5/19/13 expect us

About

"5-19-13 Expect Us" Is a phrase mimicking the idea of an apocalypse on 2012. No confirmed details have surfaced as to what the date signifies other than a supposed 4chan revolution. The purpose of Operation Apocalypse (Where the phrase "5/19/13 expect us" came from) is to create widespread panic and/or speculation about what the date means for the amusement of those involved. It was also stated that /b/ is doing this as an attempt to show its power of information dissemination. The date itself is completely random and most likely nothing will happen (similar to Y2k Etc.) The phrase "Expect us" was chosen because of its vagueness and the way reader's imagination will interpret it to mean different things. The apparent leader (or leaders) of OA calls himself/themselves /b/rain and made it imperative that through the spreading of the message, you should seek to avoid permanent property damage.

The rules for OA are as follows, but in the OP it was stated that rules can be bent.

1. Don't talk about OA
2. Don't link OA to /b/ or 4chan
3. Don't explain the meaning of the message to civilians
4. Ideally don't get caught writing the message
5. stop all activity on New Years 2013 and sit back and observe.
