to be the intent. I think there still is an advantage (at least, assuming you're aiming to get a card of Testlandia or one of the other indubitably charming and handsome nations that have made this region a home), but not as much as before.

Of course, the more card puppets move in, the more chance other card puppets have of just getting the cards of those card puppets instead of the nations they were after.

Someone should make the card puppet nations move out. Wait... 😯

page=deck/card=1?finds_history=1 really says it all. Since cards were restarted, not a single Testlandia card has been found by a member of Testregionia. The story is the same for A Badly Conceived Designation - not a single pull from a nation within Testregionia which supposedly has card farmers in it looking for cards. Similarly I have noticed absolutely 0% benefit to being 'in-region' with a card since restart and mostly have pulled absolutely no cards from the region my nation was in (ignoring outliers such as if your nation is in a feeder region, you are going to pull feeder region cards but that has nothing to do with the regional effect)

To me it seems very much like the increased chance of getting a card in your region is.. well 0%.
