We have a countdown screen in our programming "empire" with a Ship Day countdown and DEFCON levels relating to the level of work we're
supposed to be doing (this almost never correlates with the work we're
actually doing

):
DEFCON 0: GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR
DEFCON 1: Programming duties only
DEFCON 2: Anyone is welcome to be productive
DEFCON 3: Anyone is welcome
DEFCON 4: Tomfoolery is welcome
DEFCON 5: Party in the Empire!
One of our mentors thought DEFCON 0 was excessive and coded it out of the countdown screen... was fun while it lasted.
