[ WP ] On Dec 31st , 2016 , everyone hears the exact same broadcast message in their head : “ Level 2016 failed ; restarting level . ”

# # # LEVEL 2016 FAILED; RESTARTING LEVEL 
 
 It seems the whole world paused at this exact moment. Everyone stopped in their tracked to listen to the message that would redefine their entire existence. 
 
 # # # LOADING LEVEL 2016 
 
 People looked at eachother curiously. Was this a deity? A creator? A game developer? 
 
 # # # COMPILING ERROR; UNABLE TO RUN. 
 
 Suddenly, a sound akin to loudspeaker feedback spread across the world. It sounded like a man, around age 19. 
 
 **'' Earth? Was that what I named it? Uh... yeah, ok, it was Earth. People of Earth! This is your creator... um... was it Yahweh? I think it was Yahweh. Eh, whatever. They created like 600 new gods. This is your creator... uh... Mike! So, um... I made this world as a simulation. To see what humans could do without alien assistance, y'know? But... uh... you guys did n't really meet the set Humanity Standards. A few... well... most of your actions this'year' were n't up to par. For example, and I'm looking at you, America: misfiring a nuke at Russia? Bad move. -10 Human Standard Points. This one's for Russia: retaliating with all your nukes? Veeery bad move. -50 Human Standard Points. Y'know, guys, I thought living would be easier. `` ** 
 
 **'' I guess you guys need more practice. Maybe another go at the year, eh? Except this time, I'll just make that launch code fail. I mean, I've done this before. However, there are a few bugs in my code, so uh... Humanity.exe ca n't run properly. Goodbye for now, Earth. `` **
